All-College Cabinet, was one of• the few exceptions in de ciding, after the dance, 'to donate Winter Fan tasy proceeds to the Old Main Mural Fund. The X-G-I Club has gone a step further and announced before its dance that the funds de -Yived from it will be expended on a definite and worthy project. The proceeds of the Spring )octurne will be used by the ex-Gls for the pur chase of a memorial plaque dedicated to and Aisling the names of all Penn State men - who gave their lives in World War 11.

COMPANY •OF /ALTOONA Penn Statements By JANE WOLBARST April Fool's Day visited the campus and brought with it the usual jesting. Most of the surprises were lovingly planned by practical jokers but one that came 'off with a bang was absolutely unintentional. Jack Shetter, feeling in a particularly generous frame of mind, came up to the AOPi house the night-of April 1 and brought the girls a bee-yoo-ti-ful box' of candy from one of the local stores. It was very at tractively wrapped and Jack thought it would make a nice gift. The girls were all at the•house ready for sorority meeting - as Jack beamingly passed the box around. One by one the girls began to run out of the room with agonized looks on their faces. Jack's face dropped a mile as he sadly admitted that maybe the candy was a little old—the store, not being able to sell it in loose quantities had finally disguised it in a box. Quite-A Difference Professor Fishburn asked a girl in his Music 6 class to define "syncopation." "Syncopation," she responded. "is irregular movement from bar to bar." "You're defining 'intoxication,' not `syncopation,' " the professor quickly informed her. Sociology 5 students are now . busily reading "Vice in Chicago" and "Juvenile Delinquency" written by a Mr. Reckless. Frontrnan, Paget, Vispi and other well-known Players were fine in Macbeth, but everyone pies.. ent at the Saturday night presentation will agree that Ted Noyes stole his scene 'without uttering a single line. The witches had just. finished an eerie episode and the stage was deadly black. One of the actors was giving.. his- all up. front when a ghostly apparition blithely floated across the back of the stage. it was Ted,. a - member of the stage crew,. wearing a White shirt; and he gave the play a fine new touch. It's surprising that Shakespeare lidn't think of that one.. Off The Record Duke Ellington just finished waxing his fam ous "Black.

THE COLLEGIAN A Dark and Bitter Look Today the editorial powers of this worn out rag have given me lots of room to spread verbal booby traps around. They only did it be cause there was nothing else but unfavorable and criticizing letters to the editor ;to CH up this space—so Even so, I will not quarrel wi up in as nauseating a maner as pip can do it too. There are two subjects due for a going over this morning. The first oT these is Players. Now lasi issue when everyone else had a chance to trample over CiVlacbeth in print, it wasn't my day to sound off. But today I can squeak, squeal and squawk till my little heart's content. Let me give you a brief resume of the action as it perspired upon the stage at Schwab. In. the country of Scotland there once lived a king named Macbeth. His mother had• never given him a first name, so everyone called him Thane or Cawder or Glamis—any old name that appealed ts• them. 'The Thane of Cawder stalks onto the scene, crying "Seyton, dammit all! Where the hen: is my armor?" At this point a gentleman in a white shirt walks across the darkened area of the stage gather ing up stray flashlightt batteries. Bellows the Thane, "Seyton, get the damn armor out here before that stinkweed Macduff arrives." The lights flash off and on rapidly three times as if in answer. Some one falls off a platform backstage. Macbeth continues. I'll fight through Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane, though Neusbaum he cursing out there in the audience, though you can't stand much more of this stuff— dammit, I'll fight. But enough, I hear footprints approaching." And with• this he draws his sword and rfrepares to receive the advancing horde. ` The first guy he polishes off with two jabs to the left ventricle. The assaulted gentleman falls to the deck in a cloud of dust. Two stalwarts charge in the door and sat upon :good old Seyten and his buddy.

And,l'm just the person that mistake, They all ignore this and continue to hack away at each other's heads. (Nlacduff strides in, sizes up the situation in a glance, and hauls away at his rusty bioadsword, which refuses to leave the scab bard. He winds up making threaten, ing motions .at the • palsied: old. Thane and going after his gizzard with a knife. This all ends to the decided inconvenience of loth Macbeth and the audience. Now that is' that. You're in the second half of this column now and it's a different story, so listen. This is the gripping tale of a certain happening in the lives of several members of the Alpha Mo fraternity, famed home of Port folio 'characters. - It all started Saturday night when the boys made the pilgrim age over the hills and ten miles away to the holy city. There the playful fellows slopped up a few beers and generally bummed around. Just for the heck of it they beat up a couple of people who happened to get in.their road. Then they journeyed back to this center of culture and learning. Arriving at their chapter house they staggered downstaj.rsjo. the bar. There with magnificent fiban don-they finished up the evening breaking bottles • and ...,glasses against the cellar wall.
