Open
Work
A general Open House Committee composed of open house
cominittee chairmen from each college last night began work on a
newsletter to be sent to all Pennsylvania high schools concerning
the combined open house program set for April 22.
The chairmen met with the Intercollege Council Board to 'begin
planning the open house program
which will covreiata similar pro
grams conducted each year by
the individual college councils.
Patricia Farrell, physical edu
cation; William Childs, chemistry
and physics: and Bernard Carson,
engineering, were named to the
newsletter committee and will
select other committee members.
•
To Meet Regularly
Donald Bell, ICCB president,
suggested that the chairmen meet
regularly with their respective
committees and then meet with
ICCB, also regularly, to correlate
their plans.
Bruce Lieske, Liberal Arts, was
named temporary chairman of
the group, and Elizabeth Jones,
Liberal "Arts, was named tem
porary secretary.
The colleges are combining
their.- open house programs this
year in view of the Centennial
celebration. Students from all
high schools in Pennsylvania will
be invited by means of the news
letter to become acquainted with
the facilities of the University.
Larger Scale
The program will consist, as in
previous years, mainly of tours,
exhibits and speakers, but will be
conducted on a much larger scale.
General information stations will
be set up and a general pamphlet
distributed.
A meeting prior to the opening
of the program will be held at
some central location with a
speaker who will outline the pro
gram and direct visitors to the
exhibits of their choice.
A general theme will be adopt
ed for the program. The College
of. Chemistry and Physics will
conduct their portion of the pro
gram in conjunction with the Sci
ence Fair which will be spon
sored by the conference of Penn
sylvania High School Teachers.
Engineering Plans
The College of Engineering
plans a program of exhibits and
experiments to be held in the
laboratory facilities. of the Col
lege.
A varied program of tours show
ing the facilities of the College
of Physical Education with ex
hibitions and demonstrations per
formed in them is being planned
by the college.
The College of the Liberal Arts
may use the facilities of Players
and Thespians in its demonstra
tions which will be integrated in
to the tours. Plans of the other
colleges were not ready for _re
lease.

have a lower All-University aver
age.
He used the . examples of a stu
dent receiving a 90 per cent grade
or a scant 3 in the three-credit
c our s es and an 80 per cent or
scant 2 in three other three-credit
courses. This student's All-Uni
versity average would be a 2.5 or
dean's list rank, while his numeri
cal average would be 85.
A second student could receive
an 89 per cent or high two in six
three credit courses. While his nu
merical . average, 89, would be
higher than that of the first stu
dent, he would have a lower All-
University average of 2.0.
Lutter proposed two methods
for remedying the situation.
The first calls for marking the
quantity and quality of work done
separately. Quality would be
graded in the same way that it
is now, but quantity would . only
be taken into consideration when
totaling the number of credits a
student needed for graduation.
Under the second method, a
strict numerical system would be
used with students receiving their
actual percentage grade in r.•ach
course rather than the present 3.0
system.
Jazz Concert Sunday
Danny Grove and his "Sadistic
Six Minus One" will be featured
in the Winter Jazz Concert at
3 p.m. Sunday. The concert, pre
sented by Phi Mu Alpha, honorary
and professional music fraternity
will be held in Schwab Auditor

Poet's Wife Entertains Lit Club
Mrs. Edgar Lee Masters, widow
of the celebrated poet, entertained
Belles Lettres members Tuesday
night with anecdotes about her
husband and herself. Speaking in
a noticeable Middle Western
twang of "My Literary Connec
tions," Mrs. Masters told many
personal details in the life of her
husband.
She told of his preference for
his father's ancestors over his
mother's New England ancestory.
Th Masters were Southerners, "a
little wilder and a little more in
teresting."
American Scene
The bulk of the program con
sisted of reading and telling of
her husband's poetry, which dealt
greatly with the American scene
both past and present.

joyable part of the program was
her reading from Edgar Lee Mas
ter's "Litchi Nuts," a series of de
lightful poems on the Chinese in
America. This volume was -in
spired by Master's profound in

and literature. The poems were
filled with the strange wisdom of
Oriental philosophy.
Old Clock
Mrs. Masters also read "Turzzy
Potter," which was inspired by
an old •clock in a favorite Italian
restaurant.
Of his prose works she gave
a passage from "The Sangamon,"
one of Master's "River Series."
She did not read from his fa
mous "Spoon River Anthology"
because she felt it was so well
known to all.

