...first two shows are considered. The opener, called The Last of the Old-Time Shooting Sheriffs, was a witty debunking of the classic western with its quick-drawing, deadshot badmen and goodmen. The veteran sheriff of the title, played with creaking excellence by Russ Simpson, was a gun slinger who preferred a donkey to a spirited stallion, avoided trouble when he could, and in a gun battle, always got his man by holding onto his revolver with both hands while lie fired. Last week's show, Trouble on the Double, was a forced and unfunny farce about an expectant...

Attendance at Dilworth street rallies zoomed from 50 to 3,000 (for one rally last week, a crowd of 7,500 jammed the busy intersection of Chestnut and Broad).

...burning fervor is all it takes to make a feared and respected slinger of the pen; the Friendly Editors will supply in concentrated lessons what you lack in experience. In Harvard's only course in journalistic style, all comers will learn how to be gentle, how to be sentimental, how to boost subtly a pet idea, and, last but not least, how to don the silver armor (which hangs freshly polished, semperparatus, behind the Managing Editor's desk) and ride roughshod over the tyrants of University Hall and drive the money changers from Lehman. They will be received...
