Any way, "Anything Goes" is certainly the best Thespian production this reviewer has ever seen..

Minor Flaws This doesn't mean that there . are flaws . in the production. There' a'r e some, but they are minor ones. Certainly the over all presentation made for a com pletely enjoyable evening.

There were a few times when his ac tion's seemed rehearsed and lack big in spontaneity, but his com manding singing and good com edy sense more than made up for it. Pat Hale was properly blowsy as the tempestuous Reno Sween ey, but once, just once, I'd like to see her let herself go com pletely. That would be something to see.. Joe Bird, as the "Rev. Dr. Moon," in reality America's pub lic enemy number 13, turned in an excellent performance. His portrayal of the timid, bumbling gangster was one of the high spots of the evening. Nancy Thomas was competent as Hope Harcourt, the typical sweet young thing without whom no musical comedy would be complete. Tom Lewis created a believ able caricature of a prim English- Carnival Schedule Bird Excellent Senate's Unanimous Vote Backs Committee Report . Graduating seniors will continue to take final exam inations. The College senate yesterday refused to eliminate them. The senate unanimously approved the academic stan dards committee's recommendation that the finals be re tained. Both the senior class and All-College cabinet had unanimously voted to ask their elimination. Prof. Victor Beede's committee considered the proposal during the past month. John Erickson, senior class president, and. Mar lin Brenner, parliamentarian for All-College cabinet, met several times with' the senate group. The senate sent the proposal to com mittee at the March meeting, after President Milton S. Eisenhower read it. door tonight. Spring Will Be Theme Spring will be the theme for the semi-formal affair.

Featured with Anthony's or chestra will be vocalists Ronnie Deauville, Betty Holiday, and the Skyliners quintet. 'Featured in strumentalists will be Billy Us selton, tenor saxophonist, and Eddie Butterfield, trumpeter and valve trombonist. Anthony has capitalized on the popularity of Glenn Miller styl (continued on page eight) man, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh. Harry Woolever has outdone himself with his spirited, colorful choreography. The . dance routines almost perfectly captured the spirit of the wonderful Cole Por ter music. Precision Poor The precision and timing of the dance groups was, on the whole, rather sloppy. In the hornpipe dance to the breezy "Lady Fair" this was particularly noticeable. Probably one of the best-planned routines in the show, it was marred because of faulty coor dination. The Thespians picked an almost sure-fire hit this time. The show has everything —Cole Porter songs, good comedy lines, reason pbly beautiful girls not over dressed, and, of course, sex. Both in Mr. Porter's lyrics and in the book itself, this is probably the sexiest show ever seen' on this campus. (continued on page eight.) PRICE FIVE CENTS Collegian Not Present Neither Brenner nor Erickson was present at the senate yester day. The Collegian was not per mitted to have a reporter at the meeting. The committee report listed three reasons for retaining the finals. They said the examinations integrate the work of a course, train the student to think under pressure, and supply an achieve ment yardstick at the end of a co u r se. Provision for certain courses not requiring finals are covered under senate regulations 32 and 33; the committee said. (These regulations provide that course finals may be eliminated by the department and the execu tive officer of the school con cerned, and that students may be excused from finals in the same way.) (continued on page eight) Finals Proposal 'Bust' Erickson By BUD FENTON Senior class president John Erickson told All-College cabinet last: night that the attempt to eliminate final examinations for seniors was. a "bust" but that he hoped "we've planted the seed for further efforts in the future." In making his report on the project, Erickson- said that the senate committee that discussed the finals with Marlin Brenner and himself seemed to feel that "we were attacking the system of education." The committee felt that, with out the examination, everything is lost, according to Erickson. He added that "we didn't feel that they were reasonable." James Worth, chairman of the dritiking colloquy committee, ap peared before cabinet to ask for a postponement of the colloquy scheduled for April 20 and 21. Worth said that only one of three .nationally-known speakers contacted could accept the invi tation to speak during the pro gram because of short notice. The committee chairman asked cabinet to postpone the colloquy until next fall. President Robert Davis said that it would be recommended to the new cabinet which will be in office next year, after cabinet granted the postponement. Bids For Fellowship To Close .
