<p> If you live for tomorrow with the objective of</p>
<p>making today’s dreams come true tomorrow, you</p>
<p>begin to pace yourself and to deny yourself small</p>
<p>rewards in favor of engineering bigger things. In</p>
<p>a matter of months one can gain a pretty accurate</p>
<p>assessment of his personal power and of his capacity for</p>
<p>work, and time enables one to not only</p>
<p>play the game but to keep his own side.</p>
<p> The man who stands to gain the most from this</p>
<p>kind of self-paced living is the man who is above average</p>
<p>but less than a genius. This includes most of you; it includes</p>
<p>me; it includes most professional men to some degree. One</p>
<p>can outdistance his competitors if he begins to work at his</p>
<p>maximum level of effectiveness soon enough. The slower</p>
<p>you are, the earlier you have to begin to work</p>
<p>toward an objective w/ the idea of achieving it.</p>
<p>If you assess the cost of a really taxing effort and</p>
<p>literally case your objective, you are already half-way there.</p>
<p> Fate can engineer magnificent pratfalls that knock</p>
<p>the best laid plans into a cocked hat. Beyond a point that</p>
<p>apoint each man knows for himself, man is helpless. The world</p>
<p>much bigger than he is. But what fate deals out to most of us is</p>
<p>probably better than we deserve, so there’s no room for genuinely</p>
<p>justified bitterness. After all if you plow ahead but fail</p>
<p>for some uncontrolled factor that upset your red wagon,</p>
<p>you cannot be upset very long before you turn to tomorrow</p>
<p>and begin some work therapy on a new project.</p>
<p> Every quarter or semester in a university is</p>
<p>a test of planning ahead. You learn to work,</p>
<p>you learn to meet deadlines, you learn to avoid the pitfalls</p>
<p>of goofing off. You learn how to pilot yourself to avoid</p>
<p>most of the bumps. Each setback only stiffens the determination</p>
<p>to win in the end. The daily lesson is the mind’s food, unless</p>
<p>you feed the mind it doesn’t grow. If you learn</p>
<p>many facts and concepts and formulae and quotations</p>
<p>and definitions your mind will do a fine job of filing</p>

<br />
<p>these away for later recall, but you have to cast</p>
<p>mentally regularly every school day to be ready for the eventual</p>
<p>test or examination. Study today for tomorrow.</p>
<p> How much do we really retain from what we “learn?”</p>
<p>50%? 25%? 10%? 5%? I’m inclined to believe we retain<br /> more than we can rediscover through recall, The man who</p>
<p>plans for tomorrow is subconsciously reviewing an recalling</p>
<p>even as he plans ahead. Ideas flow the fastest</p>
<p>when the mental spigot is opened every day. I</p>
<p>have a theory that I believe to be fact – it is that you can</p>
<p>do what you will to do about 80% of the time. The rest of</p>
<p>the time you are unable to do so. Some are luckier than</p>
<p>others, but it is not blind fate that rules us, –</p>
<p>its a fate molded mainly by ourselves.</p>
<p> If you have dreams of what you want the</p>
<p>and your ambition is to fullfill those dreams ·</p>
<p>Fight for them – make them come true.</p>
<p> Some silly students believe you learn in college</p>
<p>what you have to know + then you go out + use your</p>
<p>knowledge. This just is not so. You leave here with a</p>
<p>bullied and bruised head + many facts though they</p>
<p>be filed in your mind will never be recalled. You</p>
<p>do leave even if its by flunking out –</p>
<p>with an enlarged view - of the world + of yourself.</p>
<p> If college in some way or another shapes your</p>
<p>awareness, improves your scope of choice or discrimination,</p>
<p>and if it enlarges your frame of reference, you are</p>
<p>in a much better condition to do battle to make</p>
<p>your dreams concrete.</p>
<p> Now you are here in a good college and</p>
<p>you are attending to major in a department that</p>
<p>believes that in lite you are here it is our</p>
<p>professional duty to help you find yourself.</p>
<p>It is our duty to get you to find out just how much you can do by pushing</p>
<p>you now and then to capacity. The idea is not</p>
<br />
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<br />
<p>to break you but to be the making of you. We are</p>
<p>often looked at as sadists or worse – as though</p>
<p>we get our kicks out of torturing the students. The opposite</p>
<p>is true.</p>
<p>The fun in teaching is seeing ideas take hold + minds</p>
<p>grow and develop.</p>
<p> The longer I teach the better I know one cannot</p>
<p>assess or prognose the future of the potential of</p>
<p>a student. A dullard may catch fire. If the demon</p>
<p>will can be set afire, the mind can be made to do</p>
<p>wonders. You are born again. To do this is to</p>
<p>find out who you are + what you are. You must be able to</p>
<p>slip out of your skin and take an objective look</p>
<p>at you + at the state of affairs in which you will be</p>
<p>projected.</p>
<p> Some believe it is better not to play a game</p>
<p>than to risk playing and losing. The only</p>
<p>way one improves his batting average is to play the</p>
<p>game more often.</p>
<p> This earthly life shifted of all the transient</p>
<p>frivolity is pretty frightening. We are born so</p>
<p>that we can die and death is frightfully final</p>
<p>to us earth men. Some people inclined many people</p>
<p>prefer to sit down, live quietly, + wait to their</p>
<p>name is called to board a bus to eternity. They</p>
<p>are the pitied. What do they ever really enjoy. How</p>
<p>many big moments do they ever have.</p>
<p>Living is more fun than anything. So for as we have</p>
<p>we only live one. The good Lord has probably put</p>
<p>more talent in you than you will ever discover. But</p>
<p>aren’t you curious to see how much you live.</p>
<p> Make up your mind to have one helluva worthwhile</p>
