Touchstone Players To Display Talents In New Productions
“El Christo,” written by Margaret Larkin, will be one of the three plays presented tonight by the Touchstone players.
This play, which won the Belasco award in 1929, is set in Mexico and centers around the re-enactment of the crucifixion that is sponsored
every Easter by the town council.
The boy, played by Bob Sheldon, accepts his role with reverence. His faith is shattered, however, when he learns that his appointment as El Christo was brought about by his father, who expects the boy to help further his own political ambitions.
CAST OF ‘EL CHRISTO’
The part of the father is played by Fred Radwick. Shirjeymae Spaulding, a veteran in SC campus productions, is the mother; Arthur Buchwald pla^s Manuel, the boy's uncle; Pauline Blankenship, Rosalia; and Rory Guy is Richardo. The direction is handled by Geraldine Carlson and the sets were designed by Mildred Carmen and Lowell Pierro.

Curtain time is 8.30 and the admission price is 45 cents. All members of the Touchstone players will be admitted free and new memberships may be purchased at the door.
Second Story Man Coolly Collects Cash Along 'Row'; Cops 1 A's Sole Civie Pants
Footpads were afoot and padding about night before last along Troy’s infamous row (no relation to Skid) according to the cries of various and sundry outraged brothers who awakened yesterday sans wallets and hockable fraternity pins.
Exhibiting a coolness usually found only in Bovard drama critics, the nocturnal prowler was reported to have burgled the upstairs sleeping quarters of one Greek group, then sat at the dining room table to separate paternally-supplied cash from identification flotsam and jetsam.
Not content with the nominal cash booty gleaned from the affronted hip pockets of the slumbering innocents, and vexed at a passed-up opportunity in bottle deposits, the midnight marauder ranged farther afield to finally tread stealthily the bedroom boards of theBrumfield residence.
Ginny “Annie Oakley” Brumfield, sleeping heavily beside her trusty 410-guage shotgun, failed to alert to the presence of the brigand, who promptly made off with her brother’s pants. Came morning, her brother—slated to
enter the army that day—and having given the rest of his “civies” away, was faced with the*-prospect of reporting to Uncle Sam in an olive-drab barrel.
Again proving himself to be as nervy as a 20th ceutury Robin Hood, the thief sat in the Brumfield family car which was parked at the rear of the home, separating the wallet from the pants and the cash from the wallet.
Earning the title, Robin Hood, the robber, finding Miss Brumfield’s purse contained a cash total of one thin dime, gallantly left same unravaged.
A tabulation of losses sustained during the night’s ransae "on of Skid . . . oooops! . . . Fraternity row disclosed eight wallets, two fraternity pins, and a long black cash box were missing from the Kappa Alpha and Chi Phi houses.
Rumor has it that TirebiTfer has been pressed into service as a special deputy to forestall further attempts of the second story invader, this being the only alternative to the brothers’ doubling up in their solo sacks for mutual protection.

Trovets Sponsor Second Concert
With a program designed to appeal to everyone, the first concert of the term of the Trovet-sponsored “Music in the Afternoon” series will be presented in Bowne hall at 3:15 p.m. on Apr. 23. according to Will Renda, director of the series.
The concert, second of the series,
affords music lovers of Troy an opportunity to hear four outstanding student soloists. They are Richard Gray, clarinetist; Milo Kensrue, tenor; John Mankin, pianist; and Stella Chaloupka, harpist.
“From the realm of the classics, the concert will offer the Mozart
Concerto for clarinet,” said Renda. "This is a rare musical treat requiring a great technical skill not often possessed by a college student.”
FAVORITES PLAYED
Always a favorite of music lovers, the songs of Schubert will be represented by “Serenade" and "Who
\s Sylvia,” according to Renda.
“Displaying every facet of piano technique, the piano numbers include the Schumann ‘Arabesque,’ two of Chopin’s loveliest waltzes, and his A flat Polonaise,” the director stated.
"Few solos for concert harp playing exist,” Renda disclosed. “Throughout orchestral music, however, the openings in the music where the orchestra rests and the harp is allowed to solo in all its beauty.
“Such a spot is to be found in the second act of Donizetti’s opera ‘Lucia di Lammermoor.’ This is one of the best harp solos ever written. and it will be played by harpist Stella Chaloupka for the second of Trovets ‘Music in the Afternoon’ series,” said Renda,
—Independent Students—
New Political Group Organized on Campus
Evidence that the forthcoming student elections may have far-reaching results became apparent yesterday when it was revealed that a new student political organization, the Independent Students association, has been organized on campus.
In releasing the platform of the new group, Chairman Seigfried Hesse announced that the main concern would be to effect a reform in the present “inept” student government.
Hesse said that the preamble of the platform reads. “We, the members of the ISA, feel that the present student body government is practically functionl^ss in regard to providing democratic student representation, sponsoring social activities for the majority, or keeping the student body informed of the important problems that involve our present society. Inasmuch as these questions are essential for an interested and enlightened student body, it is felt that basic action should be initiated by the students themselves to change our present apathetic and ineffectual government.
THREE POINTS
Three major points were outlined
by Hesse as having been approved by the executive council in support of the preamble. These include government action, social action, and student action.
“Under the first point,” Hesse announced, “our organization will seek to change the present senate to a house of representatives that will be more than a social unit. All
seats are to be elected at student elections and it shall be their duty to bring up problems that concern the student body.
COMMISSION SET-UP “A student opinion polling bureau, an inter-racial and religious commission, and a functioning stu-dent-faculty commission shall be established with student government control over the right to petition and initiation of social action.” Other planks in the program, according to Hess, will be wider social and recreational facilities, an investigation into the possibilities of procuring housing, tolerance toward minority groups with a de-emphasis on reserictive covenants, and an all-out attempt to stop the drive toward World War III.
OFFICERS ANNOUNCED Officers in the new organization were announced as Cosmopolitan club president Muriel Erickson, ways and means committee chairman; Jesse Unruh and Gene Rubin, co-chairmen of the publicity committee; Tony Adrean, policy committee chairman; and Phyllis Weiss-berg, candidate committee chairman. Among members of the group were listed Don Gibson, prsident of Trovets, and Kay Mancusi and Frances Griffin, co-chaimen of Town meeting.
An open meeting was announced for 2 p.m. Friday in 305 Administration and Hesse said that all students who are interested in the new movement or in becoming candidates in the spring elections will be welcome.

