Golden Daze, depicting the progress of. a small, yet mighty, college, left ,ts audience dazed-dazed by the ver­satility and talent of all who help­ed in its production and perfor­mance. Here, in the short space of two hours and a half, the audience was given the inside story of what has transpired in the past, what is happening today, and a bright outlook for the future of Ithaca College.

Originality was the keyword of the show. The music was original; the dances were Ithaca College creations; the script was written by our own talented pl?ywrights -in fact, it was all conceived, pro­duced and enacted by the students. The cooperation and harmony among · the departments insured the success of this show, for with­out their untiring efforts and cap-

Ideas For Bond Money From Other Colleges

The senior class of the Univers­ity of Wisconsin is planning early for its class reunion in 1952. To finance the get-together, almost $500 from the class treasury is going to be invested in United States Defense Savings Bonds for ten years. And a smart investment it is, too, because $487.50 loaned to the Treasury now will bring a profit of $162.50 when Uncle Sam redeems the bonds in 1952. At the same time, the governme·nt will

The shortening of the Spring semester has necessitated several changes in the scholastic calendar; one of these is the dropping of one play from the list of six pres­ented annually in the college theatre. Goethe's "Faust," well known to both theatre enthusiasts and musicians, now is slated as the closing play for the season. The production is dated for April 16, 17, and 18, with a special performance for high school guests of the Annual Theatre Festi­val, sponsored by the Department of Drama on April 25. Mr. Reich, who will direct the show, has al­ready begun rehearsals, for the cast is large, and the play is a difficult one, both from the stag­ing and directing angles. Not all part!; have as yet been assigned. The following is the cast list as it stands at the present time:

"The Kingdom of God," Dr. Charles J. McGaw's second direc­torial assignment proved to be his second "hit." Although entirely different in theme and mood from "Two on an Island," the re­cently presented production seemed as popular with town and student playgoers as his first play.

Herewith we attempt to present a cross section of the opinion of the three departments, realizing, however, that four students can­not logically speak for the entire school.

Physical Education-Being a phy ed and not a drama student my criticism of the show will have to consist of what I liked or disliked rather than a technical analysis of the production.

I go to a show to be entertain­ed; I wasn't. I go to a show to re­lax; I didn't. I go to a show to en­joy it; I didn't. I don't go to a show to be taught a moral; I was. But I go to a show to see fine acting, and I saw it.

The students of the college held a dance at a New Jersey night club, with the pur­chase of a $1.00 Defense Stamp serving as the admission price. If all those who received Defense Stamp booklets continue filling them out. the evening's fun will result in the sale of 100,000 $ 1.00 stamps.

Sigma Delta Psi

Reorganization The Theta chapter of Sigma Del­

ta Psi, after three years of lethar­gy, has snapped out of it and is now pledging twenty-one men.

Dr. Steers has been appointed faculty sponsor, and under his guidance, the officers are shaping a program which they hope will be beneficial to the school as a whole as well as to the fraternity. The organization will be entirely composed of new men after grad­uation as our three present mem­bers, President Fritz Becker, Vice­President Don Brown, and Secre­tary Bruce Herwig are all seniors.

The first pledge meeting will be held March 16, followed by the informal initiation March 23. The formal initiation will be held April 6, the Monday following Easter. Plans have been made for the election and induction of of­ficers on April 13.

Since a recent talk with Mr. Hill, w~ have hopes--of the school's furnishing a fraternity house for the coming year. After all the splendid cooperation from the ad­ministration, we will do our ut­most to live up to their expecta­tions.

The officers wish to thank the members of Phi Epsilon Kappa for the interest and aid they have given us in our reorganization.

With the hurry and scurry of Scampers keeping the girls busy all day long, the excitement has been great in the house.

The basketball season is over and a fine one it was. Congratula­tions are in order to all the people who had a part in it. Most every­one has congratulated the coach, players and managers, so I'm go­ing to con.gratulate the lowly subs. Most of you never sat on the bench or went on a trip, but all of you were out there day after day furnishing the opposition for scrimmages. You didn't get your names in the papers, but you had the satisfaction · of knowing that you were the guys that made the varsity men keep on the ball to stay up there. Congratulations, fellows, for your swell season!

Now that most of the snow has gone (at least it was when I wrote this) baseball is in the air. All the big league teams have been in their training camps for· some time and the managers seem to be having a little "hold out'' trouble. Mr. Freeman has some trouble of his 9wn,-not on hold outs but lack of material of known calibre. The weak spots, as I see them, are at second, third, and on the mound. The first two prob­ably will be easily filled by com­petent rookiesr. but there i5' only one pitcher back from last year and there are only a few throw­ers. If Mr. Freeman can dig up a couple more pitchers, the I. C. nine should breeze through any sort of opposition they may face. ·

Once again, the mighty atom of the Phy. Ed. dept. crashes through. This time he's gone and organized a golf team. All you par busters see Al Formichella and sign up-Music, Drama, and Phy. Eds.-don't push, but form a line on the right. 'Let's gol

· Golf Team Primes For Intercollegiate Games

After four years of trying, Al Formichella has finally received some cooperation, and Ithaca Col­lege will have a golf team this year. Plans are almost completed for a five man team to compete in intercollegiate competition. The schedule is now being formulated for the summer session. Matches will be played after commence­ment, although a few practice matches may be played before that time, weather permitting.

. President Job, an ardent golfer himself, is quite interested in the team and has seen that the school finances it. There is an opportun­ity for the members of the Drama and Music: Departments to be on a competitive team. Since practice is an individual affair, lack of time is expected to offer no trouble.

At the present time Al has rounded up Ted Fay, Herb Pitt­man, Frank Van Nortwick, and Art Ryan. The places on the team will be open to all so anyone who considers himself a potential golf­er should see Al Formichella im­mediately.

Helen Tapley, Mory DiSarro, Howard Boone, Clem Carmody and Bob Gonyard are cast in im­portant roles. Adrienne Larsen and Marian Teter assisted Prof. Dean in the direction. The dances were arranged and directed by Elsie Hugger, physical education in­structor, and Rita Dickinson.
