The Ben Hecht- Charles MacArthur farce plays tonight and tomorrow night at Schwab Auditorium. Tickets are on sale for $1 at the Student Union desk in Old Main. '2oth' Creeps to NY As Sarachek Stars The "Twentieth Century" streamliner left Schwab Auditorium for New York last night with a passenger list of 22 Players. It was a slow journey—in fact, the train almost broke down several times— but after 2 1 / 2 hours it crept into Grand Central Station. A small first-night audience didn't seem to mind, however, and was right with the limited when it finally pulled in. The local group's production of the Ben Hecht-Charles MacAr thur force, anticipated by many because of the play's novelty and potentialities—it has been suc-. cessful both on Broadway and in the movies is a disappoint ment when compared to the high caliber work of last year and the current Center Stage production. With the exception of Morris Sarachek in particular, who does a splendid job with the rich role of producer Oscar Jaffe, and a few other Players' standbys in minor roles, the cast is marked by just plain amateurism the result of inexperience. This is not to be sneered at, but rather to be remedied, if possible, and otherwise avoided Sound, Lighting Effective Young talent might better be first tried out in Five O'clock Theater or in a small role than in the feminine lead, at the ex pense of both the other actors and playgoers. The play is helped along by good work on the part of the sound and lighting crews, who have produced unusual effects to give a feeling of motion to the "train." The set has been built so that action going on simultan eously in the three compartments of car 186 may be seen from all sides of the auditorium. Because one compartment is usually spot lighted the action is complemen tary rather than confusing. Cos tumes are also good. Strange Characters Abound The play itself, built around comical situations, and incredu lous characters, finds Jaffe badly in need of a hit play, a star, and money with which to produce• it. The crafty producer manages to get the compartment next to his former mistress, successful ac tress Lily Garland, but his ef- (Continued on page eight) By BETTIE LOUX Action Delayed On New AIM Review Board The proposed Association of In dependent Men Judicial Board of Review, which received prelimi nary approval by the AIM Board of Governors Wednesday night, must be passed as an amendment to the AIM constitution and will probably not be formed until spring, William Shifflett, AIM president, said yesterday. It is expected that the proposal will be discussed at the coming meetings of the four AIM coun cils and will be voted on at the Board of Governors' meeting Nov. 19. Two-thirds of the mem ber councils must approve a con stitutional amendment; that is, it must be passed by three of the four councils. The board is. not expected to be formed until after the election of new AIM officers late in the spring. It will take until the end of this semester or the beginning of the next until all details of the Judicial Board's setup are com pleted. The first chairman of the Ju dicial Board will be appointed by the Board of Governors in the spring ' according to present plans. The remainder of the board will consist of two members from each of the member councils.

Also Recommended By MARSHALL 0. DONLEY A proposal that could result in a lengthened Thanksgiving vaca tion and a shortened Christmas vacation. for students was ap proved by All-College Cabinet last night. Arthur Rosfeld, president of Interfraternity Council, moved that cabinet approve a proposal which would add a day and one half to the Thanksgiving vacation —the Monday and Tuesday be fore the vacation—and subtract this time from the end of Christ= mas vacation. To Go Before Council Rosfeld's proposal followed cab inet's approval of a motion by Jane Mason, Home Economics Student Council president, that classes on Nov. 22, the day of the Pitt-Penn State football game, be canceled if the football team wins its next two games. Both Miss Mason's motion and Rosfeld's ask that cabinet recom mend these actions to the Col lege's Council of Administration. As the College calendar now stand s, Thanksgiving vacation would begin at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday; Nov. 25. Christmas vacation would begin at 1:10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20 and end at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6. ISCB Suggested Plan The approved cabinet proposal would subtract all-day. Monday and Tuesday morning classes from the beginning of Thanksgiving vacation and add all-day Monday and Tuesday morning classes at the end of Christmas vacation. The Council of Administration will receive the motions in letter from cabinet. Miss Mason's motion resulted from suggestions of the 'lnter school Council Board, of which she is a member. Cabinet also approved a recom mendation made by David Pell nitz, president of the .13oard of Publications, that a plan of joint support for the College radio sta tion be sought from student gov ernment and the College. • Indicated Split - The recommendation included the proposal that th l e President's committee on the radio station be asked to consider the joint sup port plan and develop a method of carrying it out. Pellnitz indicated a one-third, two-thirds split of the support was probable, with the College offering the larger amount. The report of cabinet radio committee, offered earlier on the agenda by Chairman Emory Rich ardson, showed this would mean a cost of $2OOO to student govern ment and $4OOO to the College per annum.