<p>time on this earth. Decide what you want to do + where</p>
<p>you want to be when you are 40 years old. There’s truth to</p>
<p>the old saying that in later life begins. Work now to</p>
<p>make the most of the later years.</p>
<br />
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<br />
<p> Every year you complete here w/ a creditable academic</p>
<p>average of 2.0 or better – you have banked $2,500</p>
<p>on your future education which you can cash in by fellowship</p>
<p>subsidization in grad school. Who can afford to throw</p>
<p>away $2,500 or a year of his life? Alas, how many do just that.</p>
<p> In planning for tomorrow your competitive senses</p>
<p>come to the fore. You want to achieve. There’s fun</p>
<p>in it even if you do not win every time. In</p>
<p>the beautiful cemetery at Lexington, Va. is an</p>
<p>epitaph on a spinster’s monument that reads:</p>
<p> “She did the best she could” And I bet she did.</p>
<p> I have thought about Mrs. Demarches? Beacon? almost</p>
<p>every day since I was touched by her magnificent</p>
<p>personality. I thought of her especially as I sat in the</p>
<p>great theatre of Oberammergau in 1960. An elderly</p>
<p>lady – I would say about 78 years old - sat beside me during</p>
<p>the afternoon portion of the performance. She entered +</p>
<p>sad down beside me in high spirits. She comforted the</p>
<p>lad lived to make this day come true. This was her great</p>
<p>moment. About 10 minutes after the performance had started I</p>
<p>cast a glance at the elderly lady only to see that she was fast</p>
<p>asleep. Truly for her, anticipation was greater than realization.</p>
<p>Her tired body just was not up to remaining awake. The</p>
<p>fun + the pleasure of seeing that she got herself to Oberammmergau</p>
<p>was the important thing – not the performance. The great moments</p>
<p>in one’s life are individually brief – few + far between for some – close</p>
<p>together for others – but collectively the great moments are</p>
<p>probably less than 00.01 percent of your conscious existence. Unless</p>
<p>somehow you learn how to get great joy out of uphill plugging</p>
<p>+ working toward some sense of goals life will be empty. The power is</p>
<p>within you to do what you will to do. If you can harness</p>
<p>that power to make it work for you You will have justified</p>
<p>your existence on this earth.</p>
<p> There is a power that is greater than you, this I</p>
<p>really believe. In 1954 I discovered a graduating senior had</p>
<br />
<p>[Page 5]</p>
<br />
<p>made off with some books belonging to the school. I was so upset</p>
<p>by this that I penned him a hot letter telling him what</p>
<p>I would do if he did not apologize + make amends by</p>
<p>promising never to do it again. Within 5 minutes of the</p>
<p>time I mailed that letter, Someone had me up in my own</p>
<p>attic delving in a trunk for something I forgot what —</p>
<p>but in the process I was confronted with possession</p>
<p>of a book that did not belong to me - one that I hastily</p>
<p>saw returned to its rightful place. There is a Power</p>
<p>that works for good in all of us. If one can access</p>
<p>his own talents and get them working in a competitive way</p>
<p>with the Power we cannot control but which controls us,</p>
<p>there is little we cannot do.</p>
<p> The great men of history have possessed a sense</p>
<p>of their histories being even as they lived. If</p>
<p>you tie your wagon to a star + work to reach the</p>
<p>goal you have set - you have given your life meaning</p>
<p>but perspective and some historicity – and in the</p>
<p>process if you do so I assure you that you will have</p>

<p>HOW TO CATCH A GENIUS</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Prologue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Professor C. (for Claude) Sidney Magnabrayne, now an associate professor</p>
<p>of forensics at the Covington, Kentucky, Center for The Ohio State Uni-</p>
<p>versity is on campus for two days at Virginia Tech, hereinafter known</p>
<p>as the university, for a faculty interview for a position in the Department</p>
<p>of Urban Forensics. He has just concluded a long and tiring day</p>
<p>that virtually terminates his visit and tomorrow morning his host, Dr.</p>
<p>George A. Blurt who is Chairman of the Department at Virginia Tech, will</p>
<p>hopefully, make his pitch to hire Sid Magnabrayne while driving the</p>
<p>latter to Roanoke to catch his plane.</p>
<p>Our guest has returned to his suite at the Lake Terrace Hilton from</p>
<p>an evening in the home of the Blurts where he was beautifully wined</p>
<p>and dined by the charming Mrs. Blurt. The evening went fine through</p>
<p>dinner, but Blurt, an uncompromising Beethoven buff, was insisting</p>
<p>that his guest endure listening to all those symphonies. Fortunately</p>
<p>for Dr. Magnabrayne, prolonged torture was avoided because of a local</p>
<p>power failure that cut off the record playing in the midst of the</p>
<p>especially redundant Sixth. They did not play the Fifth because they</p>
<p>killed that before dinner. Just about that time, Mrs. Blurt emerged</p>
<p>from the kitchen only to be asked by George to please drive Magnabrayne</p>
<p>back to the motel, because he did not think he should drive so soon</p>
<p>after dinner (or maybe because of what he had before dinner.) Mrs. Blurt</p>
<p>dutifully drives her guest back to the Lake Terrace Hilton. Just as</p>
<p>they arrive at the motel, the town power comes back on and Magnabrayne</p>
<p>says thanks and good night to his charming hostess.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>ACT I</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scene 1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sid Magnabrayne, all alone now, rushes into the motel room to call his</p>
<p>wife, and he's already 10 minutes late on the promised call. As Scene</p>
