Barnard College considers revising its undergraduate constitution to fix a confusing election system, address ties, and shorten the election period. A committee will study peer models and gather student input via the Representative Assembly meeting to draft a revised document for broader participation.
The review lauds Jean Ferguson Black’s unconventional four-woman tag team around a philandering husband at Penny Wise Farm. Kenneth MacKenna leads with natural humor, Irene Purcell, Mildred Wall, Bertram Thorn deliver strong support, and Linda Watkins steals the show with charm and timing. The production feels solid, with a sturdy set and wholesome atmosphere, though not a record breaker.
Readers advocate a Joke and gossip emphasis plus broader university news beyond Barnard. Proposals include center front page announcements, more pages with smaller write-ups, improved spacing, adult journalism style, humor sections, and more college-wide activities, gossip, and timely news.
A letter argues against going away to college for New York women, praising city life and local opportunities over secluded campus living. The writer contrasts dormitory life with European study abroad and notes dorm contact with the city, urging less isolation and more social development. Includes editor’s note apologizing for a misprint.
A cheeky campus column recalls a dorm fire drill mishap and four seniors blundering seven stairs in pink pajamas after a library sandwich mix up. It hints at Cape Cod summer plans, Mortarboard photo tests, Model League delegates mischief, and newsroom antics with a hammer and rag doll decorating Horace. The piece invites readers to contact the office with lunch theft leads and snowbound mischief details.
The Wake Up and Live musical at the Roxy Theatre stars Jack Haley as a charming phantom troubadour causing radio chaos. Alice Faye and Patsy Kelly support, with Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie playing themselves in a lively satire. The cast sings Gordon and Revel numbers as the plot mingles feuding personalities with a big broadcast finale.
