Gr Wth Overlong I By MIKE KARVELAS 4 The University Players last eve-g nling presented a four act dramat of circus life by the Russian play-. wright Leonid Andreyev entitled, enigmatically enough, "He Who Gets Slapped." The title of the piece is not thee play's only confusing factor. The 1 drama is a maze of symbolical and allegorical situations and cliches. Last night's audience waded through the first half of the opus trying to make sense out of the potpourri being unfolded before it,1 but finally gave up in complete resignation. The most unexplainable mystery of the evening was the fact that the Players should have considered "He" worthy of a production at all. At its beat it Is a combina tion of melodrama and fantasy which, if properly presented, of fers a few scenes of rewarding theatre. At Its worst, it is as it iings 6-15 Completed , Smith Says reek informing President 11 Works Agency has ap which would include tem class rooms, offices, and te telegrams were sent from hington by Senators Olin D. iston and Burnet R.

The course 11 be open to married students d to members of the junior and nior classes with the consent of e dean of the school in which ch is registered. The course was requested by a imber of students who desired opportunity to become better quainted with the responsibilities home and family life. The ans of the schools of business [ministration and law, and the ads of the departments of po tical science, psychology, sociol sy, English Bible, music and phy cal education, cooperated in the tailed planning of the course, d in the presentation of the ork within their respective fields. Grouped under economic and so al problem's of the home and imily the course includes use and anagement of the family income, istallment buying, investments, ersonal and property insurance, lanning the hbme for family buy ig, legal aspects of home owner hup and factors to be considered hen building, buying or renting home. A two credit course, the class pill meet once a week on Thursday om 3 until 5. oup StruggIes) ussian Drama The Players, usually a dynamic -roup, struggled with the static ragedy, but soon they, too, fell >y the wayside. The group acted ,s if it were tired of the affair nd anxious to get it over as uickly as possible. Occasionally hey would be awakened from heir lethargy by the Injection of ome slick directorial tricks ad ninistered by their mentor, M. G. 3hristophersen, or by the appear mece of Phil Bernanke, the Barry nore of U. S. C. The combination of a Russian writing about French life enacted with a liberal sprink ling of Southern accents, proved too much even for these talented two. The play wan handsomely mounted and the costunjes were appropriately colorful. The back ground music was atmospheric, but unfortunately, not loud enough to drown out the talk bandied about by the group.