<p>1 opens, we find Sid leafing the pages in the local phone book for the</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky Area Code. So he dials 606----then 5-5-5-­-</p>
<p>then 1-2-1-2. (For those unfamiliar with Long Distance dialing, what</p>
<p>Sid is trying to do is find out his own phone number which was changed</p>
<p>recently---as a matter of fact about 26 months ago.) The number he is</p>
<p>calling will give him his phone number.He knows this from experience.</p>
<p>He begins to speak:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Operator, would you give me the phone number of Dr. C. Sidney Magna-­-</p>
<p>brayne in Covington Heights............No, I'm sorry I've forgotten the</p>
<p>street address but we're the only Magnabraynes in Covington if I do say</p>
<p>so.......Well thank you operator for your compliment, but we are not the</p>
<p>only Magnabraynes in Kentucky.......I know there are two in Lexington...</p>
<p>.......669-5000; thank you very much operator, it was nice talking to</p>
<p>you too. (The phone in Covington rings.) Tillie? Is that you dear?</p>
<p>This is Claudie......I wanted to tell you about my visit before I went</p>
<p>nighty nite. Yes, dear,....I used the SCOPE......matter of fact I took</p>
<p>an extra swig in the Men's Room just before going in to see the Vice</p>
<p>President.......Oh, he was fine, we talked all hour about Dave Brubeck,</p>
<p>a friend of his, I gathered......No, I didn't find out much about the V.P.,</p>
<p>but I had the sneaking feeling that behind all that Brubeck stuff was</p>
<p>a mental x-ray machine that was tuned on-----and on me.......Hope I'm</p>
<p>okay.......I tell you one thing, Tillie?.......Right, I sure wouldn't</p>
<p>want to get in a poker game with him...........why he'd know every card you</p>
<p>had without even looking!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tillie, they say there's 10,000 people here, but it isn't like Broad</p>
<p>Street in Covington, I'll tell you that......Town's dead as a doornail</p>
<p>until about noon, then everyone must get out of his cave and get in his</p>
<p>car to go somewhere.....Traffic’s murder.....Tillie, it's the least bit</p>
<p>primitive........No, I'm not being unfair because I was going to add</p>
<p>that it is also clean. Tillie, the sky is blue, real blue, deep blue,</p>
<p>with beautiful clouds.......They all lit up just before dinner; and</p>
<p>Tillie so was the Chairman; if I had downed what he did I would have</p>
<p>been stoned. Tillie, the country is beautiful here. All this green</p>
<p>grass, no coal smoke, just green grass and big buildings......Most</p>
<p>of the university buildings are stone and they call it N & W Gothic.</p>
<p>.....Ever hear of that in Art School, Tillie? They’ve even got a</p>
<p>lake on the campus. No, I didn't see any boats.</p>
<p> Mrs. Blurt, Oh, Tillie---she's a doll---almost as pretty as you</p>
<p>and nearly as good a cook, but don't....no, no,now don't worry about</p>
<p>my doing that. Tillie, you will love this place. The women go to</p>
<p>parties and play bridge all day long. Sometimes, they go to four</p>
<p>parties a day!.......Think of that, maybe you could gain a little weight</p>
<p>here, you know the doctor said you were too underweight to be healthy.</p>
<p>Sure, there's a DAR and also there a D of C too. No, there isn't</p>
<p>much drinking here, except the Chairman, Dr. Blurt, looks to me like</p>
<p>he might be overdoing it, but maybe he was just testing me. There are</p>
<p>more Women's clubs than I ever heard of. Tillie, what's an inter-</p>
<p>mediate woman? They have a club here. I asked the Dean, and he didn't</p>
<p>know, or said he didn't.......Well the work looks pleasant enough, but</p>
<p>what really sends me is this escalation thing on salaries. The sky's</p>
<p>the limit, Tillie....No telling how far I may go. No we won’t need two</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cars, no need at all. Highland Park, the section I liked best and</p>
<p>which Dr. Blurt recommended strongly, is within sight of the campus.</p>
<p>Sure, I can walk every day, and it will be good for me......You can</p>
<p>have the car every day and just drive from one party to another all</p>
<p>day long. Tillie, a funny thing happened this evening. Old Blurt</p>
<p>got pretty well oiled before dinner, and after dinner pulled me in</p>
<p>to hear his new stereo all loaded up with....Yep, Beethoven....You</p>
<p>know how I despise him. Well just when I was about to die of</p>
<p>boredom, Providence cut off the record player and we were plunged into</p>
<p>darkness. I never recall a power failure anywhere you and I have</p>
<p>lived......When I remarked about it, old Blurt said the other V.P.</p>
<p>had it turned off every now and then just to let the townspeople</p>
<p>know who was running things here. I doubt it is so, but the university</p>
<p>owns the power plant. ......No, Tillie, I haven't yet, I'll make a note</p>
<p>right now to ask Blurt tomorrow while we drive to the airport. I'm</p>
<p>sure they must have a campus school for gifted children. Certainly we</p>
<p>aren't the only university couple with unusual children. I saw the</p>
<p>Town grade schools----sort of ranch style, but I think they are for the</p>
<p>ordinary children. Your church is well established here, pretty snappy</p>
<p>looking church. But there isn't any Unitarian Church that I could find.</p>
<p>They say there are three Baptist churches in this town. Imagine that many</p>
<p>Baptists in a town of 10,000........The Dean, no, he's a Presbyterian.....</p>
<p>Psychology, but he never said what kind........No, he didn't have a couch</p>
<p>in his office. No, he didn't even talk like a psychologist. I met</p>
<p>his wife; she's a honey too, Tillie, and I bet she can keep the Dean in</p>
