Robert Broom
Will Address
Convo Monday
Dr. Robert Broom, curator of
fossils at Transvall museum at
Pretoria, South Africa, and dis
coverer of numerous skulls of ape
men in South Africa, will speak
at 11 a. m. Monday, April 11, in
Love Library auditorium, in a
convocation sponsored by the mu
seum and the University Research
council.
Dr. Eroom's continued discov
ery of more material lends weight
to his contentions that in Africa
there existed a line of pre-men
amounting to a whole branch of
the human family. He holds that
these ape-men were small-brained
humans on their way to becoming
the large-brained creatures that is
man himself.
In 1924 Dr. Bloom found a skull
of an ape-like thing that was
nearer to man than any of the liv
ing apes. Dr. Broom says that this
started a new epoch in paleontol
ogy comparable to that launched
by Columbus as far as modern
man was concerned.

comedy is slated for presena
Farcical in nature,
the laugh-
play deals with a family of eccen
trics, continually bothered by in
dividual quirks. "Director Dallas
Williams has termed the play
"very amusing."
On the eve of production, the
leads of the show have been ques
tioned as to their impressions of
their respective roles. Nanci Har
rison, portraying the daughter, Jo,
commented :
"I PLAY the role of a girl who,
when not acting, is completely un
affected and naive. She blurts out
words without thinking of their
eonnotative meaning."
Playing the role of Adrian
Marsh, Tom Stimfig stated, "As
Adrian, I find two girls of a type
one doesn't find often. Their sweet
innocence and extreme naivety
makes them definitely different
than the average type of girl. In
my opinion, the play points fun
at the whole idea of sex."
ENACTING the party of Sally,
the other naive daughter, Helen
Prince continued, "Sally is a prac
tical, but thoughtless, girl, Her
main trouble is that she doesn't
think before she acts. Her eccen
tricity lies in her habit to be too
impetuous. Her moods go from ex
treme to extreme, being at times
very active, and at other times
lazy."
Jack Norman plays the Rever
end Mr. Bagshott. About his role,
Norman stated, "It is a strange ex
perience indeed enacting the part
of a passionate parson. I play the
part of a moon-eyed minister who
is in love against his will. I find
myself in love with a girl I had
never thought about and I set out
in a determined and inexperienced
way to do something about it."
Others in the cast of eccentrics,
include John Woodin as the for
getful Reverend Richard Jarrow,
Liz Fullaway as his hopelessly in
efficient wife. Emma, and Twila
Walker as Mrs. Webb.
