MEADVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA April 10, 1935 Allegheny Playshop to Present Ibsen's "Ghosts" Women Select New Officers in Annual Vote Interfraternity Ball to Be Held This Evening Presentation to Be Held on April 25. The Allegheny Playshop will pre-' sent "Ghosts." the masterpiece of the pioneer of modern drama, Hendrick Ibsen, on Thursday evening, April 25. Hendrick Ibsen was the founder of the movement known as modern drama, the high point of which was. marked by "Ghosts." This play was first produced in 1881, and met with favor- able reception in the northern coun- tries of Europe. However, it was years before "Ghosts" could be given in France and England, and a bitter con- troversy raged over the merits of the Outwardly, the meaning of the title, "Ghosts," is found in the idea of the reappearance of sins of the previous generation. The sins committed by the father of Oswald Alving ruin the life . of the son. At the same time Ibsen portrays the struggle in the mind of Mrs. Alving, Oswald's mother, between new and old ideas, the latter being "ghosts." It is the grand theme of the play and the denunciation of Victor- ian ideals that caused the unfavorable reception of this masterpiece. The main character of the play, Mrs. Alviug, the truly tragic character, will be portrayed by either Miss Helen hid- mundson or MisS Kathryne Miller. Paul Gilmore will play the role of the conventional hero of the play, the son, Oswald, in whose final downfall is . the reception committee. Guests in- seen the victory of "ghosts."

The winners only of the respective superlatives will be announced.

Evangelical Church Hears Programme of Orchestra and Choir The Allegheny College orchestra and the Allegheny chapel choir gave a com- bined program at the Zion Evangelical Church Sunday afternoon.

After a speech of Introduction by Pres. Wm. Tolley, the oath of office was given to the following women by Ada Sherwin, former president of the Activities Board : Annabelle Broomall, president; Margaret Stroble, 1st vice- president; Francis Boone, 2nd vice- president; Jane Gleason, 3rd vice-pre- sident; Jane Stover, 4th vice-president, and Lois Slocum, 5th vice-president. Assisting these women in their duties are Barbara Burns, secretary- treasurer; Mary Jones, social chair- man; Christine Black, girls off campus, and Julia Ferguson, house manager. Miss Sherwin expressed her regret at leaving the office of president and thanked those who had co-operated with her. The gavel was presented to End Forensic Season With Formal Banquet of Delta Sigma Rho The Allegheny speakers brought their forensic season to a close last night at a formal banquet sponsored by Delta Sigma Rho, honorary national forensic fraternity. The affair took place in the private dining room of Cochran Hall at 6:15 o'clock and was attended by about 50 guests. The main feature of the evening was a six-man debate with Brothers Col- lege on the proposition, "Resolved, that the private manufacturer of arms and munitions should be forbidden by in- ternational agreement." Upholding the affirmative contentions, the Brothers College speakers contested the Alle; gheny negative position under the con- ditions of tthe Oregon style debate procedure. Elliott Jones, president of Delta Sigma Rho, introduced Dr. Wil- liam P. Tolley, who acted as chairman for the debate; Dr. Tolley was a for-' mer Dean of Brothers College. Mishell George, Arthur Vangeli and Earl Green were the participating Allegheny debaters. Elliott Jones presided as toast- master and Elizabeth Bright headed ed the males in an exclusive retreat catering to a distinctive clientele — "The Barn." The hectic week's activities finally culminated in a veritable nightmare— a Dawn Dance from six to eight A. M. Friday morning. The response to such an inconcei- vable demand was phenomenal. At the men's dormitory, even those indivi- duals who ordinarily hold communion with Morpheus until the final bell, were startlingly aroused from their slumbers by a blatant "Reveille." It Is conceded that the unusually large number of people present at the Dawn Dance conclusively establishes a fact hitherto relegated to the domain of metaphysics—namely, that a resur- rection IR possible.