<p>line. Say, Tillie, you remember the Sunday we drove over to Pikeville</p>
<p>in the Coal Fields and saw all those hill-billies. Well, there's plenty</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 5]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>of them here, but these ones are kind of quaint and cute. One I saw</p>
<p>couldn't have had his hat off in 10 years! Yep, they let 'em run loose,</p>
<p>so far as I could tell.</p>
<p> Tillie, we will not be making much more money here at least until we</p>
<p>escalate a bit, but they say living is cheap. I asked several faculty</p>
<p>men and all of them said food was very cheap here. Cigarettes they said</p>
<p>were high, but food was low. I didn't get into any supermarkets but</p>
<p>I think they were telling me the truth. One even said he hadn't</p>
<p>increased his wife's allowance for food in 10 years: Maybe being at</p>
<p>the end of the line so to speak, things are cheaper here. Well the</p>
<p>newspapers cannot measure up to the Enquirer, Tillie. I saw one</p>
<p>Roanoke paper, picked it up and happened to look at the back page</p>
<p>and thought I had hold of a copy of the Policemen's Gazette's</p>
<p>a joke, Tillie. The County paper you wouldn't believe if I told you</p>
<p>about it, but I'm bringing home a couple of copies. The editorial</p>
<p>page is a riot. You could act some of the letters out and get thrown in</p>
<p>jail. I surmise there's as much hostility between the county seat</p>
<p>and Blacksburg as there is between Cincinnati and Covington. No,</p>
<p>you have to take the Richmond paper to get the daily Peanuts.</p>
<p> I know it will be a bit primitive here, Tillie, but remember it's clean,</p>
<p>really clean. Now I know it is going to be tough being away from Cinnsy</p>
<p>and Mother and Daddy, but look at it this way---we will only be 2 hours</p>
<p>from Covington and Cinnsy. You and I can buzz back here many times on</p>
<p>week-ends in the President's plane. They says he's about to buy a Lear</p>
<p>Jet. Imagine flying to Cinnsy sitting in the President's seat with you</p>
<p>beside me.-......Of course, there's culture here!.....They had the</p>
<p>Beach Boys, Lionel Hampton, and Dave Brinkley all here in the same Month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 6]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No, I didn't notice the girls here....now you know I never think about</p>
<p>things like that. All I can say they are scarce, but I hear they are moving</p>
<p>in a big contingent of women this fall.......Well, if it is that imbalanced,</p>
<p>I'm sure that H E W will bring them into line.</p>
<p>There's a big future here in forensics; even a lot of the faculty need</p>
<p>coaching........It's okay then for me to accept tomorrow, honey? Well,</p>
<p>that's sweet of you and I trust your judgment too, dear. Don't forget now,</p>
<p>meet me at the airport at 3:10. Bye! Bye!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Scene 2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(In Blurt's study) George Blurt dashes for the phone the moment the</p>
<p>power failure is over and calls his Dean to get final clearance on</p>
<p>talking turkey with Sid Magnabrayne. Blurt is fed up with trying to</p>
<p>recruit a forensics professor; this is the fourth one he's had here</p>
<p>in a month; and the other three were dolts. Magnabrayne is a decent</p>
<p>chap, a bit mousy, but decent;.....never said a thing out of the way</p>
<p>in two whole days. Sure hope the Dean goes along with a good salary for</p>
<p>Sid.....he'll need one with six gifted kids. Let 'em raise hell out</p>
<p>in Highland Park, McBryde Village ought to be a safe distance away</p>
<p>from the little monsters. Blurt dials 552-2885, and a cheery voice</p>
<p>answers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“ Wynn, this is Gabby Blurt, ....may I speak to Les, please?.....Hello,;</p>
<p>Les? This is Gabby! I'm calling about this chap Magnabrayne we had</p>
<p>here for this new spot in forensics.....Sure, I'm sure we have a position</p>
<p>for forensics.....Yep, I double checked. Did you like Magnabrayne?</p>
<p>How'd he strike you?.........I know he didn't strike you....Please, Dean,</p>
<p>I'm tired, don't kid around......I said did you like Sid Magnabrayne...</p>
<p>Yeh, Magnabrayne from Ohio State?........How could I be expected to know how</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky, got a branch of Ohio State! The fact is they did,</p>
<p>and Magnabrayne's there, and he's done a good job teaching those Ohio</p>
<p>wetbacks how to behave in open discussions. No, now I didn't! Of</p>
<p>course not! Now, Dean, you cannot ask a prospective faculty member a</p>
<p>personal question like that. He's got academic freedom, you know.....</p>
<p>Okay, I know we need more Democrats for better balance, but don't depend on</p>
<p>me to do it all, Dean....Remember, I've hired four darned Demos in a row,</p>
<p>and I do not want to be known as a party man.........No, no, no let's</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 8]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>not get off on the subject of any of my parties. Let's talk about</p>
<p>Magnabrayne....No, they were not wild, no I did not do that. Now</p>
<p>about Sid Magnabrayne, Dean, I think he's a comer!.. I beg your</p>
<p>pardon Dean, I didn't say swinger, I said comer. You know you're</p>
<p>being kind of rough on me tonight......Yes, yes, I know one of his</p>
<p>plays was banned by the Catholic Church, but so was Tom Jones and you</p>
<p>really raved over that. Oh, yes your did. I noted it and wrote it</p>
<p>down in my diary that you did. Now, Magnabrayne has this consultancy</p>
<p>in the Cincinnati Dramatics Society production opening in the Spring,</p>
<p>and Sid's going to have to go back to Cincinnati every other Saturday</p>
