Rusk said that since the Unit-

is up to North Vietnam.

long hours working with his three

it shows. There were audible
gasps from the audience each
time Shawn Elmore, as Hans, op-
ened his mouth to sing. There
really is talent in Oklahoma.
Poor Castine
The play was marred by poor
casting of the smaller parts.
While several of these parts were
only so-so, some of them were
wincingly bad.
The influence of Harrold, who
is visiting OU from the New York
City Opera, could be seen often
in the staging. There was too
much opera in this musical. Ma-
ria, especially, seldom looked at
any of the other players, but fac-
ed full front to the audience. We
wanted to see her face, but it was
a bit disconcerting during a love

on the captain and talk over her

Choreography by Bobby Heath,
Arlington, Tex. junior, and some

vastly appreciated by the audi-

It was an enjoyable evening.

to see musical comedy once
again at OU.

The truth:
Crime in Oklahoma increased 6,073 cases while Bellmon was Governor.

crime went up, but he did nothing to strengthen law and order.

said that at the time of the trial
the defense had not known about a
physician who examined Miss Ward
Feb. 7, the day before she died.
The physician. Dr. Dewey Walden
of Tulsa, testified at the Thursday
hearing that he examined Miss
Ward at a Tulsa hospital clinic. He
stated that she was carrying a dead
fetus at that time and was suffer-
ing from a ruptured uterus.
The Tulsa doctor said that he in-
formed Mucie of his knowledge of
the case and that Mucie visited him
in Tulsa, during the first few days
in July.
In denying the new trial motion,
the Judge ruled that since Mucie
had known of the matter since early
in July, “I do not consider this new
evidence,”
tial election had not affected the
timing of Johnson's decision.
"He did not expedite the de-
cision, he did not delay it, for
internal reasons," the Secretary
said. Rusk said, that Johnson re-
moved himself from Politics on
March 31 to enable himself to
deal with the question of Viet-
nam "on the merits”, without
being under the political pres-
sures of a candidate.
Asked whether he
Johnson had expedited the de-
cision to halt the bombing for
political reasons, Rusk said, “I
think the answer is clearly, no,
he did not.”
"I doubt very much that it
will have very much effect on
the elections," Rusk said in con-
cluding his answer to whether
the bomb halt was timed in con-
nection with the election.
Major Development
Rusk further stated that he ex-
pects that South Vietnam will
participate in the Paris talks
and that their presence should be
considered “a major develop-
ment” in broadening the Paris
talks. He further added that
South Vietnam was previously
reluctant to discuss “the matter
because of questions of proce-
dure.”

lost by the failure of the cast to
speak out. They were not aided
any by the abominable sound
equipment with which they were
forced to work. Nor by the acous-
tics in Holmberg. And the or-
chestra was far too loud.
Sweat - Shirts Distracting
Someone really should tell the
stage crew to slow down. The
scene changes were fast and kept
the play from dragging, but the
sight of half a dozen sweat-shirt-
ed stage hands running across
the stage between scenes was
terribly distracting.
It was worth the price of admis-
sion, however, to hear the sing-

Dr. Richard P. Mucie, convict-
ed June 27 of manslaughter, by
abortion, in the death of a Univer-
sity of Oklahoma coed, Miss Nancy
Ward, had sought another trial on
the grounds that new evidence had
been discovered.
After overruling the new trial
motion, Judge Paul F. Vardemen
asked whether there was any legal
reason why a 10-year prison term
should not be formally imposed.
Mucie, weeping, responded that
"My case has never been present-
ed properly." He stated that dur-
ing the trial the prosecutor said
Miss Ward “just laid there and
died. She didn’t die in agony.”
Mucie said the girl and her boy
friend shared a soft drink and the
girl, groggy from an anesthetic,
went into the bathroom, where she
fell asleep Mucie further stated
that both he and the boy friend,
also slept. He added when he a-

later he found the girl "barely

Sound of Music: An Enjoyable Evening With Faults
By STEVE DIMICK
Fine Arts Reporter
It was one of those evenings
that are so enjoyable, it’s almost
a shame to mention the many
bad points.
"The Sound of Music," which
opened Thursday evening in
Holmberg Hall, was undoubtedly
a success. Presented by the OU
Opera Theatre, the production
was directed by Parker Willson,
Ft. Worth graduate student, un-
der the supervision of Professor
Jack Harrold, director of the Op-
era Theatre.
Shirley Rhodes, Pauls Valley
senior, as Maria Rainer, the
young novice sent to be govern-
ess to the eight Von Trapp chil-
dren, did a nice job but could
have been much stronger. To
counteract her strong Oklahoma
accent, she was obviously in-
structed to pronounce each word
clearly and distinctly. She went
a bit overboard, her voice sound-
ing stilted and unnatural and
Rusk Says Halt Won t Affect Vote
WASHINGTON—(UPI)
—Secretary of State Dean Rusk
declared Friday that the North
Vietnamese “clearly understand
what is expected of them” in
exchange for the bombing halt
ordered by President Johnson.
He told a news conference that
he would not spell out the agree-
ments involved either at the
peace table or battlefield level,
but he added "there is no mis-
understanding on that point.”
He also urged other govern-
ments who have advocated an
end of United States bombing of
the North to take action requir-
ing the Hanoi government to
halt agression in the entire
Southeast Asia area.
Repeats Caution
Rusk repeated Johnson's cau-
tionary note that there may be
hard fighting still ahead.
“This does not mean the end
of a struggle,” he commented.
"It is the opening of a new
chapter.”
“We are also interested in
what others will do to insist on
Hanoi taking steps to achieve
peace . . Rusk added in a
prepared statement read to
reporters.
Rules Out Politics
Rusk said he felt it was clear
that the United States presiden-
The truth:
Deaths on Oklahoma highways increased while Henry Bellmon was
Governor. The year before he took office, 709 people died on Oklahoma
highways. In his last year as Governor, 798 persons died on Oklahoma
highways — 89 more deaths, up 13% while he was Governor . . . our
population increased only 2%!
keeping her from relaxing com-
pletely in her role.
Potential Was There
Ralph Duncan, Edmond gradu-
ate student, who played Captain
Georg Von Trapp, could easily
have outshone the rest of the cast.
It is regrettable that he did not,
for the potential was there. He
seemed to understand and to be-
lieve his character more than
anyone else on stage. He may yet
come through before the show
closes.
Two more roles were noticible
for their quality in comparison to
the rest of the cast. They were

And then, of course, there were
the children. It is not easy to
work with children, some of
whom are as young as five years
