JOHN CLARK SPEAKS TO STATE the play's the thiim; "Oh, George, do we have to sit clear xip in the balcony to sec Hades' Ladies?" "Sure, I don't like to be too close to the orchestra when they come out strong in order to hide a weak singing voice. Besides, you can do more whispering up in the bnlcony." "Oh, that's good. If there's any thing I hate to do it's to watch a Kosmet show without being able to talk about the costumes and what good looking legs one boy has or what kind of a singing voice a character has." "Say, we just made it in time. There goes the orchestra into action." "George, what a cute way for a nlav to begin. Don t you think. i "Quiet, they're explaining the Jlot." "George, what did that ghost on the left say that made everybody laugh?" "Shut up. They wore just mak ing some spirited remarks." "George, make that boy in front of me sit still. Kvery time I get fixed so I can see, he moves in front of my eyes." "How about the guy in back of you?" "Well, of all. ." "Keep still, willya?' There's some good linos here." Speak of the Devil. "Well, George, here we arc, five minutes in the second scene and I haven't seen Satan yet. When oh! I can't see, that flash blinded me! Well, speak of the Devil and there he is! Gee, 1 doesn't he have good leg k. , George 1" . "Quiet!" "George, what arc you and everybody else laughing at? I missed It." '; "Why, Satan said 'a guilty conscience brings back pleasant memories.' I'll bet that's the best line in the whole show." ' "Say, that's a swingy number, 1 George. And all those other cute J little devils in the chorus racing S each other to see who gets thru first, isn't that funny?" "You're right there." 1 "George, who Is that man that j )ust came In and Is standing over A there on the side to our left at the j balcony entrance? He seems to be ' looking for somebody and rubbing '' his hands together." i "Why shouldn't he? That's the ! business manager of the show. A ;! full house is his favorite poker 5 hand, and it looks like he drew J his favorite tonight." '! "Oh, is this the intermission al Oeady? My. it's warm up here. Do you suppose the fact that the play is about Hades maKcs it seem warmer up here?" "Maybe." No Cold Refreshments. "George, why doesn't some body come around and sell ice cream bars or something?" "I dunno. Now, will you please look at your program while there's light so you can tell what guys are playing wnat characters and won't have to ask me every time a new one comes on the stage? Here goes act two. Now be a good girl and let me hear some of these lines, will you? No, lady, I didn't mean you, I was talking ,1 to my date." "George, I don't like all these cracks about women being all alike, do you?" "Hnn I iimt came to be en- tertained, not to start an argu-ment." "There's the finale, George, it must be over. Come on, lot's beat everybody to the door." "fake it easy, hon. I don't mind having my shoes stepped on, but it isn't doing my toes any good to got mixed up with a lot of high heels." "George, why don't you sit down some night and write a play like that?" "Quiet, please." ECONOMIC GROUP Oil Executive Talks Today on International Topic, Business Cycles. Dr. John D.

STATE MAY SOON CULT VATE CAN GRAMLICH Ag Professor to Expound His Theory at Feeders Meeting Today. Minority Nrpuri Rejected Defeated Proposal Seeks Lower Division College for Unqualified. A lower division college fof handling freshmen was reeom ! mended in a minority report of the committee proposing a method of advising new students. The re port failed to pass the University senate April 14, Dean T. J. Thompson disclosed Thursday, but a special committee will be appointed to eliminate unqualified and incapable freshmen from en tering the colleges in the uni versity. The report advised that the di vision be allowed the same free dom that is accorded the colleges. Control of registration, educa tional guidance, testing, and teach ing of students would be under complete supervision of the pro posed college. A set of requirements for en trance Into each college would be established, the report advised, and only those students who com pleted minimum achievement in scholarship and credit hours would be accepted to continue their work. Freshmen would then receive better educational guidance, and bettor opportunities to teach now students could be had, the com mittee believed. Even under the recommendation proposed by the accepted majority report of the freshman advisory committee, confusion might still result. Under the lower division plan, the re port said, many difficulties in handling freshmen would be eliminated. The plan would also serve Us an incentive to those who wish to enter colleges, and would keep out those incapable of doing satisfac tory work. The new committee will be ap proved at the next meeting of the senate. It then will begin work immediately In considering every possibility of the plan for adap tion to the university. Advisory Plan a 'Forward Step9, Thompson Believes Approval of the plan for advis ing freshmen students which was accepted by the university senate recently was voiced Thursday by T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs. "I believe the student senate took a forward step a week ago when they approved the report of the senate committee for estab lishment of certain procedure and methods of handling students." the clean stated in an Interview. "When in force it will greatly help the advising system." "This of course will take money." Dean Thompson added, "and we are loatli to take I hat from instructional purposes to put into needed facilities for counsel ing and advising students." Shortcoming in the present sys tem are not the faults of teachers, according to the dean. "Our fac ulty does as well as time permits," he believes. "Wo do not lack in ideas, but wo do lack necessary financing." Dean Thompson who is chair man of the committee and one of those submitting the minority re port, believes art ion will be taken on the accepted majority report as soon as money is available.