<p>and stay with it for six months until things are past dress rehearsal.</p>
<p>......The question he asked was: can he use the President's plane</p>
<p>on week-ends if Cinnsy picks up the tab on it, or would he have to</p>
<p>fly Piedmont?................Well, I'll be darned. You're joking.</p>
<p>.....No foolin'.......Aw, come on, Les, quit kidding me....Really?</p>
<p>Now let me write that down. Piedmont's coming into Blacksburg July</p>
<p>1. A new jet runway? ......Where will it go?....Across the</p>
<p>campus? ....Oh, down past Henry Heth's house at Whitethorn!...Jet</p>
<p>service with special faculty rates? Well, there's no limit to what</p>
<p>Marshall can do. Wonderful. Now about Magnabrayne's consultancy,</p>
<p>you have no objection? Of course, I don't have any questions about</p>
<p>his going to Cinnsy every other Saturday just for play practice. You</p>
<p>psychologists read something into every act; its a professional</p>
<p>obligation. Now you saw Sid Magnabrayne, he's no Errol Flynn. Now</p>
<p>what's King Farouk got to do with it. Magnabrayne is a thin man.</p>
<p>Now do I have your support on the offer I outlined I would like to make</p>
<p>to Magnabrayne when we went over his vita.......Well why not?.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 9]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's wrong with that? Lots of men marry older women. Two years is</p>
<p>not so much difference. Anyway, she probably shaves a little off her</p>
<p>age when she talks to other women........No, I did not conceal the</p>
<p>fact his father was a Mormon. It's right on his vita. No, Dean,</p>
<p>just because he's a Mormon doesn't mean he's a bigamist even by our</p>
<p>standards!.....Just look at George Romney! Sorry about that Dean,</p>
<p>I did not mean to bring up Republicans again, it just slipped out.</p>
<p>Now, can't we forget the stab about one of my parties when I got a</p>
<p>little out of hand. I apologized.......No, that is not correct, Dean.</p>
<p>.......No...........No........I probably buy less in the C-burg</p>
<p>ABC store than any other department head.....No, I'm including him.</p>
<p>........Well, I think its the right thing to do, if you buy it in</p>
<p>Roanoke, nobody knows about it up here......I'm willing to drop</p>
<p>it if you are, and I hope you are, Dean......Now about Magnabrayne,</p>
<p>did you know he has an I. Q. of 190....One of his old professors wrote</p>
<p>me about it........Well, I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you sooner,</p>
<p>but we have so many smart people in our department that I sort of took</p>
<p>it for granted that you would know he was way up there. Well, now,</p>
<p>that's fine. Your going along with me on Sid Magnabrayne is something</p>
<p>you will not regret. Dean, hasn't this been an exciting year for</p>
<p>recruiting so many real scholars? Well, thanks! I try to do my job the</p>
<p>best I can with Myrtle's help. Good night, sir!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 10]</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Epilogue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now every case of faculty recruitment does not go as smoothly as</p>
<p>this one. The decisive factors in faculty interviews are unpre-</p>
<p>dictable. We men cannot take all the credit for the success. We</p>
<p>cannot take more than half the credit, probably not even half.</p>
<p>Well, possibly we should have some credit. But we would not be</p>
<p>able to win these men over without your efforts. You are all</p>
<p>real charmers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who can say that Mrs. Blurt may not have rendered the telling</p>
<p>act of consummate kindness in driving Sid Magnabrayne back to his</p>
<p>motel after the power went off. You know she just could have called</p>
<p>the Vice President and asked him to cut the power off and thereby</p>
<p>end those awful Beethoven symphonies. Sort of funny the way that</p>
<p>power came on just as she drove her guest up to the motel. He could</p>
<p>have stalked out of the house and headed back for Covington if that power</p>
<p>had not gone off during the playing of the redundant Sixth. Or perhaps</p>
<p>something she said about Blacksburg just convinced Sid Magnabrayne</p>
<p>that B-burg was the place for his Tillie and their six geniuses.</p>
<p>Remember, Sid Magnabrayne just could be President here some day,</p>
<p>and if my surmises are true, wouldn't Myrtle Blurt have a reason to smile</p>
<p>knowing that she helped get old Sid Magnabrayne to sign. We will never</p>
<p>know, and perhaps for us men it is well that we will not ever know.</p>
<p>Suffice it to say---it take's a heap o' doin' to recruit a brilliant</p>
<p>staff member and do it in such a way that he never knows what hit him.</p>
<p>To you ladies: We need your ever-lovin' help if we are to continue to:</p>
<p> Wine 'em--------Dine 'em-------and Sign 'em</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Professor C. (for Claude) Sidney Magnabrayne, now an associate professor</p>
<p>of forensics at the Covington, Kentucky, Center for The Ohio State Uni-</p>
<p>versity is on campus for two days at Virginia Tech, hereinafter known</p>

<p>George A. Blurt who is Chairman of the Department at Virginia Tech, will</p>
<p>hopefully, make his pitch to hire Sid Magnabrayne while driving the</p>
<p>latter to Roanoke to catch his plane.</p>
<p>Our guest has returned to his suite at the Lake Terrace Hilton from</p>
<p>an evening in the home of the Blurts where he was beautifully wined</p>
<p>and dined by the charming Mrs. Blurt. The evening went fine through</p>
<p>dinner, but Blurt, an uncompromising Beethoven buff, was insisting</p>
<p>that his guest endure listening to all those symphonies. Fortunately</p>
<p>for Dr. Magnabrayne, prolonged torture was avoided because of a local</p>
