offered the three-act comedy, "Holiday" to an appreciative audience in Fraser theater. With the aid of a play smart enough to merit the use of that overworked adjective—sparkling, and some capable actors, the audience was treated to a grand time. Light and swift, it was probably the most enjoyable production seen on the campus this season.
The plot is the not unusual one of the young man marrying money (some of your folks may recall the word) Rolla Nuckles as Johnmy Case meets and falls in love with Julia Seton (Edythe Mulevvillh), but as so frequently happens the falling in love phase is the easiest part of the whole story, the funny quickly wins the support of Julia's sister, Linda, played by Laurel Allen, and the passive approval of the two-fisted drinking brother (Gilmer Reynolds). But Father Seton (Darl Kennel) is not to be pushed into anything.
The patriarchal okay comes with the revelation that the young Johnny is something of a financial wizard himself. However, the飞 floples in the ointment, when Banker Seton not only wants to run the wedding, but to hushe the young man right along the road to success. Johnny, to use his own words, wants "to retire young and work old." Linda understands this philosophy
Metropolitan Opera Star Will Sing Here Monday
(Continued on page 3)
The last artist to appear on the University Concert course this season will be Gladys Swanthout, mezzo-sprane of the company, a company who says Monday evening.
Gladys Swarthout, Famous Soprano, to Be Music Week Artist
The career of this young singer, in her twenties, has been one of steady and constant rise to fame. During her first season with the Chicago Civic Opera company, Miss Swarthout appeared in Chicago and on tour with the company singing the roles of Siebel, in "Faust"; Stephona, in "Romeo and Juliet"; Musetta, in "La Boheme"; Feodor, in "Boris Guunoff", the Shepherd Boy, in "Tannhauer"; Carlybe, in "Thais"; Rose, in "Lakeme"; Street Sweeper, in "Louise"; Pantails, in "Meistolle"; Shephard Boy, in "Toso", and Concetta, in "Jewels of the Madonna". Although she did not know a single actress, she was given her liminary audition, by the conductor of her first season she had appeared in more than half of the total number of operas presented.
This young star was a member of the Ravinia Opera company for several successive seasons, singing with success the roles of Hansel, in "Hansel and Gretel"; Nancy, in "Martha"; Mercedes, in "Carmen"; Carmen, in "Carmen", in carmine, in Lola, in Rose; Ruthie, in Rose; Stephane, in "Ronexe and Juliet"; Vision, in "Tales of Hoffman"; and Julietta, in "Tales of Hoffman".
Three years ago the Metropolitan Opera company opened its doors to her and here again she established a record, making 56 appearances, the largest number of any member of the company.
On March 27, 1928, she was called upon to substitute for Giovanni Martinielli in Milwaukee before an audience of 3,500.
The Quill club, a national literary society for juniors and seniors, at a meeting last Thursday night invited the Pen and Scroll club, a local literary organization for freshmen and sophomores, to organize the two clubs as one society.
Gladys Swarthout attended Central High School in Kansas City, Mo., and her mezzo-soprano voice was even then known to be exceptional in quality.
Although the Pen and Scroll members will not be recognized by the national organization, in the chapter here they will have the same privileges and status as the junior and senior members.

Working Students Plan to Rephrase New Constitution
C' Average Clause for Eligibility May Be Stricken Out of Original Document
The executive committee of the Self-
Supporting Student association, discussed a proposed revision of the con-
duit curriculum in 222 Central Administration building.
At a suggestion of the entire committee, Wray Chate, c'35, chairman, with the assistance of Evangeline Clark, c'35, temporary secretary, and Waldo Shaw, c'35, acting as committee will reword the constitution in the form that the executive committee desired in last night's discussion. The constitution will then be given over to the executive committee for revision or approval and must then be accepted by the majority group of self-supporting students in the organization before becoming valid.
It was decided in the discussion that the major officers for the organization would be president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. The "C" *average clause for eligibility of membership will probably be stricken out of the discussion at last night's meeting, according to Choate.
The substance of the change will be to allow any self-supporting student enrolled regularly in the University and who is registered in one of the employment bureaus, to become a member of the organization.
Ten questionnaires were sent out today by Mrs. Ida Walker, secretary of the men's student adviser, to schools and universities in the surrounding states to find out what other schools are doing in regard to self supporting student organizations.
