The four plays to be produced
by the members of the Wing and
Wig club are in rehearsal and are
to be presented by the middle of
the month.
The first play, "The Marriage
of Little Eva," by Kenyon Nicholson, is a realktic comedy of the
stage, portraying the typical characters of a stock company in an
ironical and humorous light. It
depicts the discovery of the secret
marriage of the actress Little
Eva and the actor Uncle Tom,
and the comical but psychological
means the director uses to get
them to continue their parts.
"The Last of the Loweries," by
Paul Green, a tragedy in the dialect of the Carolina mountain folk,
concerns an old feud between the
government and the "Loweries, the
rebellion of the last of the Loweries and the grief of the old, feeble mother and wife who has seen,
one by one, the death of her loved
ones.
"The Third Angle" is a comedy
of artist life and the eternal triangle.
"Hot Dope," the fourth play,
should prove particularly interesting to the audience, as it was written by a member of the club, Louise McCallman. It is a prophecy
and shows the University's development in the years to come. It
predicts the future of a few of
the talented students in the university of today. The cast is as
follows: Johnny McGuire, Walter
Svehla, Mary Holgate, Eugenia
Holmdale; first co-ed, Jane Bostwick; second co-ed, Janice Watts,
and Carmelita, Pat Burghart.

Extending the University policy

Professor Belaunde, instructor in

three speakers will lecture at each
meeting for about a half hour, on

followed by open forum discussions

The first, round table will treat
generally "the present situation
of Pan-American relations, new
factors, new ideas, contradictory
currents and the basis of future
understanding." The second lecture will consider the Monroe Doctrine, "its past and present interpretation, the traditional attitude of
the Latin-American republics."
Other subjects in the sequence in
which they will be considered by
these weekly discussions are: Mexican relations, including the historical background, the diplomatic success of the Dwight Morrow mission I.' «~ /.:'
