"The microscope opens a whole
new field of study and investiga

Rook, associate professor of elec
trical engineering, said of the
new electron microscope pur
chased last year.
This instrument, purchased by
the University Foundation for
$22,000, is capable of magnifying
an object from 100 t3 20,000 times
Rook is the only man on cam

to say that although it has this
tremendous power, it can be op

The latest fraternity on the
University campus, the first of a
unique hybrid variety, held an
unusual field trip last week.
Omicron Epsilon Pi, a new or
ganization, officially opened its
own formal season. Since the
avowed purpose of the group is
to have a good time, they re
fused to wait for the normal so
cial season opener the Military
Ball.
EIGHT MEMBERS, all highly
regarded at the University, have
formed the mutually inclusive
and exclusive group. Many de
tails of the new group are secret
However the members' names can
be revealed, if they are listed in
alphabetical order.
We have no seniority over
each other," one of the notable
members stated.
In alphabetical , order, as re
quested, the members are:
Snooky Coryell, Frank Hallgren,
associate dean of student affairs,
Joyce Johnson, Cecilia Koehnke,
Marshall Kushner, Shirley Led.
ingham, Stan Sipple and Van
Westover, assistant to the dean
of student affairs.
THE "OUTING" was held Nov.
20 when the group journeyed by
train to the closest Midwestern
metropolis Omaha. Everyone
interviewed spoke about the weird
comments that passerby made as
they saw the OEPi group en
route. This was understandable.
considering they were attired.
rather inappropriately, in form
als and tux's.
Nourishment was served in the
form of box lunches. Each lunch,
resembling "Fat Boy Elmer's"
specialty, with one exception.
consisted of one raw carrot, one
piece of celery, one banana and
one big, round cookie. Each
course was taken, in turn, with
adequate supplements between
each delicacy.
ONCE IN the big town, the
OEPi octette ventured a few
blocks from the railroad station
down to Caniglia's Pizzaria to
partake of its famous speciality.
After proving themselves gour
mets, there remained but one
stop.
They visited Angelo's, sup-

Returning to relatively

CONCERNING FUTURE inten
tions, one OEPi said, "We have
indefinite plans." As far as can
be determined at this time, the
group intends to participate in
many worthy charity functions.
"We plan to send a CARE pack
age to "Strictly Kushner's" fa
vorite 'amico in Italia'," ans
wered one of the members. "Seri
ously, though, we will help in
some local charity drives," he
added.
On the agenda for the nqar ti-
ture include such affairs as a
balloon ascension, a feast of wild
meat and others bordering on
the unmentionable.
THE ESPRIT de corps of OEPi
is probably its most obvious trait
Beyond merely peping up the nor
mal mundane events of student
life, (they consider them so)
OEPi promises to do the Univer
sity immeasurable good. (It s a
good thing it's immeasurable,
too).
All eight members have pledged
to stick together. Ostracism by
the group would be a most ter
rible thing," one OEPi mused.

wanted to read the letter and he
replies: "Because it's a fine piece
of English composition, and I'm
teaching a class in English com
position. An obscure little class."
Pure Thurber and it was lost.
MOST OF the other characters
are fairly stock but fun. Richard
Marrs and William Klamm were
ideally cast as the former Ail
American and the university
trustee, both breezy extroverts
who never permitted the action
to lag for a moment.
Marrs' big scene where he ex
plains the football game with
dishes as players on the floor
came off extremely well.
Again the arena theatre did
not do justice to the final action
of the scene when Tommy.
whose presence is unknown, re
moves a teacup from Joe Fer
guson's up-raised hand.
The comic situation was an-
preciated ag the laughter testi
fied, but some of us saw onlv
the backs of the actors' heads.
Barbara Leigh as Tommy's
wife does much to keep the plot
moving, but it isn't by any
means a role touched by Thur-
ber's genius. To repeat, those
who knew Thurber'g drawings
can recognize Tommy, but Ellen
is not one of his females.
Both she and Ann Corcoran.
enacting the role of Barbara
Leigh's sister, brought the charm
and good looks that are required.
As a college girl type with a
great deal of sparkle and viva
city and few inhibitions, I
thought Ann Corcoran excellent.
Ruth Ann Richmond as Gwen
dolyn, the maid, received her
share of laughs and the recogni
tion was deserved.

"Nebraska revisited looks bet
ter than ever. I'm just as sur
prised at this as any reader might
be," said Norm Leger, journalist
turned dramatist and University
graduate.
Leger, editor of The Daily Ne
braskan in the spring of 1949 and
past Innocents president, is
now involved m the Circlet
Theater produtcion of 'The Wins
low Boy'."
He said that he is "eniovine
this experience immensely . . .
rarely has it been my privilege
to work with such a congenial
and hard working director. Fur
thermore, all the years I went to
the University I attended Circlet
Theater productions. I suppose
you might say I'm finally getting
a chance to undo a thwarted de
sire to act at the Circlet."

itor graduated in 1949 and in the
fall entered the Neighborhood
Playhouse School of the Theater
in New York City. He worked in '

HE SPENT the summer of 1953

Pennsylvania, "just 20 miles
from Gettysburg, which is noted,
I believe, for some kind of war

a bit of publicity."
After stock Leger decided to

pay the folks a visit. While home,
not being able to put down im

When asked why an ex-Ne-
