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. , j
The contest for Honorary Pro-'
ducers will also be revived this
year. The office of Honorary Pro-
Tryouts Underway

and Madrigal Singers will be held

Dr. Arthur E. Westbrook an
nounced
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.

This year's squad includes two
coeds, Jo Berry and Judy Wiebe.
They were chosen last spring
from about 75 applicants by an
advisory board composed of six
students and three faculty mem
bers. Last year's cheerleaders
were all males.
Besides Devries and Misses
Berry and Wiebe, the squad in

Jake Geier, sponsor of the
cheerleaders, declares that the
three alternates should be given
as much experience at leading
yells as possible.
"I anticipate terrific spirit for
football this fall,' Geier said,
"and if so, the alternates will j
help lead cheers at the games." j
New red and cream uniforms

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 burzers. 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.

University Alumni
Receive Awards
Five University alumni received
Distinguished Service awards at
commencement exercises last
June. The recipients were hon
ored for service to the University
and in professional and public
life.
Persons honored were L .R.
Blanchard, Rochester, New York,
executive editor of the Gennett
Group of papers; Percy C.
Spencer, New York City, presi
dent of Sinclair Oil Company;
Mary Ann Dokahr, Washington,
D. C, home economist for the
United States Department of Agriculture.
Sugar compan; and Samuel C.
Waugh, Lincoln, past chairman
of the alumni finance committee. 1
"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 bold his
breath and think, "Here comes
the third degree!" Usually it's j
like trying to find a needle in j
a haystack remembering the
individual in question. One can j
give up by saying the name
sounds famiKar, 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 cut of it with a life -long
buddy.
But hold it! The story isnt
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.
Then hell think about the fra
ternity or sorority he's joined, of
all the wonderful friends he's
made.
Smiling triumphantly, hell
think, "Gee I'm sure glad I'm
one of that swell bunch!"
