From the' time the Golux came down-stage to tell a story to 'the end where the good people went off to live happily ever after, the audience was hit with all kinds of comedy ranging from spark ling humor to low Abbot and Cos tello burlesque. Albert Kalson, as the magical golux who is con tinually philosophizing that time is for dragonflies and angels, was superb. It was his job to intro duce the story and be a humororus guiding light for the other char acters. He couldn't have done it better. • The play takes place in the ro- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

Reigns Thesis mantic Middle Ages and is the story of how a disguised prince rescues a beautiful princess from the castle of a villainous duke. Throughout this simple plot ap pear all sorts of fantastic char acters, such as an elf who is continually disappearing, .a duke Who is so cold that he freezes all the clocks in his castle, and a woman who cries jewels rather than tears. The cast is constantly leaving the stage to walk through the audience although the set is one of the most colorful we have ever seen here. Iseman has made complete use of, his 'talents in producing a show designed to en tertain everyone. He has placed an intricate lighting system around the room so that the audi ence is always wondering what will be lit up next. Officials Consider Deferment'Changes Defense mobilization official s are studying proposed changes to tighten up on cTriliq nit4;44 ,college students, according to Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective; service director. In a statement on Monday Hershey said the change would be come effective in September' and would - principally affect freshmen, sophomores an d gracit*tC stturd •••• dents. One of the changes he has rec ommended in negotiations with the Manpower Commission of the Office of D e f ens e Mobilization would allow high school seniors to take the Selective Service Col lege Qualification test. The test is now confined to college students. If this change is approved, up.r. Pennsylvania's lowest dr a f t call since last September was fixed today at 2244 men for next month. State Selective. Service head quarters said that practically all of the Pennsylvanians induct ed would be in the 10-year-old class. Director Henry •M Gross said 2476 men will be examined to fill the state quota. Last Sep tember the state call was 763. coming freshmen who make a passing grade of 70 on the test or who have a standing in the upper one-third of the male members of the freshman class would be con sidered for educational deferment by their local draft boards. In stead of having to go the full year, as now required, a freshman could establish his class standing after one qUarter or semester. Under the proposed chan g e sophomores are required to make a passing grade of 72 instead of 70 on the test. To be exempt from the draft because of class stand ing, the sophomore must maintain an average in the upper one-third, instead of two-thirds, if the pro posal is accepted. Regulations affecting juniors and seniors would remain as they are. Barons Change Elections Date Election of officers for Barons, Nittany-Pollock social organiza tion, was postponed until fall be cause only a few members ;were present Monday at the last meet ing of the semester. Retiring president, Alan Reeves, turned organization ma terial to members, Arthur Ed wards and Thomas Claypoole. Claypoole suggested a picnic be spcnsored by the Nittany-Pollock area at the end of orientation week next fall. Reeves agreed to write letters to all area residents at the beginning of next semester to explain -the organization and purpose of the Barons. Chapel Choir Tryouts Baritone, bass and alto candi dates for next year's Chapel Choir may make tryout appointments until Monday in 216 Carnegie. Tryouts will be held next week. Candidates who can attend a choir camp Sept. 9-13 are needed, Mrs. Willa C. Taylor, choir di rector, has announced. as I sernan Production Another outstanding job of act ing was done by Gordon Greer as the fearful duke. Brandishing his long sword and terrifying his subjects, he stomps around to•the delight of the audience screaming his hatred of anything good in humanity. Although he 'is , the vil lain of the story, he is a likeable villain, even in his many rages. Dave Owens as Zorn, the dis guised Rrince and hero, also gave a fine piece of acting as he strove to complete the almost-impossible tasks required to win ;the hand of Saralinda, the beautiful prin cess played by Marcia Yoffee. This show was definitely one of the better plays presented at the College this year. Perhaps if more are produced so entertain ing as this, the town movies will have to close down for lack of business. WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1M Young Coils FEPC Out Temporarily HARRISBURG, May 19 (Al— Chairman Edward M. Young (R.- Mercer) of the House labor ' re lations committee today ruled out any, action on fair employment practices legislation until the tax deadlock is broken. The administration-backed bill to -ban. discrimination in employ ment or union membership be cause of race, creed, color, or na tional origin calls for a $750,000 appropriation for administration -purposes. "With that appropriation to be considered," Young said, "it would be completely idiotic to act on FEPC until we found out where the money is coming from." The lawmakers, who took a short recess for today's primary election, reconvene tomo r r o w with taxes still the prime issue. Young, who voted against FE PC in 1951 when the bill passed the House but died in a Senate committee, said there was a possi bility he may-vote for the meas ure this year. But he was frankly skeptical that his committee will act on the controversial issue until the legis lature devises a way of plugging a $157 million gap in Gov. John S. Fine's proposed $1.4 ' billion budget for the commonwealth. The governor is actively back ing the FEPC bill as he did in 1951. He plans to meet with the state council for FEPC Monday to lay plans to push it through the legislature. But on taxes, a blank page ° stares at the tax-hunting lawmak ers. SU Construction Is on Schedule Construction of the Student Union .Building is running almost laccording to schedule, Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, has announced. Recent inclement w e aft he r caused minor delays in the exca vating, he said. However, work men have been able to progress ahead of schedule on the concrete work, Wiegand said. A jurisdictional dispute between the labor union and steel workers is noW under way, and if it con tinues much longer it may hinder progress on the building, he said. The Student Union Building, ex pected to be completed by the fall of 1954, will cost about $2,867,000. With the exception of a few minor details, the two 22-foot py lons which will form a campus gateway at the intersection of Pollock road and U.S. Route 322 are completed, Wiegand said. Reference Book Missing From College Library An important book, Winchell's "Guidel to Beference Books," has been missing from the library for some weeks, according to Mildred A. Ailman, reference librarian. This copy Is valued highly be cause it contains records of the library's holdings not yet record ed in other copies, she said. It- is important that the book ,be returned promptly to one of the desks of the library, she said. g It WI.
