Galaxy of Color Combinations Dresses New Lounge On Third Floor.
BY STAN GOODMAN
A salon grouping of lounges, chairs, tables, and bridge lamps in a galaxy of color combinations now dresses the new student lounge on the third floor of the Student Union.
Opened to the students officially on Tuesday, the lounge has become popular in its short existence. Following the plan of several eastern and midwest universities, the studeot council have provided a place in which students can meet, in the refined atmosphere of a lounge.
Seventy chairs and eight over-size davenports, all of the over-stuffed come and try me type, make up the chief fixtures of the room. Large cushioned rugs cover the floors. The chairs and lounges are grouped about in a social way, some groups circling one of the fourteen various sized and shaped tables. Eighteen bridge lamps intersperse this arrangement. An effort has been made to eliminate formality and stiffness to the appearance of the room, Gwynn Wilson, graduate manager, says.
ROOM COMIWENDABLE When compared with student union lounges of other schools, the S. C. room is commendable. Particularly for its well balanced arrangement, an ante-room exclusively for men, on** for women, and the main room for both. The choise of furniture is good from the standpoint of comfort, apparent stability, color, and placement. However, a select number of books (to be read in, and not taken from the room), would add greatly to the possibilities the room affords.
At the University of Michigan, as also at Harvard and Chicago, the new union buildings have at the disposal of students, a small number of highly readable novels, sufficient to interest students in making the lounges profitable places to spend spart time.
A newspaper rack, and a number of select current periodicals, would greatly enhance the attractiveness of the room.
As the new lounge stands, however, j it is a great addition to student facil-! ities here. It is a step forward in j S. C. achievement. With the addition of some few refinements, S. C. will have a student union lounge of the highest order.
REID L. M CLUNG WILL GIVE TALK
R. L. McClung, dean of the College of Commerce and business administration at S.

LUNCHEON TABLE CUSTOM REVIVED
Reviving a custom dropped for the past few years because of a lack of facilities, the French department announces the opening of a luncheon table on Monday, April 30, in the Student Union. It will be in charge of Dr. Belle and Dr. Bissel, and will meet on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Several years ago, when there was a cafeteria located in Old College, tbe French department conducted a table similar to the one that will come into being Monday. When the cafeteria went out of existence, the luncheon table, for lack of a place to meet was discontinued.
Nov, however, it has been reinstated as a purely social meeting place for those interested in speaking French, according to Dr. Bissel. The only re«juirement is that French, and nothing but French, be spoken. Il is in no sense a class duty, but rather en opportunity for those sincerely interested in learning to speak the French language more fluently The table will be marked with a sign, “table Francaise Reservaire,” and will be conducted from 12:15 to 1:15 on the days designated.
SHAKESPEAREAN TICKETS ARE ON SALE IN ARCADE
R. D. MacLean To Portray Three Famous Characters in Program Monday.
Tickets for the Shakespearean Festival may be purchased either at the cashier’s window in the Students Store or at the table in the arcade of the Administration building, according to Elwood Harmon, who has charge of the sale. The price is nominal and is only a portion of that which would be charged if the same program were being given for a commercial enterprise.
R. D. MacLean is counted among the select of Shakespearean tragedians, and is popularly classed as one of the most noted artists in the acting profession. He has appeared with Madame Mojeska, and other former favorites.
The festival is to be held Monday morning at 10 o’clock in celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday and is under the direction of Mrs. Pearl Aiken Smith of the School of Speech. ELABORATE COSTUMES Elaborate costumes for the three scenes from the famous plays are Bernice! beinK selected under the direction of Claire Aderer. They wil be strictly period in design, typical of the Elizabethan stage and style. This will mean that approximately a dozen and a half different costumes will be used for the three scenes from the English bard’s plays.
Costumes for the revelers of the festival will be typical of the itinerant players and minstrels who thronged the plays in Shakespeare’s time when they were presented in the enclosed yards of inns. Even the matter of correct shoes will be given attention in order that the costumes will be authentic.
This authenticity is the contribution of Virginia Roediger and Eleanor Clarke.
GOOD INTERPRETATION “Those who have seen rehearsals of the festival are enthusiastic over the beauty and value of the production and the unusual opportunity of seeing MacLean in these famous roles,” stated Mrs. Smith yesterday. “Much credit is due the students, for (Continued on Page Four)
PHARMACY REJECTS
Pharmacy turned it down 54 votes to 17, when it was discovered that the degree of Ph.C. was left cut of Class 2 in the definition of colleges. Morgan Cox, chairman of the constitution committee, stated that this degree was accidentally left out of the copy of the constitution that was sent to the printer, and for this reason it did not appear in the “Trojan”. In the actual document itself, however, the degree appears along with the rest. Despite its negative vote, Pharmacy will be included in the university student body, as the constitution was approved in a majority of the voting colleges.
NO DENT VOTE
Dean Ford of the College of Dentistry refused to allow the students in his college to vote on the constitution, as he did not approve of several important points in the document. Fred Pierson, chairman of the elections committee, was unable to establish (Continued on Page Four)
