THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1952 'Heiress Features 19 th Century H air-Dos By J3ETTIE. LQUX . . . It’s the little things' that count/Often it’s''the tiniest details that make the difference beween a mediocre, amateurish production and the polished performances for which have gained a name; The' real problem in the makeup department, according to manager Ed Girod, is the hair-dos for the women.. At the; tiine of the play, the middle 1800’s, hair was worn long,. parted 'in the middle, with a bun in the back. As Ed says, “Not one woman on campus has hair like that.” In addition to having rather short' hair, most women have it tapered into different lengths, making it-’ even harder to work with; To solve this, false hair has been used on all the women ex cept Betty Lou Morgan and Isa bella Cooper. Big. Contrast Ed also found he had difficulty in transforming Kathryn Scheetz, a vivacious, attractive brunette, into the plain, , rather dowdy heiress, Catherine Sloper. Accord ing to Ed, .“Kathy looked so good she didn’t seem like Catherine in the play.” Although Kathy at first contemplated lightening her dark hair, it was finally decided that the new coiffure would do the trick Through the first act and most of the second she wears it rather severely with a spinste'rish bun in the back, in contrast to the spit-curls • and horsetail ’arrange ment designed for Regina Fried man, who plays the part of her attractive cousin.'Ed will also use makeup to “tone,'down the nicer features of Kathy’s face.” A change-in hair style in the last scene helps to convey the change in the heiress’ personality. “As Kathy matures and becomes a little wiser she gets a little more’ chic,” Ed explained. Final Rush It would seem that Charles Schulte, who plays the father, Dr. Austin Sloper,. used- his razor too hastily. Until the end of last sum mer he had his own beard and mustache. Now he must wear a false one. He is also going through the rigors of hair-dyeing, and must lacquer his naturally curly hair to straighten it out. Although the costumes were Students Devise Devious Ways To Improve Study Procedure The blissful frivolity associated with hot-dogging and loafing moves into a gloomy background as the austerity of close-approach ing finals -catches students within its grasp. Like a scorpion, the torturous two weeks reach forth with vicious tentacles, bringing students into a hopeless maze ■ of, formulas and theories, facts and dates —unfortunately the chrono logical kind. Consciences begin .to prickle, dusty books are warily removed from dustier shelves, pencil shar peners groan under overwork, and the horrible business of pre paring for finals—-postponed .un til the last possible moments—is underway. Distasteful as it all sounds) stu dents, with their characteristic inherent ingenuity, have -devised methods to make studying for finals at least a trifle less dis tasteful. ,</ General Assumptions The typical student of the “Oh, why didn’t I. start sooner” cate gory ■ settles himself comfortably with textbook, borrowed notes, chewed-up. pencil, cigarettes, light refreshments, and . com plaints. Attired perhaps in un ironed pajamas, he turns to Chapter T, Introduction, with a sigh.' But first a cigarette—arid theri perhaps some light refreshments. The student, of average" intelli gence compromises, “I’ve sle p t during this , class twice a week, usually tTh.r e e times. Being a light sleeper, in my waking mo ments I surely must have ab sorbed the essentials of this in troduction.” And so. to Chapter 11, General Assumptions. - Perhaps we should credit the student with even above-average intelligence. “If • the assumptions are general, and if they’re •to be assumed; maybe I could skip this chapter, too.” Problem Solved But succeeding chapters delve more ' deeply) and the conscien tious student , plows .on, The min- rHE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA rented from Philadelphia and ar rived-late last week—which is “early” according to Prim Die fenderfer, costume manager— there is still plenty fdr the cos tume crew to do. While well planned in advance, there is al ways the chance that a costume won’t seem “just right” at dress rehearsal, and sewing machines and fingers fly with only one day to go. Interesting Set There are quite a few costume changes between scenes. One, in fact, must be made in no more time than a minute. It so happens that the rich red of a dress that Kathy wears in one scene is one of her most flattering colors. The 'rather gau dy costume, incongruous to the personality of the heiress, is a device to accentuate the shy, re tiring manner of young Catherine Sloper. Construction of the set, which took about five weeks, was one of the biggest problems. Sliding doors, contemporary with the period,’ have been mounted on oblong boxes and hung from the top of the set. The scenery it self was designed by director Wal ter H. Walters, who had to make some changes from the original plan because of the limitations of Schwab Auditorium. In order to give an aged quality to a number of oil paintings which adorn Dr. Sloper’s front parlor, fine black rayon net has been stretched over the' scenes and por traits, which were painted by Mitzi Olessker expressly for the play. Theater-goers might also notice the chandelier, which was de signed by Walters and made out of papier-mache and chicken wire by. Mesrop Kesdekian, technical director. utes tick away.

This year’s cage activity halts with the series end. Intramural activity will resume in White Hall at the beginning of the semester with various .indoor activities scheduled. Repeating Tuesday’s perform ance, Army remained at the helm throughout the game. The win ners produced it’s best scoring quarter when it surged ahead. 11-3, at the end of the first per iod. With the aid of several foul shots; Navy narrowed the margin to 17-11 at halftime. In the opening minute of third period play, Navy came up- to within three points -of Army’s lead after Barbara Weyand col lected a foul shot and Ann Miller scored a field goal. Army met the situation as Gei't Hooper started netting field goals to close the quarter at 23-15. The two teams, could only score nine points in the final period and the game ended with Army in the lead, 26-21. The overabundance of fouls throughout the game slowed the contest considerably. Navy made 13 out of 21 attempts. Army a mere four of 21. Hopper was high scorer for the night with 12 tallies. Miller claimed 10 points. Council to Run Candy Machine Pollock council voted Tuesday night to take charge of the candy vending machines in the Pollock dormitories, and to investigate the possibility of giving the ciga rette vending franchise to some new person. A letter from the administra tion suggested that the council take over the franchise of the candy machines. Joseph Haines, president of the council said that the former franchise' for candy and cigarette machines in the area had been revoked. It was suggested that the cig arette franchise be re-assigned because of the tax problem in volved in selling cigarettes. The committee named to investigate this plan includes Haines, Frank Schrey, and Donald Douglas. , Recommendations that cigarette machines be placed in dorms nine and 12, and also in the Pub were considered. New washing machines will be -placed in service in the Pollock area as soon as the new electrical cable to supply sufficient power is installed. The cable is in the possession of the physical plant, Haines annouriced, but can not be installed until an appropriate power source is obtained. Following the meeting, the dorm presidents made a tour of the food service, facilities in the Foods. Building. This trip was made to better acquaint the presi derits with the processing of food, and through them, the members of their respective dormitories. or perhaps you might call.it glamour.

Dagget, who has the distinction of being the first male food supervisor in a girls’ dormitory at the College. Dagget took over at Simmons Hall at the beginning of January, after working at the West Dorm as assistant food supervisor last year. “Clean plates and facial expres sions are the only rewarding things in food service,” he ob served. At first, he was reluctant to accept a job in a girls’ dormi tory. but after the transfer, there was “no adjustment,” and he likes it very much. When asked if the girls’ tastes were different, Daggett said that girls definitely don’t like corned beef hash, while the boys seem to like it. “Girls seem to prefer lighter desserts and creamed dishes, while boys like more ‘sink your-teeth-into-it’ food,” he said. As he becomes more orientated, he’d like to try out some of his own ideas, and “prove that men can do as good a job as women.” Dagget was graduated from the College in August of 1950, a ma jor in hotel administration. Col lege dining halls are not new to him, because he was a waiter in a girls’ dining hall while an un dergraduate.
