-SHREW’ TO BE TAMED TONIGHT FOR CRITICS
Tonight the curtain goes up on William Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew.”
And, seated in the audience will be a combination of the toughest critics . . . “first nighters” and professionals from the movie capital of the world—Hollywood.
Corrine Calvet, Barbara Hale, Jon Vohs, Ann Richards, Jeanne )Crain are some of the female stars who have promised to see the jremiere performance: Gloria DeHaven may also attend.
Other Hollywood personalities scheduled to watch the drama lepartment’s production are Bill Williams, Joe E. Brown, Louis Cal-
hern, and Max Steiner, arranger of three Academy Award winning scores and who arranged the SC production’s musical score.
From behind-the-scenes MGM personalities who will be around to comment on tonight’s performances are Dore Schary, vice-president in charge of production at MGM; George Sidney, director; his wife, Lillian Burns, talent coach; Walter Strome, head production manager, Joe Luckie, business manager; and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wilcoxson. Mr. Wilcoxson is assistant to Cecil B. DeMille.
Completing the list are Edwin Willis, head set director and Academy Award winner for "Lilli,” and Mr. and Mrs. Keogh Gleason. Mr. Gleason is assistant to Willis and Mrs. Gleason is publisher of Silver Screen magazine.
Several special features will mark the 1954 presentation of the ‘Taming of the Shrew.” Scheduled to wind up its SC run on Saturday, a matinee performance will also be given Friday at 2:40 pjn.
According to Pat Bradley, production manager, the remodeling of Eovard into a replica of the Old Globe Theater of Shakespeare’s time will be another unusual feature.
“Usually a Shakespearean play has to adapt itself to the modem theater, but this is the first time at SC, that we are adapting the theater to the play,” Bradley added.
More than 25 actors will be dressed in'authentic Elizabethan costumes, and the “Shrew’’ will be one of the few contemporary pro-
ductions to be presented without the use of a curtain to end the act, thereby running a continuous play. There will be the usual intermission, however, Bradley said.
Cherie Brigham is the feminine lead and protrays “Kate” while “Petrucio” is played by Paul Phillips.
Supporting members of the play, which will be directed by Prof. Howard Banks, include Don Wright, Gretchen Kane, and Louis Pol-lay. Sets are by Robert Corrigan.
Bradley said tickets can still be obtained at the Student Union ticket office, at the drama department, or the Southern California Music Company, 937 South Hill Street

Post time is today at 10 a.m. for the annual four-day ice featuring 35 of the country’s finest “thoroughbreds.”
The stakes are high—an expense-paid, Paris-style evening in Hollywood at the Moulin Rouge with a movie star; a complete summer formal wardrobe donated by “After Six” formal wear; the additional honor of being SC’s “Mr. Formal” candidate for the national title; and a 24-inch trophy donated by Tuxedo Center. Odds Are Best Last year’s winner of the national “Mr. Formal” contest sponsored by “After Six,” Jerry Jan-ger of Oklahoma University, recently signed a movie contract with Columbia Pictures.
The odds are the best—how can you lose when the gate goes to the Trojan Chest Bettors can buy “win tickets” for 25 cents, 50 cents and $1 at the pari-mutual booth in front of the Student Union until Friday with each 25-cent “bet” counting as one vote.
If it rains the booth will be set up in the foyer in front of Bovard Auditorium.
Semi-daily positions of the contestants will be posted on a large “toteboard” above the booth.

Rain Postpones Throwing of Pies
The last word on the pie throwing contest was not uttered by a Trojan Chest publicity chairman yesterday but by that great force of nature— the weatherman. As a result of yesterday’s rain the gooey goings-on slated for this noon have been postponed.
New time for the pie pitching has been set for Thursday noon, according to LeRoy Barker, pie throw co-chairman.
The contest was called off at the last minute when Reo Ellsworth, sales manager for the Bowie Pie Company, said that the creme pies would be ruined if they were delivered in the rain.
“We’ve got our fingers crossed that the pie throw can still be held, but right now it's doubtful,’ ’Barker said.

Men Languor, Women Clamor for Beaux Arts
Ya want Bohemian atmosphere? Ya all shook up with those stories about Paris? They’re typical of Saturday’s Beaux Arts Ball, according to Bob Jones, president of the School of Architecture, which is sponsoring the dance Saturday at the Chase Hotel in Santa Monica.
But have ya tried tc tell this to the boys? Somebody hasn’t, according to the girls. Jones said women expressing a desire to attend the affair have noted lack of interest in it by men students, apparently not oriented to the French style of throwing parties.
Not Normal Dance “This will be a dance, but not in the normal sense of the word,” Jones said, pointing out that members of the movie colony will be in attendance. “Stars and starlets