The announcement of the winners of last week's Superlative contest, • at the Inter- fraternity Ball. We believe that a great deal of interest can be built up concerning a feature of this type, and it is hoped that it will be received in a manner which will make it justifiable to continue it at later dates. The comment which has been aroused by the statement that the Interfraternity Ball was to be informal leads us to make a suggestion. As long as the committee has decided that it is for the best interests of the financial end of the Ball to declare it informal, then the Ball should be informal, not a mixture as was the Junior Prom. It will be remembered what a grotesque picture was pre- sented at that dance with the variable "costumes" worn. It was so noticiable that even the band members did not hesitate to AXIOMS No treasurer can, even by an infinite series of propositions, be reduced to his lowest terms. No three collegiate meals, of whatever size or shape, are together equal to one square meal.. A single room is one that has no length, width, breadth, or height. The only difference between a small double room and a large double room is the price. All other rooms being reserved, a single room is said to be a double room... The clothes of any college bed, though produced ever so far in every direction, will never meet. On the same semester bill, and on the same side, there should not be two charges for the same item. If there be two collegians in the same room, and if the amount of space occupied by one be equal to the amount of space occupied by the other, then the semester bills are (or ought to be) equal, each to each. For if not, let one bill be greater than the other. Then the other bill will be less than it might have been; But this is absurd.

Inasmuch as the dance is to be informal, the students should be attired accordingly, not as to what the dance should be. it. This was a most important election for those interested in and affected by the policies of our state, for the Gover- nor of Pennsylvania, United States Congressmen and state officials were elected. The results show that 42.8% of our faculty failed to register in order to vote in this election. If the Officers 'of Administration and Assist- anti were added to this list, then 45.5% were not included. The figures for the United States show that in 1920, 52.4% of those entitled to vote did so; in -924, 67.5%; and in 1932, 68.6%. This means that the members of the faculty, who are supposed to be of more than average intelligence, arc not performing their duty as citizens as well as the average citizen. We are not concerned here with the reasons why they did not vote, nor which ones did not. But we know that it takes intelligent men and women to run any organization, especially a gov- ernment which is lemocratic in form. We also icnow that it is upon the participation of intelligent. well.-Klu- cated and honest citizens that success- ful and mutually beneficial govern- ment rests. We hope that we are not wrong in assuming that our faculty members possess these qualities. They surely would not have been elevated to the positions of importance that they now hold if they did not. These ladies and gentlemen all have their pet theories aml n!tra-new idea3. What they need is more practice and less theory. Might I remind them that there is nothing like setting a good example.

THE CAMPUS OF ALLEGHENY COLLEGE-APRIL 10, 1935. Page Three Phi Gams Cop Wrestling For Second Straight Time Previous Title Holders Repeat Victories. The Phi Gam's successfully de- fended their championship in wrestl- ing by amassing a total of 29 points. This was done in spite of the fact that Dick Horn, the 1934 cham- pion of the 165 pound class, was able to do no better than draw with Jolley for the championship. Except for Horn all of last year's champs who were entered in the tournament were able to repeat.

Appreciation" in Playshop The Horn-Jolley match was the most exciting of the whole tournament.

The famous lecturer is making a over two seconds. However, Jolley was the agressor all through the fight and won many points because of that fact. Jolley had Horn very nearly pinned no fewer tides than four. whereas he was in serious danger but once.

Three alarms have been turned in this year which is as many as during the whole of last year. The state law, which irate local fire- men vow they'll enforce provides a penalty of $500 and 2 years in jail for the offender. If the judge is real lenient, it will be only one of these two penalties. It costs Meadville $5 every time the one truck answers a false alarm. -BULLETIN- We will consider a limited number of selected students experienced in cir- culation work, will also consider ex- perienced Team Captain -for Trip- Around-The-World this summer.