DECEMBER AND MAY: ACT II
Synopsis of Act 1: A middle-aged English Professor named Phipps
has fallen desperately in love with a rosy-kneed coed named Mc-
Fetridge. Phipps doesn't know how to go about courting Miss
McFetridge, for, after all, he is a professor -in the autumn of his
life, and she is a coed with rosy knees. Professor Twonkey, who
shares an office with Phipps, proposes the following plan: Phipps
will ask Miss McFetridge to come to his office for a conference late
in the afternoon. He will be urbane and charming and make fright
fully witty remarks about English lit, and Miss McFetridge will
laugh and laugh. After an hour of this high-type hilarity, Phipps
will look at his watch, exclaim at the lateness of the hour, and insist
on driving Miss McFetridge home. On the way home, he-will pass a
theatre that shows French movies. They'll see the movie, then have
an exquisite French dinner, and Miss McFetridge will be so enchanted
that she cannot but yield to his suit.
So at the beginning of Act H, we find Phipps in his office awaiting
the arrival of the poor young innocent. His hair is brushed; his
nails are clean; he has new leather patches on his elbows. There is
a knock on the door. He opens it and admits a gorgeous creature with
blue eyes and pink kneecaps.
PHIPPS: Ah, Miss McFetridge. Come in, my dear. Won't you 'sit
down? Cigarette?
Miss Ma': Ooh, Philip Morris! I think they're marry, don't you?
PHIPPS : I do indeed.
Miss McF: Hey, prof, would you mind opening a fresh pack?
PHIPPS: But I just opened-this one a little while ago. It's perfectly
Miss McF: I know, prof, but I like to hear the snap when the
pack opens.
PHIPPS : Very well, my dear.
(He opens a fresh snap-open pack of Philip Morris. Miss
McFetridge claps her hands delightedly when she hears the
snap.)
Miss McF: Hey, that fractures zne! Man, I flip when I hear that
crazy snap! Do another one.
PHIPPS: All right
(He snaps open a'nother, pack of Philip Morris)
Miss McF: (Ecstatically) Isn't that the living, breathing end? Do
two at once.
PHIPPs: Well, if you insist ...
(He does two at once)
Miss McF : More! More!
PHIPPS : I'm afraid that's all I have.
Miss McF: Oh ... Well, what's up, prof? What did you want to
see me about?
PHIPPS : Oh, nothing in particular. Just wanted to have a little
chat, find out how you're enjoying the Shakespeare lectures.
Miss McF: I don't know,. prof. By me Shakespeare is strictly a
square.
PHIPrs: Indeed? Well, I must say I find your attitude refreshing.
One is so inclined toward slavish admiration when it comes to the
Bard. People forget that in many quarters Shakespeare is regarded
quite critically. Take, for exaMple, the opinion of Shaw. -
Miss McF : Artie? •
PHIPPS : George Bernard ...You know, of course, his famous words.
Miss McF : I sure don't, dad.
PHIPPS : Shaw said he would like to dig up Shakespeare and throw
stones at him.
Miss McF : Did he dig him?
PHIPPS : No, I don't believe so.
Miss McF: I don't dig him either.
PHIPPS : (Looking at watch) Good heavens, I had no idea it was
so late. Come, my dear, I'll drive you home.
Miss McF : No, thanks. I always walk home. It's good for the
circulation in your legs. I got the best circulation in my legs of the
whole sophomore class. Ever notice how rosy my knees are?
PHIPPS : As a matter of fact, yes ... Look, you sure you don't want
a ride home? There's an excellent French movie on the way.
Miss McF : Not me, dad. I hate French pictures. The sub-titles
always disappear before I can read 'em. But if you want to go to the
movies, there's a new Tony Curtis picture downtown a real gut
buster. Tony plays this beggar, see, but he's really a prince only he
doesn't know it on account of his sneaky uncle who switched babies
when Tony got born. Then Tony finds this magic lamp, see, and he
gets into the palace where he meets this crazy girl, only she's
engaged to the fake prince, but then they have this mad sword fight,
and Tony licks about a million guys, and then he finds out he's the
prince and it's real crazy. Wanna go? I've only seen it three or
four times.
PHIPPS : As a matter of fact, I just remembered a previous en
gagement,. Sorry.
Miss McF: That's all right. Thanks for the Philip Morris. 'Bye.
(Exit Miss McF etridge. For a moment Phipps sits in stunned
silence, mopping his brow. Then a smile appears on his face.
He is a happy man again—out of love. Contentedly he lights
up a Philip Morris.)

THURSDAY, - JANUARY 13,-1955
By request, Mrs. Masters read
her husband's "Silence," the poem
used' at his, funeral service.
• Mrs. Masters said her husband
was a rustic-type personality,
and even, though he loved city
life, it was the 'farmer that he
admired the most.
He came to New York City in
1923, found it fascinating, and
made. it his home. The Masters
met socially at a dinner party
when she was an undergraduate
at the University of Chicago.
Of his poetry, Masters valued
his "Domesday Book" above all.
He was fond of Edwin Arlington
Robinson as a person and especial
ly liked the writings of Shakes
peare, Goethe, Shelley, and Keats,
she said.
(Author of "Barefoot Bog With Cheek," etc.)
