STUDENTS WRITE
ACT FOR VOD-VIL
Novel Musical Comedy to
Make Appearance
TRYOUT DATES GIVEN
All Urged to Compete for
Places on Cast
A musical comedy which promises
to be of unusual excellence is now
being prepared for the Junior Vod
Vil by a group of students whose
names are being withheld until a
later date. It is reported that the
production will be a live comedy
graced with several new and orig
inal selections, which will undoub
tedly be accepted with enthusiasm
by the University students.
Character Roles Available
Mrs. Lyle Palmer (Imogene
Litcher), who composed the music
and wrote the lines for the musi
cal comedies for the past two years,
is not on the campus this year.
Others who feel that the musical
comedy is one of the essential fea
tures of the Vod-Vil, are working
diligently to produce a novel and
appropriate number this year.
A day will be set aside during
the week of the regular Junior Vod
Vil tryouts, in which the students
who feel that they are capable of
handling stage work, will be re
viewed by the tryout judges and
will be selected for the various roles
in the chorus and character work.
Tryout Dates Scheduled
It is urged that all students try
out for this musical comedy, as it
will offer excellent opportunity to
gain experience in this line and to
make their talent available for the
selection of the cast. Any of those
who feel that they have the talent
but perhaps not the “looks,” should
not be timorous about attending the
“show-off” as there are a number
of unusually good character bits
which will require good acting, re
gardless of pulchritude.
The week of February 16 has
been set aside by the committee in
charge as the time for the Junior
Vod-Vil tryouts. The day for the
musical comedy tryouts will be an
nounced later.
McKINDREE CO-EDS GIVE
IDEAS ON COLLEGE MEN
McKindree College.—Have you
shiny hair? Do you wear bell-bot
tom trousers? Can you cover the
ground with man-like strides with
out seeming to hurry? Have you
a mustache? If you possess these
qualifications you are an ideal man
in the eyes of the co-eds of this
college. The traits most condemned
were cursing and not knowing how
to act in public. All these requi
sites of the collegiate Beau Brum
mel were revealed in a question
naire circulated on the campus here
last week.
BEULAH SMITH RECOVERING
FROM CHOCOLATE BURNS
Beulah Smith, sophomore in the
school of journalism, was severely
burned Tuesday night at the V. W.
C. A. bungalow. A contained of
hot chocolate was sitting on a stove,
with the lid tightly clamped on the
container. As Miss Smith was pas
sing, the steam, because of the
high pressure it had -developed,
pushed the lid off. The scalding
hot chocolate covered her face,
neck, and left hand. Miss Smith
is now recovering in the infirmary.
KATHERINE SLADE TAKES
POSITION AS SECRETARY
Miss G. R. Page, who has been
secretary at the appointment bur
eau of education, since last fall,
recently resigned, and will leave in
about a month for California where
she will visit for a time. Miss
Katherine Slade, who has been em
ployed in the administration office
during the past two and one half
years, and who has also been sec
retary to L. H. Johnson, comptrol
ler of the University, will be the
new bureau secretary.
STUDENTS WRITE MILLIONS
OF WORDS DURING QUIZZES
University of Oklahoma.—Judg
ing from the number of quiz books'
sold by the book exchange, and al
lowing only 60 words to the page, it
is estimated that 720.000,000 words
are written in quizzes each semes
ter. That many words would fill
7,200 average size novels. One man
writing in long-hand ten hours a
day, would be more than 200 years
old before rfie couliT accomplish so
much.

EMERALD ADVERTISERS
Volume Printed in 1863
Gives Timely Talks
Writer Expresses Ideas On
Education
Tucked away behind a row of
formidable Latin dictionaries in
the library vault is an insignificant
looking little old volume, with the
front cover torn off, revealing the
rather intriguing title, “Of Educa
tion, Especially of Young Gentle
men.” The author’s name is not
visible on the title, but at the bot
tom of the page is the inscription:
“Printed at the Theatre for Amos
Curteyne, Ann. 1683.”
A few quotations from this vol
ume illustrate the writer’s attitude
toward topics of that day that are
still discussed. For example:
“Dancing is a moderate exercise,
so much whereof is to be learned
as may give a good and graceful
motion of the body, but there is
nothing which doth more dissipate
the powers of the spirit, nor more
enervate the forces of the Soul,
than the ravishing harmony, the
continual agitation of the body and
the charms of the ladies’ conver
sation.”
Mencken himself might have said
this: “Delighting in gallantry com
monly portends lowness and weak
ness in spirit, as have those women
who have nothing but their outsides
to entitle them to humanity.”
The one-sided athlete is analyzed:
“Some there are who are lazy and
unindustrious to study, yet very
active and sprightly in bodily exer
cises; these many times are fitter
for other employments than learn
ing.” And again: “Wisdom is
made to rule, and yet magistrates
generally are readier to make use of
their power than their wisdom, of
their will than reason.”
This book, which contains much
of what is said and done today, was
written 250 years ago.
