Toi Late To Class. By PAUL "SCOOP" LEAGUE "QUOTABLE QUOTES"-FROM CAMPUS SCENES: In Canteen Society-"Aw he just takes her to those thrill movies in hopes she'll get frightened and cling to him." Sims Second-floor gab fest-"He said he'd take me to dinner but with strings attached-and was I disappointed-he had spaghetti in mind." Fraternity Roadster-"You're the first girl I ever kissed, dearest," said the pledge as he shifted the gears with his foot. In Up-town Restaurant-"I'm afraid to raise my hand this week-end-there's a school-teacher's meet inig inl town." Infirmary Ward-"Doc Law said I must avoid all forms of excite nient, I guess I can't go back to the Tri Delt room." * * * * * * * DRAMA PAGE-"ONE MAD NIGHT"-A REVIEW: For the first time since the days of Louise Fry and Charlie Lee, the University players put on a worth-your-money show Tuesday and Wed nesday nights. Although it was due mainly to the cleverness of the play itself rather than the acting, there is room for posies even there. We were inclined to believe that the scenes had been taken from real life at times, and that the characters were but their usual selves. Brew Beers as John Alden couldn't keep his skirt down, and no matter how well she played the part, petite Laura Lee Green couldn't convince us that she was a male servant. As for Jane Loyal and Edith Gunter, this colum ist would like to play opposite them in any setting or at any time. Eah minute we expected giggles-ish Mary Crow to do just that. It was a good performance, but we thought a good closing line would have been for the hero, Bob Quinn, to have asked Crow, the heroine, "What are you doing tonight-after the play?" But maybe he didn't think so. * * * * * * * FRONT PAGE FILLER-Patty Breeden starts a move to organize the non-sorority girls so that they might reap the advantages of such organization. One of the things that far-thinking Patty proposes is for the Uni versity to fix up a basement room in the west wing of new Sims dorm (there is such a room and not being used) that the gals without money to pay for a sorority pin might have for a club-room where they could entertain their dates, or have dances, or innumerable things that we place on the good side of the book. Stick to your plan Patty, and when University big-wigs put you off with the words, "We'll think about it next week," don't give up hope. * * * * * * * SOCIETY NEWS-Tenenient 21 comes back into the news. All the fellows of that establishment gather on its steps to listen to the Boogie Woogie Blues or something similar, which eminates in blaring tones from somewhere in the unexplored interior. We wondered could it be any of our business? Or if it were a business? Waldo Hyman of that smart set ordered 25 little baby chicks recently (at least he got a bill for them) either because of his mother instinct or the fact that spring is approaching. And spring is approaching because one 21-er, Joe Kirby, has started haunting Sims and a fellow-journalism student, Georgie Shuler. * * * * * * * THINGS THAT WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE ROOM FOR: A castigation of a cut system committee that ain't human. They go on the theory that a student shouldn't oversleep, be tardy, meet his sis up town, etc.; even once. There's one consolation. We know how they got to be profs. Another blast at somebody or something because the University provides only four tennis courts for 1800 students. The varsity season begins Monday against Boston U., here, but the varsity hasn't had an adequate chance to practice due to the situation. * * * * * * * THREE-DOT LINES: Cliff "Trust-Buster" Brown asked Holmes Dreher if he were a po litical independent because no one else would claim him. . .Irving Granoff, former U.

What Is It? Oh, Spring! Marshall Takes Walk To Prove That King Wintet Is Dead Again By Bob Quinn "The hounds of spring are on 'winter's traces"-quote English 22. Dean Rowes' dog, the big German Police, must be on the trace of something or other. But maybe he doesn't know that spring is here. It is. Today, Friday, March 21, is the first day of spring. , Signs of spring on the cam pus: "Move the stake to the left a little bit" says the engineer in the battered felt hat. "Parallel reports due in a week," Says the professor from behind the pince-nez glasses. "I've definitely decided run" says the boy in the' Joseph sport coat. Spring is here without a doubt. The canteen is dirtier, the grass is greener, the WPA workers are more numerous, and classes are more laborious Even at that, if this weren't all true, there is one sign of spring no one could miss. The Marshal took a walk the other day. SS --Signalme -.U. S.S.

Lucile Marcy (Mary Crow) is a heroine among lunatics. She is im prisoned in the mansion by Dr. Butnn (Al Eggerton) working under orders from Burke (Beverly Mead). Lu cille's keeper is Mrs. Kluck in the person of Margaret Haskell. Of course the playwriting Carter rescues his Lucille, getting jilted in the process by his fiance Gertrude (Jane Loyal) apd her mother (Dot Sligh). Depression, their maid, played by Edith Gunther, was de pressed throughout the action by Lady Macbeth. Biggest fake in the show was Silet to (Arnold Muir) who posed as a gangster. Siletto turned out to be a Broadway actor-just a sheep in woli's clothing. The audience was somewhat con fused even after the end, trying to figure out Lucille's story, which the bogus Doctor always raved about. China Watches SYLVAN BROS.
