'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

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.”

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

director.

Army Takes
Tournament
Cage Title
Army swept the Army-Navy
tournament series by downing
Navy 26-21 in it’s second straight
win in White Hall last night.
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.

( Food Tastes
For Women ,
Men Differ
Feeding 550 women is “differ
ent from feeding 1600 men,” ac
cording to Martin C. 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.
