The new stooges are Edward R.

Technically the set was well
done, especially the use of an up

Despite the above, this play is
powerful and good. The cast
worked hard on a difficult show.

one of them.

L. Coy, Collegian editor, announ
ced last night.

Tribunal Meets
Student Tribunal will meet in
the Alumni office at 7 o'clock to
night, Charles H. Ridenour '43,

All freshmen who received cards,
as well as last week's violators
who were punished, are to re

PRICE THREE CENTS
to revamp the College's advisory
system.
The plan, to be returned to
Cabinet by a committee made up
of presidents of the school student
councils after a meeting tomor
row, will make more uniform the
varied systems now in use in the
separate schools.
The proposal, introduced in the
meeting by the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee through Dr.
Chesliegh A. Bonine, arose from
a survey conducted by that body
to members of the freshman class
early next week, according to Wil
liam S. Hoffman, registrar.
The photo-cards, originally or
dered to counteract a wave of
"matric card loaning" for en
trance in barrooms, have been re
ceived by the Registrar's office,
and may be exchanged for the old
ones starting Monday morning.
"Eventually," stated Hoffman,
"we hope to be able to issue these
cards to all students, as they make
for better identification at final
exams, registration, and other
places where identification is
needed."
Illustrated with a picture of the
student, containing his birth date
on the photo, the cards also con
tain a small print of Old Main
tower.
