livered on an editorial plea.
"King Oed.pus,” ‘Oedipus the King,” “Oed.pus Tyrannus.” “Oedipus Rex," or whatever other name it may assume, is the finest piece of work the SC drama department has done this season and, possibly, any other season.
To attempt to criticize the play itself would be folly. Sophocles’ drama is so powerful, so compelling, that even if a person were combe pletely familiar with it, the inex-^ ; orable march of tragic fate would ’ ! sweep h m anew from cne revela-■T~ j tion of terrible irony to the next, irt Last night’s production was so j excellent it hardly seems possible to conceive of the play being presented in any other manner. Yet if the cast and the direction had been a" degree short of what they were, the whole thing might have collapsed into a pathetic parody on our Grecian forebears.

Rushing Curbs Passed by IFC
New rushing restrictions were levied on SC fraternities when the Interfratemity council voted last night to accept three of the four proposals presented by Rush Committee Chairman Calvin Schmidt.
The council voted 15-11 to limit the time of rushing each semester to four weeks. Arguments for the adoption of this restriction centered around the fact that pledge training could start sooner; that rush chairmen could more easily plan a concise program; and that rushing would not interfere with five-week exams.
In an effort to inform rushees ol their status among fraternities, the council adopted the proposal to have the rush chairman of each house tum in a list of men not passed by that house to the office of the counselor of men. This information wJl be kept by the counselor and will be made known only to the rushees.
A plan for opm houses at the beginning of rushing for any and all men interested in pledging a house was adopted unanimously by the council. The open houses will be held the first week cf school on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7 to 10.
The council rejected a motion fcr the issuance of a new rush pamph'et containing individual hou~e linancial data. Instead, the IPC favrred to retain the r man-I ual used last semester.

570 Clubbers'
Boost T rovet Memorial Fund
Trojans were served a musical dish at noon yesterday when disc jockey Bob -McLaughlin brought a live all-star cast from his mythical ‘‘570 Club’ to Bovard stage.
Sponsored by Trovets, the show was in honor oi students and faculty members who helped with, or contributed to the Trovet Living War Memorial drive, said Paul Russell, vice-president.
Crammed into Bovard, students and faculty were entertained with 14 performances.
Kay Starr, after singing “You Were Only Fooling” and “My Darling,” was presented with two dozen roses and a banner titling her “Honorary Trovet President.”
Pianist Buddy Cole turned educator, giving students a lesson in the development of Boogie. Also on stage were vocalist Mike Douglas, the Bobbie True trio, crooner Artie Wayne, warbler Marion Morgan, the Les Baxter trio, Herb Jefferies, Gloria Wood, Harry Babbitt, the Ernie Felice quartet, Billy Eck-stine, Ted Vessley and the Dixieland group, and a 33-piece band from the .Westlake College of Music.
Living War Memorial funds were complemented by several individual contributions after the show. Alpha Kappa Psi, Squires, and the Owl club presented checks representing contributions from each member.
“However, not enough money to complete two scholarships has been raised,” said Dick Favinger, Trovet drive auditor. He estimated the fund’s present standing at $4000 with an additional $800 needed for the second scholarship.

Socializing and entertainment are lined up for the afternoon, according to Bobye Wisner, social chairman of Harris plaza.

Each week a different sorority or women’s residence hall is hostess for the open house.
Meulder Hits Reds Atheism
“One of the chief causes of communism’s atheistic, anticlerical, and violent characteristics is its failure to achieve an integration of the interests of the workers and Christianity in the nineteenth century,” said Walter G. Muelder, former SC professor of Christian theology and ethics during a recent interview.
Dr. Muelder, will speak on “The World Council and Social Disorder” Tuesday, Bowne hall, 4:15.
According to Dr. Muelder both capitalism and communism stand condemned as philosophies of life before the bar of Christian judgment, and the church itself is deeply involved in the world’s si-cial disorder.
“This disorder includes traits such as secularism and the failure to achieve a tolerable justice among nations and classes.”
For the first time in the history of the church, the present period of universal Christianity provides an opportunity for the church to develop and promote a world-wide charter of social reconstruction, said Dr. Muelder.

Bookstore Plan Spells Out End Of Congestion
Congestion and long waits, always an SC students’ bookbuying nemesis during registration time, are targets for elimination by a new bookstore plan released last Tuesday by university and student officials.
The plan calls for more space, longer store hours, and doubled staff to serve the expected horde of education seekers desiring books.
“The administration and Student Union committee have given serious consideration to this problem for some time. The expected results are sure to break up the pressure and long lines of registration book purchasing,” said Daniel McNamara. university purchasing agent.
SHOPPING BAG SERVICE
Veteran^, upon the completion of preregistration, are instructed to make out book application in the basement of Elisabeth von KieinSmid hall. Books w.ll not be issued the veteran at this time, but may be picked up starting Feb. 2.
The time between application and pick up will allow student employees to place individual veteran's books into shopping bags ready for fast delivery.
In a further effort to cut the Student Union bookstore line, all law. medical, and pharmacy students will make application for and receive then- books in the ma.iing room of Student Union.
35TH STREET FOR BULK
Another plan proposed by university and student officials is to put all bulk books, books required by more than 200 students like Man and Civilization, in the warehouse on 35th street.
Fraternity, sorority, and other on-campus resident members will be asked by the Interfratemity council and Panhellenic to pick up their books after 4:30 p.m., to allow commuting students time to buy their books.
Thomas Sherwood, director of the Associated Student store, said that the bookstore will remain cpen from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., starting Feb. 2.
USE OFFICIAL LISTS
“The official booklists to be found in the bookstore and EVK must be used. Any other iist will not be honored,” Sherwood said.
Only 75 per cent of the faculty have turned in booklists for their classes. Failure to submit such lists will result in delayed delivery, reported George Neil, textbook manager.
“If we receive the needed cooperation from students on this new distribution plan, there is no reason why time spent waiting in lines can’t be cut in half,” said Ed Vierheilig, Student Union chairman.
HOT TIME ON 28th STREET
Fire Destroys Phi Tau Annex
Fire destroyed the armex to the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house, 904 West 28th street, yesterday morning, but only one member was injured when he was partially overcome by smoke. Damage to personal belongings was at a minimum.
Engine and ladder companies 10, 15, and 22 answered the alarm at 10:45 a.m.
Flames were first seen by Phi Tau Ted Voss who looked up while shaving and saw flames breaking through the roof. Voss quickly awakened the top floor’s only other occupant, Bob Kennedy, and dashed into the main house yelling “Fire!” Three men who were reading the morning paper nodded at
him and replied, “You don’t say?”
When they saw that Voss was serious, the men quickly routed out everyone else who was in the house. Approximately 20 men answered the shouts and began dashing into the annex and carrying out clothes, books, and anything else of value. Men who climbed to the top floor had to fight their way through smoke and falling timber. Paul Seng was partially overcome by smoke.
Although some clothing was ruined by smoke, nearly all the occupants’ possessions were saved. The annex, which was insured, was rendered completely useless.
The Arson squad has not yet de-
termined the cause of the blaze, but it was believed to have been started by defective wiring.
Firemen climbed atop the adjoining Tri-Delt and Zeta Tau Alpha sorority houses and extinguished sparks which had begun to burn on the roofs.
DT reporters Bill Lyon and BiL’ Monteith, both Phi Taus. made several trips into the burning house to rescue valuables. On their last hasty trip, they staggered out witfc a huge cardboard box. Proudly they set it down and peered inside to see what valuable treasure they had saved from the flames. It was the trash box I
