Dramatic Club Play Makes Hit With Audience
NUMBER 96
"This Thing Called Love
Presents a Fast
Moving Comedy
Of Today
Ralph Bryant, c'une
Kalpik Bryant, cute.
Ewen staill George and Martha
Washington would have laughed up-
married life in modern life and modern love presented
by the Dramatic club in "Thin Thing Called Love" last night.
Old Fraser theater resounded to the rantings of Sam Kimble c'37, and Esther Hollacker, c'37, characterizing Mr. and Mrs. Bertrand, and to the applause and laughter of the large audience.
Her cohort, Larry Wightman, e37 transformed himself quickly from a long-lost stranger to a man totally familiar with the modern world.
Betty Ruth Smith, fa'37, as Ann the converted spinster, was perfectly at home on the stage, laughing spontaneously and loving fervently. Her movements were graceful and timely.
The cast did *hn* excellent job of mood creation in the first act. With soft music on the radio, drinks were served, the characters paired off and chatted amiably, creating an atmosphere verging closely on the theme of "Abode of the Blessed," which phrase Bertrand had used to describe the show's characters. "Abode of the Blessed" is changed to "Madhouse of the Manies" when Miss Hollecker lets go with that gentle voice of hers.
Fred Littock, c39, couldn't keep from smiling at his own jokes, but that's excusable when you consider that they're pretty good jokes and he didn't write them anyway. As Normie he finds one place where he's licked when he tries to make Ann's marriage number five in his list of shamelessly uprooted love-matches. Mr. Martin, C77, framed a picture in the mind's eye of a typical college widow.
Seriously, the cast co-ordinated well, showing the artistry of its director, Rolla Nuckles, especially in its "ad-lib" scenes. Fast action, except for an occasional love scene, prevailed. The play began in a roar of excitement and ended in a flurry of confusion.
Lucile Wagner, fa38, always knew just what to say at just the right time. Her ability was exceptional at turning the conversation tenderly into a conversation pasture instead of leading them along the straight and narrow. But her husband, Joe Myers, c'unc, was used to it and thought his cause hopeless until harassed husband Lucille Wagner said that they leave the crowdy groups.
Loicelle Gaynor, c'uncel, and James Bradfield, c'uncel, played the butter and maid, small but necessary parts, taking their cues promptly.

The Delta Taw are reported to be searching for a culprit brother (supposedly) who put a goldfish in a pitcher of drinking water. The officer, by unsuspecting boys, and refilled from the pitcher—all seemed well until the housemother drained the pitcher and out flopped the fish into her glass. "This said that some who had been trapped have to have symptoms of sea-sickness.

Editorial Comment
Teaching Communism
A committee of senators and representatives is hard at work on a proposed law affecting schoolteachers in the District of Columbia.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE KANSAS
Two years ago a "red rider" was attached to an appropriation bill for the district, banning the teaching or advocating of communism in Washington public schools. Much agitation, pro and con has resulted from the enforcement of the law, and a compromise is being worked out. In the end the law will be repealed or another rider will be added to permit teachers to give the facts about communism without advocating it.
Washington is not the only place where such laws have been suggested. Arkansas legislators recently tried to make the teaching of communism a penitentiary offence.
communication is possible.
The time is coming rapidly when there will be even greater agitation for such laws, and anyone who opposes them will be looked upon with suspicion as a dangerous radical. We had the same situation during the World War when a pacifist was considered a traitor, even a pro-German.
It will be a sad day for American democracy when this condition is permitted to exist. We will be back in feudal times when it was considered dangerous for the masses to learn to read because they might get "dangerous ideas." A frank and open discussion of communism is a necessity. Great generals, going into battle do not close their ears to reports of the enemy's position and intention. They get all the information possible so they may protect themselves.
The Kansan Platform
1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program.
2. Betterment of student working conditions.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore.
Vote Frauds
Künsas Citizens are getting an interesting look in on the tactics employed by the gangsters who control the elections. Surely these revelations should be sufficient to stir up even the most inert, indifferent citizen. But will they? The answer is, probably not.
The conviction of two men for conspiring to deprive voters of the rights of franchise in the last election has received wide publicity. This may fool some people into believing that a great deal has been accomplished. Actually, the progress toward a cleaner city is infinitesimal. The two men convicted were merely cogs in the great machine. It will continue to function very efficiently without their presence.
The purpose of a statement such as this is not to belittle the start that has been made, but to show the need for continued vigilance and action. Other cities, caught equally tightly in the grasp of an organization, have managed to jerk loose and institute reforms. But this can't be done without a strong organization of determined citizens which Kansas City seems to lack, as yet.
A New Recruit

