Rea To Use 'The Lady' For Thesis
By BOB NOLD
All during graduate study in speech and drama, Tom Rea, instructor in speech, searched for material for a production thesis.
"A play must have audience appeal," he said, "and this has it. It isn't the usual trite sort of three act play groups have to work with.
Mr. Rea said Allen Crafton, professor of speech, suggested to him that he use this play for his thesis.
"The Lady's Not For Burning."
"It was not an easy task to find a play that offered adequate material and problems to make it worth a thesis study." Mr. Rhea said.
Because he wants to work in educational and University theaters, Mr. Baxus wanted his thesis to be written on practical work rather than research.
"Over a year ago," he continued,
"when I first read Christopher Fry's
The Lady's Not For Burning, I imitated the devotee of the man and bis works.
"Since I seldom read any play without thinking of the possibilities in stage production, the immediate threat is that you may both excited and frightened me."
Of these, only one—the F-86 or Sabre jet—can stand up in combat against the Russian-built MIG-15.
Four Plane Types Fight Korean War
The Air Force has four types of fighter planes which are the "work horses" of the Korean war.

The others are the slower F-80 Shooting Star" and the F-84 Thunderjet, and the World War II, propellor-driven Mustang. The Mustang was our most successful fighter in the closing days of World War II, against the jets that has so much chance as a kite in a whirlwind.
The Shooting Star, the Thunder-
jet and the Mustang all are obsolete
even though the former two
overwere heard of at the close
of the last war.

Yet, because our Air Force has been fighting a sort of "starvation" war in Korea, all three have been doing a tremendous job as fighters-bombers against enemy troop concentrations and supplies and in close support of our own ground troops.
Until the B-29 medium bombers were limited to night work, the F-84's frequently were assigned to them as escort and downed their share of MIG's. But it was an uneven battle in which, if we won, we did so because our pilots were better trained and were equipped with a better gun sight than the enemy.
As air-to-air fighters, the Shooting Stars and Thunderjets now have been replaced in Korea by the Sabreiet.
Combat figures illustrate that so far as a comparison between the Sabre and the MIG is concerned, the MIG is so much in quality as in numbers.
Their chances of finding a fight are good and they usually are outnumbered at least three to one, and sometimes by as much as eight to one. We have about 150 Sabrejets in Korea as opposed, according to latest official estimates, to about 700 MIG's available to the Reds.

Yet, with the odds against them, our pilots have been killing off the MIG'S at about the rate of eight to one.
He got back to fly again. But up to the last official figure, 21 Sabres had been lost, and usually numbers were the reason.
"Come on up here, you guys. I got 15 of 'em surrounded."
a few seconds later came this call,
you guys, hurry up. Now they go.
Wait, the prompt says "Preserve special characters and punctuation exactly as they appear."
So no spaces or special characters.
But, for the man alone in the sky, cruising along at 30,000 feet, those odds cannot be discounted. I talked with some Sabre pilots one day, just as they climbed from their planes after the first great air battle of the war. They told me this story about one of their number during the peak of the fight. He called over his radio:
Unofficial estimates say that Russia has outbuilt us three to one since 1846.
University Daily Kansan
the University's third major production is a new play by a contemporary author. It has no traditions and, as a result, the biggest problem in directing is the interpretation of Fry's words.
He said a woman who saw the London production of the play summed up the story plainly and imaginatively by saying, "It is the story of what it is to die and a woman who wants to live—and of course the woman wins."
Mr. Rea said as a director, a person has to have a common objective upon which he and his actors agree. "We decide where we're going," he said, "and interpret how each character feels and fits into the story. The play takes on new meaning each day.
"I am convinced," he continued. "that above all, this play is first and foremost a romantic comedy."
"I feel we must approach Fry sincerely and with intelligence," he said, adding, "His plays are a wonderful exercise for the educational theater. They give actors practice in voice characterization as well as handling of a tough acting assignment."
"However," he added, "the fact that the words of this play are in conversational blank verse, makes them easier to express than they would be otherwise."
Mr. Rhea said that the closer his relationship comes to the play, the more his ideas and interpretations of the play change.
"This is proving a wonderful testing ground for me," he said. "The final decision as to what is right and wrong in the play's presentation is mine."
"The Lady's Not For Burning," released last month for amateur presentation, will be given Feb. 27 through March 1.

Human Blood Holds Totem Pole Together
Thursday, Feb. 21, 1952
The "Yermerlindi" and the other objects in the collection were gathered by an international expedition to Arnhem Land on the northern coast of Australia.
Washington—(U.P.)—Human blood is used as glue on a toot pole made by Australian aborigines that is part of a collection on display at the Smithsonian institution.
The totem pole, called the "Vermerlindi," is eight feet high and made from a bundle of saplings covered by paper bark. The bark is coated with human blood which acts as an adhesive to glue an outer covering of wild bush cotton to the pole.
