Batts, a history major from Mt. Orab, Ohio, is just back from a Christinas vacation spent as a member of Hope's troupe that toured U. S. armed forces bases in South Vietnam and otiter Far Eastern countries. Highlights of Hope's 15-day trek to entertain U. S. servicemen in Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Guam, Germany, Italy, and Turkey, will be shown on a 90-minute Bob Hope television special over the National Broadcasting Company TV network at 8:30 p. m., Thursday January 15.

That junket took Batts to Hawaii, Guam, tiie Philippines, South Vietnam, Thailand, and other spots, lasted until mid-October, delayed his entry as a freshman at WCU, but anchored his name on the USO list of experienced overseas travelers.
