"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. S. C. tackle comes South to job-hunt. . .what will
intra-mural boxing do this spring without a McCants-Marano drawing
card feature. . .ask Jimmy \Vilson's fraternity brothers and they'll tell
you he doesn't hide his emotions. . .Law school's J. C. Hare takes his
valentine, Connie Davis, for a ride into the hinterland and his law
school buddies warn hinm to keep his eye on the road and his foot on
the brake. . .freshman Barton Hickman not only pleads for membership
in League's and Harrison's exclusive Black Key society; he procures
and wears such an ornament.-. .
It's still our sad duty to report that Prof. Boulware, not Prof. Roberts,
is laying down the law for Snag Legare.

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.

Hyde calls everyone a spy and is
contested by Alden who's color blind
ness makes him see Redskin in every
one.
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.
