This year the Dramatic Club is
adoting a new system in connection
with admitting new members to their
ranks. They have announced that anyone interested in any phase of dramatic work is eligible to make application for membership. Blanks are
available in the book-room for anyone interested. The club wishes to
emphasize the fact that any student
now in school (senior, junior, sophomore, or freshman) is eligible for
membership, the advantages of membership to begin immediately. Following application each applicant will
have a choice as to three types of tryout—extemporaneous acting try-out
to display ability in imagination and
portrayal—the prepared try-out using material selected by the applicant and practiced by him and pvesented—and the technical tvy-out fov
those interested in stage-setting, costuming, and the like, consisting of
sketches, suggestions, etc.
From the material acquired by
these try-outs the Dramatics Club expects to select a lavge number of students who will have eithev general ov
specialized interest in dramatics and
are looking for a chance to use it.
There are three plays yet to come in
our college dramatic season and
therefore plenty of oppovtunity for
those interested in dramatics to put
their intevest into pvactice. Don't be
too modest! All you need is the wish
to join! Sign the application and
leave the rest to the Dramatic Club.
The deadline for handing in applications had been set fov Frielay at
twelve o'clock noon.

According to Mr. A. D. Patterson,
treasurer of the Student Activity
Council, the following is a statement

Pennsylvania was the last s t a t e in
the Union to adopt an official s t a t e
flower. The legislature of 1933 laid on
Govemor Pinchot's desk two bills fov
his signatuve and left it to him to
make the choice between the azalea
and the m o u n t a i n lauvel as the s t a t e
flower. The Govevnov, admiving both
the azalea and the mountain laurel
was unwilling to choose between the
two so he allowed Mrs. Pinchot to
make the choice. She chose the m o u n tain lauvel and that's that.

Do you know what makes the Mexican j u m p i n g bean j u m p or t u r n ovev? Heve's the a n s w e r — T h e Mexican
jumping bean is the seed of t h r e e
varieties of swamp tvees. A v e r y
small gvay moth lays its eggs in t h e
blossoms of the bean, which becomes
the home of t h e lavva. The m a t u r e
larva can j u m p around on the inside
of the bean, and this act causes the
bean to t u r n over or j u m p . I believe
if I were couped up in a bean I'd be
inclined to j u m p around a bit, too.
When we thinnk of a slice of watermelon we think of a smiling negvo

for thousands of years.

How to Do It to Get Results

WALTER WINCHELL, Jr.

-THE DORM SCRIBE
It would be hard to think of any-j
thing move stupenduously tvivial than
the matters which I present in this
column to your benevolent scrutiny.
Neavly all my life I have heavd that
all wovk and no play makes Jack a
dull boy. Well ladies and gentlemtn,
I've discoveved that all work and no
play makes "jack." . . Waltev Wilkinson has a snap of it in the coming
play, "The Ghost Train", he dies in
the first act, nothing to do all the rest
of the evening but go down in the
audience and hear what his family
has to say about him after he is dead
. . Here's some foreign color to this
column - General Micheal Nicolaivitch
Touchachevski was fived on but even
at that the bullet never Touchachevskied him . . A day-voomev was heavd
to remark, "Things must be getting
better. Last week our boarding house
lady's chicken soup really had chicken
in it" . . But what galls yours truly is
the fact that there are eleven kinds
of money in circulation in this country and yet it is so hard to get our
hands on any one kind of it. (Maybe
I'm stealing thunder that rightfully
belongs to that O. G. Whiz fellow
but dirt is a good filler.) . . How'ja
like the "big scenes" at the Senior
Ball in the last issue? Want some of
the Sophomore Hop? O. K.! . . so
watch youvself, all youse guys and
gals. I've been listening . . Seems to
me the world has stopped scrapping
over what is right and is now scrapping ovev what is left . . Fvom a local
scouvce comes the news that "The
Medal" has been awavded to a Pennsylvanian and the oddest part of it is
that it didn't go to a politician . .
My, my, my, just look at those boys
who weav those funny ears! It's a
wonder to me they don't take off
(like an airplane) . . Well, it feels
like spring today . . I ought to write
some poetvy but I'll leave it to those
fellows -who hang avound Social
Squave. They've in the mood . . Howavd Bvubakev in the "New Yorker"
says that there is a company that
agrees to answer your telephone if
you're out . . Now if we only had
somebody to listen to the vadio fov
us . . Some of our feminine attractions are tvying out sonre new perfume, suitably labeled "Of Thee I
Sing." It gives one that let's-go feeling at the first whiff . . If you are one
of those people who go home every
week-end, don't forget your bag,
baggage, and birdcage . . Why do I
tell you all of this? Well, all the
above was left on a certain curb not
long ago . . Anesthesia was said to
be the name of one of the late Czav
of Russia's daughtevs . . Nurse: a
conglomeration of unpleasant sounds
. . Wound: a vernacular contraction
of will not . . And, oh, yes! I am flattered to receive a letter from a member of the student body asking me to
please take two anti-acid tablets thirty minutes before I get up in the
morning. Didn't say what day (some
Tuesday next week probably) . . aw!
. . go climb a test-tube . . Anyway,
let's have some more of the lettevs.
Maybe I'll put them in pvint—sure,
lol mo know if you think that column

Campus Merry-Go-Round

In the paper put out by the California Teachers College, "Hammer
and Tongs," for Febvuavy 1, 1934,
appeared an article concerning the
impovtant items to be stressed in
writing letters of application. This
was a sequel to two articles concerning "Ways and Means of Securing
Teaching Positions." The opinions of
the California faculty members as to
impovtant items to include in letters
of application are:
"Know just what to put into a letter of application and organize that
material in a logical and effective
way."
"Prepare a well organized data
sheet, easily read, from which information wanted can be picked out
vapidly. The letter itself should read
smoothly, be well arranged, and written on appropriate stationery."
"A letter of application should be
perfect with respect to English. A
single error in English is fatal."
"The general English should be
perfect with an inclosure of: applicant's picture, qualifications, and a
request for a personal interview."
"An application should have good
form, perfect English, conciseness,
neatness, brevity, and exactness."
"Brevity and clearness should be
applied to the following: training for
situation; experience whieh might aid
in qualifications, and references for
personal data. Howevev, vesearch has
pretty well established the fact that
very little can be told about an ajiplicant's suitability for a situation in
a letter of application, except in extreme cases; otherwise, it is pure
chance.
Concensus of opinion that perfect
English, good form, neatness, conliseness, and readily accessible data
are essential.

The most punctual attendant at
chapel briskly enters on four legs,
wags his tail and nonchalantly aggregates himself in the nearest vacant

that he is a stoic would be an unwarranted accusation. He just isn't, as is
shown by the aesthetic film over his
