IT HAPPENED AT NU One young man with an un usual sense of humor remarked that he thought the funniest thing In the April Fool edition of the "Rag" was the box on the front page concerning the regis tration of activity points by Uni versity juniors. This remark was passed on to the hard-working staff who had done their best to supply humor (for a change). The joke was really on them, however, for the box was the only thing In the paper that was really on the 'up-and-up.' Jun Iro men with activity points ARE supposed to notify the Innocents, according to Rob Raun, president. LoUloy (Learns Lessom (From (Producer's (Fiasco Think for Yourself . . Much national comment hat been voiced in regard to a movie soon to be released by 7Wn tieth Century Fox. The picture "Take Care of My Little Girl" is scheduled for release in July.

The proposed amendment to the Ag Exec board constitution that would alter the present method of choosing representatives to in clude delegates, Ag campus or ganizations as well as other dele gates, will be under fire. A panel of four student leaders will present their views briefly. The panel members are: Eleanor Erickson, Alice Anderson, Jerry Johnson and Carl Gerwick. The recently proposed change in student representation would allow each Ag campus organiza tion meeting certain requirements a delegate to the Ag governing body. Proportional women repre sentation is expected. Supporters of this new plan feel that something should be done to bring about closer unity and better spirit among Ag stu dents. The discussion is fourth in a se ries sponsored by the Ag Union. Wib Gass and Norm Swanson are co-chairmen of the events.

By Jane Randall Men tugged at their white starched collars. Women rustled in their taffetas. Children fidg eted restlessly. People came streaming end less down the aisles. "When are the little men go ing to come out?" squeaked one youngster, looking first at the big stage and then at his mother. "Be patient, LeRoy," hushed the half - attentive parent. "It should be any minute now." She was right. Suddenly everything was inky Diackness. With equal swiftness. a spotlight's rays slashed the opaqueness. Its beam came to focus on a relatively unimpor tant-looking box. It was a rec tangular affair, on the squarish side, with nondescript - looking curtains hiding its contents from the audience. Show Begins Those pieces of cloth didn't hide anything for very long. In an instant, they flew back, re vealing a miniature backdrop, perfect in every detail. The lines, shading and coloring were re markably accurate. Then LeRoys "little men," the puppets, appeared. They, like the panorama behind them, looked like their creator had spent a great deal of time and had gone to considerable trouble to make their costumes take on the exact effect he desired. The acting commenced. The children were entranced by the true-to-life quality involved. For the adults, the illusion of reality was broken only by scene changes. Yet, in spite of these qualities, the audience didn't accept the performance as anything really stupendous. They clapped polite ly between acts. They weren't restraining themselves. Maybe the producer was dis gusted with their reaction. We don't know. Just the same, the little mar ionette show was soon forgotten. Little LeRoy went on about play ing with his toyys as though he had neveh seen what had gone on in the little box that night. Years Pass Several years passed. One day, news came to the wit nessse of that performance that its producer had received nation wide acclaim honor after honor. "Unbelievable!" was the excla mation that topped the crests of thought among many of those people. Down deep, however, they all shared the same senti ments. They were glad they had seen the puppets, even though they hadn't cared to much for them at the time. In fact, some of them conde scended by openly broadcasting that they were very proud to say they had seen them. Reviewers and critics who had seen the performance wrote sur prisingly accurate accounts of what they had seen so many years ago. They were indeed valuable because they represent ed impressions of some of the producer's earlier work. Amidst the mental uproar, the incident made a few people stop and think. It was just like school, in a way, they thought. Those people, some of them parents, told their children about it, thinking they could benefit from it. LeRoy was one of them. Parent Remembers "Remember that puppet show you saw, LeRoy? his mother asked one day. "Well, kind of," the boy disin terestedly responded. "W hat about it?" "That little show was like one of your textbooks, in a way," the parent returned, hoping to arouse a little interest. "Textbooks? Those boring things?" the child scoffed. "You don't like them, do you?" the eldei supplied. "No." "Some people didn't exactly like the puppet show when it was here either." "I don't see what that has to do with it," LeLRoy commented, still 'disinterested. "Just this. People weren't too impressed with it, but yet when it started to receoive attention, they started remembering little things about it. Some of them wrote papers about it.",' "I know," the boy persisted, "but I still dont see it." The Pay Off The mother continued, "School work, although it seems boring at the time, and seems senseless, pays off in the end. The same way with textbooks, Their cov ers are drab, nonedescript, but tneir lacts are accurate just like the curtains and background for the marionette performance." "I'm beginning to see what you mean, but not quite all of it." "The book's author, like the producer, selects his materials carefully and goes to a great deal of time and trouble to make them exact in every detail the same was true with the puppets.' "I didn't know that!" exclaimed the enlightened youngster. "I wouldnt blame some authors for getting disgusted with me when I get bored with what they've written." LeRoy's Lesson "Let it be a lesson to vou. then," suggested the parent. "Even though your math and English may seem useless to you now, there will come a tima when you'll have the chance to apply them. Then you'll be glad you learned all you did just like those critics and reviewers who are delving into their memories for those articles they've been writing." "I've gotta get to school.' said the youngster, fumbling hurried ly with his coat. In a moment he was out the door and off to tell his friends of the new discovery he had just made. "But LeRoy! You forgot your books " his mother's voice trailed off in the distance. Plays by Laboratory Theater Feature Arena Production in high school, you will probably be a successs in college.

Tali Corn Rosenlof to Head Education Group Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, registrar, and director of admissions at the University, was elected president of the North-Central Association of secondary Schools last Satur day at a Chicago convention. The association is the largest accrediting group in the United States. Approximately 3,100 high schools and over 300 colleges have membership in the organization. Schools in 19 North Central states belong to the group. This terri tory extends from North Carolina to New Mexico and from South Dakota to Oklahoma. Dr. Rosenlof previously held "The world is a stage and every player has a part." Have you ever wanted to be in a play? but for some reason or another you never have been in one. Well here's a chance to participate in a play that requires no rehearsal on your part. I'm speaking of the two one-act plays that will be presented in the arena theater Friday and Saturday nights. You, the audience, with your imagina tion build the scenery, open and close the doors, live and breath right along with the actors.

This play should be of particular enjoy ment to girls that have had trouble with parents concerning attendance to' the University. The story is of a young girl who wants to leave home to attend college but her mother objects. She is afraid that her daughter has other reasons Cwhich include a mar ried man) for wanting to go away.

Presented by Lab Theater The plays are being presented in connection with the Labratory Theater. It has already put on four plays and before the semes ter is over will have done 27 one act plays. The directors of the individual plays are University students taking Speech 102, a course in directing, taught by Dallas S. Williams. "Sit Down to Supper," the first plays the daughter and Martha Picard who plays the rebelious mother. The scenes between the mother and daughter are very in tense and for that reason should be good. Pat Farley and Nancy Dark play the younger sisters. I might add that the play original ly called for a boy, but because of the shortage of men or boys, Nancy Dark is substituting (this should be interesting.)