<p>power failure that cut off the record playing in the midst of the</p>
<p>especially redundant Sixth. They did not play the Fifth because they</p>
<p>killed that before dinner. Just about that time, Mrs. Blurt emerged</p>
<p>from the kitchen only to be asked by George to please drive Magnabrayne</p>
<p>back to the motel, because he did not think he should drive so soon</p>
<p>after dinner (or maybe because of what he had before dinner.) Mrs. Blurt</p>
<p>dutifully drives her guest back to the Lake Terrace Hilton. Just as</p>
<p>they arrive at the motel, the town power comes back on and Magnabrayne</p>
<p>says thanks and good night to his charming hostess.</p>

<p>ACT I</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scene 1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sid Magnabrayne, all alone now, rushes into the motel room to call his</p>
<p>wife, and he's already 10 minutes late on the promised call. As Scene</p>
<p>1 opens, we find Sid leafing the pages in the local phone book for the</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky Area Code. So he dials 606----then 5-5-5-­-</p>
<p>then 1-2-1-2. (For those unfamiliar with Long Distance dialing, what</p>
<p>Sid is trying to do is find out his own phone number which was changed</p>
<p>recently---as a matter of fact about 26 months ago.) The number he is</p>
<p>calling will give him his phone number.He knows this from experience.</p>
<p>He begins to speak:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Operator, would you give me the phone number of Dr. C. Sidney Magna-­-</p>
<p>brayne in Covington Heights............No, I'm sorry I've forgotten the</p>
<p>street address but we're the only Magnabraynes in Covington if I do say</p>
<p>so.......Well thank you operator for your compliment, but we are not the</p>
<p>only Magnabraynes in Kentucky.......I know there are two in Lexington...</p>
<p>.......669-5000; thank you very much operator, it was nice talking to</p>
<p>you too. (The phone in Covington rings.) Tillie? Is that you dear?</p>
<p>This is Claudie......I wanted to tell you about my visit before I went</p>
<p>nighty nite. Yes, dear,....I used the SCOPE......matter of fact I took</p>
<p>an extra swig in the Men's Room just before going in to see the Vice</p>
<p>President.......Oh, he was fine, we talked all hour about Dave Brubeck,</p>
<p>a friend of his, I gathered......No, I didn't find out much about the V.P.,</p>
<p>but I had the sneaking feeling that behind all that Brubeck stuff was</p>
<p>a mental x-ray machine that was tuned on-----and on me.......Hope I'm</p>
<p>okay.......I tell you one thing, Tillie?.......Right, I sure wouldn't</p>
<p>want to get in a poker game with him...........why he'd know every card you</p>
<p>had without even looking!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tillie, they say there's 10,000 people here, but it isn't like Broad</p>
<p>Street in Covington, I'll tell you that......Town's dead as a doornail</p>
<p>until about noon, then everyone must get out of his cave and get in his</p>
<p>car to go somewhere.....Traffic’s murder.....Tillie, it's the least bit</p>
<p>primitive........No, I'm not being unfair because I was going to add</p>
<p>that it is also clean. Tillie, the sky is blue, real blue, deep blue,</p>
<p>with beautiful clouds.......They all lit up just before dinner; and</p>
<p>Tillie so was the Chairman; if I had downed what he did I would have</p>
<p>been stoned. Tillie, the country is beautiful here. All this green</p>
<p>grass, no coal smoke, just green grass and big buildings......Most</p>
<p>of the university buildings are stone and they call it N & W Gothic.</p>
<p>.....Ever hear of that in Art School, Tillie? They’ve even got a</p>
<p>lake on the campus. No, I didn't see any boats.</p>
<p> Mrs. Blurt, Oh, Tillie---she's a doll---almost as pretty as you</p>
<p>and nearly as good a cook, but don't....no, no,now don't worry about</p>
<p>my doing that. Tillie, you will love this place. The women go to</p>
<p>parties and play bridge all day long. Sometimes, they go to four</p>
<p>parties a day!.......Think of that, maybe you could gain a little weight</p>
<p>here, you know the doctor said you were too underweight to be healthy.</p>
<p>Sure, there's a DAR and also there a D of C too. No, there isn't</p>
<p>much drinking here, except the Chairman, Dr. Blurt, looks to me like</p>
<p>he might be overdoing it, but maybe he was just testing me. There are</p>
<p>more Women's clubs than I ever heard of. Tillie, what's an inter-</p>
<p>mediate woman? They have a club here. I asked the Dean, and he didn't</p>
<p>know, or said he didn't.......Well the work looks pleasant enough, but</p>
<p>what really sends me is this escalation thing on salaries. The sky's</p>
<p>the limit, Tillie....No telling how far I may go. No we won’t need two</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cars, no need at all. Highland Park, the section I liked best and</p>
<p>which Dr. Blurt recommended strongly, is within sight of the campus.</p>
<p>Sure, I can walk every day, and it will be good for me......You can</p>
<p>have the car every day and just drive from one party to another all</p>
<p>day long. Tillie, a funny thing happened this evening. Old Blurt</p>
<p>got pretty well oiled before dinner, and after dinner pulled me in</p>
<p>to hear his new stereo all loaded up with....Yep, Beethoven....You</p>
<p>know how I despise him. Well just when I was about to die of</p>
<p>boredom, Providence cut off the record player and we were plunged into</p>
<p>darkness. I never recall a power failure anywhere you and I have</p>
<p>lived......When I remarked about it, old Blurt said the other V.P.</p>
<p>had it turned off every now and then just to let the townspeople</p>
<p>know who was running things here. I doubt it is so, but the university</p>
<p>owns the power plant. ......No, Tillie, I haven't yet, I'll make a note</p>
