SEMPER FLOREAT, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1961 PACT 6 RENAISSANCE OF UNI THEATRE Historians still cannot decide the exact date when the Renaissance began. Probably they never will, but the Renaissance of University Theatre can most definitely be dated from 1958 — and Scoop 1. Scoop burst upon a University whose theatre had sunk to its lowest point ever. The Dramatic Society was the battle-ground for competing cliques; the Revue was sliding into a stagnant decay in which obscenity masqueraded as humour. But then came Scoop I and the University Theatre was back on theroad to self-respect. A small group of talented personalities, on their own Initiative and without Union aid. produced the best Revue Queensland has seen for years. And the brilliance of the first Scoop was sustained m fol­ lowing Scoops 11, til. and iV. Scoop infused a new spirit into University Theatre. Within a year of its birth, its success prompted other groups to produce good theatre. , _ anil Purlesfque Sattrosfpectibe These were — (a) Bryan Nason's College Opera, devoted to the production of Comic (Bptxn tmitioMv nm^^tit Gilbert and Sullivan.

But the fact that there is one group energetic and enthusiastic efforts produce a brillant Revue. Scoop has now grown and developed to enough and with enough initiative to undertake to produce C. and S. in this the stage where it attracts a huge town audience as well as students. It city is enough to make any production difficulties small in comparison with has reached its maturity in Scoop IV; its days of adolescence are over. the magnitude of the undertaking. The Producers of Scoop, John Helman and Tony Skoien whom we Pinafore Is a good naturcd satire on homo with his part, and this is best seen English political and marine affairs and in his noticeable change in character when cannot praise too highly for their work in Scoop over the years, have shown cspecSaUy on pomposity; and Gllborfa ho becomes a mcmV^cr of the crew. this in their willingness to experiment, a sure-sign of mature self-con­ subacid satii-e Is Just as relevant today aa John Smiles, as Ralph, has a voice admir­ fidence.

[ SEMPER FLOREAT, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1961 Page .13 PRANKS I THE PAST The memorable studenf prank requires tatte, imagination and organisation. Since all these three facton are very rarely present on one single occasion, really worthwhile pranks are none too common. Thus It would be a shame for the really good ones to be forgotten. But a collection of pranks can never be complete, nor can it be accurate, since the only sources available to any one person are at second hand at the best and the amount of interpolated detail that builds up frequently means that the pranks are more fairy-tale than fiction.
