GIBSON PAGE CO., INC Dealers in War Surplus Box 1130, Rochester 2, N. Y. The week-end's big party was the Farmer's Formal with Queen Marjorie Reynolds presiding over the festivities. Phil Kceney and Gordon Otte 'hankerin' for a crowd" made the rounds of the houses on city campus and es corted everyone to the dance in fine style the Farmer's Formal truck. As for entertainment, Kaye Ganger and Gilbert Gierhan did well when they combined their talents and came as a talking horse. Scare-crow Thil Tripp was a typical life-of-the-party and cornhusking queen Betty Becker was well pleased with her "fab ulous prize" a bottle of milk. Then there was Kings. Most shining party-er was Beryl Lot speich sporting an African orchid, present from date Colonel Jack Meehan. More happy couples included was Gene Edwards and pin-mate Jackie Ohe, a new arrival on the UN campus: steadies Bobby K e 1 1 and John Woods; and Joe Polack and his favorite red-head. Last mentioned was a surprise visitor since Joe rarely stays out after the street lights go on. Shortest pinning to date was that of Polly Ann Ritkley and Bud Krause which began at 12:25 a.m. Saturday and was terminated eight hours later. Moral of the story breakfast dates come too early in the morning. Eager and enthusiastic Acaca members Tom May and Don Tip ton began the Boulder trip follow ing their dates Friday night. Guess thpv arrived in time for the kick- off although they spent the night asleep on the highway. Has your sports column been reading differently lately? If it smacks or the feminine xoucn, u s due to Harold Abramson's charm ing new secretary, Neva Huttner. According to Harold, she's of "great value due to her short hand ability." Another vacant house on cam- , pus (for the week-end only) was that of the big Alph s wno mi grated to Omaha 30 couples ;tronff Amonff those oresent were Barb Turk and Sandy Porter, Mary Sue Holland and Bruce Hur quist, nnd Sue Marshall and Bill Cronan.

I had cheered myself hoarse, when all of a sudden out of the clear blue sky ... the Gophers started making more passes than a marine on a lonely island with a ship-wrecked girl. This is all fine and dandy but did you ever see a gopher catching a pass ... it is the most disgusting, nause ating and sickening sight believable. What can we do? We could outlaw the football itself. This probably would lead to a new trend in deception. There would be more double and triple reverses and T formations. I can see it all now . . . (big, burly Tom Novak) . . . "You fumbled and I recovered" (towering 7 foot, 483 lb. Minne sota man, littlest player on team) "I did not fumble . . . see I still have it". Can't you just see the kickoff now. The referee will clai mthe kick was in the end zone and a Husker fullback will say it was over the goal. This solution doesn't seem very probable. I remember the good old days when football was a man's game: there was no passing or aerial attack . . . and the only one who ever used to be "up in the air" was the coach. Those were the days when your opposing man would not only table the ball carrier but grind him into the ground with the slow determined impact of a steamroller going over a caterpillar. Let's go back to the days when "men were men anj wome wnere glad of it" . . . when football was not a passing game but a pastime . . . dating back to the days when Ro man crowds used to gather in a huge arena to watch the gladiators massacre each other. You can always tell a football player. His eyeballs are crossed and slanting upwards as if he were continually looking up at the skies for rain. This comes from watching forward passes zoom through the air. If we can't outlaw the football pass in order to do away with a now-frivolous sport, let's try something else. Let's play tiddley-winks with man-hole covers. Did you ever try to pass a man hole cover? Bo McLeahy . . . Coach of Penn State, former coach of State Penn. Dear Editor, There is a situation existing on this campus that must come to a halt. The problem to which I refer is the general lack of dates at the university. I have found (in previous experiences) that one must contact a girl three weeks in advance of the date in order to be assured of companionship. This is entirely unfair and something should be done. I know that date bureaus have been set-up on this campus before; however, they have not been efficiently organized. Other campus's have very good date organiza tions and I know of one couple who were married as a re sult of this action. My suggestion is that a "Date Committee" be provided as part of the Student Union activities. This "Date Com mittee" should be composed of women and men, both af filiated and unaffiliated in equal numbers. This committee should establish a good date bureau and henceforth elim inate this three-week mess. Yours truly, LeRoy Williamspn. 6, CKii6.(j 3y 7tanA cLvis "A smoother production . . ." In the words of technical direc tor, Robert Black, that is the aim of the University Theater in every production. There is definite prool, however, thM Elmer Rice's "Dream Girl," first major theater production of the season, will dis play a greater degree of technical smoothness than any of its prede cessors. Rivaling the revolving stage in giving each performance added polish are the installation of a modern sound room and a multi wired switch board. Sound Room Connects Theater To provide both sound effects and complete communication throughout the entire Temple au ditorium, a sound room, giving view to the entire sta-ge, has been constructed high in the right wings. Situated two feet in the air, the sound-proof chamber holds two radio station size turntables for recorded music and sound effects. It is also the central link between switch crew and sound. During rehearsals, the sound room is the connection between the cast and the director, when the special wall-phone and mike located in the rear of the auditorium is in use. All cuing will be done from the new sound room. Switchboard to Give Better Lighting The new switchboard, at pre sent a maze of wires and cir cuits, will give theater lighting a new sparkle when completed this weekend. The panels will provide 48 stage circuits, completely changeable. Nine' modern dimmers have been added, the largest one being 2,000 watts. The dimmers are brought together on a plugging panel and divided into 54 outlets. The new switchboard, combined with the sound room and revolv ing stage, have given the Uni versity Theater a definitely streamlined appearance.
