The Girl I Left Behind Aie/ In Last Rehearsal Week By NORMAN ANDERSON "l he Girl I Lett Behind Me." Belasco and Fyle’s melodrama of the 1890 s, enters its last week of rehearsals with only a few loose ends still to be tied. The historical vintage of the production has brought on a scarcity of authentic properties, especially in the field of cos tumes for ladies, which the theater is now anxiously attempting to find. The costume crew wants ladies’ dresses of the 1890 period. particularly every day dresses, ball dresses, and the like. Cavalry and dress uniforms of that same period are needed for men. Need Properties The Theater can also use hand properties which might be found around a fort of the Old West—side arms, rifles, decorative effects for a home, an army saddle, relay type telegraph unit, standing candel abra, and so forth. Anyone who can help is requested to call Ext. 401. “The Girl’’ will be one of the most spectacular productions the new Theater has yet attempted, in a season which has already seen two ^ exceptional offerings. The stage crew is finishing work on the two principal sets, one of which will be changed slightly to make a third set. In building now are a fort and a house, both made out of authentic lumber and a va riety of wood—alder, pine and oak. Two Sets in One The largest set of the production will be a combination of two houses sitting inside a fort. The fort con sists of a large gate in the center, with a blockhouse on either side. Running around' to the rear of the stage will be the rest of the fort. The stage crew is also building two wagons, one of which will be built already “charred,” One scene in “The Girl”, the battle scene, re quires the presence of a “burning wagon.” This scene will carry many of the old Belasco traditions with actual flaming arrow's, and soldiers falling off the walls. Faculty Committee Motion Urges Change in Certificate Requirements It’s a short haul from sophomore standing to senior standing during one spring term—even on a tech nicality. •» But if the motions for class def initions are adopted as given by Professor C. F. Weigle, journalism dean and chairman of the special Committee for the Study of Aca demic Regulations, that’s what will happen. The professor made the motions at the May faculty meeting. He would abolish the phrase “requirements for the Junior Cer tificate” and substitute “lower division requirements for a bach elor’s degree.” Freshman stand ing would be from 0-35 term hours; sophomore standing, 36 92 term hours; junior standing, 93-137 term hours; seniors, 138 or more term hours. Clarifies Class Standing “It's a matter of setting up definitions in the registrar's of fice,” said Prof. Weigle. “In ef • feet it will clarify class standing of certain students. In the past, regardless of the number of term hours he had, the student has been classified as a sophomore in the registrar’s office until he complet ed his lower division requirements. For that reason the sophomore class has always been large and the junior class small.” The motions will have no effect on present upper-division students other than to move their G.P.A. from sophomore standing to their class as determined by number of term hours. Motion Would End “The phrase, junior certificate, is mere terminology,” said Prof. Weigle, “and has had no other val ue for some time.” His motion would also delete from the regulations any dis tinction between majors in the col lege of liberal arts and majors in the professional fields insofar as regards group requirements. The group requirement would read as follows: at least 9 approved term hours in each of the three groups and at least 9 additional approved term hours in courses numbered 200-210 in any one of the three groups. The motions will be presented to the faculty at its next regular ji meeting, May 31. APO to Award Annual Trophy A trophy will be awarded this year by Alpha Phi Omega, nation al service fraternity, to the under classman who, in the opinion of the selection committee, has done the most constructive service for the University and community. The organization plans to make this an annual spring term award. Nominations for the trophy will be made by each men’s living or ganization—halls, dormitories, co ops, and fraternities. The candi date then will fill out a petition listing his qualifications, and sub mit it to Dick Thompson, Pi Kappa Alpha, by Wednesday. Any underclassman (93 term hours or less) with a 2.ob GPA, cumulative and last term is eligi ble. Members and pledges of Al pha Phi Omega are excepted. The selection board, consisting of three members of APO, Vergil Fogdall, director of men’s affairs, and P. L. Kleinsorge, professor of economics, will examine the peti tions and choose the winner. Left-handed Skull and Dagger To Clash With Kwama Saturday Skull and Dagger took it upon themselves Wednesday to prove that men—even left-handed men— are superior to women, at least in softball. They accepted Kwama’s recent challenge to battle on the Swim mer's Delight diamond at Satur day's Sophomore Picnic. Consenting to play lefthanded as stipulated in Kwama's letter to the Emerald editor, the men of the sophomore honorary laid down some rules of their own. A rule forbidding tobacco chew ing caused the most furor in the -training camp of the sophomore women's honorary. “Though entirely uncalled for, the ladies will stop all tobacco chewing immediately,” Kwama President Lorna Larson said. “As staining from this vice will build up our endurance anyway.” A special communique to the Emerald from the girls’ training camp in Hendrick’s park stated the girls are working under an inten sified training program, doing three push-ups every 42 minutes plus bat-lifting exercises. Nearly one-half of the team members have reached the point where they are using mitts instead of buckets to catch the balls." From the Skull and Dagger camp way down on the Millrac.e it was reported that Richard "Rich Legs" McLaughlin has been put on a diet of skimmed milk and dried kelp. A slight psychological ad justment had to be made by Mc Laughlin, who was under the im pression that he was to play right tackle. Lineups for the picnic clash, open to all University students, will be released as soon as the girls find out how many people play on a softball nine and as soon as the boys stop playing tiddly winks to build up muscles for the battle. Deadline Saturday For Scholarships Applications for the University Panhellenic’s two scholarships, for $100 and $75, are due by noon Sat urday. They may be secured from the Office of Women’s Affairs, 201 Emerald. Any University woman is eligi ble to apply. Applicants will be judged on scholarship and finan cial need.