A professor at the New River State College gave the following opinion to one of his classes: "One-half go to see the band. The boys go to see the girls and the girls go to see what the other girls are . wearing." A bit of blank verse comes to us from "The Springfield Student." Blank? The moon, the moon, Like a silver spitoon With stars all around Where the gods have missed! "Hell Week" almost resulted in a tragedy at Columbia. Four pledges were sent to Barnard College and told to propose to the first girls they saw. Two of the girls accepted. From an Alfred University "Campus Widow" we learn: "Weeping is what the artful female does in order to keep her man; crying is what the artless one does after she has lost him." True generosity was shown by a Knox College alumnus to his alma mater. The college received a courteous letter recently from an old grad, giving due credit to all scholastic and extra- curricular activities in which he had taken part during his stu- dent days. He said that he wished to be anonymous in making a donation of ten thousand dollars. The letter was unsigned and so, too, was the check for ten thousand dollars. Another sample of collegiate poetry. Ouch! I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I know not where. I've lost a lot of arrows that way. The Collegiate Observer of the U. of Michigan observes that: "Girls are like final examinations—they keep a fellow up all night worrying about them, and then ask the most foolish questions." Collegiate courtship, says a co-ed at the University of Penn- sylvania, . consists of a man running after a co-ed until she catches him. We nominate this crack coming from the Daily Illini for the worst of the month—Italian gals fear Mussolini 'cause he's the Fascist man in Italy. 1111111 111111111111 1111111111110111111111111 T E3 a All Charge Accounts Must Be Closed Before Tomorrow.

Page Four Dawn Dance Came the (lawn! And with it came the climax of Allegheny's annual Leap Week, or Leap Weak. If the sun had been obliging enough to peep forth at the usual hour, he would have seen many sleepy males making their way to Hulings, where they waited patient- ly (?) for their weary-eyed damsels to appear. The orchestra, Barney Knapp's Melody Weavers, should have used as its theme song, "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise." Sometime between the hours of six and eight o'clock, orange-juice, dough- nuts, and coffee were served by the Owens. The eight o'clock bell rang at eight o'clock, much to every one's sur- prise, and after wild scrambling for hats, coats, and books, the students dashed madly for classes, where they slept peacefully on, in spite of the protests of unrelenting professors. . Thus was the Dawn Dance over for another year. • * * Radio Parties Leap Week saw the co-eds resorting to radio parties several times as means of entertainment. The residents of sec- ond front Hulings started the ball roll- ing on Tuesday evening when they en- tertained in Hulings Hall from seven- thirty until ten-thirty. Miss Mildred Ludwig and Albert Ogilvie chaperoned, and hot fudge sundaes were served by the committee. On Wednesday evening both Cochran Hall and Beebe House were conducting parties in their respective halls. Miss Prescott and John Yeaney chaperoned the Cochran affair, while Miss Nancy Peffer was the chaperone for the Beebe House party. Girls living on the third floor of Rulings finished the round of parties on Saturday evening when they enter- tained in the hall from eight until eleven. Dr. and Mrs.. O. P. Akers were the chaperones. Strawberry sundaes were served. Long ago the fire department gave up the idea of sending more than one man and one truck up the hill to ans- wer an alarm at the box on East Col- lege Street. Volunteer firemen just roll over in their beds now and mutter —well, we won't say what they mutter when that box rings in. Mr. Seely Talks to Vesper Group on Leisure Time Mr. Frederick F. Seely spoke to the undergraduates at the weekly vesper services in Hulings Hall on Sunday evening, April 7. Mr. Seely's subject was the "Use of Your New Leisure Time." He pointed out that much of our modern activity is based on speed, light ,noise, and crowds. Such activi- ties waste the person's creative abili- ties and thus defeat the purpose of re- creation which is "to recreate." Three ways of spending leisure time were advocated by Mr. Seely—three ways of building up one's creative abilities. The first is reading by which one may be recreated mentally; sec- ondly, walking will build one up phy- sically; and finally, sitting and think- ing will develop one's spiritual out- looks. Margaret Wickline was in charge of service, and the singing was led by Duane Good. Alleghenians See "Les Miserables" in French "Les Miserables," in film form, was presented to large number of Alle- ghenians Monday afternoon at the Academy Theatre. The production, entirely in French, was sponsored by Phi Sigma Iota, romance language fraternity. Miss Spalding Discusses Dramatics With Teachers Miss Alice Spalding, director of the Allegheny Playshop, spoke on April 8 before the Erie County High School English Teachers, at the first meeting of their recently organized association, held at the Fisher Hotel, Erie. The theme of Miss Spalding's talk was High School Dramatics, a subject in which the teachers displayed great interest. .
