ARMS AND THE MAN 1, Vol. No. 4 THE MUSE "Provehito in Altum" MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND St.-John's, Newfoundland, April 9, .1951 Price: 5 Cents Are You Buzzer Conscious? ""fifil?-Hear There have ben quite a few complaints rolling into this office, especially from upstairs west, concerning profs who keep students after the gong has sounded. We made mention of this bad habit once before but flagrant disregard of our appeal on the part of persons con- cered forces us to repeat our request. "Professors! After the bell goes, your lectures are ended. Your students' minds (?) are on next class, or, better still, on their free period, if such hapens to be the case. If they must go to another lecture, you, by retaining them, are forcing them to take the unearned wrath of tl at next lecturer when they march in late to his class. You are thereby causing friction between lecturer and students that could be avoided by the use of a little common sense and a regard ior the feelings of others. Also, if you think you're getting any knowledge over to students by keeping them late, you're sadly mistaken. So please, have some regard for us suffering students, and run your time-table according to the bell. Believe us, forty-five minutes is long enough to have to listen to one person talk' Of course we do not mean that as soon as the bell rings, all students should run for the door. The professor snould take time to get a closing remark across, but that is all. After that, you may rest assured that your students are "hankering" to be elsewhere. We trust that this is the last time we must make this request to erring professors. If we are forced to repeat it, the language may be more forceful and the references more specific. "A stitch in time saves nine." Education Official To Address Students Mr. Howse Will Be Guest At Smoker As this issue goes to press, the Education social executive is making feverish plans for their first smoker of the year, which will be held in the Ladies' Common Room on Friday night, April 6th. As this is the first Education smoker for the year, and is- second in import- once only to the annual social, the social committee feel sure that at least a majority, if not all, of Education students will be present. The guest speaker will be Mr. Howse, Principal of Bishop Feild College and President of the Newfoundland Teachers' Association. The subject of Mr. Howse's address is not yet known; however, we feel sure that the topic will be one of timely interest and importance to all present. Don't forget the date; Friday, April 6th. "Attendez tous" and let it be known that we Education students appreciate the kind interest shown by such distinguished men as Mr. Howse, in consenting to address us. Cap and Gown to be Renovated The SRC recently announced that Miss Eleanor Guy would be this year's Editor of the Cap and Gown. At the same time, the Council confirmed a prevailing rumour that the magazine would be completely renovated. Instead of a literary magazine, as it has been in the past, the Cap and Gown will be a real Year Book. This decision wil undoubtedly meet approval with at least a majority, especially in view of the fact that we now have a newspaper. Plans are underway for the new Year Book, and to insure having the sufficient funds to make this project successful, the SRC, in conjunction with the Editorial Staff, is staging a mammoth drive for advertising. A circular letter is being sent to every conceivable business firm, both inside and outside the province. All the students are asked to take part in this drive, and if anyone knows of a firm which has not been approached, they are asked to get in touch with their Faculty representative immediately (the Staff is posted on the main Notice Board). Famous Author Entertains Assembly . Our University was honoured in having as guest speaker at a recent assembly the famous Irish author and lecturer, Sir Shane Leslie. In his introduction, Dr. Hatcher gave us an idea of the extensive background of Sir Shane, who is the author of no less than 32 books, a graduate of Cambridge, and a close relation of Britain's beloved Winston Churchill. Sir Shane's address delighted the University body immensely. As he recounted vividly some amusing instances of his wide experiences and gave hilarious anecdotes connected with his University days, his enchanted audience was a picture of rapt attention. His accounts of personal acquaintanceship with such famous people as Winston Churchill, Rupert Brooke, Lord Tennyson, etc., were greatly enjoyed by all present. In concluding his talk, Sir Shane spoke of that great natural resource of Newfoundland—its forests. He showed clearly the immense value of such resources and admonished that care should be taken to preserve the forests from harm. Dr. Hatcher thanked Sir .Shane amid rounds of applause and so brought to a close the very enjoyable meeting. Shaw To Be Performed First Time In St. John's On the 9th, 10th, and 11th of April theatre lovers in St. Johns will receive an unusual but, pleasant surprise when the Memorial University Dramatic Society presents G. B. Shaw's Arms and the Man in the University's Students Assembly Hall. Although Shaw is undoubtedly one of the greatest of modern playwrights, this will be the first tune one of his plays has been performed in St. John's. Arms and the Man is an example of the anti-romantic comedy at its best. Set against an atmosphere of war and very dubious victory, with the snow-capped mountains ever present in the distance, it tells what happens when Raina Petkoff, the young and beautiful daughter of an influential Bulgarian family, entertains, "though rather unwillingly," an enemy soldier in her boud- ior late at night. Arms and the Man is probably one of the favourite of Shaw's plays and has ben performed by many famous stage personalities. England's beloved Sir Laurence Olivier has played Sergius, the dashing, if rather hypocritical hero to whom Raina is austensibly engaged; while Sir Ralph Richardson has done Bluntschli, the handsome but modest soldier who wins Raina's heart and her family's disapproval. Dame Sybil Thorndike too, has made a majestic Catherine, Raina's rather domineering mother who trys unsuccessfully to conceal her daughter's actions from her husband. Next week's performance promises to provide an amusing and entertaining evening, and should not be missed.
