The fraternity originated with Nebraska students but hopes to extend its membership to include NROTC cadets all over the country. JtlliL by Frank Jacobs Campus play-f oers Sunday eve ning awoke to the realization that a gifted playwright and talented showman wras in their midists and proving his talents. Gay Marr, author, designer, and director of Skylone Scandals," the Nebraska Masquers revue, Is one of the true veterans of local drama. A Teachers College senior from Seward, Marr is one of those rare individuals who talks about some thing and then does it Few peo ple viewing the iunday revue realized that not only the acting, but the costumes, settings, and makeup were supervised by Marr. To Marr, however ,it was noth ing new as he probably has ac complished more in the creative field than any student now at tending classes. Marr's name first made head lines in 1945 as a freshman when he won the Nebraska Masquer's Outstanding Frosh award for per formances in the University The ater. His next award was pre sented by the Circlet Theater. The local municipal theater judged him the "outstanding actor" of the 1947 season for his enacting of Joe Ferguson in "The Male AnimaL" Not contented just working In theater, Marr devoted some of his time to campus radio and so shared the trophy of Alpha Ep silon Rho, radio honorary, for 1 948's most outstanding writer for the airwaves. Last year, he turned in a weekly 15 minute radio Ak-Sar-Bcii Rules Given Saturday All animals reserved for the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben shownnanship contest March 26 are ready. Those students signed up as showmen and others wishing to show have been asked to be at the horse barn Saturday at 1:30 p. m. Animal assignments and in structions from 'division superin tendents as to rules and regula tions will be given at that time. The contest will include show ing of beef cattle, sheep, hogs and horses. Judging will be on the basis of training and grooming re flected in the animal rather than on its natural characteristics. Mel Beerman, a widely-knowTn trick roper, will be featured at the show. v adaptation for the campus show, '"Mid-Country.'' All of the above awards, how ever, were topped by Marr's win ning of the Purple Masque, an nually bestowed at the Nebraska Masquer's spring banquet to the person or person's ranking at the very top in UN dramatics. At present, Marr is the only Purple Masquer on campus. Marr has had parts in over a dozen University and Experimen tal Theater productions, and five Circlet Theater shows. He has also seen two of his own original, "New Tomorrow and "Born Bad," one-act plays produced by he Experimental Theater. At present, he is finishing up the 'inal details of "Skline Scandals" nd preparing a new three act play which he expects to have done in the near future. Oh yes, Marr also attends classes. If anyone knows of any present- day student who has accomplished more in the fields of cerative drama, this writer would appre ciate hearing about it. A FOR A REAL SATURDAY NITE!
