The campus Playhouse presents three professional one-act plays directed by students Monday. The event follows last year's student produced pieces and showcases actors, producers, and stage crews. Everyone in the University is invited to attend and support this creative work.
The piece lauds the basketball team and coach for a recent win. It proposes removing caps and ties, easing exam congestion, and asks for better after dance congestion solutions. It invites professors to follow the Dean's exam schedule and endorses the Charity Ball during Christmas.
The essay laments repeated campus patterns in favor of moderating social life. It notes a timeless cycle from ancient birth to present figures, urges restraint in corsages and dances, and questions enduring calls for religious freedom as a campus issue.
Guest editorial by Ralph Kinsey argues that Richmond College students show declining effort and morale. It cites mid semester grades, class-cutting, poor note taking, and warns that compulsory military training and national defense pressures could threaten futures unless students regain diligence and avoid the dean’s not preferred list.
Cotten Pickin’s PROM REVIEW highlights by a lively college page. Brother Ozlin and Van Keys lead a night of music and flirtation with Miss North Carolina of 1939 joked about as a lean year. Prom crowds, kiss myths, and a dorm attendance mystery mix with tea dances and charity balls.
Duke Ellington’s advanced jazz work highlighted with Bojangles portrayals and compositions inspired by modern life and celebrities. New records Warm Valley and The Flaming Sword showcase slow and exotic arrangements with notable sax solos. Erskine Hawkins features Norfolk Ferry and Put Yourself in My Place as part of the Swing Classic listings.
