PAGE IWO isiqufiring Reporter • • ",s n 11) R u loess General approval of the dress rule for men's dormitory dining , halls was expressed by ten of 12 students interviewed by the in quiring reporter this week. Five answers to the question 'What is your opinion of the dress rule for men in dining halls?" expressed approval of the rule for both Sunday dinner and weekday dinners. Five students felt that Dean of Men To Hear Three Traffic Violators The Traffic Court Tuesday re ferred three persons to the dean of men with the recommendation that their cars be sent home. Of 31 cases which were sched uled to appear before the court, ten did not appear. In these cases, fines for viola tions are automatic unless the person can produce a legitimate excuse, James Dunlap, Traffic Court chairman, said. In cases of excused absences from hearings persons are re scheduled for the next court ses sion. Of the 21 persons who appear ed 51 violations were accounted for. One person who appeared had eight traffic violations recorded, Dunlap said. Thirty of the 51 violations were fined, making a $5l total. .Five persons who had third and fourth violations under extenuating cir cumstances were sent to the dean of men without the recommenda tion for sending the car home. Three persons were given sus pended fines, and two persons were dismissed with a warning against future violations. Eight violations were acquitted by the court. The general ruling for traffic violations is that a person pays $1 for the first offense; $4, second offense; and for the third offense, the person is referred to the dean of men, often with the recom mendation that his car be sent home. 2 Grads Complete Basic at Qua ntico Joseph Browne of Darby and Arthur Crow of Towson, Md., are among newly-commissioned Ma rine 2nd Lts. completing five month basic training at the Ma rine Corps Schools, Quantico, Va.

Players Will Treat Audience To 'Gay Twenties' Atmosphere By EDMUND REISS When Players present their adaptation of Frederick Lons dale's comedy, "On Approval" at 8 tonight at Center Stage, the aud ience will be treated to a farce with an atmosphere of life dur ing the Roaring Twenties. Tickets for the show are on sale for $1 at the Student'Union Desk in Old Main and at the door. Based in on character types, this comedy of manners is the story of an heiress and her friends. Although the setting for the play is England and Scotland in the 1920'5, it could be anywhere and anytime since the type of people represented are found all over the world, and their prob lems have a universal appeal. Maria Wislack, played by Ann Wylie, is an aging widow-heiress, By MARCIE MacDONALD there should be a rule for Sunday only; and two did not feel any dress rule at all is necessary. The opinions students expressed concerning the rule are: James Ristimaki, second semes ter pre-veterinary major: "The rule has its good and bad points, but I don't think it should create any hardships for students." Kenneth King, fourth semester geology and mineralogy major: "I'm all in favor of the rule for Sundays, but I can see how it would be a bother for guys com ing from labs to have to change clothes they don't wear 'their best clothes to labs, you know." Edward Lyman, 'second semester civil engineering major: "I ap prove of the rule. Coats and ties on Sundays and slacks and col lared shirts during the week give a nicer atmosphere to the dining halls." Loa Packard, sixth semester arts and letters major: "It may cause some inconvenience at first, but at most major colleges today dressing for meals is mandatory. An enforced rule of this kind here would certainly be in keeping with other high standards of the Uni versity.' Barbara Melford, fourth semes ter arts and letters major: "I defi nitely think fellows should dress according to the rule on Sundays and special dinner days, but I don't think it's necessary to have any requirements for dress on week nights." Olive Cals, sixth semester home economics major: "I don't think it's necessary to dress up for meals. Some boys wouldn't have a chance to change when they come back from classes." Leo Fremer, second semester mechanical engineering major: "I don't think much of the rule for week nights, but it's a good idea for Sunday:,. These fellows have to get dressed up once a week, at least." Robert Weil, • second semester industrial arts ma j or: "I don't think too much of the rule. The Nittany dining hall certainly isn't very conducive to - getting dressed up." Louis Camp, second semester business administration major: "I don't agree with the rule as ap plied to week nights, but it's a very good idea for Sundays." Marian Erdman, sixth semester home economics major: "I don't think it's necessary to have a spe cial rule for weekdays, as long as the fellows look fairly present able, but I think the Sunday dress requirements are good." Ora Dieffenderfer, sixth semes ter home economics major: "I ap- who still imagines herself young and attractive. She had lived an unhappy life with her former hus band and believed that he was the cause of her misery. She tells her friend, Helen Hayle, portrayed by Betsy Jones, that if a man ever proposes to her again, she and the prospective husband will live to gether for a month. If at the end of this experiment al period, each party decides the other has measured up to his ex pectations, they would get mar ried. If not, they will have had a good time with, as Maria says, "no ,harm done." Richard Halt . ° n, played by Leonard Tarnowski, has •had for twenty years a smoldering pas sion for Maria, but being overshy, he has never told her of his feel ings. Finally, reinforced by the arguments of his friend, the Duke of Bristol, he gathers up enough courage to tell Maria he loves her.

Ryan Found Guilty Of Assault, Battery Charles Ryan, former student at the University, was found guilty of assault and battery in Centre County Court Tuesday, in' con nection with the assault of Jack Whigham, of the borbugh, last December. Ryan was originally charged with assault with intent to rob, but was found guilty only of as sault and battery. He was fined $lOO and ordered to pay costs by Judge Ivan B. Walker. prove of the rule. Going to college is a socialization process in addi tion to training in special fields. Dressing for meals is one of the good things men are expected to do after their college years, so why shouldn't they get used to the idea here?" Barbara Cartwright, fourth se mester home economics major: "I think the dress rule is a good thing. Fellows usually have to dress up for meals at home, why not here? The girls in dormitories have dress standards too. I think the boys have no complaint." Myron Cole plays the part•of the duke. Immediately . Maria acquaints Richard with her ingenious plan, and the two prospective mates journey to Maria's country home in Scotland, accompanied by the two friends, Helen and the duke, to spend a month together on ap proval. Maria and the duke are both the same kind of person, in that they are selfish and inconsiderate to the feelings of everyone includ ing their friends. Helen and Rich ard decide that they must help these two, and they come upon a plan designed to make Maria and the duke fit people to live with. The language of the play is sparkling and full of farcial witti cisms. In farces the author usual ly finds it difficult to bring his work to a close, but that isn't the case in "On Approval." Lonsdale's co - ^"1- :ion, fits perfectly with the rest of the play.