<p>right now to ask Blurt tomorrow while we drive to the airport. I'm</p>
<p>sure they must have a campus school for gifted children. Certainly we</p>
<p>aren't the only university couple with unusual children. I saw the</p>
<p>Town grade schools----sort of ranch style, but I think they are for the</p>
<p>ordinary children. Your church is well established here, pretty snappy</p>
<p>looking church. But there isn't any Unitarian Church that I could find.</p>
<p>They say there are three Baptist churches in this town. Imagine that many</p>
<p>Baptists in a town of 10,000........The Dean, no, he's a Presbyterian.....</p>
<p>Psychology, but he never said what kind........No, he didn't have a couch</p>
<p>in his office. No, he didn't even talk like a psychologist. I met</p>
<p>his wife; she's a honey too, Tillie, and I bet she can keep the Dean in</p>
<p>line. Say, Tillie, you remember the Sunday we drove over to Pikeville</p>
<p>in the Coal Fields and saw all those hill-billies. Well, there's plenty</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 5]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>of them here, but these ones are kind of quaint and cute. One I saw</p>
<p>couldn't have had his hat off in 10 years! Yep, they let 'em run loose,</p>
<p>so far as I could tell.</p>
<p> Tillie, we will not be making much more money here at least until we</p>
<p>escalate a bit, but they say living is cheap. I asked several faculty</p>
<p>men and all of them said food was very cheap here. Cigarettes they said</p>
<p>were high, but food was low. I didn't get into any supermarkets but</p>
<p>I think they were telling me the truth. One even said he hadn't</p>
<p>increased his wife's allowance for food in 10 years: Maybe being at</p>
<p>the end of the line so to speak, things are cheaper here. Well the</p>
<p>newspapers cannot measure up to the Enquirer, Tillie. I saw one</p>
<p>Roanoke paper, picked it up and happened to look at the back page</p>
<p>and thought I had hold of a copy of the Policemen's Gazette's</p>
<p>a joke, Tillie. The County paper you wouldn't believe if I told you</p>
<p>about it, but I'm bringing home a couple of copies. The editorial</p>
<p>page is a riot. You could act some of the letters out and get thrown in</p>
<p>jail. I surmise there's as much hostility between the county seat</p>
<p>and Blacksburg as there is between Cincinnati and Covington. No,</p>
<p>you have to take the Richmond paper to get the daily Peanuts.</p>
<p> I know it will be a bit primitive here, Tillie, but remember it's clean,</p>
<p>really clean. Now I know it is going to be tough being away from Cinnsy</p>
<p>and Mother and Daddy, but look at it this way---we will only be 2 hours</p>
<p>from Covington and Cinnsy. You and I can buzz back here many times on</p>
<p>week-ends in the President's plane. They says he's about to buy a Lear</p>
<p>Jet. Imagine flying to Cinnsy sitting in the President's seat with you</p>
<p>beside me.-......Of course, there's culture here!.....They had the</p>
<p>Beach Boys, Lionel Hampton, and Dave Brinkley all here in the same Month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 6]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No, I didn't notice the girls here....now you know I never think about</p>
<p>things like that. All I can say they are scarce, but I hear they are moving</p>
<p>in a big contingent of women this fall.......Well, if it is that imbalanced,</p>
<p>I'm sure that H E W will bring them into line.</p>
<p>There's a big future here in forensics; even a lot of the faculty need</p>
<p>coaching........It's okay then for me to accept tomorrow, honey? Well,</p>
<p>that's sweet of you and I trust your judgment too, dear. Don't forget now,</p>
<p>meet me at the airport at 3:10. Bye! Bye!</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Scene 2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(In Blurt's study) George Blurt dashes for the phone the moment the</p>
<p>power failure is over and calls his Dean to get final clearance on</p>
<p>talking turkey with Sid Magnabrayne. Blurt is fed up with trying to</p>
<p>recruit a forensics professor; this is the fourth one he's had here</p>
<p>in a month; and the other three were dolts. Magnabrayne is a decent</p>
<p>chap, a bit mousy, but decent;.....never said a thing out of the way</p>
<p>in two whole days. Sure hope the Dean goes along with a good salary for</p>
<p>Sid.....he'll need one with six gifted kids. Let 'em raise hell out</p>
<p>in Highland Park, McBryde Village ought to be a safe distance away</p>
<p>from the little monsters. Blurt dials 552-2885, and a cheery voice</p>
<p>answers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“ Wynn, this is Gabby Blurt, ....may I speak to Les, please?.....Hello,;</p>
<p>Les? This is Gabby! I'm calling about this chap Magnabrayne we had</p>
<p>here for this new spot in forensics.....Sure, I'm sure we have a position</p>
<p>for forensics.....Yep, I double checked. Did you like Magnabrayne?</p>
<p>How'd he strike you?.........I know he didn't strike you....Please, Dean,</p>
<p>I'm tired, don't kid around......I said did you like Sid Magnabrayne...</p>
<p>Yeh, Magnabrayne from Ohio State?........How could I be expected to know how</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky, got a branch of Ohio State! The fact is they did,</p>
<p>and Magnabrayne's there, and he's done a good job teaching those Ohio</p>
<p>wetbacks how to behave in open discussions. No, now I didn't! Of</p>
<p>course not! Now, Dean, you cannot ask a prospective faculty member a</p>
<p>personal question like that. He's got academic freedom, you know.....</p>
<p>Okay, I know we need more Democrats for better balance, but don't depend on</p>
<p>me to do it all, Dean....Remember, I've hired four darned Demos in a row,</p>
