With the reopening of the Uni
versity Theatre, students will
have the opportunity to become
familiar with the Theatre and its
work in the field of dramatic art-
Plans, pending for three years,
have been made for the renova
tion of the Temple Theater. Con
struction will begin as soon as the
government allots the steel. This
season, however, the University
has leased the Nebraska Theater
for the presentation of its plays.
The last production given at the
Temple Theatre was in December,
1948. It was then closed down on
the orders of the State Fire Mar
shall and further use of the Tem
ple stage was impossible. Wes
leyan University offered its stage
and facilities permitting the Uni
versity Theatre to complete its
season.
The following year, five
shows were staged and pre
sented at the Nebraska Theater.
Productions given on that stage
Included "Faust" and "The
Glass Menagerie." It was a dif
ficult feat since the cast of each
show was allowed ony one dress
rehearsal on the Nebraska stage.
Stage crews had to work most
of the night before the show,
and actors had to become ac
customed to a new stage.
Last year, as hopes of a new
University Theatre were raised, it
was decided that the season must
be utilized for organizing and re
grouping. "Antigone" and "Caesar
and Cleopatra" were given on the
experimental stage at the Tem
ple building but no play series
was offered. ,
The contest for Honorary Pro
ducers will also be revived this
year. The office of Honorary Pro-
Campus activities are explained
in a devision entitled "Activities
Array." It was edited by Connie
Gordon.

ducer for the University Theatre
was created several years ago by
the Theatre to show its apprecia
tion for the support given it by
campus organizations.
After a close race the first year,
1948, Margy Zellers of Sigma
Kappa and Byron Krasne of Zeta
Beta Tau became Honorary Pro
ducers. Theye were formally pre
sented on the stage of the Temple
Theater.
Virginia Seacrest of Kappa
Delta and Tom Donohoe of
Sigma Chi were victorious in
the race for Honorary Producer
in 1949. Since plays were being
given at the Nebraska Theater,
the opening night of Faust was
marked by their presentation to
the audience.
Since then, the idea of an Hon
orary Producer has become known
all over the United States. Not
wishing to give up the idea merely
because The University Theatre
has no stage of its own, the per
sons involved have again decided
to have Honorary Producers. The
organizations have now begun
their ticket campaigns and the
race is on.
The Honorary Producers for
1951 will be presented at the
opening of the first play,
"Othello." Shakespeare's great
tragedy will be given at the Ne
braska Theater on Oct. 30 and 31.
In December, the University
Theatre will present "Idiot's
Delight" by Robert Sherwood.
The play is light and frothy on
the surface, yet it contains a
strain ' of melancholy which
makes it one of the finest works
by Sherwood, author of "The
Petrified Forest."
The last production of the sea
son will be Elmer Rice's powerful
and dramatic "Street Scene." The
Pulitzer Prize winner will be
given by the University Theatre
in March.

First Debate Squad
Meeting Scheduled
Students interested in
should attend the first
squad meeting Thursday, Sept. 30.
The meeting will start at 7:30
p. m. in the Temple building, ac
cording to Donald Olson, director
of debate. Previous experience is
not necessary.
The University debate team is
divided into two sections, the
freshman squad and the varsity.
Both participate in an active pro
gram in inter-collegiate debates.
Coaches are Olson and Bruce
Kendall.
"I'm so glad to meet you
ah Mary!"
Does this phrase have a familiar
ring to anyone?
No doubt it does, if any of you
can remember back as far as rush
week. The pause, of course, de
notes an active straining for a
peep at the rushee's name tag.
Then the barrage of questions
starts.
"What did you do this sum
mer?" "You went on a vacation?"
"Where did you go?"
"Have a good time?"
"Well, that's good."
After answering these queries
until both rushee and active are
blue in the face, the old home
town business starts.
"Do you know?"
That makes anyone hold his
breath and think, "Here comes
the third degree!" Usually it's
like trying to find a needle in
a haystack remembering the
individual in question. One can
give up by saying the name
sounds famih'ar, that they
"know of the person and leave
it at that. Or, if the subject
under discussion is familiar, it
is sometimes possible to strike
up an interesting discussion and
come out of it with a life-long
buddy.
After rushing is over, pledges
are usually in a fog as to which
active is which or what. Of course
the actives, having learned the
names beforehand, don't think of
introducing themselves.,
During the lapse between in
formal pledging and the begin
ning of school the actives most
generally make a point of show
ing the new pledges a perfectly
wonderful time. They also seem
to be very handy at any time
for help or advice. They encour
age the new additions to come
over to the house anytime.
But wait there are methods at
work behind this! Read on!
When the pledge meetings con
vene and reassemble with marked
regularity, the picture changes
entirely. It is then that the
pledge realizes why he or she
has been treated so cordially.
Before school begins, house
and freshman pledges alike find
great sport in answering the
phone, receiving callers and
buzzing the buzzers. However,
when it comes out that there is
a penalty tacked on when these
tasks are overlooked, enthusi
asm wanes.
The little "you'll see" whis
pers and the pledge-trainer tac
tics are confirmed completely
at that first pledge meeting.
To say the least, it satisfies the
wonderings of many a new
pledge's mind.
When rules are publicized
standing for actives, opening doors
for them, speaking to them on
campus, lighting their cigarets at
dinner, keeping study hours, mak
ing activity points, abiding by
house regulations, earning honor
points, getting acquainted with
the demerit or black mark system
and coming over for house duties
the Door pledge feels swamped
and somewhat depressed. Who
wouldn't, after all that and then
some?
However, it takes them scarcely
a week to get adjusted and into
the house routine. It may seem
like work at the time. It may be
an enormous pill to swallow at
first. But by the time the fra
ternity' or sorority average is
made and pledge tests aver and
done with, the pledge really feels
primed for initiation.
But hold it! The story isn't
over yet! After all this there
are "work days." Some frater
nities and sororities have their
own names for these occasions,
but for all general purposes, this
title will suffice.
Sometimes these little "gems"
are mixed in with early pledg
ing days. Sometimes they come
after all the other preliminaries
are over.
At last, when initiation time
comes up after what seems like
a century to most pledges there
seems to be a lot more attached
to that active pin than a gold
chain and a guard.
The pin may startle its new
wearer at first. But when the
new initiate looks down at it,
many memories will come to
mind. i
Then he'll think about the fra-l
ternity or sorority he's joined, of
an me wonderful mends he's
made.
Smiling triumphantly, hell
think, "Gee I'm sure glad I'm
one of that swell bunch!"
