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

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

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.
