ROMANTIC THEME
Whizzer Himself
Plav is Amusing Comedy Dealing With Youth
By RUTH CANARY
Only a matter of a few hours now, in the presentation of “The Romantic Ape,” to be produced tonight by the School of Speech in the Touchstone Theatre. At 8:15 o'clock the curtain will rise on what promises to be in every wav one of the most thoroughly entertaining and delightful performances ever seen on this campus, if a well chosen, carefully trained cast and the high grade qualities of subtlety and charm in the comedy itself have anything to do with it.
Touth in all its various phases has always a deep heart-interest. tout Youth in the thralls of “the romantic age” is even more than that, and A. A. Milne proves it in his play “The Romantic Age.”
The many touching love scenes in the piece portraying young love at its height, will be a feature of the performance, and reports are that •Busty" Dupuy and Clare Kaufer who are playing the romantic roles can handle those particular situations in such a way as to thrill the most calloused and cold blooded theatre goers. Then there will be
laughs, too, manv of them, and per- I	-
haps a few big. really “tense mo- CAPTAIN PRAISES COACH ments.”
In fact, so favorable have been reports and comments from those who know the play, and have seen the cast at work, that many last minute derisions of “let’s not go to the movies tonight; let’s go ana see ‘The Romantic Age',” are being heard about the campus, especially in the regions of the parking spaces along University Avenue.
Tickets are being sold today at the box office, and owing to the fact that the seating capacity of the Old Chapel is very limited and all seats are unreserved, the advice is to get your tickets early, and be on time!**
CLASS OFFICERS NOMINATED AT GATHERINGS YESTERDAY
i Little Interest Shown in Meetings Held for Purpose of Selecting Officers to Lead Classes During Next Semester
By AUBREY IRWIN
In special class meetings held yesterday, after a short pep rally, officers for the coming semester were nominated. Conforming closely to previously conceived plans of procedure, little confusion was experienced, thereby making the sessions short. The Freshmen must, however, be excepted, with emphasis upon the sudden spurt of business activity immed-ately following the nominations, in which much interest was shown regarding the advisability of their dance this evenng.

Big town politics and Uncle Joe Cannon authority prevailed in a wild and confusing meeting of the Freshmen class, yesterday after the nominating of officers had been completed. Committees clashed, co-eds boiled and threw daggers at the men, while the men in turn appreciated the fact that 1924 is Leap year. But, all in all, Bill Teetzel, their president, ruled supreme and maintained order.

Study your comunity with the view of unselfish service rather than personal greed. Be on the square.