Panel to Aid Students Offers Four Leaders From Petroleum Field
Featuring four leading figures in the field, an oil industry panel will be held next Tuesday afternoon at 3:15 in Harris hall.
The forum, designed to acquaint students with vocational opportunities in the oil industry is being sponsored by a committee composed jointly of members of the SC faculty and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The many commercial aspects of the field, production, marketing, transportation, and industrial relations, will be stressed, as well as scientific development.
Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid will introduce the speakers, including Mr. Hugh Colvin, economist of the Union Oil company; Mr. R. C. McCurdy, manager of the San Joaquin department of the Shell Oil company; Mr. David Day, vice-president in charge of manufacturing and pipeline transportation for the Richfield Oil corporation; and Mr. ;i.

into the center of the Manchurian capital of Changchun today and
reportedly forced the 7000-man Nationalist garrison to retreat to the Manchurian coal building for i.
a last-ditch death-or-surrender battle.
Military observers expected that the Communists would complete the conquest of Changchun within a
short time despite the pledge of Maj. Gen. Chai-Chen, commander of the Nationalists, that his garrison would “f'<rht tn the 1*ist man.”
The charges in which the Soviets aver many Japanese falling under MacArthur’s own purge directives are still occupying prominent places in the present government, reflected the attitude of the whole Russian
press, said Whitney.
Whitney said the Soviet delegate, Lt. Gen Kuzma Derevhanko, had made no attempt to get “accurate information from the supreme command” to support his delegation’s assertions.
Annual Panhel Formal Slated
Formal attire and the music of Joe Reichman and his 17-piece orchestra will lend the finishing touches on the annual Panhellenic dance scheduled for Saturday night, 9 to 1, at the Riviera Country club.
The “Pagliacci of the Piano” Joe Reichman, comes direct from an engagement at a popular San Francisco hotel. Los Angeles dance and music enthusiasts, however are familiar with his band as the featured group at the Biltmore bowl.
Panhellenic president, Pat Luer, regretfully stated, “The capacity of the Riviera club is limited, so only a specific pumber of bids are available. This makes it impossible for all sorority women and their dates to attend,” she continued, “and we hope the various houses will understand the situation. The Riviera Country club is the largest one available for the dance.”
The decorations will be in keeping with the spirit of Panhailenic, stated Jane Lutz, vice president.
Working with Miss Luer and Miss Lutz on decorations are Carol Moss and Betty Jo LeSieur. Saturday morning they will begin the actual decoration of the spacious ballroom.
Arrangements for the ball for individual houses can be learned from t h e Panhellenic representatives. Some houses have undertaken the full obligation of the dance while others plan to assess members part of the cost for bids. Allotments of bids have been made in proportion to the size of houses.
Miss Luer called further attention to the music of Joe Reichman, claiming. “SC is extremely fortunate in securing this orchestra, for he is noted for his smooth and danceable music.” In the past, good bands have assisted the Greek feminines to make their dance outstanding, but few have been as well-known the Reichman group.
Guests will be* served refreshments consisting or ice cream, cake, and coffee, from the dining room on the main floor.
Top Contributors to Select Foreign School Recipients of Fund Donations
Betty Fullerton, committee member of the World Student Service Fund drive, has announced that any organization contributing an appreciably large sum of money to the drive will be permitted to designate the foreign university which
is to receive its contribution.
Miss Fullerton’s announcement followed the request of Mu PW Epsilon, national music honorary fraternity, that its 100 per cent donation of $1 from each member be sent to a music conservatory ia Czechoslovakia.
“Don Blank, chairman of the lo* .cal drive, has authorized me to say that yie WSSF committee will be very happy to see that the donations of campus organizations will be sent to the foreign schools that they select,” Miss Fullerton said.
DESPERATE NEED Proof of the desperate need for
the success of this drive ran be found in such countries as China and France. In China living costa have been multiplied 500 times over the level in 1936.
In France many students suffer not only from wounds of war. but also from diseases, particularly tuberculosis, which result from an insufficient war-time diet and inadequate housing. The essentiality of medical attention, food, clothing, housing and other necessities cannot be exaggerated.
ISLANDS SEEK BOOKS
“It is almost impossible to realize the hunger for books that exists in the Phillipines,” one representative of the WSSF said.
