Thanksgiving . . .
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. There is no need to com
ment on the significance of that day. Thanksgiving means
a separte thing to every individual. We all have personal
things for which to give thanks.
As students we have a vacation certainly 'something
to be thankful for at this point! So, all we want to say is
have fun, and, as was urged in last Saunday's editorial,
drive carefully to and from school! It has been proved
to us in the past week that accidents can and do happen!
So, again, be careful m driving both for yourselves and
for others on the road.

The news is out! The Sig Eps
are going to hve a Communist
party. Don't shoot it's to be the
party-party kind of party. The
event has been dubbed the "Be
hind the Iron Curain" party by
Ray Biemond, founder. If invited,
don't foreet to brine your ham
mers and sickles and invade the
salt mines December 4.
But beware, comrades. Every
one is to be pureed at the door,
(This, they think, will exclude
Dean Thompson.) Then Mother
Russia. Mrs. Bloor and others will
administer the pledge loyalty to
the party,' no civil rights, etc. The
boys plan to lavish thousands on
vodka bottles and Gene Moyer and
orchestra, caviar and barbed wire.
Already planning to attend are
Pat Graham and Jim LIgtrett, Jo
Walters and Bill Hinchcliff, Jo
Swaa and Dewey Davis.
Another party coming up which
promises to be a notable one is
the Farm House Gay Nineties af
fair Dec. 4. At present, activities
scheduled behind the swinging
doors are questionable since two
of the fellas are contending for the
role of bartender. They are:
Johnnie Sans, wet candidate, and
Phil Skinner, dry candidate. May
the best man win.
SMALL, TALK Virre Adle
beamed proudly Monday night
when the bigger boys sang the
pin song in his honor. The boys
have been suspicious since Satur
day that Virge had presented Jean
Price with his pledge pin. Some
oof his Omaha friends have now
been spurred to action and may
spend the coming vacation con
vincing Jean that active pins are
nicer.
This week the breaks are being
given to Fred Chael who has fin
ally talked Edie Rasler into tak
ing him to the Mortar Board ball.
Jim Connors and Fritz Bender are
also worried and have decided to
sacrifice and get dales for the
Military ball if possible.
Van Westover arrived home
shivering Monday night. He sat
with Ginger Meehan for a half
hour on a snow covered bench
without even realizing it.

Dear Editor: '
Let me thank you on behalf of the men in charge of the ex
peditions for your illuminating report on our lunar studies. One or
two omissions in your feature story (published Nov. 21, 1948) do
not seriously impair its news value. However, in the interest ct
scientific accuracy, it may be well to supply the missing facts.
First, all in all four moonstones were found, not two as yoa
report These stones are now in exhibit at Burnett hall, Room 113B.
The public is cordially invited to examine them. No prior appoint
ment Is necessary.
Second, a grant of $3,000,000 given us by the Roggenfelder
Meadows foundation made it possible to import that great inter
ternational genius, Pierre Lapin, who solved the mystery of the in
scriptions when our own scientists, trained almost exclusively in the
practical applications of the sciences, were completely confounded
by the theoretical problems involved. Pierre Lapin's now famous
paper on "Moonstone Mathematics and Its Dactylic Foundations in
the Nature of Homo Lunaris" will appear in a forthcoming issiie
the University of Nebraska Studies, Theoretical Science series, Logico
Mathematical division.
Third, it to now certain that the third lunar expedition the one
described by your feature editor as "a thing out of this world" will
leave our planet on September 18, 1987. The stunning success of the
first two expeditions has made it possible for us to secure the in
valuable services of Hare Lamps, professor of theoretical theoretics
at Princeton Graduate school for Advanced Studies ,and second
cousin of Pierre Lapin.
As you and your readers know, Hare Lampe is the only American
scholar who thoroughly understands the nature of the scientific
method. That this is so is at first glance rather astonishing. One is
anturally inclined to believe that every American understands the
nature of scientific method, for we live in an age when Science
(with a capital S) is one of the dominating, ideas in our culture. On
the other hand, it is perhaps not so astonishing after all, for, as I
remember, Hare Lamps was the only Bright Light who passed
Philosophy 1 'way back in 1948.
Cordially yours,

Play Directed by Pagnol
"The Baker's Wife" was di
rected by Marcel Pagnol, famous
in France as a playwrite and pro
ducer. As director he has
achieved a new naturalism on the
French screen.
The film is the fcble of the
baker's wife who ran off with the
handsome shepherd and was made
to come back by the villagers, not
because they felt sorry for the
grief-stricken baker, but because
he wouldn't bake any more bread
until she did come back. The re
actions to the baker's seriocomic
plight is tempered by the char
acters in the story according to
that which each has to lose by
the baker's wife running off with
another man.
Baker Portrayed by Raimu
The baker is portrayed by
Raimu, termed by Pagnol as "the
greatest actor in ttie world."
Raimu made his first big success
in Pagnol's "Marius," both on
stage and screen. His career has
been a series of triumphs since, ml
"Charlemagne." "Un Carnet
Bal" and "Heart of Paris."
B. R. Crisler. in a tribute to
the Baker's Wife in The New
York Times, said of the film, "In
this philosophical comedy, to our
mindi. Marcel Pagnol and Jean
Giano more than fulfill the sup
erlative promise of 'harvest.
Raimu, the great artist, is bour
geois man, preoccupied not only
with his own daily bread, but
with that of an entire Proven
cal village."
