Directory Vendors Give
Passerby Rough Time
BY FRANK JACOBS.
I don't like to be obnoxious. I
don't want to be known as a per
son with a complex, but . . . the
situation is becoming extremely
difficult. It all started when I
tried to be friendly. That's alf,
iust friendly.
I was walking thru the lobby of
the Student Union, minding my
own business when what should I
spy but a nice-looking booth en
closing a nice-looking girl. Being
of sound mind, I took one mind
you, ONE step toward the booth.
That one step was my downfall.
The second this hussy saw me ap
proaching, she emitted a loud,
sharp, piercing whistle.
The Old One-Two.
Immediately, the world moved
around me. From nowhere, sev
eral dozen glamazons, seven feet
tall leaped upon me and with cries
of "You haven't bought your new
Student Directory, have you?" si
multaneously kicked me horizon
tally, collected my last fifty cents
from my pocket, and threw a
light blue colored book in my face.
Then slapping me on the back
they sent me off with the re
joinder, "We knew you'd come

across! Boy, there's a guy with
school spirit! Bully! Bully for
him!"
Later that evening, as I was
connecting several loose ribs,
pondered those parting words,
"Hmmm . . . now that I have my
copy of Xhe Student Directory
published by the Student Founda
tion, (perfectly all right, Miss
Landeryou, any time) what can I
do with it?"
Absorbing Title.
I pawed on, page after page,
until I reached a section titled
Faculty and Administrative per
sonnel. Here a wicked gleam
formed in my eye. Now, I could
learn some of the strange middle
names of the unsuspecting in
structors and possibly develop a
few cases of blackmaiL The list
that I gathered was an imposing
one: Cuddington, DeWitt, Waldo
Alonzo. DeVere, Darwin, Noel
Claremont, Chauncey and TWO
Sylvesters.
Jammed With Facts.
Making a mental note to start
mv whispering campaign immedi
ately, I paged on, hoping against
hope to find something that l
didn't know already. At last, my
efforts were rewarded. Who could
imagine that Norris Aardappel
and Robert Zwiebel are the first
and last names (respectively) ap
pearing in the student section of
the directory? well, I didn't, ana
it certainly was a load off my
mind when I found out. I was
nearly in a cold sweat.
In the student section of the
1947-1948 Student Directory I
found 106 Johnsons, 61 Andersons,
59 Smiths, 48 Nelsons, 46 Millers,
40 Joneses, 36 Browns, 34 Han-
sens, 32 Wilsons, 2 Hollingsheads,
and 1 Ziegelbein.

In "Messiah" Sunday
The most popuUr work of its
kind will I periormed Sunday at
3 p. m. in the coliseum when Dr.
Arthur Westbrook directs the 600
voice Choral Union in Handel's
200 year old oratorio, "The Mes
siah." Altho the long work, divid
ed in three parts, traces the en
tire life of Christ from nativity to
resurrection, Handel wrote the
oratorio in less than 25 days.
The complete choral, orchestral
and solo score was written by
Handel in the three week period,
the first part of the great orato
rio requiring seven days to write,
the second part nine days, and
the third six days.
"Inspired Giant."
Flomer, a biographer of Han
del, describes the work as "the
achievement of a giant inspired."
He also wrote "Handel was un
conscious of the world during that
time, unconscious of its press and
call. His mind did not leave tne
house, his man servant brought
him food, and as often as not re
turned in an hour to the room to
find the food untouched, and his
master staring into vacancy.
"When he had completed fart
II, with the 'Hallelujah Chorus,'
his servant found him, tears
streaming from his eyes. 'I think
I see Heaven before me, and the
great God himself!' he exclaimed."
No Hoops.
The riremier of the "Messiah,"
given in Dublin, Ireland, resulted
from an invitation sent by trie
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The
concert hall management antici
pated the large audience that
plans for a new co-operative gro
cery store will be discussed.
A co-operative boarding ciud
for Baptist men students is now
functioning and will have a busi
ness meeting Monday after dinner.
A Christmas program under the
leadership of Myrlee Holler will
be held at 6:30 p. m., Sunday, Dec.
14. Supper will ze served at 5:30
p. m.

would crowd to hear the oratorio
and in advertisements tried to
persuade the women not to wear
hoops and the gentlemen to leave
their swords at home, in order
that there would be sufficient
room to seat the crowd.
This Sunday's presentation of
the "Messiah" will be given by
five University and Lincoln chor
al groups forming the Choral
Union. A seventy-piece orchestra
under the direction of Emanuel
Wishnow, will accompany the
giant chorus. Assisting will be
Earnest Harrison at the piano, and
Myron Roberts at the organ. The
University Brass choir directed by
Robert Stepp will play a half
hour program of Christmas carols
before the performance begins.
