We are no pages. An Old Wound Never Heals History repeats itself attain with uncanny precision. Anl Spain the University Flayers have heM up their left hands and cried "foul" against criticism of their show, "Family Por trait," appearing in the DAILY. Since the days of old, the riavers have, at least once during the rear, heen the luitt of nasty little comments about their attempts to produce something cood and fine. No campus wound between these two organiza tions has a Mircer scab that never heals. No single deserving campus organization, with its friends included, can blow forth so quickly with a mawkish outburst of sentiment as tho Flayers. Their cries are justified if we accept their way of looking at it. They spend, as we do. Ions: hours in preparation of some thing in which they have their hearts and souls. Like us, of the DAILY, they are so close to the production side that it is often hard to see another point of view. The Players, like the DAILY, have their share of grief. To them we offer con dolences. They feel put out because they must use all students in their east. The quality of their production is lowered, they say, because they have been forced to discontinue the use of more experienced actors who naturally are not attending uni versity. The DAILY can make the same excuses. Somehow or other, it has never been able to get a qualified critic to judge Flayer productions. For some mysterious reason, it also is lim ited in its scope and endeavor by those who are new at the job and are merely getting their first chance to experiment. And bo, to us too, condolences arc in order. Ye do not condemn the writer of our criticism the other day, no more than the Flayers would condemn one of their brethren for a questionable performance. Yc are aware of the Flayers' hardships. We have attempted to foster their efforts this year. Their casts have always come under the cri tical eye even of the Flayers themselves. Their theater is inadequate. Their chief ticket-selling agents, the Tassels, have a hard time convincing students that enjoyable en tertainment can be cultural. Their attendance figures on Lin coln townspeople are small. The Flayers need every aid they can muster. Fut that w ill never excuse them for turning in any questionable performance before the eyes of an audience prob ably lacking the experience of being critical like our critic, who may have put it a little strong. fOChris Peterson Get orange sunburned. Orange will soon start peeling. Scare orange. Grab skin when it jumps out of it. Tell orange that it has the skin you love to touch. Orange will tremble like a leaf. Skin will shake loose and drop off. Turn orange over to gold-digger. Orange will soon be stripped. Hypnotize orange. Tell orange that it is a snake. Orange will shed skin. Call orange yellow. Orange will want to fight. Will remove jacket. Advise orange that too many clothes are unhealthy. Orange will want to grow strong and robust. Will undress completely. . Feed orange cod liver oil. Orange will slip right out of its skin. Wait for the advancement of science and the time when we will have skinless oranges. Convince orange that nudism is a great movement.

Dr. Henry Noble MmrCracken, Yasser college. State department man? Probably from 'big three' The U. S. state departr.nt may be the representative to u. world of the entire nation, but it's a Harvard-Yale-Princeton delegation bo far as the country's colleges are concerned. A recent study of the approxi mately X00 me rubers of this par ticular governmental unit reveals that almost 25 percent are from the "big three" universities of the cut, with Harvard ranking first, Yale second, and Princeton third Next in rank come Cornell, Dartmouth. Stanford, California. Michigan and Minnesota. Nebraska has no representatives in the state department at Wash ington, but has one graduate, John Moore, '27, In the Consular Service. He is now stationed In Japan. All told, there are 150 alma maters represented In the state department service. The average Williams college student sees three movies per week. . Fordham university next year will celebrate the centenary of its founding. To the Editor: The lead story of Wednesday's Daily Ntbraskan was concerned with the University Players' pres entation of "Family Portrait." The student reporting the play pre sented her opinion of the per formance. It seems only fair to a cast who have worked long weeks to pro duce a play for the enjoyment of the students of the university and the people of Lincoln that another opinion should be presented in your columns. "A prophet is not without hon our but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house." This was the theme of the play. It was developed by presenting the ordinary life of the family of the prophet in question. The players took this story, the most famous in all literature, and presented it to the best of their ability. The story of the Cruci fixion of Jesus is too well-known to be described here. But I should like to describe some of the out standing points of the story as our students told it Few people in the audience will forget the closing of each scene. Particularly outstanding was the close of scene two in act one, when the stranger turns to Mary and tells her he is Judas Iscariot. When the favorite brother Judah turns agninst Jesus and cries "I hate him!", when Judas says: "Nothing can destroy him," and when His mother sneaks the closing lines of the play: "It's a nice name, I woufdnt want it to be forgotten, it took a hardened Heart to remain un moved. For pure drama the scene in the upper room in Jerusalem would be hard to beat. The three Marys wait and hear the cries of the mob outside as they seize and crucify the man so dear too all of them. When criticizing individual actors their roles mu.t be consid ered. The hardest role in the world is that of Christ, and that of Mary, His mother, is second The play revolves around Doris Pellot in this difficult part, and she handles it with restraint and just enough emotion. The other two Marys fit well into their roles The sons are not ju.it the brothers of Jesus, they are four types of mankind found in Jesus time and still found today. Jon Pruden Jack Bittner, Verne Geissingcr and Bob Johnston realized this and played their parts accord In Temple theatre December U at 11 a. m, Hurry G.

To complicate the matter, the editorial staff was glad to re ceive comments from readers to that effect. Wednesday night the student staff went into a huddle and decided to put on "airs." The re sult: A messenger was dispatched for a fly sprayer, 25 cents: 12 ounces of rose water, 50 cents; an unidentified "parfum," 53 for three bottles, and rum. no one asked the price. The blend was sprayed on the Nebraskans as they came off the press. Quality was sacrificed for strength as the smell had to permeate the pages and hang on for at least three hours while the papers were being delivered. The cost was only $3.50, but the effect was priceless, defi nitely. Lincoln Journal. Miss Benedict here Miss Ruth Benedict of Joliet, Til haft been nt work her fnr rpv.

The dancer in the wineshop, Mathias the merchant and Eban, the ped dler, all deserve praise for ful filling their parts successfully. Not being well-informed in dra matic criticism. I hesitate to men tion technicalities. I can speak for the general impression of the play, and for the emotions pro duced by the technicalities. Con tributing factors to both of these were the organ music and me beautifully done settings. So I say congratulations to tne cast for a well produced and well acted play. Far from not having enough oomph they keyed the performance down to Heighten us dramatic intensity. The finest story in the world, presented in an original and entertaining man ner.
