ANNOUNCE ENTIRE CAST OF LEADING CHARACTERS FOR 1928 EXTRAVAGANZA
Charlyn Tedrick and Berwyn Riske Are Leads in Musical Comedy To Be Presented In Bovard Auditorium On March 23 and 24.
BY KARMIWYCKOFF
Charlyn Tedrick, as Sue Morgan, and Berwyn Riske, as Jack Raymond, will lead a supporting cast of fourteen in the 1928 Extravaganza when that musical comedy is presented on the evenings of March 23 and 24 in Bovard Auditorium. Ray MacDonald, N.P.C., university play director, is director-general.
Minor leads are Gwendolyn Rickard,* as Sabra Webster, and Bob Cooke, as Walter, a perennial student, in love with Sa.bra.
Bill, the chum of Jack Raymond,
■will be taken by Art Brearly, and Jacqueline, the sister of Jack, by Dorothy Carlson.
William C. Kaufman, as Dr. WTilson, the dean of men in the university, undoubtedly will give a memorable performance, since he has so many campus celebrities from whom to learn characteristic actions. Billie Walker, as Dr. Lockwood, the very human dean of women in this same institution, will present an interpretation which will probably equal her part of the physical education instructor in the “Rump us” of last year. The presence of humanitarianism in this dean of women will add considerably to the possibilities of the part.
Thomas Graham will have a difficult part, apparently, when he plays the character of the president of the university. Whether it will be straight cumedy or caricature is undecided, but regardless of the type, it give promise of being good.
Gloria Gottschalk will portray an Irish stewardess, which gives sufficient opportunity for comedy of this racial type. Captain Lowell of the liner will be taken by Jean Haskell.
Avalon Daggett, known for her various impersonations in other dramatic productions, will add a pathetic comedy note in the part of Dolly, the lisp ing co-ed. Miss Daggett is quite adept at lisping, though the practice gained has not been necessarily limited to dramatic parts.
Josephine Campbell has been rehearsing th© cast for the last ten days in intensive work in both lines and business for the various parts. Compared with the progress made in the same length cf time by dramatic directors of past ertravanganzas Miss Catopbell has made great strides toward the ultimate goal of perfection in the leads and members of the supporting cast.

‘Leap Week’ Plans Are Inaugurated By “Daffy” Club
Novel Idea Is Brought To Campus By Journalism Group.
Following a poll in which the opinions of a number of campus students were gathered, proponents of “Leap Week” have decided to inaugurate the event, starting Monday, March 12, and ending Sunday, March 18.
During this period, all male students will refrain from making any co-ed dates, and the latter are expected to respond by promoting the various social bids, calls, parties and what-not, standing all expenses, furnishing the cars, and in all other manner act as hostesses for the week.
The Daffy club, composed of journalism students on the campus, has backed up the idea with the announcement of a “Male Popularity Contest.” A record will be kept of all eligibles, with points awarded for the number of dates, type of conveyance, etc., etc., and the winner will be awarded the Daffy club trophy at a celebration in a popular Hollywood cafe on the night of March 22.
The idea has been worked in other universities with more or less success. At Oregon State college, a “Leap Week” was staged recently, much to the delight of all concerned. At North Dakota, according to a transfer from that institution, the co-eds make it a regular thing to split the expenses with the men on all dates.
According to the rules of the popularity contest, as announced by the Daffy club, each contestant mus furnish affidavits signed by some body in the party, to the effect that his statement to the Club, which must be filed on the morning after (pontinued on Page Four)
