Mail to men in the armed forces stationed over- seas should already be on its way now or there will be a slim chance of promptness, he said. * * * WHEN THE jolly old man with the whiskers arrives tomorrow, he should have a pretty good idea of what many of the community's kids are expecting in front of the Christmas tree on Dec. 25. Post Office employes report an unus- ually early torrent of requests which they dutifully shoot to the North Pole. Stamps on the pleas for presents range from the standard three- center to crudely drawn pictures of Jefferson with "3c" carefully labeled on them. One little girl, possessed of a rare faith in Santa's omniscience, merely said, "I want a doll" and left off her name and address.

First Novy Award Given to Student The first Frederick G. Novy Fel- lowship for research in bacterio- By DONNA HENDLEMAN An earnest young man with a casual air, actor-director Bob Lan- ning, of the Arts Theatre Club, likes good theatre and good beer. The theatre, of course, takes precedent for this ruggedly hand- some thespian, who is currently directing the forthcoming produc- tion of Gertrude Stein's "Yes is for a Very Young Man." * * * SINCE HE joined the troupe in September, Lanning has been seen in two very different roles; as tor- mented Andre in "The Sulky Fire" and as Beaumont and Fletcher's gay Mr. Merrythought in "The Knight of the Burning Pestle." "Serious roles are my favor-' ites," he commented, "but I pre- fer directing to acting altoge- ther. It is, for me, a more ex- hilarating type of creativity than merely depicting one fig- Lanning began his theatrical career in high school, "where I got the bug along with everyone else." HE PURSUED h i s interest throughout his college career at UCLA, and in 1941 took a job with CBS in Hollywood, intent on making a career in radio. "But I found radio an exceedingly unsat- isfactory medium," he smiled. After a stint in the service, Lanning attended the Royal Academy in London, spent some time with the New York Neigh- borhood Playhouse, and then became director of the New York Touring Players, a group which appears at small colleges throughout the South. Directly following the "Yes is for a Very Young Man" run, Lan- ning will go to New York to direct a play for the Players. But he plans to come back and settle down after the players stint and devote all his time to the Arts Theatre Club. For, Lanning feels, as a mem- ber of the Club he is engaging in "just about the most important theatre venture in America today." "American theatre is almost void of companies which concen- trate on really artistic outlets for actors' talents," Lanning said. "If theatre is to improve, ventures like our Arts Club must not fail." 'Messiah' Here Next Week-end The annual Christmas perform- ancesiof Handel's "Messiah" will be given at 8:30 P.m. Saturday (Dec. 8) and again at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Hill Auditorium.

Student Association president, William Dentzer, of the ways the association benefits students on Study Gives Bosses Hints Four keys to being a good fore- man are found in a study by the University's Survey Research Cen- ter. High work output was found re- lated to (1) the ability of the sup- ervisor to lead his group, (2) the supervisor's interest in the em- ployees under him, (3) the em- ployees' interest in their own group and (4) the supervisor's confidence that he has enough authority to carry out his respon- sibilities. The 61-page report entitled "Productivity, Supervision a n d Morale Among Railroad Workers" claims that "high productivity is not something which a supervisor attains accidentally . . . The suc- cessful supervisor is successful be- cause he has a different set of attitudes toward his employees and a different approach to people and their motivation." campus all over the country, the NSA opened a two day Michigan Regional Conference here yester- day. Dentzer pointed out that the philosophy of NSA-that students, faculty and administration should work together for a common end- is the basis for all student govern- ment projects. "THE THINGS in the minds of men are what are important," he said, "and it's up to the legisla- tures to see that every person on their campus benefits in some way from their student government." Dentzer also told of the neces- sity of legislatures pooling ideas if real progress is to be made. He compared the legislature work- ing alone to the monarchs in history who failed because they kept all authority within their own families. "Students' rights and opinions are most effectively expressed through a strong central body," he added, "and NSA is serving this purpose.
