Booking Agency,
Discussed At Weekly Session
What do you expect of your
Student Council?" The Council
at its meeting Wednesday voted
to print this query in the Ne
braskan. If suitable arrange
ments could be made, student
response to this blank would
help the Student Council better
serve the students it represents.
The Outside World
McAuliffe,
Palestine
In News
Army Versed
In Atomic Info
Gen. McAuliffe, new United
States Seventh Army, com
mander, said that more emphasis
will be placed on the training
for U.S. troops in Germany.
Data on tactical principles and
information for greater defense
from atomic attack has been ob
tained and so the warfare pro
gram will be broadened, added
the commander. Gen. McAuliffe
who observed the Bikini bomb
tests is the '"first atomic gen
eral" to take command of the
Seventh Army.
Situation Tense
The situation is critically tense
in Palestine, reported Maj. Gen.
Vagn Bennike, to the Security
Council. A council session will
be summoned Monday to hear
the general's report and decide
what United Nations action is
necessary to restore calm. Even
though matters are uneasy, it is
not likely that a major world
conflict will result from the situ
ation, said the General.
Delegates Walk Out
The explanation groups have
been delayed since Monday be
cause of the walkout of the
Polish and Czech delegates who
were voted down by the Indians,
Swedes and Swiss. The two Red
satellite members left because
they could not win their point
in the Korean Prisoner Repatria
tion Commission. They proposed
that anti-Red Koreans be forced
to hear Communist efforts to
wheddle them home.
U.S. Military Aid
As soon as the plans for Euro
pean Defense Community are
ratified, United States military
aid will be sent to Western
European countries. Secretary of
State Dulles and other top offi
cials have been reported as being
confident that the EDC treaty
which has been stalled for sev
eral months will finally be rati
fied within the next three or
four months.
Germany is the only country
which has ratified the treaty and
if it passes it would mean re
arming West Germany. Other
signers include France, Italy,
Belgium, The Netherlands and
Luxembourg.

'The Play's The
An "on stage photograph
catches members of "Little
Foxes" cast in one of the scenes
lifffrMes1
Only 32 Present
By BRUCE KENDALL
Faculty Reviewer
Temple Arena Theater was the
scene of what resembled a wake
Wednesday night, as tbe.Univerr
sity. Theater inaugurated its
1953-1954 season. The complete
silence at the end of the first act
did not indicate lack of apprecia
tion by the thirty-two people
present. It was just that the
audience was so small that it
was embarrassing to applaud.
This was certainly not the best
performance ever presented by
the University Theater, but its
first night reception was scarcely
deserved.
AN EFFECTIVE arena pro
duction of Lillian Hellmans
skillfully contrived melodrama,
"The Little Foxes," may be pos
sible, but this reviewer doubts
it. The play calls, above all, for
deftly applied ham on the part
of those portraying its villainous
and maladjusted" characters.
With the underplaying of the
cast, necessary for the intimacy
of the arena, the impression was
that the foxes were only nibbling
at the vines, and one had no
fear for the grapes.
In the role of the vulgar vixen.
Re gin a, Pat Loder happily did
not imitate Tallulah; however,
she played the part as if she
were too much a lady to say the
mean things Miss Hellman had
written for her. Only in the third
act could orfe sense the evil of
her character.
CHARLES PETERSON coped
valiantly with Oscar, a character
for which he was completely
miscast. At times, he appeared
considerably more youthful than
Jack Parris, who played Leo, his
son.
Dale Holt portrayed the rascal
Ben on one emotional level,
never. having the oily finesse vi
tal to the role.'
The most convincing character
was created by Mrs. Fred Brad
ley as Addie, the servant Morrel
Clute showed .asitivity in the

role of the invalid Horace, and
Valerie Hompes caught the spirit
of Birdie, but did not give the
character the hysterical quality
it required.
Jean Carol Delong did her
usual competent job as Alexan
dra, and Clark Rhudy and For
rest Smith were adequate in
minor roles.
TWO DRAMATIC highlights
of the play ' were strangely
thrown away. One is the point at
which Regina turns on her visit
ing relatives and shouts, Why
don't you all go home?" In this
production, Regina spoke the
line as if it were a civil and sin
cere request.

United States.
AFTER BASIC training, Roe
ser served in "'casual detach
ment," working with court mar
tial .cases. It was Roeser's job to
obtain information for court
martials and to interview the
accused persons. Roeser men
tioned that in bis job bft met
"every type of person.
Roeser recommends Hawaii for
statehood and stated that the is
lands .of Hawaii are -Very ad
vanced in -every field,'" and not
primitive as many have been led
to believe, ' '
HE SAID he thought Hono
lulu was very much like Omaha
except that it was spread out
over more territory. The city, he
said, has every modem con
venience television, telephone,
city transportation.
Roeser hasn't had much trou
ble getting adjusted again to the
life of a student, but said that he
had forgotten some of the facts
that he had learned in previous
courses. However, be aid he
thought that his .experiences in
the armed service have helped
him.

The last act scene, in which
Regina is supposed to watch her
husband die without coming to
his aid, was played so rapidly
that Regina scarcely bad time to
retrieve his medicine, let alone
call "for help.
With' all its opening night
flaws, this production of "The
little Foxes" was considerably
better than the faculty and stu
dents of the University deserve,
as shown by their support Wed

are waiting until the new Temple

be curious to see how the place
has been fixed up.
