Men # s Judicial
Hears First
Traffic Case
Opens Meetings to
Collegian Reporters
Suspension of a. $3 fine for
traffic violations was the decis
ion of Tribunal, men’s judicial
organization, Tuesday night, in
the first case aired before it this
semester.
The dependent had been charg
ed with illegal possession, of an
automobile tag and illegal park
ing. He was found guilty on both
counts, which, would involve a
fine of $2 for the first and $1 for
the second. By a majority vote,
however, Tribunal meiribers de
cided to. suspend sentence since
the defendent could to some ex
tent justify both charges.
This meeting marked the
first lime that ,a Daily Colleg
ian reporter has been allowed
to sit in on Tribunal hearings.
Robert Keller,, chairman of Tri
bunal, made the’decision to open
the hearings to the Daily Colleg
ian earlier this week. He speci
fied, however, that names of- de
pendents would not be published
in order, to “protect their reputa
tions” ori campus.
“We are. principally interested
in beating this traffic problem,”
Keller said, “ and not in punish
ing viplators.”
i Tribunal warned traffic vio
lators that police may , restrict
all student. cars 'in’'the Stale .
-College area if 'lhe' traffic prob- •
lem becomes more severe.

Thespians Revive Artists Course
In New Production At Schwab

come Willy”, a comedy in two acts at Schwab Auditorium.
Excellent seats are still available for all three performances,
but the alumni are urged to purchase their tickets as soon as poss

The Thespians have come up with an Artist’s Course slated for
the third scene of the first act.

done away with the original Art

left a definite gap in the cultural
education of the student body.

two parts under the supervision
of Mr. Virgil Neilly, ex-Thespian
and present member of the fac
ulty. It will be composed of a

Band, and will be followed by an
operatic quartette rendering “La
Donna Mobile” from Verdi’s
“Kigoletto’. Mr. Merrill Sporkin,
“prominent e amp us maestro”
will conduct the symphony.
The entire production is in file
hands of Thespian faculty advis
er, Ray Fortunato, and, is co-di
rected by Bob Koser, Fred Leu
schner, Sid Manes, and Sid Si
mon. Choreography is in charge
of Harry Woolever, who directed
the dance routines in last spring’s
“Poor Mr. Vamum.”
