A. O.' MORSE Cabinet Starts Plans For Semester's Events Taking a deep plunge into the campu.s activities situ ation in a specially called hour-and-a-half session Wednesday . All-College Cabinet approached complete coverage with dis cussions of everything from the problem of building a spir ited football season in a freshman-customless college to the reorganization of political parties. Plans started rolling for several schemes to compose the College's contribution to the war effort. Chief among these is the plan for a modified version of last summer's Victory Weekend which offered Benny Goodman, a Hellzapoppin show, and a raffle. This year's encore will lack the big-name band, but will probably correspond closely in other respects, Cabinet decid ed. Proceeds will go to some ser vice group. Committee in charge of ar rangements includes Co-Chairmen Robert Brawn and Lawrence Feries, with assistants Leon Cial lela, Joan Clark, Altn Letzler, Mary Jo Powell, Margaret Rain aley, Frank Serago, Horace Smith, and Raymond Zaroda. Second on the list of war aids will be an all-out stamp and bonds drive during the month of September. Suggestions for solici tations included both individual I and student-group approaches. Persons who will investigate ' methods .and -work with Harold R. Gilbert, College stamps and bonds head, •in carrying out 'schemes are James Casey, Gloria Duerst, Harold Fetterman, Peter John ston, Renee Marks, Frank Mc- Kain, Helen McKee, and Ray mond Parks. Jack Grey, ex-officio member from, the advanced ROTC 'men, prOposed a motion which would re-establish campus -political par: 7 ties. AcCording to the proposal the groups would be' set up by Cabinet and :organized - by winners and runners-up in the late elec tions. The motion was tabled . for consideration at the next meeting. Meanwhile Robert Brawn, chair:. Man, with Grey and Jane Mar phy will look into-the matter and report at the next session. . .

Rehearsals for the show, which will be produced October 8 and 9,.1 begin Monday. Marion Dougherty and Janet Dayton will play Abbie and Mar tha Brewster, the two sweet old ladies who make poisoning a gen teel bobby. Their three nephews, who could hardly be called stable characters, will be played by Herman Pivon as Mortimer Brewster, who is mad -enough, :,to ibe.~~a•- dramatic critic; Henry Simon' as teddy - Brewster, who. labors under the illusion that he is Teddy Roosevelt• and is con stantly charging up the parlor stairs, - convinced that - they- are San Juan Hill; and Bill Emmons as Jonathan Brewster; a public eh erriy•with a startling resemblance to Boris Karlofr. The part 'of Elaine. Harper, the unfortunate young • lady in "love with the dramatic critic, goes to Josephine' Nash. Her father, Rev. Harper, will be played by Pete School Council members' were urged to aid in creating a plan of action and courses of study for post-war education. This sugges tion was advanced as a primary motive to continue functioning. "There is a need today and to morrow for a, closer tie between students and faculty members," the speaker concluded. At the close of the speech the. joint ses sion unanimously passed a reso lution that the Councils accept Morse's challenge and "go on rec ord as being heartily in favor of ccntinuing School Councils c.ur ing and after the war." In order to bring student-fac ulty relation into closer tie it wa:, suggested that faculty member: be invited to attend meeting ov become active members of ,thc• Councils... This plan will be adopted in those schols which do not have adequate means of reaching• faculty members. Definite plans will be set up in individual councils for a more active and integrated program, according to Suzanne Clouser, Liberal :Arts. Council president and • chairman .of the joint meet.. ing.
