Once you catch an ad man
ager the ad is as good as gold.
Managers like to sell to the di
rectory because they get a copy
of the book. For purely busi
ness reasons of course they
seem anxious to have the ad
dress of every student on cam
pus. Of course the advertiser
can still furnish a rut for his
ad that was three times as big
as the ad he ordered in which
case he may find only half of it
in the directory. Or he may
want it set up in a way that is
impossible from a printing
standpoint. But the ads were
all sold at last. Nothing re
mained but to have a proof of
the ad pulled and begin anew

The cards filled out by the

they have difficulty in turning

Staff Writer
On a short trip through the
Crib, singing, whistling, and hum
ming of tunes that had been pre
sented in a little more professional
manner in the Biggest Show of

heard.
This sudden outgrowth of mus

caused quite an impression on an
those who attended.
Those who were rendering
their versions of the songs were
quizzed as to what they thought

ions seemed to have one thing

Gary Sherman, when asked
what he thought of the show,

trains, and leaving two or three
nours aner a concert.
When asked how she got her
"break" to begin her career.
she replied. "I didn't have what
you could call a break. I don't
think that any of the successful
people in the entertainment
world had one, and I think that
the break is highly over-rated.
The road to success is traveled
by preparing oneself for roles
of all types to be ready for op
portunities that do come along.
Miss Cummings participated in
a nation wide contest held in New j
York. She placed third, and)
barely missed appearing at the
Metropolitan Opea
t ,
r wnen
only
two girls were selected.
"The publicity and encourage
ment I received after appearing
in the contest was enough to
make me stay in New York. My
next chance came as a result of
'pounding the pavements' to hun
dreds of auditions, and I got a
role as featured singer a; the
Radio City Music HalV' she said
the
schedule was very hard with five
aviiD iuiiiiimiKa aaiu moi
shows daily for 67 weeks.
Her next big role came when
she appeared on the "Telephone
Hour" radio company. After her
first performance on the pro
gram she was offered a part in
the City Center Opera in New
York.
Miss Cummings said that she
would like very much to talk to
University students that were
interested In making a career
in music. "Many students don't
realize that for every minute of
glamor behind the footlights,
there arc years of hard work
Decorations
...In Spite Of Polio
"There will be house decorations
!at the NU campus during nome-
comlng," said Don Noble, Innocent
society president.
The house decorations will be
lacking at some houses because
of their donation to the polio
fund, he said, but many of the
houses are planning to have a
display along with giving to the
polio fund.
Points which will be used in
judging the decorations will be
size, originality, movement and
the centering of the theme around
the game of the Week and wel
come to alumni. Judging will be
done Friday evening immediately
following the rally.
Winners of the two divisions
of the house displays will 'be
awarded the traveling trophy by
the presidents of Innocents at
the homecoming dance. Last
years winners are for the fra
ternities, Sigma Chi and for the
sororities, Alpha Xi. Delta.
The regulations governing the
decorations set a limit of $50 ex
penditures for the displays and a
deadline of 5 p.m. Friday night for
completion of the entries.

and effort. Many prospective
artists don't realize that they
can make just as great a con
tribution to themselves and cul
ture if they don't try to gain
national recognition, but strive
for success in their home area."
Miss Cummings noted that there
is no way to become a success in
the entertainment world without
much hard work and great effort.
"Success is not having your
names in the lights, or the heights
you reach, but making the most
of your opportunities," she said.

Fosbrooke
For 8 NU
By Tat Peck
Feature Editor
Students at the University last
week were given an opportunity
to hear a new lecturer in some
of their classes.
He was Henry A. Fosbrooke,
senior sociologist to the Tangany
ika government in East Africa.
While on the campus he lectured
to two sociology classes, a geo
graphy seminar, a political science
class, a community development
group, a class in ag economics,
an anthropology and a social
science seminar. The political
science class, and the anthrop
ology and social science seminars
were open to all interested stu
dents and faculty members. Fos
brooke spoke at a faculty lunch
eon on Wednesday.
Fosbrooke was graduated from
Cambridge University, England,
in economics and anthropolgy.
In 1931 he took a position with
the Tanganyika government as
district officer and district com
missioner. In 1948 he took the
research job as senior sociol
ogist. His trip to the United States
was made possible by "Fulbright,
Carnegie, the Tanganyika govern
ment and the British Colonial
Office" according to Fosbrooke.
Fulbright provided the means of
bringing him to this country;
Carnegie provided for local travel
the Tanganyika government gave
him a leave and the British
Colonial Office nrovided the con-
version of pounds sterling into
dollars,
His purpose in coming to the
United States, Fosbrooke says.

is to establish contact with uni
versities to learn the current
trend in anthropological and
sociological thought, to give
potential research workers in
Africa an idea of projects in
which they can profitably en
gage and to give them an idea
of working conditions in the
field. His visit to the University
was under the auspices of the
University Research Council.
Fosbrooke indicated that he
would be happy to correspond
with prospective applicants for
Fullbright Scholarships or other
awards, who are considering pro
jects on Tanganyika. He said that
in his contacts with students in
the United States he had found
them lacking in the knowledge of
local conditions in Tanganyika.
This knowledge is not easily ob
tained from texbooks he said.
Students wishing to correspond
with Fosbrooke may write: Henry
A. Fosbrooke, Box 308, Arusha,
Tanganyika. He will be at this
address after January 1, 1953.
Following his visit at the Uni
versity, Fosbrooke will travel to
Sante Fe and Albuquerque,
N. M., where he will make con
tact with the Indian department
and the university museum. He
plans to visit such Negro insti
tutions as Tuskogec and Fisk.
Tanganyika, the country in
which Fosbrooke works, has been
under the Trusteeship Council
since the establishment of the
United Nations. Forbrooke defined
the British position in the country
as working toward self-rule for
Tanganyika within the Common
wealth.
