play, first Players' production of
the season, will begin Friday.
How do you build a tree that is
strong enough for people to sit
in. that can be dismantled every
week, and that will still look real
!Mac?
Russell Whaley, assistant pro
fessor of theater arts, and the
construction crew had to find
the answers.
They began by fitting pieces of,
two-inch black iron pipe together(
with v. ood filler blocks to form]
the ti uck and main limbs. The;
pipes were then covered with.
chicken wire and paper mache.
For any "normal" tree this]
would have been enough. But be-, 1
cause it plays such an important
role in the play, the crew covered i
the surface with Celastic "The,
Fantastic" plastic.
Real branches were selected
for the tree. They were chosen
for particular shapes and are
from elm, maple and oak trees
on campus and in town.
Leaves for the apple tree will
be made of specially treated pa
per similar to that used by flor
ists. Artificial and real apples will
add the finishing touches
Branches and apples that fall
off during the performances or
dismantling will be continually
replaced by the crew.
"On Borrowed Time" is the
story of a small boy, Pud, who
idolizes his profane but loveable
grandfather. Pud's aunt and
grandmother become increas
ingly concerned about his hab
it of copying grandfather's hab
its.
Many of the scenes are centered
around the apple tree which will .
bland at the rear of the stage. The
tree's big moment, however,
comes when the boy and his
, ;randfather chase thz devil into!

Ag Council Proposes
Constitution Change
The Agriculture Student Council proposed to revise two
sections in its constitution at a meeting last night.
The revision was proposed by Council President Charles
Ault. The same change, made in both sections, will make it
the duty of the president of the council to attend all ICCB
meetings if the proposal is passed.i
As the clauses now read the
president of the council would at
tend All-University Cabinet meet
ings.
The council also discussed the
forth coming Ag Hill Party and
the possible changes and addi
tions for TV courses.
Applications for the 1959 Miss'
Agriculture contest are now avail-,
able. Women wishing to enter the
contest may submit their names
or they may have their names
submitted by a group. Those nom
inated for competition in the con-
Jest must at least be second se
mester students and not more
than sixth semester with an All
'University average of 2.5.
Five finalists will be select
ed, from which the winner will
be chosen. They will be judged
on scholar ship, personality
leadership, and participation in
activities by advisors and stu
dents.
A plan also was discussed for,
recording classes and running
them over the radio. This would
give the student a chance to listen
to courses he is interested in or
that he is or has taken. Class
room jamming would be eased.
HELD OVER!
