WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1925 "AT THE THEATER"—AND AT SOME OTHER THEATER "When the public wants decent motion pictures it will get them and not until then," is the opinion of Hqbert Bosworth, veteran actor and producer. This statement, by substituting drama for motion picture, is the situation that the University student faces today in Lawrence. There are a number of cultural courses offered on the Hill that would be much more attractive and profoundly valuable if they had access to a theater. A keeper interest in drama would be stimulated if the opportunity to see and hear well-known dramatic productions were given the students. Two and three years ago the theater manager of Lawrence had booked a number of worth while productions, such as Walt Hampton in "Otella," "The Book of Joel," "The Hindu," "Mr. Wu" with Walker Whiteside; Drinkwaters' "Abraham Lincoln," Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," with Charles Gilpin; and Harry Lander. And it was only four years ago that Southern and Marlowe were here in "Twelfth Night." What has been booked for this year? "Able's Irish Room" a comedy. Nothing else but a mediocre class of vaudeville and musical comedy comes for the University student. The University has the music concert course that is greatly appreciated by the faculty, students and townpeople, and this is sponsored by the School of Fine Arts. If the local theater is not going to bring up anything better than it has been bringing—and Mr. Dickinson envisions an disposition to do so—the University would better maintain a "Little Theater" and could well afford to do so, in which during the year a number of the better plays, and perhaps musical comedies would be produced for the benefit of the theater gger who wants to see something worth his time and his money. Of course the first problem is that of the stage. The auditorium in central Administration building is too small; the gymnasium would not have the necessary conveniences. But we can look forward to the new auditorium and the modern equipment that it will have. If the concert courses pay out each year there is no doubt that the dramatic productions could also be made a paying proposition. Let the University be independent of the local theater manager if he does not care to produce what the University wants. Give the students an opportunity to see and hear the best that is booked for the season. Have the cultural side of life developed as well as the educational in the more strictly formal sense. All this can come about if the University takes a hand in the situation; the local management is only looking at the money end, it seems quite evident. FOR THE LOVE OF STEAL ING Some hoodlum has stolen two of the "Follow the Walk" sigma from the campan. These sigma cost money; they are state property; and they are of no value to the thief unless used as firewood. "Hoodian" and "thief" are strong words to use in describing a person who might be a University student. out on a bark when he helped himself to the University's signs. It was a great lark—involving the stealing of property, as well as the destruction of a part of his own University. The type of mind which leads a man to stalk a sign from its place is out of setting here at the University. It belongs in a home for feeble-minded, or in a house for light-fingered. It is the type of mind which thinks up so-called "practical" jokes. There are too many Americans who think it is smart to destroy property. They flock to the tragedy of the Sheenadown and steel valuable instruments as well as the personal belongings of dead men. They defame the status of "The Scout" in Kansas City, and cater their names on the kettlebone monument. They tear down fences to destroy the orchard or enclosure patch which is the living of some "hick farmer". They scratch plate, glass windows with their diamonds and amuse their names about in public places. We have been too badpuddle with petty thieves who call themselves souvenirs hunters. A thief is a thief, whether he steals a ham from its rack, a net from the patch, a sign from the campus, or the beauty from a monument. He should be punished as severely as justice permits, for he steals from no necessity, but from shear love of stuiling. Even the College office is dialog 14. The freshman mid-semester grade cards are green. STILL MISSING At last the fall rains are over, the first snow has fallen, and winter is coming closer and closer each day. This is all perfectly logical and is to be expected in the calendar of the seasons, but there is one event that seems not to have come off at its scheduled time and place. That little number on the program which has turned up missing so far is "Indian summer." Somewhere our order for it has become lost and it is evident that the controller of Kansas weather has been too bony to beate it. Perhaps the shipment may have been dressed in trenchant or perhaps some lucky individuals of another region are enjoying what is rightfully ours. May great misfortune fall upon them if this has taken place? Anyhow, it is certain that someone or something is delaying the one event of the fall season of who everyone would like to catch at least a glimpse. Can't something be done before it is too late? Two boys at play recently discovered a probiotic apartment house in New Mexico. "PREPARING FOR LIFE" Gose-stepping along the paths of learning we students are reminded ever and more that we are "Preparing for life." Those who utter the phrase apparently look on "lifte" as they look on someone else. You get not so much attention far away to annoy an aser—these they regard it as the Indian did the happy hunting grounds he was certain to reach by ditch of time and speed. This enth-phrase, forever bubbling up in admonishing talks to students, is pretty but misleading. We students have accepted, unconciously perhaps, the idea behind the worn catch-phrase "come to feel that by some occult means, functioning when we pay our fees, we are set apart from you." We want to prepare rather than "preparing for life." What we are doing in "preparation," of course, but so will be everything we do until we lay down life. But "life" is not so far away as they would have us believe, "Life" is preparing for it now as we are living it. Enrolling in the University has not detached us from "life". It is hard to return to these same preparations here as much preparation. All this has helped the hedge of misconception surrounding the colony's history and its inhabitants who live inside the hedge from seeing ornacles and our welcomes as we should, and likewise it has observed the vision of those who watch us as we work. Life is ours now. In the past we have prepared for it. In the present we live it. By doing so intellige- tional we can create a future a chance to take care of itself. Then we will be "prepared."—Ohio State Lantern. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN OLOGY CLUB: The Zoology Club will meet tonight at 7:30 in room 304, Snow Hai WALLACE NEWBY, President.