Tak'em Student, Add Zuni Song, Getfem Rain
You can blame the recent rains on Carleton Crane.
Crane, a anthropology major, decided to test the effectiveness of the Zuni Indians’ rain dances.
He sneaiked into the Music Library last week, steathfully slipped a recording of the Zuni ceremony on the phonograph and let the fates ply their trade.
One hour later it began to rain.
Later in the week, he again played the Zuni music. Yoiks! It rained again.
Crane is now evading certain gentlemen from the California Chamber of Commerce who just don’t appreciate Zuni music.
Student Designs on Display in Founders
Students enrolled in fine arts design classes 371A and 472B are currently displaying their silk screen fabric exhibit under the direction of associate professor Ralph W. Johnstone.
Scheduled to run for two weeks, the exhibits are located in the display case at the south end of Founders Hall and at Harris Hall where it is featured as a window display in the west patio.
Conservatives' First Meeting Set for Today
Campus politicos will sound off this afternoon when the first general meeting of the recently-formed Student Conservative Party is held in 229 FH.
According to Alan Carpenter chairman of the SC party, anyone cam attend today’s meet,
scheduled for 3:30 p.m., toss in suggestions, and vote on any of
the issues on the agenda.
Girls, Too
Issues to be worked over include ratification of the new constitution, seating of the steering committee, appointments of committee cnairman, and determination of policy.
Carpenter said he will suggest “dual membership, which will be particularly applicable to the girls who are members of sororities and at the same time can be liberal about campus issues.”
In the proposed constitution it is stipulated that any independent can be seated on the steering committees provided he or she represents 20 or more independents.
Independents Sought
“I. would like to see a lot of independents as well as organized students from the Row participating in today’s activities,” Carpenter said.
“The S.C., party seeks to solidify students into one common unit for democratic government,” he said.
Amendments to the constitution will also be voted upon at today’s meet.
The constitution was drawn up by Roy Foreman, Jerry Carr, and other students interested in campus politics. Carpenter said.
Sororities Told Of New Rules'
An unidentified man, or men, believed to be from UCLA, told of alleged changes in regulations for women blood donors at several sorority houses during the dinner hour last night in what appeared to be an attempt to interfere with SC’s blood drive. A member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority reported the man appeared,

Notice
Veterans on Public Laws 16 and 894 (Rehabs) may now apply for a refund on their Activity Books by submitting the green copy of their fall 1953 fee bill to the Veterans Credit Office. The office is now located at 3454 University Avenue and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

claiming to represent the Interfraternity Council, and told the women that blood donors had to weigh “120 pounds, instead of the announced 110 pounds” in order to give blood to the Red Cross drive in progress.
He also appeared in at least three other houses, giving the same announcement. He was described by one woman as being “six feet tall and having dark hair” and by another as “a very cute boy.”
Sensed Foul Play
Mary Barrett, chairman of the blood drive and a member of Kappa Gamma, sensing a discrepancy, called an IFC representative, who said he knew nothing about any change in regulations or about any “tall, dark young man.”
At a late hour the Daily Trojan was unable to locate anyone in an official capacity who knew anything about such a change or about the man who came to dinner on the Row.
Speculation was that the man who made the “announcement,” while urging sorority women (120-pound variety) to give blood in a seemingly sincere appeal, was a student from UCLA or a local prankster.
Collect 144 Pints
Earlier yesterday, the first official day of the drive, students and faculty donated 144 pints. Only 18 volunteers were turned down by doctors in attendance.
“The fact that doctors had to reject only 18 of the 162 persons who passed through the collection center in the Commons basement is encouraging,” Chairman Barrett 6aid.
“Although more students came in than we had anticipated, the bloodmobile is still operating far below its daily capacity.” Yesterday, 50 more students pledged blood, bringing the total to 320 sign-ups. The sign-up table will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. all this week, but students should donate early in the week to prevent a passible overflow on Friday which the bloodmobile is not equipped to handle.
Minor’s Release Anyone between the ages of 18 and 59 who is in good health may sign-up to give blood. A minors release signed by a parent or legal guardian is required of any
donor under 21.
“Many faculty members have come in tc give blood and I hope that more will follow this example,” said Miss Barrett.
“Response from the Row and ROTC groups has been encouraging, but independent students should realize they are included in the drive, too.”
Shuttle Service A shuttle service is being operated between the Row and collection center in the Commons basement by Pi Kappa Alpha’s fire engine.
Postcards have been sent to students who signed up last week reminding them of their date with the bloodmobile Those unable to make their appointments should arrange for a different time to donate.
UCLA is stiU ahead in the cross-town race. Both schools have 1200-pint-quotas and the Bruins have more than 600 signups.

★ ★ ★ Bobette Bentley Urger Alumni Day Support
“Alumni Day is for students too,” said Bobette Bently, ASSC vice-president. She said that this event is for the people who are always asking why there are not more events to attend.
“Many Trojans who complain about lack of events don’t go to them when they do occur,” she said.
“We’ll have 31 fraternity, sorority and other booths. Hot dogs, cotton candy. It’ll be a real carnival. A football game too.”
“The faculty-alumni baseball game will be terrific,” she said. Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid will umpire.
Dr. Baxter will be ‘barker’ for the carnival, Miss Bently added.
