I sincerely hope the Spectrun) will amend its methods so that its newspaper is sues can be singled out as a truly U.B. student publication. The intent of this letter is for the good of the University. We shall always act in its best interest. Kobert M. Fullerton Cadet Captain, ACS Commander Editor’s Note: We wish to thank Mr. Fullerton for his letter and his interest in The Spectrum. He raises some questions we would like to clear up. There was no big reason why the article was not printed. Simply and truthfully it was lost in process ing, and by the time the loss iras discovered it was too late to make arrangements for a new one, In an attempt to rectify this error the Spectrum fully intended to give a good story this week as it is doing. We of the Spectrum have no grudge against the ROTC or any other organization. The editorial concerning the Band was based on fact and not prejudice. The letter about the “Siberia Patrol” was, in fact, a letter to the editor. We feel it is our duty to print all letters, even though they may be critical. Dear Editor, Last week on March 12, as chair man of the Publicity Committee for the Air Command Squadron’s Na tional Convention I submitted an article for publication. I wish to thank you and your efficient staff for so boldly omitting it. I like to waste my time writing articles that will never appear in print anyway. I should also like to compliment you for the short, eight-page paper this week. By throwing out more articles you could have reduced the paper to one page, or better yet none at all. What good is a school newspaper that is only going to print the articles that appeal to the staff of that paper? I know that it isn’t going to make a pins worth of difference to you, but I just thought I’d let you know that you disappointed all the members of the A.C.S., and made me look like a heel to them and especially to the delegates who came from half way across the country and read your fine Spec trum. They really jumped for joy when they read the twenty words, “Sponsored by the Freshman Steer ing Committee, the affair is being held, in conjunction with the Air Command Squadron’s National Convention” that you so generously Maaoads-Watchu JEWELRY.

The edi tor of The Spectrum appreciates this and always tries to be fair and unbiased in handling the scores of stories submitted each week.

Because each and every one made it their business to be there the dance was very successful. I think that much credit should be given to the Fresh man who held such a successful af fair and turned out to support it. Also thanks to those who came down to Memorial Hall Saturday and spent hours decorating the hall in an array of green and white. We were also very glad to see upper classmen support this affair. All in all it was a very enjoyable eve ning. Sincerely yours, Lois G. Cohen.

Masquers Play Well Received McGinis Stars ’The good will that Blue Ma»- quers recently attained with tbeir excellent production of “Guys and Dolls” continued with their pres entation last week of '\The Physi cian In Spite of Himself”. The farce, one of MoUere’s best known, was put on in Capen’s EMward But ler Auditorium for three nights. By means of an economical set ting, the audience was' thrown back to the age of Restoration Comedy. A grand performance by Richard McGinis as Sganarelle set the pace. He was right at home in the parL So was Olive Dorman, who acted the foolish doctor's nurse with droll humor. ’The rest of the cast, thongh ade quate, had a hard time keeping up ^ t h these- two. Aa Martine, An nette Frank looked sexy but that is all. As the lover, Pete 'Barths garbled bis words and could seldom be understood. Anthony Drake swaggered, and shouted as ha played himself. Peter Hermes mads his appearances amusing. If you were familiar with this type of comedy, it would delight you. A casual observer, however, might have found the play offen sive. At times it seemed that the audience laughed more from shock than delighL Some of the dia logue, especially in this translation, bordered on the obscene. Better promotion might have brought a larger audience for the show which, for the moet part, waa well done. —FIRST NIGHTKR
