JESTERS DRILL DILLIGENTLY By DAVE EVANS The Penn State Center's Dramatics Club is holding long and hard re hearsals to whip into shape their spring presentation, "The Importance of Being Earnest." This comedy will be presented on two consecutive even ings, April 19 and 20, at Genetti's Theater - Restaurant. "Importance" will be staged in arena style. The story revolves around the fact that Gwendolyn-and Cecily have fal len in love with the name of Ernest and have decided that they will not marry anyone /with another name. Because they are in love with these girls, Algy and Jack both pretend to be named Ernest.

This will be a greatly-appreciated stop for the travellers judging from comments of the camel drivers. Students oast revel in the luxury of six days without addi tional assignments and recover from the effects of air d-semester exams. This mid-season stopover is usually the time for renewed promise to one's self of harder and more intelligent study. In short, •the famous saying of this period will be something like, "I hereby promise to myself that I will faithfully and dilligently do all of the assignments; even keep ahead of the class. I will now buckle down and raise those eight week grades to `threes.' All it takes is a little. will power, and I can do it!"

There is just one thought to carry with you—the caravan resumes the trek on Tuesday morning April 11th, promptly at 8:30. Mooney, Gallagher And McGee Win Election "Shades of St. Patrick" The. elections which were held to fill the positions vacated at the end of the first semester resulted in the following selections: John Mooney—President of the So phomore Class. Neil Gallagher Sophomore Class Council Member. Dolores Kobrick Sophorore Class Secretary. Ed McGee Fretshman Class Sec retary. The most outstanding aspect of this "election" was the fact that the only office which was contested by another candidate was that of the Sophomore President. The rest of the budding politicians of the student body must have fallen asleep. 7' , APRIL 4, 1950
