University Stage Players Set For 'Outward Bound'
★ Final Dramatic Offering
Opens Tomorrow Night
in Fraser Theater; Cast
Includes Eight
The fourth and last production of the University players, "Outward Bound," will open Monday night in Fraser theater. Advance ticket sales show that the production will play to a full house the four days of its run.
"Outward Bound" is one of the most dramatic and original plays ever seen on the modern stage. It concerns a strangely assorted group of people on an unknown ocean liner. They gradually make the startling discovery that they are all dead, inundated by the waves of the crew. Their reactions to this fact go to make up one of the most unusual plays of modern times.
The scenery for "Outward Bound" is being designed and built by Prof Allen Crafton, professor of dramatics, and Don Dixon, instructor of dramatics. The settings are expected to much to the weird plot of the play.
Members of the cast are: Betty Burch, fa 41; Marvin Moon, c'uel Billship, fa 40; Gordon Brigham c'40; Robert Cook, fa 39; Elmer McCarthy, c'39; Rola Nuckles, instructs dramatizes; and Mrs. Alter Crafton.

ON THE SHIN
Table Talk Tips, or more unclassified information: It would be possible to transport every person in Kansas out of the state by automobile within 5 hours, and there would be only three and a half persons in each car. But if you were in Kansas but unable to get to a bath at night on a Saturday night there would be 17 people in each bath tub.
The ratio of bath tubs to cars being what it is, one cringes slightly upon seeing as many as eight Pih Phi's cruising about in one little convertible 'roadster. Rub-adub- dub... !
Becausehis telephone conversations with Ann Murray frequently lapsed into periods of dull silence for lack of anything to talk about, Kappa Sig Miller Cameron now writes down the reasons. When a pause becomes uncomfortably he merely looks up the next topic and continues.
Mary Cole and Floyd Conley were the two jitterbags whose exhibition of terpischure at the last mid-week made you feel at least 10 years old.
A frustrated youth complains love-lornedly of a Gamma Phi beauty he now calls Sara un-Fair. He'd probably get more sympathy if he didn't use that degenater pun.