<p>and I do not want to be known as a party man.........No, no, no let's</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 8]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>not get off on the subject of any of my parties. Let's talk about</p>
<p>Magnabrayne....No, they were not wild, no I did not do that. Now</p>
<p>about Sid Magnabrayne, Dean, I think he's a comer!.. I beg your</p>
<p>pardon Dean, I didn't say swinger, I said comer. You know you're</p>
<p>being kind of rough on me tonight......Yes, yes, I know one of his</p>
<p>plays was banned by the Catholic Church, but so was Tom Jones and you</p>
<p>really raved over that. Oh, yes your did. I noted it and wrote it</p>
<p>down in my diary that you did. Now, Magnabrayne has this consultancy</p>
<p>in the Cincinnati Dramatics Society production opening in the Spring,</p>
<p>and Sid's going to have to go back to Cincinnati every other Saturday</p>
<p>and stay with it for six months until things are past dress rehearsal.</p>
<p>......The question he asked was: can he use the President's plane</p>
<p>on week-ends if Cinnsy picks up the tab on it, or would he have to</p>
<p>fly Piedmont?................Well, I'll be darned. You're joking.</p>
<p>.....No foolin'.......Aw, come on, Les, quit kidding me....Really?</p>
<p>Now let me write that down. Piedmont's coming into Blacksburg July</p>
<p>1. A new jet runway? ......Where will it go?....Across the</p>
<p>campus? ....Oh, down past Henry Heth's house at Whitethorn!...Jet</p>
<p>service with special faculty rates? Well, there's no limit to what</p>
<p>Marshall can do. Wonderful. Now about Magnabrayne's consultancy,</p>
<p>you have no objection? Of course, I don't have any questions about</p>
<p>his going to Cinnsy every other Saturday just for play practice. You</p>
<p>psychologists read something into every act; its a professional</p>
<p>obligation. Now you saw Sid Magnabrayne, he's no Errol Flynn. Now</p>
<p>what's King Farouk got to do with it. Magnabrayne is a thin man.</p>
<p>Now do I have your support on the offer I outlined I would like to make</p>
<p>to Magnabrayne when we went over his vita.......Well why not?.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 9]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's wrong with that? Lots of men marry older women. Two years is</p>
<p>not so much difference. Anyway, she probably shaves a little off her</p>
<p>age when she talks to other women........No, I did not conceal the</p>
<p>fact his father was a Mormon. It's right on his vita. No, Dean,</p>
<p>just because he's a Mormon doesn't mean he's a bigamist even by our</p>
<p>standards!.....Just look at George Romney! Sorry about that Dean,</p>
<p>I did not mean to bring up Republicans again, it just slipped out.</p>
<p>Now, can't we forget the stab about one of my parties when I got a</p>
<p>little out of hand. I apologized.......No, that is not correct, Dean.</p>
<p>.......No...........No........I probably buy less in the C-burg</p>
<p>ABC store than any other department head.....No, I'm including him.</p>
<p>........Well, I think its the right thing to do, if you buy it in</p>
<p>Roanoke, nobody knows about it up here......I'm willing to drop</p>
<p>it if you are, and I hope you are, Dean......Now about Magnabrayne,</p>
<p>did you know he has an I. Q. of 190....One of his old professors wrote</p>
<p>me about it........Well, I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you sooner,</p>
<p>but we have so many smart people in our department that I sort of took</p>
<p>it for granted that you would know he was way up there. Well, now,</p>
<p>that's fine. Your going along with me on Sid Magnabrayne is something</p>
<p>you will not regret. Dean, hasn't this been an exciting year for</p>
<p>recruiting so many real scholars? Well, thanks! I try to do my job the</p>
<p>best I can with Myrtle's help. Good night, sir!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 10]</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Epilogue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now every case of faculty recruitment does not go as smoothly as</p>
<p>this one. The decisive factors in faculty interviews are unpre-</p>
<p>dictable. We men cannot take all the credit for the success. We</p>
<p>cannot take more than half the credit, probably not even half.</p>
<p>Well, possibly we should have some credit. But we would not be</p>
<p>able to win these men over without your efforts. You are all</p>
<p>real charmers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who can say that Mrs. Blurt may not have rendered the telling</p>
<p>act of consummate kindness in driving Sid Magnabrayne back to his</p>
<p>motel after the power went off. You know she just could have called</p>
<p>the Vice President and asked him to cut the power off and thereby</p>
<p>end those awful Beethoven symphonies. Sort of funny the way that</p>
<p>power came on just as she drove her guest up to the motel. He could</p>
<p>have stalked out of the house and headed back for Covington if that power</p>
<p>had not gone off during the playing of the redundant Sixth. Or perhaps</p>
<p>something she said about Blacksburg just convinced Sid Magnabrayne</p>
<p>that B-burg was the place for his Tillie and their six geniuses.</p>
<p>Remember, Sid Magnabrayne just could be President here some day,</p>
<p>and if my surmises are true, wouldn't Myrtle Blurt have a reason to smile</p>
<p>knowing that she helped get old Sid Magnabrayne to sign. We will never</p>
<p>know, and perhaps for us men it is well that we will not ever know.</p>
<p>Suffice it to say---it take's a heap o' doin' to recruit a brilliant</p>
<p>staff member and do it in such a way that he never knows what hit him.</p>
<p>To you ladies: We need your ever-lovin' help if we are to continue to:</p>
<p> Wine 'em--------Dine 'em-------and Sign 'em</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
