The most professional Coed Capers show in many years made a one-night stand in Bovard auditorium last night to a standing-room-only audience. After much decision, the hesitant judges finally gave the trophies to Alpha Delta Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Chi Omega.
Alpha Delta Pi walked off with first prize for an all-red and black interpretation of the “Ritual Fire Dance.” Garbed in black tights and wearing fantastic ballet makeup, the group presented an extremely well-timed interpretation of the popular works.
Red spotlights and trick lighting effects created a flickering flame setting which made the number outstanding in planning as well as dancing.
Second place went to Gamma Phi Beta coeds for their “Melody of Time.” A phosphorescent clock with pretty faces marking the hours and a formally-gowned girl seated in the center formed the background for a harmonious styling of “Time on My-Hands,” “The Five O’clock Whistle Never Blew,” and “My, How the Time Goes By.”
Alpha Chi Omega captured third prize with a rousing caricature called “Collegiate.” A king-size Tirebiter and three lively song leaders contributed to the college setting.
“A Sailor's Fantasy” won honorable mention to the Delta Gammas. The Manhattan skyline made a convincing locale for the ballet and adagio dances.
The highlight of the 11-act vaudeville was the Pi Beta Phi’s “Shooting of Dan McGrew.” Attention stemmed from the loss of a green stocking by one of the cancan dancers.
The use of new props such as the phosphorescent costumes, wooden shoes, rubber masks, and animated lighting produced a show much more elaborate than in former years. Professional costuming of the entire cast made the Capers one of the fanciest shows to hit campus in some time.

Labor Party Wins Test on Housing Plan
LONDON. Mar. 13—(U.E)—The Labor government won its second vote of confidence in five days in the House of Commons tonight by a majority of 25.
The vote was 314 to 289 against a Conservative motion of no confidence on the government’s Musing program.
Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee had announced that the government would resign and precipitate one of the biggest political crises in years, if they were defeated.
Two more no confidence votes are to come in the Conservative campaign of constant harassing of the government—one on finance tomorrow night and one on national defense Thursday.
As the government has chosen to make such no confidence votes

Howard Kotler. former IFC president, and Hal Carter, ex-president of Trovets. are the two candidates for the senator-at-large position vacated by Richard Podmore at the start of the current semester.
Duane Shelstad, a candidate for the position last spring, has served as an interim senator, but did not seek election to the post.
Also on the ballot will be a proposed constitutional amendment giving the general student body the right to initiate legislation by petition.
HEATED DEBATE
This amendment was the object of heated debate in the Senate. Almost every point was contested, and the amendment in its present form emerged only after a fight against a proposal to shelve the bill for committee action.
The initiative would set up machinery whereby students could petition the Senate for any legislation. Any initiative petition would have to be signed by 25 per cent of as many students as voted at the last previous general election before it could be considered.
A petition would be transmitted by the ASSC Rules committee to the Senate at its next regular meeting. The proposed law must be enacted or rejected, unchanged, by the Senate within 30 days of receipt. If it is enacted by the Senate and approved by the administration, it goes back before the student body as a referendum.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 13—Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R.-Wis.) today labelled three State Department officials as pro-Communists and said a Navy scientist with access to “topmost defense secrets” is an admitted Red.

Wheeler says, there are two additional types of carnivorous plants.

duces its own enzymes which digest the prey so the plant can absorb it.
The Sundew's tips open again and another victim may be caught.
The California Pitcher, native to the northern Sierra Nevada and the northern coast ranges, possesses a large tubular leaf into which the insect crawls. Ultimately the victim drowns in the bottom of the tubular leaf.
This plant has been sold. Professor Wheeler says, by a local department store and has been advertised under the name of a “eobra-orchid.-’
