(BoahdA djji&i fljoAial Holiday
The plight of the poor Mortar Boards this morning! The mail
service was discontinued yesterday due to the fact that it was a
national holiday so all of those letters from campus males, military
and civilian, will come pouring into the MBs for two days, this morn
ing. And the letters arc literally pouring in, and lots and lots more
are wanted. The women of the Black Masque want to know just
exactly the discription of the girls each and every man attending
this university would like to find in his "Christmas Stocking."
Of course, the winners will be presented with free tickets to the
"Christmas Ball" as well as the coed who best fits their description
at intermission.
Here are a couple more letters from hopefuls who have sent in
word pictures of "their ideals."
Dear Santa:
I want a girl. It's a rare request, or I guess was a rather rare
request, but this year things are different.
Not being Gl, I still long for an article of glamour, like, say a
girl! That's it Santa, a Stocking Girl. Give her oomph, Santa.
Make sure she's a front burner, cooking with unrationed gas. Have
her with luscious, light catching hair, eyes of of Agean blue,
sparkling with an occasional glint of sunlight, and looking for the
world like she was poured into a sweater. Her height must be
average (say close to five foot five.) And from any house.
Bernle.
Dearest Santa:
She should be well just about that height, with ash blonde
or raven black air. She must be a superb dancer, conversationalist,
and intcrmissionalist. She should give her undivided attention to
me and let good looking men pass by. She must be witty and be
able to give as well as take (I hate to do all the work). She must,
above all, get a town permit by hook or by crook, because I just
get "on the beam" (war council plug) about 12:30!
Pass the scapel, nurse, I'm
More letters tomorrow!

"Letters to Lucerne" Lacks
Polish But Is Imp ressive
BY JANET MASON.
For those of you who have not
seen "Letters to Lucerne," I can
not possibly evaluate it for you
because It will affect every person
differently. Although the acting,
as a whole, is not exceptional,
Dorothy James, as Olga, brings
out something which is very close
to greatness in her part. One
thrilling moment, like this, makes
it too easy for a reviewer to over
look the unsatisfactory places.
With this in mind, I shall at
tempt to give you my personal
opinion of Berne Enslln's first UN
production.
Impressive Production.
It was not a polished production.
Perhaps, lack of time, energy gjent

Bizad College
Holds Banquet
Tuesday Night
Bizad college will hold its an
nual banquet at the chamber of
commerce Tuesday at 6 p. m. witn
the usual informality and humor
of the affair highlighting the eve
ning. Open only to those registered
in that college, the banquet will
be limited to 100 students because
of space and food restrictions. All
bizad professors and their wives
will be present.
The annual presentation of the
William Cold Prize Keys, ten of
whicn are given each year to the
highest ranking freshmen in bizad
college during the previous year,
will be made by Nathan Gold, who
has continued awarding the prizes
since the death of his father, the
original contributor. Only four stu
dents will be present to receive
the keys.
Those students who ranked in
the top 10 percent of their class
in the college based on their last
year's work only will also be an
nounced. All awards which have
been given to bizad students since
the banquet last year will be men
tioned. Dean John D. Clark will present
all honors other than the Gold
Keys, and Karl Arndt, professor
of economics, will be master of
ceremonies for the impromptu pro
gram in which both the professors
and students will participate.
Reservations for the banquet
must be made by Saturday thru
the purchase of tickets at 50c per
person from any Phi Chi Theta,
Delta Sigma Phi or thru the bizad
office.

study on too many accents, caus
ing a confusion of pronunciation
which often became Inarticulate
She took too much time, in the
beginning, to get into character;
she picked up her cues so fast, at
times, that they stepped on the
former speaker's line; and she was
over-dramatic in many natural
situations.
And yet, when her big moment
came, she eased into character so
simply and beautifully that the efr

good actress to carry an emotional

Fraternities
Hold Dance
in Union
Friday night will see frater
nity members coming into their
own at the interfraternity ball
in the Union ballroom. One hun
dred and fifty couples will swing
out to all the famous abnds that
the nickelodian can furnish.
In former years the interfra
ternity ball has been one of the
high spots of the university so
cial season with a name band
and the presentation of the Fra
ternity Sweetheart. This year
fraternities find their member
ships depleted so that lt is diffi
cult to sponsor social functions
singly. Therefore they are
launching a co-operative social
plan whereby the fraternities
will coordinate their social func
tions. This Interfraternity dance
is the first affair to fall under
the new plan.
