You certainly rave tha play a sporting chance, young fellera, and if it succeeded (as all the boys who have classes under us tall us it did!) it was largely because you •n'ouraged the actors by your en thusiasm and your very consider ate behavior. We should like for you to know also that, without Mr. Joe Woolket, of the Department of Modern Languages, the play could not have been presented at all. Mr. Woolket gave generously of hia time, hia dramatic skill and exper ience. and hit ingenuity, to make actors out of our fanners, engi neers. and coeds. Especially do we recall one day on which he spent eight solid hours in rehearsing single scenes and the play as a whole.

About the same time of the year underclassmen become anx ious to take over the task of determining what their institu tion actually will become. Speaking for the senior class, may we appeal to the juniors to carry out their duties next year more efficiently than the class of ’84 has done? We do not say this r.s r.n npoiogy for our efforts—fig uratively speaking, we have been freshmen ourselves, as far as our experience with the new type of discipline is con cerned. Juniors will do well to profit by our blunders in not enforcing the “bull ring,” in not employing the demerit sys tem when it was needed, and in not conducting the senior court in a more efficient manner. If the seniors do not con trol disciplinein the school it is their own fault; they have innumerable ways of doing it. As to “running the school with a board.” an army officer of A And M, who is also a graduate of West Point, recently expressed his opinion of that method in a highly impressive tone: “Upperclassmen beat the tar out of a freshman one minute and then buddy up to him the next. Freshmen can hardly be expected to un derstand such a disciplinary measure.” Seniors next year, then, must cooperate in enforcing sentences on the bull-ring, and the juniors and sophomores must do their part in seeing that freshmen receive demerits for violating the college regulations—as well as for disobey ing the demands of upperclassmen. ' ♦ Marriage Study The courses in marriage offered in several colleges throughout the country have been the subject of more hu morous comment than they have of .serious thought. The general attitude seems to lie that colleges which give students a broad cultural background such as a smat tering of fiterature, the languages and science to prepare them for soipe profession have performed their ultimate function. That colleges might do more in instructing students in what makes successful marriage seems to 1*‘ overlooked. The young person today gets no advice from his parents, and if he wants information he must turn to his companions or to sex books which base their appeal On sensationalism or sala ciousness. f ] ' * Connecticutt College, one of the pioneer schools in offer ing a course in marriage, has found that its instruction has won the approval of parents and students. Dr. Dorthea H. Schoville, resident physician there, com ments as follows on the course: “We hear a great deal about the amount of knowledge young people of today have, how sophisticated they are. Actually, however, while they art frank in their discussion of all matters pertaining to mar riage. in the really essential things, especially sex relation ship, they are ignorant.” The problem of marriage, the most important of human relationships, needs to be approached with a scientific as well as emotional outlook, and such courses as that offered at Cdnnecticutt College will help to promote successful r :ar- riages. —Oklahoma Daily Student. Major Dunn was his usual ef ficient and accomodating self, and he and the Band gave us the best possible send-off. The Serenaders, whom we knew already as a good orchestra, proved themselves to be good fellows as well, and gave their time and cooperation without grumbling and without pay, though the defects of our amateur ish management made their task in the third act a» very difficult one. We are for them! The sing ers from the Glee Club, though they suffered on the first night from the same managerial defects that afflicted the Serenaders. were excellent sports about it. Their beautiful job on Friday night prov ed what they could do with proper coordination. If the preparations for their approaching trip had not prevented them from taking part in the play officially, as an organ isation, Mr. Glenn and his melod ious gang might have stolen the show! The delegation from the Tumbling Team gave just that touch,-if you know whht we mean. And the great Mike Fribble added another high spot to Act II. The work of M. D. Lovett, as sisted by R. L. Kerr, in designing -the scetoery spoke loudly and con vincingly for itself, but very few •>eople realize how much brains and labor went into that scenery from the Industrial Arts boys, led by W. 8. Glenney and J. H. Dickey. And Mr. Fleming gave up a wild weekend in Houston so that they ?ould use the shops on Saturday and Sunday. Mr*. Sherwood and Mrs. Spencer did beautiful work with the make-ups, as you all ua- douhtedly noticed. Mrs. Johnson and the Y M C A made and man aged our tickets for us. American Students Invited To Moscow New York,—The All-Union Sov iet of Students, whose headquar ters are in Moscow, today ed an official invitation to Amer ican students to attend a ■] international session of the Mos cow University Summer School, beginning July 21st. The invita tion was sent to the Institute of International Education, 2 West 46th Street, New York. The Sum mer School, under the auspices of the Anglo-American Institute of the First Moscow University, will last six weeks. Lectures and in struction will be in English, and will be given by a faculty of the foremost Soviet professors and specialists. In the United States, the ven ture is sponsored by the Institute of International Education, whose director. Dr. Stephen Duggan, is at present in Moscow to complete arrangements for sttendance by American students. The sumiper session at the Uni versity of Moscow is open to stu dents, school teachers. Or social workers; course* being offered are in Education, Economics, Psycho logy, Sociology. Aeronautics, Art and Literature, according to the director of; thh * Anglo-American Institute, L V. So]lins. The pur pose of the school is to afford vis iting students a clear conception of Soviet achievements in cultural and scientific fields since the 1917 revolution, Mr. Sollins added. Visitors trill be offered a wide program of social, cultural and sport actitities in addition to aca demic wort. Approximately four weeks of ths session will be spent ih residence at the University of Moscow, and two weeks in a 8,000 mile field work trip to other Sov- iet cities. Henry Willard, like thd tough are, while Keterson licit)' liant social assisted by Jess business matters financiers they Reid and Tony such Bryan pub- long and bril- i in that city could have made possible. We sus pect, however, t|at even their ef forts would not have been so ef fective if the Bryan Eagle were not edited by 'hat helpful friend of the College, Mrs Roundtree. The ladies of the Library staff havto been indugiensable in num berless inconspicuous but import ant-matters. Mr*. Melle William son, Mrs. Elixabdth Cook, and Mrs. R. T. Stewart, |indly contributed the typing of tlMf vitally necessary “prompters copies” of the play, which Ed Meare, John Middagh, and Jack Ferguson handled most ably. (We are glad to be able to point out, however, that, thanks to the actors, almost no prompting was necessary after all.) Finally, we rtrtst take our hats off to all the dozens of fellows who cheerfully apd efficiently put in hours of unpaid labor to make “The Aggies of 1984” a good be ginning. We eily wish we had ‘space to name them individually, for they have certainly improved our opinion of human nature in general and of Aggie nature in particular. In this place, how ever, we can only salute Fish Met calf of the Engineers for his in telligent work as Stage Manager, J Electrician, and Property Man, and thank the other engineering Fish, as well as Fish Burton and the gallant lads of Hb-Company for all their tireless hauling and lifting.
