The providing of care for these
children is an annual affair, but
this is the first time Kiwanis has
come on campus •to finance the
operation. .
“Hay Fever” first opened, in
June, 1925, in the Ambassador’s
Theatre, London. After a success
ful run there, the show toured
the United States, opening in Oc
tober, 1925, at Maxine Elliott’s
Theater in New York City.
While there, the play was gen
erally acknowledged to be the
most amusing light comedy of the
season, mainly because of the fine,
unusual characters. They faintly
resemble Oscar Wilde creations
advanced to a more modern date
because of their aristocratic bohe
miarfism. The family group in
“Hay Fever” belongs to the upper
middle class so far as its wealth
is concerned, but the relatives
have a tendency to lean toward
the aesthetic and arty, .which
really causes them to be placed
in an unclassifiable category.
Judith Bliss, the mother of the
family, is by far the most in
triguing character. A past leading
lady in the theater world, she
imagines herself still loved and
adored by her public. She refuses
to admit that the years have made
her older and lives in a dream
world of past performances.
There is no real plot connected
with the play. Coward has taken
a certain incident and foiled mer
rily along, neither looking to the
right nor left. There is no theme
or moral to the comedy at all,
and there is no definite direction
to which the action advances. The
only thing Coward wants is for
his audience to be entertained and
leave having enjoyed itself. •
Tickets for the show cost 60
cents for tonight and $1 for to
morrow and Saturday. They are
on sale' at the Student Union desk
in Old Main.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Senate Group
Drops Charge
Against PiKA
A recommendation made by the
■lnterfratemity Council that Pi
Kappa Alpha social fraternity not
be punished for the misconduct
of two members was upheld yes
terday by the Senate committee
on student affairs, but the group
warned the fraternity to be ex
tremely careful for the remainder
of the year.
The action, announced by Dr.
Henry S. Brunner, chairman, was
initiated by the arrest of two
members in Bellefonte at 1 a.m.
Oct. 2 for disorderly conduct and
driving while under the influence
of alcoholic beverages. Both IFC
and the committee investigated
the case and IFC reached the con
clusion that no violation of Col
lege rules occurred and recom
mended that the individuals be
judged'alone.
The Senate committee heard
the case- and passed the -follow
ing motion: “That it is the belief
of the committee that College
rules were broken and that activi
ties in the house led to the con
duct of the two members, but
lacking .clear evidence the recom
mendation of IFC is adopted.
However, the chapter has brought
upon itself a situation under
which it will require more than
normal surveillance by the office
of the Dean of Men for the bal-/
ance of the academic year.”
Thomas Schott, IFC president,
said the IFC felt any affects of
a fraternity’s • social function
early in the. evening would have
worn off by the time of arrest and
so the only logical conclusion was
that the men indulged while in
Bellefonte.
