Beta Sigs Compare Alaska With Life In Africa,
 At Special Film Program

Kappa Chapter, Beta Sigma Phi, held it's second meeting in April at the home of Ruth Mclean on April 3. Dorothy Grant was CO., hostess.
 Plans for the annual Founders Day Dinner were completed, and program parts assigned.
 The cultural program for the evening meeting was under the direction of Betty Gustafson, who introduced her guest speaker, MT. Graham Ferguson, of Toronto, Canada.
 MT. Ferguson works with MT. Willard Van Dyke of Van Dyke Productions, New York City, in filming documentary material. They are currently engaged in filming White Alice operations in Alaska.
 MT. Ferguson gave an inter esting and amusing account of some of the trials and tribulations of a photographer He then showed films made in Africa for the Lowell Thomas television show.
 Colorful scenes shed light on the adventures and work of four white men living and working at pres ent in Africa. One man special izes in the study of snakes and the development of serum; two men are hunters, and the fourth man is an anthropologist.
 The life of the famous pygnie tribes, the cult of the Leopard Men, and many other aspects of the challenge and romance of Africa, made the evenings show ing a real adventure.
 A second treat for the evening was film on Alaska, provided through the courtesy of MT. Pearse Walsh, which offered a vivid study in contrasts between these two very different parts of the world.

Early next month the Air Force
hopes to stamp "operational" on
the Atlas Intercontinental Ballis-
tic Missile.
The expected announcement
will mark q stride toward closing
the gap between the American
and Soviet long-range missile pro-
grams.
Among the men largely respon-
sible for whipping United States
missile technology back into the
race with Russia is 1t. Gen. Ber-
nard A. Schriever. chief Of the Air
Force Air Research and Develop
ment Command.
Russia first claimed possession
Of an ICBM on August rs. 1857.
The United States had to wait is
months before the Air Force
blasted its first experimental At
las from Cape Canaveral over the
fun 5.o0o-mile-plus South At
lantic range.
Now, less than a year since that
test, the Atlas is about to join
the Air Force arsenal Of weapons.
None could feel greater satisfac-
ton over this development than
Gen. Schriever - who won his
present post and his generals
stars fighting for missiles.
It was not an easy fight. There
were times when he laid his
career on the block. an obscure
Pentagon colonel and former Ger
man emigrant bucking generals
who would not believe the space
age was about to dawn.
His Meteoric Rise
But in little more than five
years, Gen. Schriever has rocketed
to three-star general and helped
build missile technology into q
two-billion-dol lar-a-year industry.
Handsome and broad-shoul-
dered, this man with the sky-blue

One Of his favorite phrases is,
"stand up and be counted"
IF you believe in something"
he says, Eight for tat least
until q decision is reached on a
higher level. Then, whether you're
right or wrong, stand up and be
counted"
Gen. Schriever has been cred
tied with fighting for missiles
since 1850, when they were more
closely related to science fiction
than military science.
"It just isn't true he says, with
characteristic frankness. II did
not become sold on missiles as
weapons until late in 1852, when
chronological advances showed
that nuclear warheads could be
made small enough to At missile

up to that time ] had been
more interested in big bombers as
