...Walt Disney's simple ideas for Mickey Mouse. In the complicated translation to cinema form, 175 understudies do most of the drawing far better than Disney could. In his $150,000 Hollywood studio, the preparation of a Mickey Mouse short is much the same as for any solemn Hollywood picture. When the script is finished, "animators" draw Mickey's attitudes as at the beginning and end of each action. "Inbetweeners" draw the graduated poses between. "Inkers" place a transparent square of celluloid on the drawing and outline it boldly in ink on the celluloid. The first square...

Graduated from De Pauw University, he went to Oklahoma at the turn of the Century, practiced law, plunged into state politics. He served two inconspicuous terms in the House before going to the Senate in 1927. His first love is Oklahoma...
There were two bouts: Teutonia v. Zaringia; Shibellinia v. Rheno-Palatia. Members of the four fighting corps sat in separate groups, embroidered caps on their heads, colored ribbons across their chests, very solemn, very earnestly drinking beer. Official guests, something new for a student duel, were the Rector of the University, Dr. Willy Andreas, a group of professors, the chief of police of Heidelberg and the State's Attorney for Baden. The spectators' gallery was jammed with alumni, Nazis in uniform, even a few women...
