San Difeo State College student Tascher is in costume during filming of the student parody of "Beau Geste." It was filmed at the same location as the Paramount Studios movie, on the abandoned set of Fort Zinderneuf in the desert near Yuma. (The exact location is an archeological dig and may not be disclosed.) His Sigma Lambda fraternity sponsored the only showings, at San Diego State College.
