Independents
Urged To File
For Union Jobs
Filings for the Student Union
committees, which opened Tues
day, are hitting a record high.
Board members are well satis
fied with the interest being shown
in Union work. However, since
the Union is run for the benefit
of the entire student body, it is
felt that there should be a rep
resentative group working on the
committees.
The Union Activities group
wishes to encourage unaffiliated
students to participate in the fil
ings Friday. The booth will be
open in the main hall all day for
those who have not yet had an
opportunity to make their com
mittee choice.
Thursday and Friday will be
devoted to selecting from among
those who have filed students
who are best qualified for Union
work. The Activities committee
and directors will make choices
for chairmen and committee
members.

Show Produced
In One Week
By Jack Thornburg
Max Whittaker is working this
week on the first Experimental
Theater production: Waiting for
Lefty. This is to be a dash and
skurry production to end all dash
and skurry productions. The show
will be given after one week's
rehearsal; the cast learned their
lines in one day! Since it's being
done almost entirely by inexperi
enced people, this is little short of
miraculous.
Whittaker chose Lefty because
of its political importance today.
Dealing as it does with labor un
rest in general and the effects of
depression on labor's interest in
communism, he felt it to be ideal
for production at this time.
The show will be done almost
without scenery, the effects being
secured by the use of light in
stead of sets, thus giving an im
pressionistic flavor to the produc
tion. John Lubes will be light
manager, and all the complex job
of lighting will be upon his shoul
ders. be achieved by council control.
A motion was passed to hold the
junior and senior class president
and Honorary Colonel elections
on Oct. 19.
The Council moved to refer the
constitution of the Independent
Students Association to a com
mittee. The ISA was formerly the
Unifiliated Students association
Planning to join with the na
tional group, the USA chaiged
its name, revised its constitution
and submitted it to the Council.
Immediate action will be taken
by the committee. The Council
approved the constitution of the
Red Cross College Unit
Reviving the custom used be
fore the war, the Council grant
ed the Innocents authority to
choose Yell King.