a. Construction of a medical science building.
Early this month station WCAU of Philadelphia instituted a program which consists of
b. Addition to the stacks of the library.
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
a series of the symptoms, prevention, and cures of syphilis and gonorrhea. That radio should have anything to do with such a topic as venereal disease is remarkable, for it has long shied away from any subject not strictly in good taste. Thus WCAU is to be doubly lauded.
Now that radio has joined the ranks, the taboo against syllables will weaken even more. The New York Daily News started things off a year ago with a series of articles on a topic which previously had been spoken of only in the faintest of whispers. There followed like campaigns and articles in the Chicago Tribune, and other newspapers and magazines. All these helped to break down the barrier which prevented the intelligent discussion of symptoms, prevention, and cure of one of the most dreaded diseases in the country. With this barrier down a great step will be taken.
So we bail WCAU and hope that other stations will soon follow the path it has set.

The Question for the Day! Are you in favor of the adoption by the University of the radio-lec lecture system or by the larger universities? If so, why?
Mary Jackson, c 40. "Yes, I could stay in bed, instead of climbing the Hill for my classes."
Anonymous: "No. Many of the illustrations and demonstrations that are used in the class rooms would certainly be lost in a broadcast." Claire Connellly, c/uncle: "Yes, I feel
it is unnecessary to attend class.
Helen Forbes, c:40 "No, I believe that one would lose interest in his classes if he never had any personal contact with the students. I think that they would like this system of school, but I believe that when the novelty were off it they would soon tire of it."
Earl Wailfording, cuncal: "Yes, with some reservations, it would give students other than those enrolled in the class an opportunity to hear the lectures in which they are interested."
Jean Hows, c38: "I wouldn't know. I am interested in laboratory courses only."
Frank Welch, c. 40: "Yes, it is a good idea. A university could handle a larger enrollment without increasing the size of its class rooms or employing more professors. Some professors who have difficulty in putting their lectures across before a large audience can also use the disconcerting forces removed when speaking in the privacy of their offices."
It was very discouraging indeed to your reporter to find the greater part of the student body in such a serious state of mind that not one could see the possibilities of a funny side of this question.
A CORNER
ON BOOKS
By K.R.L., c'39
Jungle Commentary
In "I, the Tiger", Manuel Kowroff, author of "Coronet," *New York Tempest*, etc., forsakes the field of the historical novel long enough to comment briefly on life and humanity as seen through the eyes of "Rajah, Royal Bengal, India." He records the slightly disaffairful observations of Ninebranch, as he was called in the jailhouse in 1962, and through his adventures with a second circle, circus, a steam-heated zoo, and a palatial Hollywood animals' headquarers, until he returns again to his own
beloved hills to help make "The Struggle for Existence-Super-Colossal Wild Animal Epic of the Century"
It is not a new device—this laughing at it one's fellows from behind the protective mask of a less intellectual animal—and Manuel Kromoff has not made use of it with the profudity or depth of perception employed by the oriental philosophers who invented the practice comfortably. It is precisely and often beautifully written volume, sown with epigrams and comments which are not too sharply analytical to embarrass its readers.
The animals which Ninebrane meets in his journeying are no less interesting personalities than the people. There is Jesse James, the Puma bad boy from the west; Emperor, the lion who took the name above his cage too seriously; and Madri, the pure white tigress of his jungle romance—as well as the trapper, Zorc Plasy, the big backman, Saw-Saw, the clown; and old Aunty Perkins, who sewed on buttons for the circus, and in the end became the only real movie star of the group.
Witness the following:
"Behavior is only a matter of geography."
"The human race is capable of much凄寒, but why the devil they hide it for such long periods is a great mystery."
"In a tiger's eye, 'tis a miserable thing to be born into the human race. At least we have a fighting chance and only a few of us fall into traps. But man is trapped before he is born. And after he is born, it is also not forgotten. Education is only method of putting humans behind bars."
Compared to the average run of present day book output, "I, the Tiger" is at least unusual. It provides an evening of refreshing, if not hysterical, entertainment—if one does not read too fast or too deeply. It is less than thirty thousand words in length.
