Tribunal Gives Frosh
Cue For 'Take-Oft
At Round-up Meeting
When - Tribunal meets the frosh
en masse at the Lion 'Shrine, 1:30
p.m. Saturday, for the freshmen's
mass meeting finale, they will be
bringing to completion another era
of frosh customs.
Freshmen who should consider
Tribunal's request for perfect at-•
tendance Saturday a certain must,
according to Laibe A. Kessler,
chairman, will be present at what
will probably be their last stab at
. a customs congregation. -Probably,
because if the frosh do a bang-up
job of showing the powers that be
that they not only know school
cheers and songs but- are capable
of turning out one hundred per
cent to prove it, Tribunal will re
move customs immediately after
the meeting.
Laibe A. Kessler, chairman of
Tribunal, stated that freshmen
who have dates for the weekend
may take their customs off at 5
p.m. Friday, and that the only time
it will be necessary for these men
to wear the customs will be at the
mass meeting Saturday afternoon.

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. . .
How to provide a traditional
football season without green

'Arsenic' Cast
Begins Rehearsals
Casting has just been completed
for "Arsenic and Old Lace," Play
ers' forthcoming offering to prove
that coi•pses can be funny, Direc
tor Frank Neusbaum announced
yesterday.
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,
