The end of the first six weeks
has rolled around again as only
the ends of first six weeks can
roll. And at the same time, the
new month of March has rolled
around as only, etc. These two
rolling phenomena result in a
good deal of mail sent out by (1)
the university administration and
(2) business firms and other or
ganizations. The majority of the mail in
- question consists of letters sent
to university students. Now you
' can send one type of letter to
' some of the people all of the
time and you can mall another
type of letter to some of the
people some of the time. You
can also mall one type of letter
to alt of the people some of the
time and the other type to some
of the people all the time. But,
and this Is the point you want
to let go in one ear and not let
it escape out the other, you can't
mail all types of letters to all
. of the people all of the time.
Therefore, for the edification of
those who get one type and not
the other, we print an example
of the other. And for those who
get the other type and not the
first, we print the first. That way

Student Council Broadcast
Turns to University
Players' Show.
A mythical interview between
Queen Elizabeth and four report
ers will feature the third in a
series of broadcasts sponsored by
the Student Council tonight at I
7:15 over KFOR.
The university speech depart
ment is the subject to be publicized
in tonight's broadcast, and the
program's title, "Fifteen Minutes
With Good Queen Bess," is a
timely one, inasmuch as the cur
rent University Players produc
tion showing nightly at the Tem
ple theater is Maxwell Anderson's
famous play, "Elizabeth the
Queen."
Verda Hoffman Plays Elizabeth.
Because the University Players
are busy at the Temple at the
time of the broadcast, Vera May
Peterson Yinger will not portray
the radio Elteabeth. The part will
be taken by Verda Hoffman, while
the four reporters will be Hollis

During the program, Queen
Elizabeth will reveal her ideas on
such subjects as beauty, marriage.
war, and why women should hold
their tongues. All of her lines will
be quotations from famous
speeches made by the queen dui
ing her lifetime.
The sketch has been directed by
Miss H. Alice Howell, chairman
of the speech department, and

Players Final Performance!
Wins Spontaneous
Acclamation.
BY MARY STEUTEVILLE.
Vera Mae Yinger stalked and
raved her way into a very con
vincing role of Queen Elizabeth
last night when the University
Players presented their last per
formance of the year, Maxwell
Anderson's "Elizabeth the Queen."
Those who watched Vera Mae
vulgarly yell at her inferiors and
wretchedly send her lover to the
axeman were satisfied that the
young actress displayed the most
dramatic talent that has appeared
on the Temple stage for some
time. To her goes most of the
credit for making "Elizabeth the
Queen a play that will be listed
as one of the Players' rare triumphs.
Red Hair Dominates.
With Queen Elizabeth's chief
lady-in-waiting Penelope Gray,
played by Claudine Eurt, red hair
dominated the stage. Slightly
clashing in color, the Queen's mo
mentarily fiery locks oushown
the naturally gleaming tresses of
Claudine. Tossing her red hair
about, the queen told the secret
of her rotten disposition in short
words: "It was my bringing up. I

it shattered by nerves.
Richard Rider, miscast in the
role of Essex, appears on the stage
in the first scene and gives his
audience the impression that he is
a fraternity president dressed up
for the annual masquerade. Later
he picks up speed until in a scene
in which he tells the queen that he
loves her you almost believe him.
It is he who speaks the most note
worthy line of the play: "If we
two had met some other how we
might have been great lovers .
if you were not queen and I were
not pretender, the God which
searches Heaven and Holl for per
