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

Much national comment hat been voiced in

Variety, the show business weekly, says the
show exposes certain evils of the college fraternity
system. Featured in the film will be Jeanne Crain,

To Give Views
On Amendment
Dr. Ephriam Hixson will serve
as moderator as Ag students dis
cuss the Ag council proposal
scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today.
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.

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.

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

but for some reason or another

here's a chance to participate in

on your part. I'm speaking of
the two one-act plays that will

Friday and Saturday nights. You,

Psychological Drama
The other play is a psycholog

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

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

of the shortage of men or boys,
