Players: Example
The appearance of Ralph Bunche, Career Day
speaker, at the University is the result of co
ordinated work on the part of many groups and
persons.
Sponsored by the College of Business Ad
ministration, Dr. Bunche will speak in Schwab
Auditorium tomorrow night.
Pethaps one of the finest examples of co
operation with the program was set by the
dramatics department when they postponed
show time for Players' "Mr. Roberts" until
9:45 p.m. tomorrow to accommodate the Career
Day talk. This performance will mark the open
ing night of the Players' production. Postpone
ment of show time might well have proved
disastrous to ticket sales, but Players have
graciously converted the entire situation into
a unique and potentially successful symbol of
willing cooperation.
The postponement of show time alone might
prove advantageous to the success of "Mr. Rob
erts." It will for certain give the coming "big
weekend" an early start. The show will last
until nearly midnight and give coeds that long
sought opportunity to stay out of the dorms
past the 10 p.m. deadline. The Dean of Women
has granted women students permission to at
tend the late show with the condition that they
show ticket stubs when they return to their
dormitories.
For those students who might otherwise have
had to choose between "Mr. Roberts" and Dr.
Bunche's talk, the postponement will allow at
tendance at both events.
• The late curtain offers even a scholastic ad
vantage to study-minded students. The three
hours between the dinner hour and curtain time
will allow for that end-of-the-week research
and studying that might have been put off had
"Mr. Roberts" been scheduled for the regular
8:15 p.m. opening.
Players have quite accidentally hit upon an
unusual beginning to a "big weekend." They
should be supported in this experiment, as well
as commended for their fine cooperation with
the Career Day program.

Blood, Blood, Blood
Would you like to be an A-number-one
citizen?
It's really a very simple process—a matter of
giving about an hour of your time, rolling
up your sleeve, and donating a pint of blood.
Giving to the blood drive is one of the most
charitable things a student can do. It costs
the donor nothing, and yet, even a single
pint may save a person's life.
The,act is profitable to the donor, too. A
studet who has given blood through the Red
Cross can draw from the blood supply for him
self without cost if this ever is necessary. Thus,
it may be a student's own life that he. poten
tially is saving with his donation.
Everyone has at some time seen a movie
or a newsreel scene portraying the agony of
men and women dying from wounds and loss of
blood, only to be saved at the last moment
through a successful transfusion. This is not
fiction. It is happening every day on battle
fields, in hospitals, and in homes.
Nor do those transfusions come from some
magical .potion concocted in an isolated labora
tory. They are your blood . . . the gracious
donations of college students and other men
and women all over the nation.
The Bloodmobile will be at the Temporary
Union Building Nov. 10 and 11. Students can
get their pledge cards at the Student Union
desks in Old Main and Waring Hall.
The deadline for pledge forms for the cur
rent drive has been extended. Three hundred
pints is the goal this month; and only 115
pledges have been returned. This might well
mean the loss of 185 lives.
It is within the power of practically every
student at this University to help save these
lives. Giving blood doesn't hurt. Many students
here give during every blood drive. Many more
students can give during this blood drive.
Be a number-one citizen. Help your Self to
the satisfaction of helping your fellow men.
Give a pint of blood!

Genius and •Crackpottery
Singing In
The Wilderness
Last week while attending the discussion on "Must Creative Ar
tists Be' Crackpots," we heard •_one: of .the panel members say he
believed "crackpottery" and ,genius -to - be closely related.
This idea interested us, and after thinking about it;
.we could
not help but wonder how such a statement could remain unchal
lenged, especially by such a learned audience ; .as was present,
"Crackpottery," which appears
to include everything from minor
eccentricities to insanity, seems
to be entirely unrelated to genius.
However, it is a very common
occurrence for people to say that
so-and-so -borders between genius
and insanity, and he could become
either one, according, .to circum
stances
This, to pick an example, waS
an aLmost standard expression
when referring to Thomas Wolfe.
Certainly no one questions Wolfe's
geniui, but many people feel that
at times this great writer left the
world of reality; and they . further
point to passages in his works,
which they say couW. not have
been written if Wolfe had . been
perfectly balanced.
However, what does. ."per-.
fectly balanced" mean? How .
many of us could point to some
'one we know and say "That
person is completely sane?"
Furthermore, what , is genius?
If it is an intelligent quotient
beyond a certain number on the
scale, say 180, then genius is
only a •high figure that . sup
posedly measures ability' to
learn.
With this as the case .genius is
measured and determined by po
tentiality, and not by how a per
son uses his latent intelligence.
Therefore, anyone from those in
the least creative jobs to those in
the most creative way may be - a
genius, from a clerk to a Vainter,.
from an Australian aborigene to
a nuclear physicist.
Of course insanity (or rather
"crackpottery") may be present in
any and all of these groups, and
to us, this is the only thing the
two terms have in common. Each
may appear in any type bf person,
but each is due to different things.
It is obvious that insanity ("crack-
WEDNESDAY: NOVEMBER `3: - 1954
By. EDMUND . REISS
pottery") comes from a mental dis
order, a neurotic or psychotic ail
ment. Is genius also a sign of
need- for psychological treatment?
- Certainly some geniuses may
be crackpots, and some crack
pots may be geniuses, but :we
would not replace this "some"
by a "most" or "all." Neither
state is a sign of the other; •nei-'
ther depends on the other, and
neither is related in -any way
to the other.
Genius and erackpottery: • are
two entirely different things, arid
it is hard to understand how an.
intelligent person could . think of
their being 'related. •
