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. Brown and Beige" Suite, which he
introduced at Carnegie Hall back in '43. It
comes in four movements—" Work Song," "Come
Sunday," "The - Blues," and "Three Dances:"
Here is the most nretentious and significant
• work from the pen of Duke Elling
ton, It traces the life of the Ne
gio through three hundred years
--through slavery, the wars, their
-` religious fervor; 'sorrow, joys and
their philosophies. - . • ,

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. One of them hacks a hole
through the stout castle wall by

continue to hack away at each

situation in a glance, and hauls
away at his rusty bioadsword,

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.
Nobody got killed; a grand : tine
.was had by all, and the Whole
fraternity turned up in Chapel an
Sunday.

record concerts in the northeast
lounge of Atherton-Hall Sunday.
