"Communism is a general
most people readily admit that
they lack a clear definition of
what they mean when they use
the term," said Dr. Otto Heiberg,

Actors Get in 'Spirit9
Of Supernatural Play
. . . In 6Bul Nol Goodbye'
BY FRANK JACOBS
Campus actors were literally in
the spirit of things as the Uni
versity theater presented their
version of the farcical ghost
comedy, "But Not Goodbye," Fri
day evening. The George Seaton
comedy was performed on the
Nebraska Weslcyan Plainsman
stage.
The comedy was full of rich
character roles and offered a va
riety of interpretations, most of
them successful.
Probably the finest lead per
formances of the year was turned
in by Clare Denton as the spright
ly young ghost, Benjamin Griggs.
Denton's immediate appearance
livened up the stage and his pres
ence saved many a scene from
dragging, his lively actions being
those of a ghost through and
through.
AS THE perpetually anguished
Sam Griggs, Ed Weisenreder dis
played the fatherly frustration
needed in the part of the family's
breadwinner. His worried prob
lems in his transition from the
realm of the realistic to the world
of the supernatural provided a
clear balance to Denton's bright
actions.
In the remaining leading part,
Mary Siller displayed the proper

Two Ag college staff members
will attend a horticultural meet

and Wednesday of this week. They
are Dr. C. C. Wiggans and Dr.
H. O. Werner.
Representatives from Missouri,
Kansas and Iowa will also attend
the meet. Research achievements
and policies of coordination will
be discussed.
Foundation's
'First Glance'
Off the Press
The first glance at the Stu
dent Foundation Bulletin, "First
Glance," took place Saturday as
the annual publication for high
school students rolled off the
press.
The 38-page magazine is a com
plete picture of the University,
including pages on campus re
ligious groups, UNESCO, Student
Council, Kosmet Klub, publica
tions, cheers, sports, intramurals,
Ag college, housing, registration
procedure, Union, Ivy Day, Home
coming and other campus groups
and events.
Two thousand copies of the
Bulletin will be sent to high
schools all over the state. "First
Glance" is one of the main Foun
dation contacts with prep students
carried on through publications.
The Bulletin was edited by
Nancy Porter. She was assisted
by Dick Kuska, associate editor;
and Leon Pfeiffer, business man
ager. A staff of Student Foun
dation publications members as
sisted on the booklet.

a skit written, produced and di

in the skit were Bill Wiseman,

Harrington and Margaret Dutton.
motherly affection as Amy Griggs.
Ordinarily a back-stage crew
manager, Miss Sigler, in her first
acting role, definitely reminded
the audience of the good, grey
mother-type and, except for some
difficulty in line-punching, clear
ly showed the "mother-instinct."
Ced Hartman and Dewey Gan
zel fared the best in the minor
roles. Hartman, as a true-to-life
"Absent-minded professor," and
Ganzel, as the typically mournful
minister. Reverend Pritchard,
established needed bits of comedy.
DEAN WELLS' caricature of
the part of Uncle Ralph, although
funny (at times, hilarious), seem
ed too much of an exaggeration
for what was needed.
Jim Fafcita and Ann Prefer ef
fectively became the younger
members of the family. Their
performances as son and daugh
ter balanced the antics of some
of the more eccentric parts. At
times, some of Fafeila's exhubcr
ance seemed forced.
Mike Shannahan, improving in
every role, was a clearly-defined
scallawag in his portrayal of the
crooked partner, Tom Carter. Bill
Klamm mastered the role of Dr.
Wilson as he realtistically stepped
into the old physician's shots with
every more.

sentation, a parade through the i
city campus and downtown Lin
coln and typical fair concessions.

festivities will be the annual Cot
ton and Denim week to begin

Ag campus. Again Ag students
and all that attend will appear in
the rural frocks and jeans and
will dance to the music of Jack
Swanson and his orchestra. The
ballroom will be fittingly decor
ated in the Farmers Fair theme
and informality will be the key
note. AT THE DANCE, new Ag roy
alty will be crowned and the
ethereal title of Goddess of Agri
culture will be bestowed upon
some Ag college coed. The roy
alty will be in the person of the
Whisker King, who will be chosen
solely on the basis of the best
growth he cn muster up between
the opening of the contest March
23 and Farmers Fair time.
Men who wish to vie for the
honor must register clean-shaved
in the Ag Union on Wednesday,
March 23 and will be judged
shortly before the dance.
THE FARMER'S parade will be
made up of floats from al! Ag
clubs and organizations and will
stail Saturday morning, April 30.
The parade will proceed through
the city campus, gathering city
slickers as it goes through frater
nity row. On downtown the pa
rade will go, showing Lincoln citi
zens the wares of Ag college and
inviting them to the Fair.
Open houses for all departments
will open Saturday and stay open
all day except during the rodeo.
Displays will be judged and
plaques will be awarded for out
standing exhibits in both the
men's and women's divisions.
IN THE AFTERNOON, the ro
deo will take over the limelight.
Claimed to be even better than
last year's huge success, this
year's rodeo will be the first to
be held in the permanent arena
being constructed. The arena will
be built near the Beef barn.
