Disease Peculiar
To Students Only
Mononucleosis seems to be a
disease peculiar to students only.
It is asssumed that the disease i
attacks students because of their ,
age and because of close living i
conditions. The cause is thought
to be a virus, but proof is lack
fng. For general information,
the symptoms are weakness, fa
tigue, sore throat, irregular
iever, and enlarged lymph
glands.
Pershing Rifle Hazing Offers
Guard for Women's Dorm
"Wha hoppened?" Men in
ROTC uniforms were guarding
the girls dorm. "Pershing Rifles"
were emblazencd on their wood
en guns.
The sergeant present explained
the situation. The guarding on
Tuesday was part of health week
for Pershing Rifle pledges, which
is being held from Feb. 6-11.
Guards were not to speak
while on duty, but the sergeant
gave them special permission to
speak to reporters provided that
they kept on guarding with eyes

With only ten rehearsals re
maining before their initial per
formance, cast members of "Glass
Menagerie" commented today on
Tennessee Williams' most famous
play. The third play of the sea
son, the University Theater pro
duction will be given Feb. 20,
21 and 22 at the Nebraska the
ater. In a back-stage Interview pre
vious to an evening rehearsal,
each of the four thespians pre
sented his own conceptions of the
individual parts.
Interviews
A brief conversation with Mar
jorie Miller, Lincoln speech ma
jor and a newcomer to the the
ater, revealed an analysis of her
part as Amanda, the mother:
'I hope to portray Amanda
Wingfield as a frustrated woman
who is as lovable as she is piti
able. She lives not in the present,
but in the past because life is so
bewildering to her. Eternally
struggling to survive, she runs
the gamut of emotions due to her
love for her children.
"Through this basic desire,
which is fundamentally good, she
finally nags her son to the point
where he leaves her and Laura,
deserted and despaired.
"It is a beautiful and tender
play a play with a soul. 1 hope
I can do justice to the part of
Amanda."
"Rrautiful ImaRrry"
Christine Phillips, also a Lin
coln speech major and one of the
"new faces." described the play
as "a beautiful imagery of mem
ory and full of fragile glass and
tinkling music.
Miss Phillips plays the part of
Laura, the daughter, about whom
the entire play revolves.
"Due to an early physical
defect," said Miss Phillips.
"Laura has allowed herself to bc
ocme acutely shy and distant to
a world of self-created moon
light a world of little glass ani
mals and old photographs records.
And because of this, the world
becomes one of soft illuminative
candlelight rather than one of
harsh reality.
"Laura is symbolized mostly
by a glass unicorn. When the ani- i
mals horn is removed the unicorn
becomes like the other glass
horses on the shelves, and one is
able to observe how Laura can
become a normal person when
her shell of inferiority is broken.
Gentleman of Cast
Besides the new talent, theater
goers will see the familiar veter
ans. Joe Moore, law college
senior and Cod Hartman senior
speech major, both of Omaha.
Moore does the part of Tom.
Amanda's son, supposedly a
weakling However Moore stated
that the audience might interpret
Tom's actions several ways.
Saia Moore, "I haven't yet de
termined just how my character
will be analyzed by the audience.
Tom is thought of as a strong
character type, he will be seen
as a no-good. However he may be
defined as a weak person and he
will be seen as a fellow that left
home due to a selfish motive.
"Or," added Moore, "the audi
ence may even agree with what
Tom does if they have once been
in a similar position. If my ac
tions are regarded with mixed
emotions then I will feel that my
portrayal has been successful."
Hartman CommrnU
Ced Hartman. a senior speech
major, described bis part its the
gentleman caller thus:
"Jim. is just an ordinary, but
somehow touching extrovert w ho
represents the mother's brief
hone for her daughter a man
who is disappointed but not dis
couraged."
Director for the play is Dallas

In August, 1949, Professor
Whitney appeared in a feature in
the American Magazine which il
lustrated a very uncommon trait
in people the ability to touch
the rose with the tongue. If you
can do it, you are one in thou
sands who can.
After one of his articles was
published, he received 20 letters
from all over the nation from
readers. One whole family could
curl their tongues in three places
and sent pictures to Whitney to
prove it.
King George
According to Whitney, King
George of England always has
aides read through his speeches
before he gives them to catch
words which the King cannot
easily pronounce, because he
stutters on such occasions.
"Stuttering seems to be caused
in many cases by the switching,
when the person was young, from
the left hand to the right hand."
commented Whitney. "For this
reason, teachers no longer try to
force the child to make the
change. Often a stutterer is made
for lile in this manner
Dr. Whitney, who is now 71,
will permanently retire this June.
Until then, be plans to continue
his studies of people and their
traits.

On Thursday evening, Feb. 9
' the University will begin an cx-

to fill these needs. For the first

The topic is divided into four

Extension club leaders.
Dr. Otto G. Hoiberg, super
visor of the University's com
munity service program, said
this conclusion came from re
sponses turned in by 145 Home
Extension club leaders from all
parts of Nebraska.
Sixty-six of the 145 leaders
listed a youth recreation center
as one of the chief unfilled needs
of their home communities. While
the questionnaire did not ask for
reasons, some of the leaders in
dicated a supervised recreation
center would help keep young
sters from "wandering the
streets" and cut down on "joy
riding." Listed as a second most urgent
need was public rest rooms with
custodial care. Third in line was
the need for "a community build
ing available for club meetings
and related activities at reason
able cost.

In addition to the two regu

Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, speaking

out that he recognized the im

that a knowledge of English

would equally interfere with a
student's success.

in the classroom.
Commenting on the course,
Wiley said that the department
feels that "it is a definite step
in the direction toward helping
foreign students to become in
tegrated in the University and
American life."
"It is one of many steps," he
concluded.
When students took the final
examination in the course, one
of the questions asked was what
was their opinion of the course.
One student wrote that the
speech class was a good place
where one could bring up all the
difficulties experienced in other
classes in speaking and get help
in correcting the difficulty.
Helps Distinguish Sounds
Another said that the course
helped them greatly to dis
tinguish sounds in English which
they had been confused with
previously.
All agreed that they learned to
correct pronunciation mistakes
that commonly ouccur with foreign
students.
Many words that previously
were mispronuonced by the
students were also straightened
out in the instruction.
Any foreign student interested
in taking the course this sem
ester may register for it at the
Registrar's office. Additional in
formation concerning the class
may be obtained from Miss Cat
