I have simply tired to do what seemed best each day as each day came."----Lincoln.  Night Editors  Kathryn Fritson  Ruth Stewart   PADEREWSKI AND POLAND  Ignace Jan Paderewski spent many years studying piano before he attained the great success which brought him world fame as a great pianist.  Paderewski is now engaged in solving a problem which requires the same endurance, the same constant application, the same initiative and persistence that made him famous as a musician. This popular artist is sacrificing his musical talent, the pride of his life, for a greater and nobler purpose. His foresight and strategy may save Poland.  Paderewski is now giving every ounce of energy to preserve his native country. In spite of his almost unanimous following, it seems that the radical socialists, though few, still have a powerful grip on the Polish government. Paderewski himself says, "At least 95 per cent of the people of the Polands are with me. The others constitute a great danger."  This disturbing element has threatened a general strike if the Paderewski ministry is still in office the middle of February when the elections of the national assembly take place. This gives Paderewski less than one month to calm the socialists and save Poland.  May he be as successful as a statesman as he was at his profession.   "APPEARING WITH MAXINE ELLIOTT"  I might just as well confess it right now, I'm stage struck. But who wouldn't be, after appearing before the footlights with Maxine Elliott and William Faversham? There, now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I might as well tell the whole story.  In company with several other University students, I applied for an extra part with the "Lord and Lady Algy" company Tuesday. A man who looked like a handsome prize fighter inspected us and told us to return early in the evening. "Bring the same kind of makeup you always use," instructed one of the actresses, staring at me. I NEVER use anything of that sort, really.  Eight very excited, bewigged and brocade-costumed, young men and women stepped gingerly out on the stage that night, just before the second act. While the stage manager was giving us our instructions, the curtain went up somewhat unexpectedly. The manager looked annoyed, then smiled easily and said, "That's all right, I'll be the reporter here getting notes on the costumes," Then murmuring, "Diamonds, lavender silk," he pretended to write down something in his notebook.  I wish I could tell you everything we saw behind the scenes: how Miss Elliott sat quietly in a corner, presenting a majestic and beautiful closeup; her eyes were very dark and big, her fingers covered with diamonds, and the train of her velvet gown undulated over the floor about her feet. The others stood a little apart from the famous star, most of them laughed and joked and kept up a continuous conversation. The butler could make a fortune in moving pictures; it was immense to watch his face twitch as he struggled to assume that impassive expression so essential to a perfect serving man. An old duke sat back stiff as a puppet, staring fixedly ahead of him. Faversham was charming; he talked a great deal and was generally quite nice. Another prominent actor had fought in the great war, receiving two wounds while in action with the British army. All of those gay stage lords and ladys seemed to enjoy watching us as must as we enjoyed watching them, which is saying a great deal.   S. M.   GEOLOGIST WRITES IMPORTANT PAPER  An important paper written by Ralph W. Chaney of the department of geology is found in a recent issue of the Journal of Geology, of which Dr. T. C. Chamberlain is editor. The paper is entitled "The Ecological Significance of the Eagle Creek Flora of the Columbia River Gorge."  The conclusion has been reached by the author that plants may, with a degree of caution, be used not only to show that character of past climate but they may also be called upon to indicate the length of time involved in a given epoch and the general character of the topography.
