We might as well settle the
question of what this country
needs once and for all. The United
States needs a professional group
of barbers who can carry on an
Intelligent conversation while giv
ing you the once-over-lightly.
Shaving Soap-Box Orators.
But 99 percent of the barbers
seem to also be public speakers
who were thwarted of their true
lifework. They have long held the
reputation of being a talkative
group and not only held it but up
held it.
Just as a bathtub or shower in
variably calls forth music from
the shower taker's soul, so does the
wielding of the comb and scissors
let loose a torrent of words upon
politics, war, the farm problem,
government relief, and sports.
Many various reasons could be
advanced for talking. One that it
is an attempt to divert the cus
tomer from the business in hand
so that slight slips would go un
noticed. Another might be to help
keep the barber from succumbing
to minor temptations such as slic
ing an Adam's apple, shortening
the ears to fit the hair-cut, etc.
When a barber launches into a
phillipic on capital and labor rela
tions, it is all he can do to cut the
customer's hair or shave him. Thus
he has no time for interesting side
lights such as those mentioned
above.
The barbers nowadays have one
excuse to offer for talking loqua
ciously. Customers are so few
and far between that the barber

Elizabethan Age Portrayed.
The coming play is an excellent
analytical study of the character
of the Elizabethan age and of the
people who lived at that time. The
playwright spent much time in re
search for the work which shows
a freely used imagination coupled
with accurate detail to portray
some authentic history.
A large cast has been chosen to
support Mrs. Yinger and Mr,

'Anything Goes' as Attire
For 'Story Book' Ball
Takes Shape.
One of the gayest, and certainly
the most weird of the campus post
formal season parties, the tradi
tional Alpha Tau Omega Story
book Ball, slated for Saturday
night, has student party-goers
scratching their heads over the
matter of costumes.
Anything goes, is the motto of
the party, and almost everything
does. The only costume not admit
ted at the door the night of the
dance when properly accompan
ied by a bid is the conventional
spring party attire. Fancy dress of
every period and every nationality
mixes about on the dance floo.
Costumes this year, for some
reason, seem to go in pairs or in
sets of from four to eight. For in
stance there's that A. T. O.-Delta
Gamma quartet of Phil Romig,
Virginia Vssey, Glen Clark and
Evelyn Young ,who will attend the
party in bathing suits 4md sandals
and long beach cnata of toweling.

is, if the complex negotiations
afoot for the proper masks and
outfit do not fall thru. Undertak

Since the opening of the isth an

The collection, which will be on

Cubistic Works Shown.
On the west wall of gallery A,
are to be found the surrealis

scapes and portraits of the rest
of the room. Chiiieo explained
surrealism in this way: "In or

subjects, all thoughts, nil Ideas
