us

Dr. Amry Vandenbosch, recently
chosen most distinguished professor at the University In 1945 by
members of the faculty, spoke at
Memorial hall Tuesday plght on his
findings during three months of research on small nations. lie discussed the place of the small states
in international politics and organization.
The status of a country is determined by its military power in actual
warfare. Dr. Vandenbosch said.
Voting Equality
Equality of voting power between
large and small nations will produce
an international organization that
is "sterile and impotent," he said.
The block of the large states by the
small has been admitted to be one
of the chief causes of the failure of
the League of Nations by Gen. Jan
C. Smuts, originator of the Idea of
allowing the small states a large
voice in the League, the speaker
said.
The place of the small states in
the United Nations Organization
will not be as great as In the
League, Dr. Vandenbosch said. Be'
cause Great Britain, Russia and the
j United States bore the brunt of the
war, their statesmen insisted that
they should have a stronger place
In the International organization
than In the League, he said.

the small states.
He charged that the small state is
an anachronism in a day of ex
panding and intensified technology,
a htnderance to economic progress
and higher standards of living."
He said it was not an argument
"against the small state, but rather
against economic nationalism. The
large states were just as guilty as
the small in this, he said.
Speaking for the small states, Dr.
Vandenbosch stated that "we shall
have to admit that there is an element of truth in their contention
that they contribute more than their
share to the world's cultural goods."

Quignol Rounds Out 18 Y ears Of Service
An abandoned Negro church near
the University was the home of the
first little theater in central Kenof
tucky. Repeated

soapy water and paint, all dosed by
earnest people, both young and old,
made ready the frail building that,
until it fell apart, served active
drama. Even then old lumber was
salvaged and added to that of a
row of Negro shacks to form the
of which
present structure,
has housed the University dramatics
for eighteen years. "Very ingenious,"
innumerable visitors have remarked,
"but a disgrace to the campus."
The early theater was named The
Romany, where productions and
instruction were erratic, but in 1928,
with the coming of Frank Fowler
as director, the name was changed
to The Guignol Theatre, and under
this aegis Lexington (and the Blue-graregion) has received the only
legitimate theater faie it has en

Seating but two hundred persons,
with no capital and without subsidization beyond a director, a cardboard building, and electric current,
Guignol has supplied regular dramatic entertainment which is unexcelled In little theaters anywhere
hi the country, both as to the selection of plays and their production.
This statement has evidence in the
fact that Guignol has been selected
as one of the twenty-fiv- e
little theaters making up the National Theatre Conference.
The result of this feverish activity over a period of eighteen years
is that every available inch of
space is overcrowded. The costume

room where all costumes are made
and stored, is needed during productions as a checkroom for patrons'
wraps. The director's office doubles
as a business office. The lounge,
where coffee is served between acts,
by day is a classroom, paint room,
sewing room, and general workshlp.
Classes in dramatic production have
been held for 18 years without benefit of a classroom other than this
small general work room.
During the
existence of
Guignol, 149 plays have been produced, up and above the uncountable laboratory plays held in
with contests and classes.
Here, then, in central Kentucky,
is a bee-hiof endeavor housed in
an amazingly inadequate,

theater to 1944; and the Briggs era,
from that date to the present day.
Wallace N. Briggs, who took over
direction of the theater in the absence of Professor Fowler, is recognized throughout the region as a
champion of student actors. During his two-yereign at Guignol,
Mr. Briggs has cast more than thirty
University students in parts, many
of them leading roles.

"Three's a Family," the play in
the offing, will mark the completion of eighteen years of entertaining service to the University and
