anyone but R. Leoncavallo (he
wrote this monstrosity, by the
way.)
Travelling Theater.
Seems this guy Canio and his
wife Nedda have a traveling
theater. They also have two ac
tors, Tonio and Peppe, besides
their own talents. It soon appears
that Peppe doesn't have much to
do except look pretty. She s only

the audience that acton are hu

In the first act, Nedda has a
sharp love scene with Tonio,
whom she figures to be a louse.
(She's right, too.) She tells him
"Thanks, thanks a lot. But no
thanks." Seems she's not inter
ested in any offer he could make.
Love-light.
Not that she's not interested,
as the action later proves. For
she has no sooner used the whip
to get rid of Tonio than her real
love-H'ght appears; Naturally it's
not her husband (in operas, it
never it), but Sijvio, a local play
boy whom she has met before.

tell, because right away they be

laying plans for an extra-cirricu-lar

figures to leave Canio doing the
curtain call alone.
Tonio has been eavesdropping,
and when he catches (as any bright
boy would) what's going on, he
brings Canio to hear the fun.
They arrive just in time to hear
the famous last words, "Tonight,
and forever I shall be thine."
Kinda corny, but what could one

Board Rules
Termination
Of Awgwan
The Awgwan, university humor
magazine, has been discontinued
by order of the Student Publica
tions Board.
In a statement to the university,
the board said, "After careful con
sideration, we have reached the
conclusion that the further publi
cation of the Awgwan was not in
the best interests of the university
community and therefore, we
have decided upon its discon
tinuance." Operating at Loss.
One board member pointed out
that the magazine had operated at
a $500 loss for the current semes
ter and that little interest in the
publication had been shown on
campus. He based this statement
on the fact that theh Awgwan's
subscription list totaled 600 as
compared to the 10,000 student
enrollment.
Arrangements will be made to
refund the remainder of any
yearly subscription in the near
future. The publications board is
working on a refund system at
the present time, it was an
nounced. Dr. David Fellman is chairman
of the Publications board and
other members' voting on the dis
continuance were Prof. Kenneth
Forward, Prof. Harry Bradford
and student members Art Bein
dorrf and Bernice Young.
was talking to. (Canio didn't see
the scoundrel, but he has a plan
of action in mind.) After their
fight, he laments over his having
to go on with the play when his
heart isn't in it.
Odd Accident.
Comes Act II, and the play
within the play. By some odd ac
cident on the part of Leoncavallo,
the play within the play pro
gresses just like the play. Up to
a certain point, that is. Then
Canio gets so carried away that
he starts reading the real riot
act to his wife. He forgets he's
the make-believe husband Pag
liaeci (that's the name of the
opera, remember) and even goes
so far as to stab the unfaithful
one.
Stupid little Nedda, knowing
that she's dying, falls into the
trap as expected. She calls on
Silvio, her lover, to save her, and
thereby lets the cat out -of the
bag instead of dying peacefully.
When Silvio runs forward, Canio
uses the knife again and the stage
manager sends a double call to
Ropers while Canio gives his last
speech and the crowd prepares
to applaud.
Fine little plot, that, and all for
the meager price of 75 cents.
Tickets are on sale at the school
of music and the Union. Three
performances are scheduled for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights.
Flagg and Al Lagman will serve
as assistant business managers.
Dale Novotny and Jack Hill
were selected for the two manag
ing editor positions. Appointed
to serve as news editors were
Jeanne Kerrigan, Norm Leger,
Wally Becker, Sue Golden, and
Pat Jensen.
George Miller was renamed as
sports editor. Genene Jensen was

appointed society editor. Charles
Brim was named as the newag
editor. Keith Jones will continue
to serve as circulation manager.
Experience.
Miss Jenkins was a news editor
for two semesters, and for the past
two semesters has been a manag
ing editor. Van Landingham
served as circulation manager be
fore his appointment to business
manager last spring.
The Publications Board decided
to grant an annual subsidy of $500
to help defray the expenses of the
Prairie Schooner, now in its 21st
year of publication which has
"brought distinction in the world
of letters to the university." The
board also decided to make a $200
grant yearly to the union and $100
yearly to the ag campus union to
be used to purchase records for
their music rooms. The funds
were surpluses from the operation
of student publications.
