SPEEDY DELIVERY sp.m. to 12:30 a.m. CALL: AD 8-8381 clear in the Thespians' first full length musical comer•. The "edu cators" are a gang of swindle's. The play concerns a group of con-men who organize "Vardi var College" to endorse a weal thy businessman's new tnedi cine. Theft reward ror this endorse ment is the "big one"—one mil lion dollars. Led by an extrewily intelligent Runyon-type character named Leo, the staff of Vardivar Col lege proceeds to conduct numer ous "conferences for continuing corruption." involving everything from playing Cupid with the busi nessinan's daughter to stealing radio-active materials from a se cret government laboratory. Their flight into higher educa tion meets rough weather. how ever. when Leo begins to take his position as "Dean of Swindling" seriously. Perhaps the term "crook" is too harsh a word for characters who take such trouble to become millionaires. Aberg refers to them as "grifters, who differ from gangsters in that they live by their wits instead of just their brains and have a high sense of loyalty to their fellow cons." Pinciple roles in the musical are played by Mary Dugan, Robert Valanty, Robert Mc- Lean, Nancy Alinkoff, Malcolm Cohen, Walter Glickman, Ron ald Raymound, Marjorie Pincus, Steven Jacobs and Ronald Smolin. According to Gary Patterson. president of Thespians, this pro duct ion will be their first "full book" or complete musical com edy. In the past, Thespians have presented musicals only in revue form.

The recommendation was sub mitted by the Four-Term Calen dar and Expansion Workshop, chaired by Howard Mears, Gener al Encampment chairman. All Encampment workshop reports and recommendations will be dis cussed in WC meetings during the semester. The recommendation to study the proposal again came from dis cussion of the community living idea which was instituted this year and which may have such far-reaching effects on student government and student living that a revamping of the frater nity system may eventually be necessary, The recommendation called for Debate Team To Hold Meet This Friday The first men's debate meet will be held on campus with West Virginia University at 3 p.m. Fri day in 214 Boucke.
