According to Earl Wynn. eom- murications center director, the' fire was confined to the attic on both sides of the east wing of Swain Hall (facing Smith Dormi tory), and the offices on second floor of the southeast wing. WUNC-TV Production Manager John Hawes first discovered the fire. It started in his office, h? said. "I was coming back from supper a few minutes early to pick up something for a television program we had scheduled when I discov ered it. He and television cameraman Dick Hess used fire extinguishers but by then it was too late. Hawes then "shut off the air conditioning" to. prevent the blaze from being fanned. "I'm fflad I bad sense (enough to do that.? be salrt. Asked -hmr it started,' be said "I have no idea." Wynn was conducting a televis ion lab course in Studio A on the west side of the first floor when the fire broke out. A student in the . 45-member class. Miss Louise Crumbley, said they first heard a noise through the ventilators, then saw sparks. After this, she said, they left the studio. Boys in the class began carrying equipment from the west side of the building, where the radio sta tion is housed. Lights on second floor of the east wing were out during the fire. The lights in other parts of the building, the west wing including second floor, stayed on. Most of the portable equipment was taken from the building, but much of the television equipment was soaked with water. On the first floor, the ceilings were dripping water from the first glance, they should be able son.

The attraction is produced by Maurice Evans and Emmett Ro gers. Evans has taken steps to see that the "Sergeants" to be presented here is the same production which ran for two year engagement in New York.

Rex Everhart as the frustrated Sergeant who become hopelessly en tangled in Stockdale's happy string of good deeds, and Tucker Ashworth as the private's lonesome and comic buddy are also from the Broadway cast. Howard Freman and Royal Beal play the roles they originally creat ed, appearing as two enraged draftee's everlasting good cheer. The direction has been supervised by Morton Da Costa, who staged the original. Peter Larkins science de signs, lacking none of their initial trick devices, have been re-designed by Gerald Ritholz to facilitate motorized travel and rapid shifts from town to town. Peggy Clark's lighting effects have been retained along with Noel Taylor's costumes.
