              the bee the largest college newspaper in western new york volume 14 no 16 university of buffalo , january 19 1934 vagabond director tells of egyptian curse only three left of fifteen who opened tomb is it merely coincidence or is there really some grain of truth to the say ing of the old egyptian dr mardus that there is a curse on the tomb ol tut ankhamen — u curse on one wno was an unbeliver such was the theme of the lecture given by tom terriss one of the three remaining survivors of the original fifteen to visit the tomb of tut ankhamen ten years ago having taken the audience on an imaginary trip to paris on the lie do trance ilustrated with motion pic tures of the points of interest in tni well-known city mr terriss proceded to uke the cite of the valley of the kings tombs just about ten years ago a small expedition under the direction of lord carnarvan began excavating along the banks of the nile in search of the last as yet un found tomb of one of the kings fin ally one of the workers came upon a cornerstone of one of the thirteen steps hairing down into the ground mr terriss proved himself a mas ter of oratory in painting a picture of the mystery and uncertainty with which the rescent into the inner chambers of the tomb was shrouded particularly did he succeed in arous ing the skepticism of the scientists in the audience by insinuating the pos sibiity of a curse to explain the many deaths to the various members of the group during the first few weeks of work the first to succumb was the unfortunate man who originally dis covered the cornerstone three weeks after the opening of the tomb lord catoarvan supposedly died of blood poisoning although those of the party recalled an incident at the time when the sarcophagus was disclosed when the worthy gentleman inserted his hand into a large alabaster vase and cut it since then all but three have met death in an unusual manner some murders some unknown causes but none of the tweve being normal causes mr terriss has recently been searching in the primitive regions of africa and morocco in the quest of a perfect woman it might be interesting to note that mr terriss was also quite ill and the victim of several unusual misfortunes while he retained in his possession a small image taken from the tomb we suggest that dr leary investigate the case in concluding his talk mr terriss quoted the following lines from the . aiiskiil which are repeated each morning and night from the minarets to call the worshipers to prayer yestcray is but a dream and to morrow is only a vision look

semester basis blue masquers store junk and construct sets cf.osby workshop in constant u3e it's officially known as room 40 crosby that big bare room in the corner of the basement but its of ficial name conceals its identity in real life it is the blue masquers workshop generally it's just a store-room for junk — either incred ibly dirty or immaculately clean with never a happy medium but now it's a beehive of industry well maybe not a beehive but any way it's pretty nard to find an afternoon when sumt one isn't there doing something per naps it's a girl or two slapping tan paint on a flat a technical word meaning a hunk of scenery soullully and — sloppily or it's one of the men cussing vehemently the com bination of a college student and a stage craftsman makes for some pretty good cussing because a care lully measured squared and sawed board turned out to be six inches too short but all the efforts uren't feeble the average is pretty good some swell sets are being turned out the credit goes to mr travis the mas quers have discovered that their director is also a capable scenic de signer he knows what he wants and ne knows how he wants it done he made scale working drawings for every piece of the complicated set and supervised its construction con sequently the sets go together and will hold together not only during the forthcoming production of r u r but long after it's designed to be a permanent set technically it's known as a unit bet the masquers were proud of the bar for outward bound which kept falling apart but they're prouder of an elegant fire place which doesn't " they're pretty well caught up now but one job still remains it would satisfy any one's desire to do something big the cy clorama must be painted and that's a job what is a job it's a drop for the back of the stage and it's going to take a lot of paint and a lot of elbow grease just the same the mas quers have set a new record this year the set will be completed more than a half hour before the curtain goes up exams are coming have you notice a different at mosphere around school since vacat ion doesn't everyone in general have a slightly serious expression a less sprightly walk a rather degrad ed quantity of ego do you know why exams are coming everyone looks slightly sheepish when the professors speak of exams and we all experience a most peculiar sensation thoughts such as de mand and supply monopoly price the wars of edward iv and the helmholtz theories occur to some of us we all decide to have no dates until after exams then something comes along and we say oh i'll study all afternoon tomorrow well we have only a few days left so maybe it might be best to settle down to business let's give the faculty a surprise today in your bee 9uad jtbout j ■

over niagara was the fourth consecutive win for the orange cagers this season and proves that they have a strong out fit down at alfred a brilliant pass ing attack featured the win over the purple

alfred the same five that defeated niagara will likely be in there at the opening whistle young and minnick are the likely starters at the forward posts adessa and trumbull guards and edelson center
