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

Applications for the University
Panhellenic’s two scholarships, for

urday.

ble to apply. Applicants will be
judged on scholarship and finan
cial need.
