meeting on Augustana's
campus this week will host
Dr. Maynard M. Miller,
chairman of the World
Center for Exploration
Research.
Dr. Miller is
headquartered at the famed
Explorers Club in New York
City. He has traveled
extensively, leading
expeditions to the arctic,
subarctic, and other remote
regions every year since
1946. He had been involved

executive director of the
Foundation for Glacier
Research; since 1960 he has
headed the Institute for

lncian customs
portrayec in
authentic film
Authenticity is not one of
Hollywood's most plentiful
commodity, but "A MAN
CALLED HORSE" is, which
is having its Arnencan
premiere now at the West
Mall Theatre.
Great pains were taken
during the necessary two
years of filming to present
complete honesty. The film,
which presents the American
Indian and their customs
with fascinating realism,
owes much of its
authenticity to the technical
adviser, Clyde Dollar, Sioux
historian and veteran student
of Indian customs, who is
currently on the staff of the
University of South Dakota.
"A MAN CALLED
HORSE" concerns a
questioning young English
lord who having turned away
from aristocratic society in
1825, is captured by the
Sioux Indians and made a
`beast of burden' in their
savage culture.
Richard Harris has the
role of the lord and femine
star is Dame Judith
Anderson.
"A MAN CALLED
HORSE" is more than a
motion picture . . . . It is an
experience!
While on campus for the
convention Dr. Miller will be
a guest of his personal
friend, Dr. J. R. Smith of
the geography department.
His talk following the
Academy's banquet on
Friday, April 24, is open to
the public and will be held
in the GSC auditorium. He
will also speak at a special
student body convocation on
Friday morning.
All convention meetings
will be held April 24-25 in
Augustana's Gilbert Science
Center with registration and
opening sessions scheduled
for Friday morning, April
24. The balance of Friday's
sessions and the first portion
of Saturday morning's
meetings will be devoted to
the presentation of reports
on research conducted by
the various devisions of the
academy.
