C A R N I C U S Weeks of deciding, writing, and humorizing a script —weeks of fussing, cussing, practice—hours of head- aches. heartaches, tryouts, and the agonizing moments before the finalists are revealed. The announcement either brings exhilaration and a sense of achievement or piercing disappointment. The sum total can be only Carnicus. Over the years, Carnicus has evolved into one night of the best entertainment students of the university can produce. When the idea was first introduced on the campus, it took the form of a carnival and circus which began with parades and stunts, and climaxed with a dance and crowning of the Carnival Queen. Through- out the years, however, one event after another was abolished. During the war. even the stunts were abol- ished due to lack of participants. After 1945, however. Carnicus again assumed its rightful place on the calendar with the combination of stunts and skits into a hilarious night of fun and frolic. Then came the fatal word. Strict censorship would be enforced. Everyone thought that Carnicus had been dealt a death blow! Much to their surprise, the enter tainments reached an all-time high; never before had the judges had such a difficult time reaching a decision, and in no time before had the skits contained such va- rieties of originality and humor. As each year goes by, more and more people tangle with the thrilling events attached to Carnicus because each year seems to add some new novelty to the entire picture. I say.
