Students Cry For Gloom Says Ise In a Reply
John Ise, professor of economics, loves gloom, he says in reply to a recent criticism of his pessimistic nature by A. W. Cunningham of Lawrence. Both Mr. Cunningham's criticism and Mr. Ise's reply were printed in $ ^{i} $
"Referring to a letter from Mr. Cunningham a few days ago, in which he tries to cheer me up by hinting that I am too gloomy, or sour, or crazy, or something, may I say that I am sorry he does not like my style, but I don't really like it very well myself. I am just naturally a morse, morbid old hyochondriac, and it's no fun to be that kind of a man, believe me. It isn't what I eat. I was born that way. If I could have got around to it in time, I would have asked my parents to endme with a different disposition, but it's too late now. But Mr. Cunningham has much to be thankful for. He doesn't have to live with me, or listen to my speeches. I haven't always been so bad, and I really wish, sometimes, that I were a boy again, about three years old, so I would be cheerful like Mr. Cunningham.
"I think the newspapers are partly to blame for my condition — the newspapers and magazines and books. They are just full of discouraging, pessimistic stuff — about the Chinese starving, and the Germans robbing the Dutch and the French and Belgians. I think the newspapers should be required to print more cheerful news. British victories in Africa are all very good, as far as they go, but I would rather read about victories over Hitler. I would quit reading, but I suppose if I did, someone would start complaining about that, for it would show on me. Choosing between being pessimistic
and being ignorant is surely no picnic.
"I should think Mr. Cumingham would tolerate just a little pessimism. Surely there is much to cheer the people—in the comic strips, in the movies, on the radio, in the tittle-tattle, of the bridge table and the social hour. Most people seem disgracefully cheerful, I think, I can't

J. D, Stranathan, Mrs. Karl Klooz, and Mrs. Bert Nash presided.
Centering each table were five candles, surrounded by fruit, vegetables, nuts, and huckleberry leaves. Begonias and other potted plants were used about the room.

ACTORS SUPERSTITIOUS--the modern Viola of Twelfth Night,
and Frederic March made the list
of award winners. Katherine Hepburn
and Charles Laughton, who have
had outstanding successes this
year, carried home the golden statuettes in 1932. "The Three Little Pigs" brought entertainment to a nation badly in need of a laugh and fame to their tall, mostached creator, Walt Disney.
The following year, Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, made a picture together called "It Happened One Night," and for their excellent co-starring portrayals they were judged the winners for that year. Then there was a change from the sophisticated comedy of 1933, and Hollywood began to take its drama seriously. Bette Davis and Victor McLaglen hit a new high in dramatic characterization and were formally recognized by the industry as stars of distinguished ability.

Soon the year 1939 went by and from a long list of possible winners, the names of Vivien Leigh and Robert Donat, both English stars, emerged as the victors. And now 1940 has come and gone and March soon will be here. Again there will be a banquet—the small golden statuettes will shine in the reflection of the huge crystal chandeliers and the honor that accompanies them will shine in reflections in the eyes of the man and woman who take an Oscar home with them to stay. An Oscar the 13th.
next year, when, for the first time, a European actress was an award winner. The honored one was tiny, black haired Luise Rainer, the Austrian actress whose crying scene in "The Great Ziegfeld" made cinema history. Paul Muni won in the actors division for "The Story of Louis Pasteur." Miss Rainer held on to her title the next year and was given another Oscar to match the one she had at home on the mantle, and Spencer Tracy ended his long climb to the top by being proclaimed the male winner. He stayed right there, too, and came through with a moving performance of Father Flanagan in "Boys Town" the next year, to receive his second academy award. Another former honoree shared the spot light with him—it was Miss Bette Davis, who took the '38 Oscar.
