Extend Petitions
For Councilmen
As a result of the meeting held last
Monday evening when there was an
appeal from members of the sophol
more class, the Student Council de
cided to extend the deadline for peti
tions for the president of the sopho
more class who acts in the capacity
of president of Council, and for the
two sophomore council members.
When this paper went to press there
had been no definite time set for the
election.
Two of the positions, previously
held by ex-president Bo•b Rinkus and
ex-councilman Michael Zabitckuck,
were vacated when the two officers
resigned February 14. The action
was the result of an extended invita
tion from newly-appointed faculty
adviser Syd Rudman to those who
felt overburdened by responsibility
and obligation of a councilman to
tender their resignation. The third
position became vacant when John
Parvensky submitted his resignation
following his announcement that he
was transferring to Rider College.
On March 1 at a special financial
meeting Paul Pucillo, a sophomore
member of the student body, urged
'the council to authorize a special
election to fill the three, vacancies.
Upon proper consideration of his
recommendation, Council passed a
resolution authorizing such an elec
tion. Paul's appearance at the meet
ing was one of the few isolated
examples of a student properly ap
pearing before council and expressing
his views.
Syd Rudman expressed the view
that the policy of the Council has
been and shall be that all members
of the Council must be productive
and functional, and not merely titular
figures. He also urges all students,
who have grievances or suggestions
to appear at the regular Council
meeting held every Monday evening
at five p.m. in the Walnut Street
building.

Mr. Arthur Carpenter has an
nounced that an exhibition of water
colors by Earl Palmatier, Shickshin
ny art teacher•, and university prints

Of the Walnut street building from
March 7 to 14.
After that date, this exhibition can
be seen in the Art League galleries
in the Masonic Temple from March
15 to March 20.

"KILL THE AUTHOR! KILL: THE AUTHOR!"
Someone is not long for this world! Such is the case in the Jesters' 'latest
production, "Pot Boiler." The actors pictured above in one of their scenes are,
left to right: Thomas Kalanevich, Janet Szutowicz, Elinor Wagner, Leroy
Gaverick, and Neil. Llewellyn..
"Pot Boiler," the first dramatic
presentation this semester, is a play
within a play, centered upon a satire
on play-making, acting and direc
ting. The director is a versatile man
Who writes spontaneously for radio
shows, motion pictures and stage
plays. After getting his play orga
nized he discovers to his bewilder
ment the characters are in a dead
lock. Yes, deadlock, with each one
holding a pistol in his hand. The
problem reaches its height when the
director has to decide who shoots
whom.
Joan Eidleman plalrs the part of a
wicked adventuress to add spice to
the story.•
The one-act play will be presented
Friday night at 8 p.m. in the audito
rium of* the Green Street school.

has anzitiii ed that a meeting for the
.p,lfOti;is of organizing an editorial
will be held within a week, and
anione interested in submitting any
contribution is cordially invited to
attend.
At present the only active member
of the staff is June Reinmiller, who

Students currently attending the
Center who also contributed to the
original edition include Conrad Bal
liet and David McNelis.
The•magazin,e, which will be dis
tributed the first week in May, is de
signed to give the student writer an
opportunity to display his talents in
the field of composition. By this
means the young author frequently
gets that needed push that he would
otherwise fail to get.
Miss Neifert suggests that those
who are interested should contact her
at their earliest convenience in the
"Collegian" office. At that time all
necessary arrangements can be
made.
Competition is open to all students
of both the fall and spring semesters
and there is no limit on the number
of articles or choice of subject mat
ter. All contributions, whether they
are poems, essays, short stories or
anecdotes, must be the original work
of the person submitting them.
Announcement of the deadline for
the contributions will be made after
the board meeting.
