Something Borrowed
(There comes that time in every editor's life, usually at
the conclusion of a particularly harrowing week, when he
feels an urge to voice to the world his troubles. That time
has come and the following editorial does the job for us. As
nearly as we can ascertain, it first appeared in the "Purple
and White," weekly newspaper of Millsaps College in Mis
sissippi.) Professors can sit crosslegged on the top of a desk ;
students without down slips can let down their guard; stu
dent organization presidents can fraternize with the masses.
Only an editor is required to be Pontifical always.
Only an editor has to grope blindly along, trying to put
happens, so it is taken for granted that he already knows it,
and nobody ever tells him anything; only an editor is sup
posed to keep an open mind always, and at the same time
make snap decisions for each politicial impasse; only an
editor is required to keep his nose o,ut of politics, mean
while keeping tab on the strength of each separate line-up.
Professors have their apple-polishers who ask questions
after class; students get their six weeks reports; student
organization presidents hear complaints and committee re
ports. Only an editor has to guess.
Only an editor has to grope blindly along, trying put
out a paper for a student body who will talk about it only
when he isn't around; who will never tell him what they
like or don't like; who will squawk audibly only when they
are mortally and irreparably wounded; who never thank
him when he says anything nice about them; who have to
be tracked down, cornered, and beaten insensible before
they will so much as give him a news lead.
Professors have the satisfaction of seeing their teachings
put into practice; high-average students are an inspiration
to their successors; student organization presidents can
point with pride at year's end to long rows of a enlevements
Only an editor never accomplishes anything.
Only an editor has to endure the spectacle of 999 of his
1,000 readers, each and every day, turning immediately
upon receipt of the paper to the society column, ignoring
everything else in the issue; to find the layouts on which
he and his staff have spent hours of work completely un
appreciated; to see his editorial campaigns, which are his
only method of criticism of his school and of society, get
coldly, coldly ignored.
Professors get to sit on the stage; high-average stu
dents can get away with cutting classes; student organiza
tion presidents get to introduce visitors.
Only an editor is damnfooi enough not to want to trade
places with any of them.

We were engaging In fond reminiscences of the
days when University Theatre was a by-word at
Nebraska. Humorous and sentimental thoughts
kept entering our mind of those rare personages,
Marybelle Hitchcock, the pride and joy ot Theta;
ATO's protege, George Blackstone; H. Alice Howell,
1937's leading lady, and many other unforgettable
faces which have appeared on Temple's old rickety
stage and made it look practically new.
Hoping perhaps we might conjure up a few
ghosts, we headed toward Temple last night. We
were wandering about looking for a stage entrance
when Jean Matteson appeared out of nowhere and
asked us to step into this room for a minute. Fully
on our guard and extremely suspicious, we fol
lowed her and were just about to protest that we
weren't on the property committee when we found
some pins in our mouth and a curtain in our
hand which needed shortening. After finishing our
job we managed to escape, but not without getting
the impression that something was going on and
the back stage crews were definitely in on it
Search for Ghosts.
We had no sooner stepped out into the wings
to resume our search for ghosts when a horrible
scream rent the air and we jumped around to
find Marthclla Holcomb sprawled unconscious on
the floor. Hesitating as to whether to run over
ahd help her or to get the h out of here, we
stood gazing helplessly while Sailor Larry Gilling
and Mildred McAdams and Sally Whiteman came
into view, completely ignored poor Marthella and
centered their attention on a table which seemed
to be having convulsions in the middle of the
room. Then it happened! The ghost which we had
been looking for glided right onto the stage in
front of our eyes!
We made a leap for the back stairs to find the
closet exit and ran smack dab into an air corps
corporal who was calmly descending the stairs,
play book opened in one hand, notebook in the
other, apparently studying both, and humming
"Always" under his breath at the same time. He
suddenly dropped everything and dashed off, dis
appearing through a curtain from which agonized
complaints about ventriloquists and practical jokes
were issuing. We tapped Gloria Beaumont on the
shoulder and asked who the fly boy was.
"You don't know Hank?" was the retort. No, we
didn't know Hank, so she informed us that he was
Howard Henry, the male lead in "Blythe Spirit,"
next Uni Theatre production, He was stationed
at the base, but was going to school and partici
pating in theatre activities. He was with the
Cleveland Playhouse before landing in the army
and he was GOOD! That was the end of our
conversation as Gloria had to finish directing the
construction of the flats for the opening perform
ance. "
Only Practice.
Now that we knew it was just a play practice
we had walked into and nothing to be alarmed
about, we sat down in an out-of-the-way corner
and watched. About the time we were getting
interested and excited as to the outcome of this
hilarious story, Dallas Williams came up to the
stage, collected his cast and everyone trouped over
to the Clover Leaf cafe for some coffee leaving
us to dream about our ghosts in solitude.
The ghosts had taken on new shape by this time,
though. We were firmly convinced that Ruth
Whiteman, Betty Russell, Larry Gilling and "Hank"
Henry would soon take their places among the
unforgettable faces of the University Players. In
fact the whole cast, stage crew and the director
are among the few on this campus who really de
serve a medaL

Dr. D. Worchester Speaks

Dr. D. A. Worcester of the uni
versity, appearing as the United
States representative, was a
speaker at the recent meeting of
the French society for the ad
vancement of Science in Paris.

Vets Want Plain
Colors in Ci vilian
Suits-No Plaiils
University veterans have de
cided opinions as to what they
want in civilian clothes, accord
ing to a recent poll.
The majority of them are of the
conservaUve type, as their pref
erence in clothes seems to center
around plain colors. Those who
were in the army want plain blue
suits, those from the navy want
brown, and grey is the middle for
both.
Newest fad at Syracuse Univer
sity is blowing bubbles which are
composed of a prepared glycerin
solution. Best results are obtained
by dipping the ring into the liquid
and then waving it in the air.
