UM Marine Lab Plays Major Role In IGY Project
The UM Marine Laboratory, during the next 18 months, will play a major role in one of the most far-reaching scientific projects ever attempted.
The laboratory, which has done pioneering work on the surface and in the depths of the sea, along with other Florida universities will contribute to a project called the International Geophysical Year.
Several important IGY projects aimed at promoting a better understanding of the earth are in readiness.
Plans include the launching of a man-made satellite from Cape Canaveral and a study of the ways to understand and control tornadoes and hurricanes.
Work is so advanced that the U.S. Weather Bureau believes a way to break up or divert destructive winds will be discovered within the next decade.
UM faculty members and researchers will help check the mass of material that will be gathered from the heights and depths of the universe.
Meanwhile other universities in the state will do research on the use of rockets in weather forecasting, radio waves sent out from the planet Jupiter and fuels to power the rockets that will launch artificial satellites into space.
Film Workshop Begins Today
The advanced summer workshop in film production, sponsored by the Radio-TV-Film Department gets under way today with an anticipated enrollment of 16 participants.
The concentrated course continues through July 24, as a sequel to an introductory television workshop which ended Tuesday.
The workshop will take up sound-film recordings and complex editing procedures. Students will work in teams on actual film making, and some will specialize on projects in particular phases of production.
Many participants are already engaged in television work. All have had experience preparing them for the production problems involving TV formats.
Much of the work will be done in WTVJ studios using actual telecasting equipment. Preparatory sessions are held on North Campus.
Instructors are O. P. Kidder Jr., associate professor of radio, television and film, and Paul Nagel Jr., assistant professor of radio, television and fUm.
The first workshop consisted largely of basic theory and introductory work with cameras, projectors and laboratory equipment.
The first course was intended primarily for students with no extensive practical experience in professional film production.
Emphasis in both workshops is on 16 mm. motion picture making for television use.
'Heaven' Allows Movie
"All That Heaven Allow«" is the weekly movie to be shown in the Student Union Patio at 8 p.m. Thursday.
The film on romance and community life again teams up Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson, the pair that made “Magnificent Obsession”
famous.
Students are admitted free upon presentation of ID cards.

Carol Baldwin Named Successor To Abdicating Florida Citrus Queen
Carol Baldwin, 18-year-old West Palm Beach beauty and UM sophomore, is scheduled to leave today for Charlotte, N. C„ to replace Frances Layton who “abdicated” last week as Florida Citrus Queen.
Miss Layton, 19, resigned to marry Dick Pope Jr., former national water ski champion.
Winston Lawless, president of the Florida Citrus Exposition, said Miss Baldwin, a runnerup in the citrus
contest last Feb. 13, would officially succeed Miss Layton.
The new queen, a radio-TV-drama major at UM, may go to Charlotte with another title: Miss Dixie of 1957.
Miss Baldwin, a runnerup in the 1956 Miss Dixie contest, was to compete yesterday at Daytona Beach for the title. Results of the contest were not known as The Hurricane went to press.
Three Appellate Court judges called their first session to order Monday in a converted Law School classroom, and heard cases behind benches on which the shellac had hardly

dried.
A crew of carpenters and painters worked hurriedly last week, improvising a section of the Baron De Hirsch Meyer Law School Building, in an attempt to bring justice “closer to home.”
The paint buckets and hammers had just disappeared from the scene when the new judges—Charles A. Carroll, Tillman Pearson and Mallory Horton—began judicial service at their temporary headquarters after taking their oaths of office.
Russell A. fiasco. Law School dean, said these temporary headquarters may serve the judges for the next 3'/i years.
The University, in hopes that permanent quarters for the new court could be constructed on campus, deeded a plot of land for that purpose.
However, Gov. Leroy Collins dampened these hopes last Friday when he vetoed a one-million-dol-lar appropriation for construction of office buildings for the three appellate divisions. The other two divisions arre in Lakeland and Tallahassee.
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, UM president, expressed surprise at the governor’s action.
lie said he thought the location of the Appeals Court here would be a “fine thing—both for the court and the inspiration of future lawyers being graduated from the Law School.”
Dr. James M. Godard, executive vice president and dean of administration, said he felt the permanent office of the new South Florida court “will eventually be built at UM.”
At present, the three judges seem pleased with their temporary quarters. Dean Rasco said he talked to them Tuesday and “everything was fine.”
Aimed at lightening the load of the Florida Supreme Court, the three appellate divisions will hear cases appealed from Circuit Courts.
A heavy docket was awaiting the new judges. Carroll said the court will hear cases this week and three next week, then begin to make rulings.
Judge Carroll has been named presiding judge of the new court.

Storm, Sports, Pseudonym
Popular Ellie Leaves UM Job
Everyone at UM knows Ellie. Some know her as the woman in the publications office with the pleasing telephone voice, others know her as a person who has coordinated more beauty contests and fashion shows than Hedda Hopper has hats.
Some have called her “Ellie” ever since she’s been at UM, never knowing that her complete name is Eleanor Starkstein; others know her as Elmer Storm, her popular pseudonym.
Well, Ellie. Eleanor. Miss Starkstein, Elmer or Miss Storm (whatever you know her by) left UM this week to fill a position in the fashions and promotions department of Richard’s.
She was at the University several years, having been graduated here in 1952 with majors in journalism and Spanish and minors in psychology, sociology and history.
For the last three years, she was assistant to Norman D. Christensen, director of student publications.
Many readers, familiar with the byline Elmer Storm, never knew it was Ellie’s pseudonym. She started using the name when she became Hie Hurricane's first woman sportswriter.
This pseudonym got “Elmer” selected as Playboy’s representative at UM (her sister submitted the name), but Ellie said she never accepted “the post”
Elmer Storm's name was once brought up for membership in Omicron Delta Kappa, men's leadership honorary, and she almost got accepted before the hoax was discovered.
During her years here, Ellie has been close to the pulse of the University and its students.
She spent many nights typing book reports for students and tutoring them through their Spanish courses. And she has coordinated dozens of programs and contests for the University.
"Leaving here is like leaving home after all these years," Ellie said before she left. “I want to go because I have a good and interesting job, but I’ll sure miss UM.”
