Business School , Promotes Class In Machine Use The school of business adminis n tration, in cooperation with the Extension Division, and the Na tional Cash Register Company, will present a short course in Ma r chine Accounting, during the week . beginning November 14, according, t to Dean S. M. Derrick. . Classes will be held at 8, 9, 10, and 11 every day, Monday through . Saturday, and each class will have one afternoon meeting, making a . total of seven classes during the week. Seven models of National Cash e Register Accounting Machines will e be installed in Room 101 Harper for use in this course. These ma chines range in weight from 300 pounds to 1000 pounds each (total , weight approximately two tons). t This study of machine systems t is presented in response to many requests to assist in bridging the e gal) between manual system proce dures used in instruction and the h machine system procedures which s are in popular use in the business world. The objective is to present the fundamental principles of a representative cross section of ma chine systems which are in common use today. Students in several of the ad d vanced accounting classes, and those in the business machine classes will be given the first n chance to enroll in the course. In terested seniors will also be ad mitted, if there is room. It is expected that this course will be repeated next year for stu dents who miss it this time. "The University is now present iig some of the finest business ma y chines instruction in the country. Y The addition of this course greatly strengthens our program," Dean L)errick said. 'Best Player Pe Often Given Ui Trying, Humor e By BARBARIA D)ERRICK Skeletons out of the University "Theatre's closet are not being re r- leased, but the following events are n the thousand little things that make the theatre what it is. The f average theatre goer has absolute h ly no conception of the many little t incidents that constitute the f harassed misery and the unfeigned n joy a single performance gives to the aspirants of the theatre. s The persons behind the footlights s find joys in relating these petty troubles following each perform anice. Participants in the Univer sity Players can leisurely amuse one another with these uncanny events. Last May the University Theatre was fortunate enough to convince Dr. Wayne Eubank of the Univer sity of Florida and the Broadway a stage to appear in the Player pro a duction of "Jane Eyre." Dr. Eu bank was unable to participate in -the rehearsals; the cast rehearsed four weeks with an understudy reading his part. When Dr. Eubank arrived for the performance he announced he desired several changes in the script. The play went on with each member of the cast alert, not knowing if the following line was one of Dr. Eubank's omissions or not. Five minutes before the curtain rose D)r. Eubank announced that he wanted one key line which pene trated the entire first act to be omitted. The result was that the cast had to adlib every line in which this particular theme domi nated. The play proceeded and not one cast member forgot the request made by Eubank.

Dorm Peddlers Must Possess Signed Permits By TAFT DANTZLER Reports coming to John A. Chase, dean of administration, this week concerning- loiterers and ped dlers inside the dorms have moved him to look into the matter. Dormitory regulations do not permit unauthorized door to door soliciting. Students are expected to advise the Marshal whenever such unauthorized persons present themselves. For the benefit of new students who do not know the rules Dean Chase points out that only sales men given signed permits by the university stores have a right to solicit students on the premises. The university's regulations gov erning dormitory soliciting were made necessary when frauduleni persons took advantage of some students a few years ago. "It shouldn't be necessary t< point out to the students that suc precautions are for their own pro tection," Dean Chase concluded. rformances %der Severe, Pous Strains mately three m,onths "Uncle Dud Iey" -was presented. Preparation! were being made by the cast be fore the performance,.-props an< make-up were being added by eacd member. One observant player no ticed in the rush of preparations that one cast member was not pres ent, this was 45 minutes before curtain time. Several seconds latem the missing member appeared al the door assisted by Jimmy Howle She looked helplessly into the make-up room and announced, "] can't go on tonight, my ankle ii sprained." Yes, she appeared or the stage at the scheduled time For this particular occasion an en tire scene of the play was re-writ. ten by the cast in the presence ol a full house. Players were tolt this little incident was never recog nized by a single theatre goer. "Gaslight" brought forth oni only embarrassing event. Buddl Long was on stage with Marl Shand and one of his lines was t< be directed at the noticeably empta space on the wall where a pictur< was mysteriously missing and de. mand "where is the picture tha1 should be on that wall?" The scheduled time for this lin4 came and Buddy looked instinctive, ly at the wall, the picture that wai supposed to be missing was hang. ing undisturbed on the wall behind him. Buddy had to think fast tc talk his way out of that one. This summer "Madame Butter fly" was presented. Opening nighi was unseasonably hot.

Cast members gladly received his sug gestion, until in the middle of the second act, the most climactic scene, and in the midst of dead silence the fan toppled over and several small pieces of ice cam( floating at break neck speed acros the entire length of the stage. Th( cast restrained their amusemen and again the audience overlooke( the trials of theatre work. Last November "Thunderock' brought a pathetic situation.
