Making as great sport of the play as the scoffing Goldsmith did of the artificial, stylized Res toration comedy type, the well cast" group clown merrily through its intricacies, complications, and carefully set-up coincidences. Not one, but several cases of mistaken identity .give playgoers a feeling of "being in the know" which undoubtedly adds to the enjoyment. •"Asides," in which the actors slyly' Jwit each other also' contribute to this feeling. , The play concerns the efforts of Squire Hardcastle to marry off his lovely daughter Kate, to a young suitor whose tongue-tied shyness makes him a kind of boob when conversing with polite company.

Krasnansky, in presenting the proposal, said that the present campaigning by the Radio Guild has taken unethical trends, and that the class gift is becoming a financial campaign. In view of these facts, Krasnansky presented the following proposal: 1. That publicity on the senior class gift of the poster, leaflet, and advertising nature by under graduate organizations be pro hibited under penalty of disquali fying the gift suggestion that the publicity supports. Informative Articles 2. That it be required of the senior class president that he submit to cabinet a report on the gift suggestions and other per tinent information on voting ;for the senior class gift at least two weeks before the voting starts. 3. That informative articles ap pearing in the Daily Collegian concerning the gift suggestions come from the class gift com mittee. 4. That the All-College elec tions committee handle the count ing of ballots for both the gift and the Class Day honors and that the results be made known. 5. That the fourth proposal be put in effect at once. Publicity Is Problem In cabinet's consideration of the first point of the recommen dation, Craine questioned why, in the case of the senior class gift. cabinet would have the power to determine what should be done. He pointed out that the commit tee chairman is appointed by the senior class president. The publicity problem was further confused when Craine as serted that the Daily Collegian has been the deciding factor in previous senior class gift selec tions. Clair George, chairman of the Board of Dramatic and For ensics, then proposed that the problem be put to a committee to find a method of equalizing the publicity for the senior class gift. Cabinet unanimously passed the resolution, and John Laubach, All-College president, in turn, ap pointed Richard Lemyre, junior class president, chairman of that committee.
