Shop Talk at the WaxWorks By BILL NO RENE Art Holman and his orchestra have been signed by Jack Saltz man to play for the Junior Prom Friday. Jack explained that the dance is a theme dance, and rather than sign a name band, the Junior Weekened heads decided to keep the dance a campus affair and sign a local band. According to Jack, Will Os borne (listen to the glisten of the slide trombone), Ted Lewis, Ben ny Pollack, who played here a couple years ago, and the An drews Sisters and Johnny Rich ards’ orchestra were considered for the dance. Outsiders Not Wanted A series of points as long as your arm are advanced by Saltz man as reasons why Holman is the only orchestra for the dance. They simmer down to: The Jun ior Prom is a campus dance and they want to keep it that way— outsiders are not wanted; 2) the Junior Prom is a theme dance, not a show; 3) Art Holman has been on the campus a long time and he knows what is wanted for the dance; 4) Holman is making special arrangements of many numbers especially for the dance.

Mrs. Sally Allen As Centenarian Plus By MARY WOLF A vindictive 101-year-old wo man portrayed by Mrs. Sally Al len, wife of Dean Eric W. Allen of the journalism school', kept a Very Little Theater audience in the best of spirits during the per formance of “Whiteoaks of Jal na” last night at the county fair grounds. As the play, which was adopted by Mazo de la Roche from char acters and incidents depicted in the series of novels based on the Whiteoak family of Jalna estate, was built around the character played by Mrs. Allen, she had plenty of opportunity and took it to walk away with the play. Ruling a selfish clan who cater to her wishes in expectation that she might leave her money to any one of them, Mrs. Allen seems to enjoy herself immense ly throughout the play. All the characters are well cast. Renny, Fred Cuthbert, keeps everything under control as the only level-headed member of the clan. Most side-splitting of any of the scenes was the one in which Mrs. Allen has someone fetch her false teeth and proceeds to insert them -with gusto. Under the direction of Daisy Hamlin, the play will have two more showings tonight and to morrow evening at 8 o’clock in the Very Little theater. Class Proposes (Continued from pope one) president, Pat Lawson; secretary, Dorothy Jean Johnson, and trea surer, Mack Hand. Others may be nominated by petitions signed by 25 class mem bers turned in to C’ass President Lou Torgeson before 5 n.m. today, however. Torgeson expressed a desire to have more candidates in the field for election of senior class officers Thursday. Classmen took no action on either the “10-cent class card” issue or on the (Constitutional amendment to distinguish iuniors from sophomores, because a quo rum was not present at last night’s meeting. Both these questions will be determined at all-campus e'ec tions Thursday, Torgeson said. Small Vote Torgeson ascribed the small at tendance to the fact that many students did not receive Emeralds yesterday morning. The political hats of nine fresh men are in the ring for seat3 on the “council” of the “majority” class of 1944. Petitions nominating Fred Smith and Bruce Tay’or were presented at a “majority” class meeting last night. The following were nominated from the floor for council seats: Fern Swanstrom. Beverly Padgham, Beauford Clemens, Chuck Woodfield, Tom Burbee, Ted Goodwin, and Stan Weber. “Eligibility Test” Nominees must pass an “e’i gibility test” over campus gov ernment and parliamentary law, before they will be eligible for election Thursday.

Fur ther details on the examination will be printed in the Emerald soon, according to Chuck Wood ruff, president of the “majority” class.

Dancing will begin at 8:30, and a charge of 10 cents will be made to non-members of Orides. Campus clothes will be worn. Side Show (Continued from page four) “I guess Hitler doesn’t give medals to Pacifists.” She laughed again in a con tagious way and said she didn’t suppose he would give her one either. Still “Free Speech” Then Mrs .Roosevelt said she had read an editorial that morn ing which charged that Lind bergh was being denied freedom of speech. She said so far as she knew no one was trying to deny him free speech, but that at the same time when he publicly de clares that this nation cannot possibly win against Hitler then it is permissible for anyone who wishes to do so to point out the similarity between Lindbrgh’s position and that of other fac tions at other crises in American history. The reference to “ther factions” was apparently a reference to her husband’s charge that the flier was another Vallandigham, leader of the “copperheads” in the civil war; but before the point could be clarified the secretary remarked that it was growing late and that Mrs. Roosevelt had to eat dinner before leaving for her lecture. Mrs. Roosevelt rose and she seemed very tall. She smiled an other one of those warm smiles, ushered the three of us to the door, and shook hands in fare well. This action was character istic of her, just another evidence of her spontaneous gift for liking people which has endeared her to so many. One doesn’t have to agree with her in order to regard her with profound admiration. Kirkpatrick Nails High Rifle Honors William Kirkpatrick, junior from Baker, took individual high scoring honors in the ninth corps area William Randolph Hearst rifle matches, it was learned Thursday.
