Tryouts Set For Second Theater Play Tryouts for "The Man Who Came To Dinner," second produc tion of the University Theatre's 1947-48 season, will begin on Tuesday, November 4, in room 201, Temple building, according to Dallas S. Williams, Theatre di rector. - Any regularly enrolled student in the university may try out for the play. Tryout times are from 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. on Tuesday, No vember 4; from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. and from 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. on Wednesday, November 5; and from 7 p. m. to 9 p. m. on Thurs day, November 6. ' Large Cast "A student seriously interested in appearing in the show should plan to attend at least two of the tryout periods," indicated Mr. Williams. "The Man Who Came To Dinner" features an exception ally large cast nine women and 27 men." An example of American com edy at its bawdy best, "The Man Who Came To Dinner" reveals playwrights George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart in one of their wittiest collaborations. The play is a merciless caricature of the late Alexander Woollcott his bad manners, shameless egoism, boun tiful mischief and widely assorted friendships. Woolley Makes Hit , Monty Wooley, embellished with a beard, acidulous wit and a wheelchair, created thex role on Broadway and later in the movies. Delighted with the malicious virtuisity of the Kaufman-Hart comedy, Woollcott himself played the role of the ill-mannered lit erary critic when the stage pro duction toured road engagements.

The new system of charging fees, which was recently announced by the university, fs a vile thing, and far from just. A hike in the professors' pay checks may be a fine thing, for though some of them may not deserve it, certainly most of them need it! And if more money is needed, the students may as well do their part, but why not with a little more justice in distributing the load? If you have read the announce ments, a few minutes with a pen cil and paper will show that the poor fish who has to earn a living as he goes along is going to catch it "in the heck" but hard! He is the one who can manage only 12 or 13 hours with decent grades, and therefore is penalized about $30. (Meanwhile, those fortunate people who picked well-heeled parents, and can afford to carry a full study load without working, pay little more than before or even save money.) If you accept the veterans esti mate of $80 per month living ex penses, it is apparent that a 66 increase in tuition is going to ne cessitate quite an income, if the working student is to continue in school. The question then arises as to whether the new ruling isn't designed to decrease enrollment, as well as to provide additional funds. Before deciding that this is "as good a group as any" to elim inate, I suggest that you attempt to discover the number of Kegents Scholars, graduates with distinc tion, and PBK's who worked their way through school. I warrant the results would prove interesting. If tuition can t be increased on a credit-hour basis, it seems just fair that only the extra should be added to the registration fee, and paid alike by plutocrat and under dou. Me. I liked the "good old days," when people believed in equal opportunity, and a man could work his way through col lege paying no more per value re ceived than the people with the "long green" in their pockets. Ivan Thomas. Dear Informed One: We square ones here on the campus, after reading your cur rent column in the "Rag," feel that you are undertaking a task which is obviously beyond your capacity. You have apparently purchased a copy of the trite "guide for the peasant," Down beat, borrowed some "hep-cat" terminology, and consider yourself a full-fledged, rootie-tootie, razz-a-ma-tazz, jazz critic. You have become the laughing stock of any one who has read TWO copies of Downbeat. As a connoisseur of pazz music, you make an excellent mid-wife. Anybody who has the intestinal fortitude to utter the stupid statement that Elman cuts Shavers is a "cubical" with nine corners. All that can be said of your feeble project is .... (HELP)!!!!

Announce New Classification Of University Clerical Jobs At an open meeting of all cleri cal employees of the university in Morrill Hall Wednesday after noon, Dr. Carl Borgmann, dean of faculties, explained the new job classification system begun nearly six months ago by Dr. Curtis M. Elliott of bizad college. Dr. Elliott and Professor R. N. Bourne were present to assist in explaining the system. The"job study was undertaken at the .request of Chancellor Gus tavson, who deplored the unfair nessof different pay scales for similar jobs in the various de partments of the university. Dr. Borgmann told the employees that the classification system provides categories for various positions which will be standard tnrougnoui the university. He emphasized that while each employee has been placed into a category corresponding to his pre sent job, the final classification will rpst with the suDervisor of the department in which the em ployee is workfng. He added that it is quite possible that a few em nlovees have been Dlaced into a category lower than their qualifi cations and duties merit, but that final classification will resolve any inequities. Salary Increases Under the system, approximate ly two-thirds of the clerical em ployees will be in line for salary increases; the scales to be decided upon by the Board of Regents, which meets Saturday, Nov. 8. In creases will be retroactive to Nov. 1. Dr. Borgmann also said that the administration strongly feels the need for a system of merited advancement whereby employees with particular skills and abilities may be promoted to better posi tions. To this end, the adminis tration is working on a plan to se cure a personnel officer who will set up and administer such a sys tem. A round bf spirited applause for the interest displayed by the ad ministration in the clerical em ployees greeted the remarks of a woman employee , who said that in the twenty years the she had been working for . the university, v thisvjs the first time that a meet ing of this type had been called.
