Groundhog prepares Troy for final stab
by the Groundhog
This has been the most unusual pre-election at SC in recent years.
This Groundhog column is being written under highly unusual circumstances. After tearing up several other attempts, your political prognosticator is feverishly composing this historic effort in cramped quarters at a late hour.
If it were in normal pre-war times, your political informer would be able to give you the names of those who will vie for the top ASSC offices. The Key-holer was able to do this last year when the slate of candidates was more obvious at an earlier date. However, because of grade requirements, constitutional requirements for eligibility, and the navy taking men before they have reached their senior year, the election is in a muddled condition.
As was mentioned earlier, the three most probable candidates for the top ASSC post were ineligible for one reason or another. With these men removed from the list, there remains a scrambled field. No one man stands out as an obvious contender. As has been the case in years gone by, all the various groups are waiting until the last possible minute to spring their candidates.
What will probably develop is this. There will either be several second-raters up for the top job or men capable but unknown and unpolitical.
Next Monday, the first day for filing petitions, the Groundhog after shrewdly checking all possibilities will predict who will run for ASSC president, vice-president, and secretary. In addition,
I will give you a lineup of the various groups involved.
I have a good idea who the candidates will be right now, but last-minute jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon has clouded the issue.
Even though candidates may hold off filing their petitions until the last minute on Wednesday, I will stick my neck out Monday as promised, come rain or the end of the war.
Have a good time over the weekend and prepare for Monday’s bombshell.
Women requested for clerical work
Forty girls are wanted immediately to fill temporary clerical positions at the Motor Vehicle department during evening hours. No experience is necessary and the pay is 70 cents an hour. Applicants should apply today at the employment office in the Student Union.
■Opus Grumpy
Y-sponsored play nears first night
Under the sponsorship of the drama department backed by the YWCA, the English comedy-melodrama “Grumpy,” starring Ed Kelley in the title role, has reached the final stage of production under the direction of William C. DeMille, announced Hal Bargelt, play production manager.
All women’s residence houses are being asked to go 100 per cent, said Beverly Griffiths, ticket chairman for the Y. According to present plans, the Y will sell approximately 800 tickets good for admission on any night. Part of the proceeds from the ticket sale will go to the Y benefit fund.
The play is scheduled to begin its run Thursday night, Jan. 27, in Bovard auditorium, and will continue for five nights. Ushers for the performances will be members of Athena litreary honorary and Zeta Phi Eta speech sorority. This is the second of a series of plays planned by DeMille for production this year.
“Grumpy” is the story of the “irrascible old reprobate” who finds himself immersed in unraveling a mystery. Oc-cording to Bargelt, the play has a “Man Who Came to Dinner” theme. Nance Sheldon plays the ingenue, and Lynn Walker plays the part of the maid, Susan. Bill Chapman has been cast as Valentine Wolfe, one of the villains of the play.
Sets are again under the supervision of Miss Charlotte Chappie, drama department assistant in charge of set design and construction. The show requires two sets as the action first takes place in Grumpy’s home south of London and then in London itself.
Eight sororities hold open house tonight
Eight sororities west of University avenue are extending invitations to the entire student body, especially servicemen, for open house tonight from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The houses are Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Delta Delta,- Chi Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Delta, Delta Zeta, Alpha Chi
Omega, and Phi Mu.
Annual seeks cooperation
Because the women’s dormitories, with the exception of Toyon, Casa de Roses, Lagunita, and Manzanita, failed to send representatives to the meeting scheduled for dormitory presidents on Thursday at 12:45 p.m., they will not be included in the 1944 El Rodeo, according to the editors.
Production is being held up by lack of cooperation of these units, said LaMar Stewart, editor. The El Rodeo cannot afford such delay and is therefore forced, unless influenced otherwise by immediate action, to delete their space from the book.
“Originally it had been planned to give the dormitories two pages arranged in the same foriji as sororities and included in the same section,” said Etewart.
Refreshments, punch and cookies and dancing will be offered guests according to Jean Working, sponsor of the dig and Panhellenic president. Sorority and non-org women will act as hostesses at specially-assigned houses.
Students may rotate to all the houses or as many as they wish, according to the sponsors.
“It will be strictly informal,”
said Miss Working. Sweaters and
skirts for women have been suggested by Panhellenic.
Said Leta Galentine, acting ASSC president, “Let’s have the orgs and non-orgs get acquainted. This is a wonderful opportunity.”

V-72s trailed by wee ones
Like a little red caboose be* hind a long dark train, a litUe wagon carrying a small boy and pulled by an almost-as-small girl was seen following a company of marching V-12s recently.
With solemn faces the children tripped through each maneuver executed by the men. Not understanding the jargon of the commander, they were a little slow cn the beat and almost trampled when the sailors turned about-face.
Undaunted, the little girl jerked her wheeled burden aside inches ahead of the oncoming feet, about-faced, and trudged along to bring up the rear of the column.
