Two William^ Saroyan one-act plays, “Hello Out There,” and “My Heart’s in the Highlands.” will officially open the Stop Gap theater tonight for a four-day run.
Both are mood plays written in Saroyan's typically expressionistic style. Drama students have designed special sets which reflect the authors use of symbolism.
“Hello Out There” tells of the small-town romance of a convicted rapist and a jail cook. “My Heart s in the Highlands” describes the dual misadventures of “The World's Greatest Living Unknown Poet" and an old acior-trumpet player.

McKEE ENTERS
Nominations included Jack McKee, ASSC president: Lucy Lanot and Ellen Potter, ASSC vice-president; Betty Garfinkle, ASSC secretary; Larry Bub and Tom Perry, senior class president; and Cal Schmidt, junior class president.
McKee's nomination brought to two the number of candidates seeking the Row’s backing for ASSC president. Ed Vierheilig filed his intention to run last week.
The constitutional provision calling for only certain specified offices to appear on the ballot was defeated.
NOMINATIONS OPEN
Since defeat of the proposal allows new offices to be added to the ballot, nominations for all offices are to be held open until 6 tonight so all houses may prepare candidates if they so desire.
Another proposed revision introduced by Johnny Davis went down to defeat. The proposal stated, “Only members of houses affiliated with EPC be allowed to vote.”
The meeting's greatest dissension was based on the fact that many fraternities and sororities would not be allowed to join EPC if that organization was deemed a political one.
“Let’s face facts,’’ said Theta Chi Jack Graves, “Of course it is a political organization, it can't be interpreted otherwise.”
PROTESTS MADE
This brought a storm of protest from the students of non-member houses who stated that their charters would not permit them to join such an organization. No unified agreement as to whether or not the EPC was to be deemed “political” in nature was ever decided upon.
Candidates nominated for other offices at yesterday's meeting were Jack Crawford, Jim Eddy, Ted Johnson, Gala Peck, and Stan Tom-lison, sophomore class president; John Hungerford and Bill Putney, LAS president; Bob Beaudry, Jim Thornburg, and Al Roweder, commerce president; Ted Econome. pharmacy president; Bill Paynter 2nd Paul Tay, architecture presi* dent; Bruce Saban, music president; and Bob McClinden and Chuck Posner.

“Lavengro: The Saga of George Borrow. Traveler and Linguist,” wiU be the topic of Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English language and literature, in today's session of the Wednesday lecture series.
Dr. Baxter will present the fifth in the series of nine lectures at 3:15 in the art and lecture room of University library.
Borrow was a little known 19th century linguist, who was particularly fascinated by gypsies, tinker^, racehorses, jockies, prize-fighters, and the languages and dialects of the various European nations.
Borrow’s reputation, which was of no consequence in his own time, has grown steadily since his death.
He wrote many translations from practically all of the languages of Europe. He also translated from Arabic, Persian, and Manchu.
He is better known, however, for his curious books on travels. “Lavengro” and “The Romany Rye” tell of the gypsies and tinkers of England.
“The 3ible in Spain” tells of his adventures on the peninsula, and “Wild Wales” is a sort of travelogue of a long walking trip in Wales.
The lecture wiU be free to all students.

Reduction in War Odds Hoped ★ ★ ★ ★ Baxter Letter Mailed
The “Baxter Plan” to reduce the odds for World War III is in the mails on its way to President Tru-
I man in Washington.
Robert B. Pettengill, faculty adviser to the SC Council of Atomic Implications, said that 35 students had signed the letter and that it had been mailed Monday night.
The idea of a letter to President Truman was introduced by CAI spokesmen after Dr. Frank Baxter, professor of English language and I literature, told of his plan to achieve a “meeting of minds and to help break the Iron Curtain” at a CAI lecture last week.
His plan calls for sending 20 Americans to Moscow to discuss the problems separating Russia and the US with a similar group from the USSR. Both committees would be selected from all walJu ot life
and would be unofficial bodies, unable to make any commitment
which would be binding upon their
countries.
A long-distance aim of the plan would be to effect a similar meeting of the two committees in the US.
Pettengill said that rime had played a very important part in holding the number of signatures down to 35.
“We could have gotten 35 signatures on the afternoon that the plan was introduced if we had had a letter ready at that time,” he said.
Many more students came up to his office to sign up yesterday, he said, but it was too late because the letter was already on its way to Wajjr.ingtoa.
