Evening Post.
Kline, with seven other men,
survived seven hours of 38,000
foot atmosphere created in a
cylindrical tank. Eighteen men
entered the tank, in which con
ditions were arranged to simu
late high flying atmosphere.
Ten of the men were unable to
stand the pressure and had to
be removed.

Uni Theatre Leads Shift
Walls, Nail Sets
BY JIDGE MASON
News of a coming University
Theatre play brought me out of
hibernation yesterday to satisfy
my curiosity as to current activ
ity in the theatre world. Making
my way to the Temple, I found,
much to my surprise, one of the
leading characters, dressed in
jeans and flannel shirt, reeling
under a large stage window which
she was trying to seat into the
wall flat.
The girl was Dorothy James,
who plays the role of Olga, a 17
year old Russian girl. Watching
her work industriously on the
stage set started me wondering
just what goes on behind the
scenes to produce a play.
wo sooner had the thought en
tered my mind than the big oak
door of the set opened and in came
a smudgy, paint-bespattered per
son whom I had difficulty recog
nizing as Joan Bohrer, portrayer
or Marion Curwood, an English
girl, in the coming production.
Behind the coating, I perceived a
wide grin on Joan's face as she
dragged a piece of wall, which
she had been painting, on Btage.
btandmg there watching the
girls, I recalled the last time I
had seen these two, smoothly
dressed for ' an evening out, and
wished their dates could be pres
ent now to see them sitting on
the floor, hammer in one hand and
nails in the other, cheerily putting
their "front hall together. Yes,
I was to find out before the after
noon was over that he really lets
his hair down who gets in one of
tterne HJishns productions. Act
ing isn't the only job by far, for
all of the characters become well
acquainted with the work shop
before opening night rolls around.
Wandering up three flights of
stairs to the work shop, I stopped
with a jolt at the sight of Roberta
Burgess, rip-saw in hand, en
deavoring to part a board in the
After this tranquil and serene
night's rest they awakened on this
cold bleak morning and found
tHfclr door open. Super-sleuths of
the Residence Hall have tried to
find who unlocked the latch.
Did It want their nylon hose?
Was It looking for their No. 18
stamps? Did It long for their
record of "You'll Never Know" by
Frank Sinatra?
Was It superman ? Did the Thin
Man come under the door? Was it
a gremlin?
No, you don't have to tune in
next week or send two box tops,
merely notify residence hall or
contact this office if you hear
of a person who fits this descrip
tion.

From a Tassel Woo Woo
lecture is "Preparing for Marri
age." Plans for the fourth lecture
have not been completed.
The meetings are designed to
give those interested an opportun
ity to hear lectures on marriage.
The series was begun by the Mor
tar Boards in 1941 and last year
it was placed under the joint spon
sorship of Mortar Board and
YWCA and this year YW is sole
sponsor.

the realization that she was han
dling the saw deftly, without bend
ing the blade or amputating her
fingers, as is usually expected of
girl carpenter. With bated
breath I glanced another direction
to see Jean Recine, Betty Rhodes
and Phyllis Overman on various
levels of a rickety stepladder,
painting a tall flat.
Enshn Beats It Out.
Boys were there, lowering the
flats on stage and doing other
heavy work. From Art Beindorff
heard the interesting story of
Friday night when Art, Don
Keough, Victor Ferris and Bill
Major stayed up with Mr. Enslin
until the early hours of the morn
ing, working on the stage. When
they had finished, Director Enslin
sat down at the piano and "beat
out some solid boogie woogie" for
a half hour.
Janice Marx, June Heilman and
Barbara Berggren were also seen
doing odd jobs about the theatre,
along with practicing their parts
for the production which opens
Wednesday.
When I left the theatre, I de
cided not to go back into hiberna
tion until after seeing "Letters to
Lucerne. Judging by the ambi
tion and former experience of the
actors and the fun and good will
which has prevailed during prepa
ration, I'd say that Wednesdays
opening should be very interesting
