Balloting at dance.
The new pep queen, who will
reign over all campus sports for
a year, was elected by the votes
of students attending the home
coming party. Balloting was held
between 8 and 10 p. m. under su
pervision of the Student Council.
Eleven women had filed for the
position.
The nominees had to meet the
women's rules for extra-curricular
activities and had to be either a
sophomore or junior.
Original plans had been to hold
a special election for the pep queen
preceding the dance but later the
plans were changed to allow the
dancers to express their choice.

MUSTACHE DRAWER'S DIARY
Perhaps one of the most inter
esting things that we have ever
heard is the mustache drawer's
diary which if we can remember
its idea runs something like this:
15th Had a great day today.
Drew a wax mustache on a
Lavoris woman on the street car
and a flowing beard (one of my
best creations) on an Arrow Collar
man. Also blacked out two front
teeth on a Pepsodent smile. A very
difficult job but the laughter and
applause of the delighted crowa
made the effort worth while. I
hear Lucky Strike is coming out
with a new girl tomorrow. Boy!
16th Lucky Strike did bring
out a new girl. By noon I was
getting tired of black eyes and
Van Dyke beards so I scrawled
"Hoorav for Camels" on a few
more of them and called It quits.
17th A new ad out today. It
read, "Do You Use Ex-Lax 7" I
answered this on four signs with
terse, "No!" These advertisers
are playing right into my hands.
18th Today I tried sometmng
new. took a ladder arouna 10 uie
fronts of theaters and readjusted
the letters in the marquee signs
Sometimes only had to remove a
punctuation mark. Am especially
proud of "Born To Be Bad With
Loretta Young.'' And now i
laughed when I got "Nuts To
Everyone" out of "University
Theatre."
19th Spent the day changing
"Men" and "Women" signs in the
hotel. Left the hotel hurriedly
two or three jumps ahead of the
house detective and several angry
women.
20th Took a wet sponge and
wrote "President Roosevelt Loves
Greta Garbo" on the grimy side
of a federal building. They'll
have to wash the whole building to
get it off.
21st The police caught up with
me Just as I was lettering "Rln-Tln-Tin"
across a Cadillac adver
tisement. Was taken to court and
was just able to carve a donkey
on the railing and label It "Judge"
before I was found guilty.
22nd Was taken out to be exe
cuted today. Stood up before the
firing squad with my face to the
wall. Just barely had time to
scribble a few words on the
wall. In Indelible ink, before I was
dropped by the first volley. The
firing squad all carved their
initials on my tombstone. I have
died happy.
Welles, fboy genius,' wins all
audiences during stay here
Theater prodigy
talks of aspects
of today s drama
By Marjorie May.
At twenty-five Orson Welles
has reached heights of fame that
many great people fail to attain
in their life-times but with all this
he i;i modest modest and oblig-
r
Journul and Star
Orson Welles.
ing.
This unprecedented man, ac
claimed by many as a genius,
showed great seriousness while
discussing his profession at a
press conference Friday afternoon.
Though his bearing while bein in.
terviewed did not mark him a
celebrity, his plump, boyish face,
thoughtful dark eyes and well
trained voice showed that he was
an artist an artist whose char
acter was built around his art.
No beard.
The fact that Mr. Welles ap
peared without his famous beard
aroused Immediate Interest. When
asked the reason he explained:
"I srew the beard for a role in
'Heart of Darkness, but we didn't
produce it because of the war. The
political situation in Germany
now makes the film untimely."
The story is still '"close to his
art" and he may be able to re
vise it enough to make the mo
tion picture. However, getting
back to his beard. "It's been
shaved off for six months, but for
some reason it became celebrated
during the short time I had it"
War degrades theater.
When asked, "How does the
present war affect the American
theater?" he answered, "War al
ways degrades the theater as
history has proved. People want
to get their minds off their trou
bles and because of this there is
a biz boom In the theater busi
ness. The standard Is tremen
dously lowered; a great many
cheap shows come out."
United States Is the only coun
try making motion pictures at
present: production in England
and Germany having stopped en
tirely. One point which he men
tioned incidentally was that no
good pictures have come out of
Germany since the nazl regime
took control.
Orson Welles considers "Long
Voyage Home,". the greatest mo
tion picture since talkies have be
gan. He also thinks "Stagecoach,
which he saw 57 times, an out
standing picture. In a typical
Welles style, he described some of
the colossal productions Holly
wood puts out as "incredibly aw
ful things."
President council
will coordinate
barb activities
Tne president council and or
ganlzation parallel to the barb un
Ion had its first meeting Thurs
day in the YMCA. This council
under the control of the barb ac
tivities board for women Is com
posed of presidents of organised
boarding houses, dormitories and
Towne club. Meeting the second
Wednesday of every month In El
len Smith, the organization will
coordinate the activities of all
unaffiliated women on the campus,
Sun&ry, OeloKer 27, 1940
Actor
eded
by civilization
says Welles
"An actor is unnecessary to civ
ilization," stated Orson Welles be
fore a crowd of approximately
6,000 Friday night at the coliseum.
"Nobody wants the theatre. They
take It because it is given them."
In his lecture, the first of this
year's Town Hall series, Welles
used "The Actor" as his general
subject. "There Is no life in the
world like that of an actor," he
explained. "We have experiences
no one else may have."
Stage history
Welles went on to show the his
tory nnd changes In the stage: '
"The glamor which once surround
ed the mere profession ot being
an actor is not enough now. A
new actor, if he is going to
amount to anything, must do
something new."
The lecturer disagreed with the
view of many producers that peo
ple go to theatres to forget their
troubles. "An actor," he said,
"mal es people remember who they
are and makes them glad of it.
He does not make them forget
themselves.
"Theatres can only exist if the
actors take into view the fact that
their audiences are human, and
make them feel emotion."
Following the lecture, Welles
gave readings from Shakespeare s
'King Lear," "Julius Caesar,'
"Hamlet" and "Merchant of Ven
ice. He also presented a short
monologue entitled "Subject of
Marriage."
