Outstanding Work . . .
The work of one outstanding university professor,
Robert P. Crawford, has recently been ranked with the
works of such men as President Conant of Harvard, John
Dewey, James Robinson, Paul de Kriuf, and Prof. C. Spear
man of the University of London.
Prof. Crawford's book, "Think for Yourself" has been
ranked by Alex Osborn in his book, "Your Creative Power",
as among the 14 books contributing a great deal to the sub
ject of creative thought. The above mentioned men are in
cluded in the list of 14. Osborn wrote the book, in which he
lauds Crawford's efforts, after ten years of research in the
field of creative thought.
Osborn mentions Professor Crawford's course in crea
tive thinking at the university as probably the first of its
kind ever established. It was established here in 1931.
Professor Crawford, who has been with the university
since 1917, has done much through his course to encourage
students in the field of creative thinking. However, not only
students have taken advantage of this unique course.
People from countries all over the world have enrolled in
the course by correspondence and are enrolled in it now.

Vet Notice
No books or supplies for the
current semester will be issued
to veterans at government ex
pense after Friday, Dee. 10,
1948.
Because of the time involved
in gathering together a 1 1
charges from the several stores
for such books and supplies,
which in turn causes a delay
in billing the Veterans Admin
istration and in being reim
bursed therefor, the Univer
sity has found it necessary to
establish this deadline.
Any authorized books which
are now on order and which,
therefore might not be avail
able at the bookstores until
after Dec. 10, may be obtained
after that date provided the
veterans who are authorized
to obtain such books report to
the store concerned before
Dec. 10 and si?n a charge ticket
in advance. The store may then
issue a duebill or the equiva
lent, thus enabling the vet
eran to pick up his book after
the official expiration date.
Veterans who will graduate
at the end of the present
semester should retain their
purchase authorizations after
Dec. 10 for the purpose of
renting caps and gowns for the
mid-year commencement ex
ercises. Such purchase author
izations may not be used, how
ever, by graduating veterans
to obtain books or supplies
after Dec. 10.

Christmas vacation is almost upon us. The yule-tide season is close
at hand. Most of us are anticipating pleasant days during the brief
vacation period. Yes, the vacation is brief but can't it be arranged
more conveniently for the faculty and the student body? As I under
stand, vacation is to begin Wednesday, Dec. 22 at 8 a. m. I suggest that
the vacation should commence Dec. 18, Saturday noon for the three
following reasons:
1. Students and faculty who have many miles to travel would be
able to arrive home a few days prior to Christmas Day. As now
planned, many will have to crowd upon the buses and trains
and planes that most likely will be already crowded by Christ
mas Holiday travelers. Why not give the student body and the
faculty a head-start upon the usual Christmas Holiday traveler?
This arrangement would be more convenient and enjoyable.
2. Why chop up the school week? I see no great need for two days
of school in one week and four days of school in another week.
End the vacation Monday, Jan. 3, at 8 a.m. This would not
cause any great inconvenience.
3 Lastly, by having a full week after vacation it will give the stu
dent body a full two and one half weeks to review for the finals.
Let's have a better arranged or planned Christmas vacation that
would be more convenient to the faculty and the student body.
Sincerely yours,

Gay lord Marr, script writer and
actor on both stage and radio. Gay
wrote all the Midcountry scripts
last year. As radio listeners will
remember, Midcountry was a dra
matic show taken from stories in
Prairie Schooner magazine. While
most of the Midcountry series was
adapted from the Prairie Schooner,
original scripts chiefly of a holi
day spirit were written for the
show. Among these were "tang
Journey." a dramatic monologue;
"Flowers for the Madonna," a
Christmas story, and "Preview."
One of his shows, "An American
Creed," was thought so commend
able by the Freedom Train offi
cials when they were in Lincoln,
that they played a transcription
of it at the Freedom Train itself.
. . . BY EARL KATZ
Fredrich Schiller was a pro
fessor of history at the University
of Jena, Germany, back in the
18th century. The history pro
fessor became fascinated with the
story of Mary, Queen of Scots. As
he became more absorbed in this
famous story he decided to write
about it. Little more than a year
later the tragedy of Mary, Queen
of Scots, was presented at the
Weimar theatre in Germany to a
select audience. It has grown since
then to be one of the most endur
ing masterpieces of tragedy ever
to be presented on the stage.

Correction on last week's item
about radio-printed newspapers:
the radio-printed newspaper is
not under the auspices of televi
sion. It is in a new field of its
own called "facsimile." It works
on the same principle as the tele
type machine, but differs in many
respects. The "facsimile" machine
prints pictures, graphs and maps
and is much faster than telegraph
printers. It has a speed record of
300 words of single spaced type
written copy per minute!

Gay, at present, is finishing an
adaptation of Nathaniel Haw
thorne's ' Scarlet Letter."
Poor Gay has been having a try
ing time this year in Authors of
the Ages productions. As an actor,
he has died three times this year.
In Wuthering Heights he died,
frozen to death on his lover's
grave; in Ivanhoe, he perished in
the flames of his castle; and in
last week's Authors of the Ages
production, "John Henry, Steel
Drivin' Man," he died of exhaus
tion. Somehow, however. Gay sur
vived these catastrophes to be
come our deserving selection for
Star of the Week.
