Sffjr,?' Memories TEiesne
Frolic Show
TP If : J
By TwiU F. Wslker
Remember when the old opera
houses used to echo with hisses
and cheer for the old time melo
dramas? When the old vaude
ville troupers traveled the cir
cuits? When everybody hummed
that Irving Berlin classic "Over
There?"
Remember the days of silent
pictures and "chestless" girls, of
hip flasks and a hip swinging
dance they called the Charleston?
Then there were the thirties
they called them "depression
torn," but they too left their
stamp in the entertainment world
with characters like W. C. Fields
and Mae West.
And then Pearl Harbor and a
world that sang in spite of its
heartbreak. Songs like "Coming
in on a Wing and a Prayer," or
"When the Lights Go on Again
All Over the World."
And then the lights came on
again and thep put our enter
tainment in front of a camera
and now we call it television.

Miss Allen reigned over half-time ceremonies as the Nebraska

RALLY, RALLY! Members of the Sig Ep band paraded through
the Union and into the crib after the parade Saturday. Dressed out
in all their finery are all these "females" and males. Their parade
entry was a "corny" band. Students in the crib at the time got a
laugh out of the antics of the band and of the efforts of one of the
members to retrieve a hydrogen filled balloon which had floated
to the ceiling.

"Footlight Frolics of 1950" or

written by Gaylord Marr. This
pocket edition was presented in
March by Alpha Epsilon Rho,
national honorary radio frater

April the show was expanded to
a production that ran for almost
three hours. At that time it bore
the title "I Can Almost Hear It

Union before a student and fac

led to a repeat performance a
week later.
This summer Marr and some

and, with a lot of talent and a
great deal of faith in "their

Chooses 'Wheels'
A new plan for selecting stu
dents from Who's Who in Amer
ican Colleges and Universities
has been adopted by East Central
State college, Ada, Okla.
The plan, submitted by the
student council and approved by
the faculty senate and the presi
dent of the college, is that selec
tion should be made objectively
by giving each student credit for
outstanding work, both scholastic
and extra-curricular.
Under the new system points
are given for outstanding
achievement. The junior and sen
ior students having a grade aver
age of 3.0 or higher who accumu
late the highest number of points
automatically become East Cen
tral's selections for Who's Who.
Formerly, selection was made
entirely by faculty members.
Cvclones Not
Over-Confident
Just in case some Iowa State
fans might be worried about the
Cyclone football squad under
estimating Kansas State those
fans can relax.
Sharply inscribed in the minds
of every player and every coach
is the vow Kansas State made
after losing a 25-21 game to the
Cyclones last year. The Wildcats
at that time spoke of the 1950
season in this manner:
"This (the Iowa State) is one
game we are going to win."
Marr Writes
"Footlight Frolics of 1950" is
written and directed by Gaylord
Marr, a graduate student at the
University. Music for the produc
tion was composed and arranged
by Robert Vollmer, also a Uni
versity student All members of
the cast are University students
who are trying their wings in the
entertainment world.
The theme of the entire pro
duction is the history of the
show business from the days of
the melodrama to present-day
television. There is a mixture of
comedy and drama that brings
back the nostalgia that always
goes with memories. The older
members of the audience will
remember when, and the younger
generation - will see the things
they've heard their dads and
mothers talk about.
Featured members of the cast
ill be interviewed Nov. 9 on
the program staff breakfast at
9:30 a.m. on KOLN.
We urge you to be sure and
see "Footlight Frolics of 1950."
When you do, you're sure to walk
out saying "I remember when."

The Missouri Basin develop'
ment program places on the
shoulders of agricultural exten
sion service people another big
job of helping farm people, Glad
win Young said Thursday.
The chairman of the Missouri
Basin Inter-Agency committee
and author of the Young Plan ad
dressed University Ag Extension
service workers attending their
annual conference here. Young
paid tribute to the county agents
and state extension workers "for
keeping farm people abreast of
the rapidly advancing tech
nologies of agriculture."
Farmers and ranchers in the
Missouri Basin, he 6aid, are the
ones who are going to make use
of the lion's share of develop
ments in erosion control, flood
control, irrigation, electric power
and navigation that are a part
of the program.
Young Predicts
Young predicted that electric
energy used on farms and
ranches In the basin will equal
almost 80 percent of the total
output from hydro-electric gen
erators now planned for the Mis
souri isasin.
"Nowhere in the World," he
declared, "are farm people so
well equipped with the know
how and initiative it takes to
make efficient and productive
use of these new opportunities."
Prof. Arthur Mauch. a Michi
gan State college economist, told
the extension workers that the
county agent msut always be
ready to discuss controversial is
sues. "Times hame changed," said
Professor Mauch. "The people no
longer threaten county agents
with dire consequences for dis
cussing public problems more
likely the reverse is true.
Extension Work
"It is the job of the extension
worker," he continued, "to teach
people how to find the essential
facts, hov to analyze them, how
to evaluate them and how to
draw logical conclusions from the
facts. If people are given the
rignt toois and a working knowl
edge of their use they will be
able to make wiser decisions even
though the situation is a change
ing one."
Agricultural extension work
ers, he concluded, "have com
mitted themselves to an im
portant and difficult ask in the
field of public policy education
Never have extension workers
faced a greater and more stimu
lating challenge."
Dr. Mauch led a question and
answer period on public policy
education during the afternoon.
