Coming from committees and through the ' Cabinet-as-a-whole clearing house were the questions Thespians Come Across-With Title— Once Over Lightly' Goes Into Rehearsal It's. finally official! After innu merable discussions pro and con, Thespians' BMOC's have decided "Once Over Lightly" as the title of their forthcoming show. Vocal chorus for "Once Over ..." will be recruited from candidates who report to room 200 Carnegie at 2 p.m. Monday. Frank Gullo, assistant professor of music, who is in charge of the group, plans to build the glorified glee club - on eight male and eight female voices. The chorus will be featured in the production numbers centering around Gershwin's "I Got Plenty of Nuthin' " and "Isn't That Great —Gettin' Up in th' Mornin' ", de scribed by Jimmy Burden as "an 'old—spiritual with a shot of hot PRICE FIVE CENTS of student driving and the activi ties curfew. James Hugo, head of the com mittee on cars, reported that con ferences with Capt. Phillip A. Mark of the campus patrol and Ray V. Watkins, head of the State College rationing board, confirmed the advisability of enforcing the student driving ban in effect last semester. The ban provides that no stu dent may .keep a. car at the Col lege, except those granted the privilege because of some special situation. Failure to Obey the reL quest carries punishment up to and including expulsion from Col lege. Student Tribunal will be the enforcement agency. Faries, revealing investigations of the curfew committee, recom mended that the 8:30 p.m. limit on . activities be abOlished since the number of students and active or ganizations on campus this . semes ter makes such a ruling unneces sary. Passing the resolution which made the deadline past tense, Cab inet qualified its action by stating that it still endorses the principle behind the curfew. and urged that early adjournment hours be ob served by activities heads despite the lack of a resolution governing the situation. Burden .is using his band as the nucleus for the show orchestra which will accompany all of the show -numbers. Thus far, the band's high spot numbers are "St. Louis Blues," for a blackface boogie number, and "Sibone," which will set the keynote for a touch of Latin America in the show. The •band's vocalist, Mary Jane Doerner, will accompany the or chestra and will be featured in the black-face number. Several of the boys in the band will have solos, but at this point the only ones that are 'definite are Jim Storch's trumpet work and Len Singer on the clarinet. In addition to the regular Tiles plan dancing chorus, there be several da l I nce specialties. Que •'it,:41;',1!.,!1.' it At Election Rounding out four weeks of campaigning and leaving their original eighteen competitors far behind them, the team of Chap man and Chapman, new first se mester president and treasurer, re spectively, made out in final elec tions held in Old Main yesterday. In a burst of enthusiasm which preceded the finals but which was even more apparent in the pri maries, the freshmen came all out for elections with class spirit. The eighteen candidates who competed in last week's elections worked hard in what were the first pri mtiries of the semester. The large number of candidates is due chief ly to the elimination of specific Parties in this year's elections. When elections were put on a se mester basis, the party setup was disregarded, thus allowing more candidates to run. John Chapman, president, and George Chapman, treasurer, led their opponents, Gib Parnell and Ted 'Rubin, by 32 and 24 votes re spectively. Seven votes were declared void by the All-College elections com mittee since these voters made the mistake. of voting for two. presi dents or two treasurers. The seven votes, however, were not of suffi cient number to make a difference in the final tabulation. Other students who ran but were eliminated in last week's election 'are presidential candi; dates David Barron, Jay Fieldman, Richard Glickman, 'llobert Himler, Theodore -Jentleson, Louis Levi, Jeanne Jordan, and Robert Shad ley; treasurer candidates Barbara Cotton, Morton Grossman, .Mardy Humphries, Robert Lauer, and Virginia Pershing. Two hundred and thirty fresh men voted at the final elections yesterday, just ten less than the number who turned out for last week's elections. Under the new system, students just elected will remain in. office for one semester only, and will compete for office again next semester. Old Main Tower Open Old Main tower will be op en from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, George W. Ebert, Grounds and Buildings, an nounced. that is already in rehearsal is the team of Tony Hale, Navy V-12, and Priscilla Schautz, veteran Thespian chorine. And again comes the now-fran tic call from Marty Skapik, pro duction manager, for some campus beauties for the large production numbers. All girls who can qualify are requested to report to Schwab any evening between 7 and 8 Contrary to Thespian precedent, there is no special theme connect ing the various numbers in "Once Over Lightly." The show will be built around large production numbers, and the orchestra will •be highlighted. The dancing chorus, under the direction of Mim Zartman, is fully organized and has been rehearsing li.unbers nightly. • • •
