CELLAR PRODUCTION omeo-Juliet Mere Feb. 22-27 By RUTH WHEELER "Romeo and Juliet" will be presented by the Cellar Theater during the week of Feb. 22-27.

Capulet throws a big brawl, inviting everyone but theMontagues. Sez Who! Should Girls Take Initiative on Dates By NANCY SANDERS The question asked around the campus this week was: "What is your opinion of the Preference Bruce Erickson "I think a Preference Ball is a real crazy idea. I am in favor nf it I'r vv' once in a while. "' I No specific rea- k (J son for mv opin- --7 ion. I just think jV a . the girls put on a Ntl good bash (I 'S mean dance). It gives me ooys someideaof what the girls like." Nancy Frasier "Yes, I think it is a neat idea. It is a good way for the girls to get to go with someone different for a change. If there is a boy that a girl wants to go with, then this is a good chance for that girl to let the boy know she wants to go with him." Ann Knight "Oh geeks! I can't tell you what I think, be- fi 1 Ball? Do you think it is a good idea?" The answers seem to be unanimously in favor of a Preference Ball. cause I don t dare! Off the record, though, I think it is really a neat idea because you can go with someone you don't know, but want to go with. It is terrific for girls, anyway. I don't know how it is for boys." Joyce Peterson "Ummmm, yes, it is a good idea. It is different, if nothing else. I think it is a good r. idea because it gives some of the kids who haven't had a chance to go with some of the boys a good opportunity to ask them out. Besides, it is always the girl who has to sit home and wait for the boy, and this gives a good chance to even the score, so to speak. r Romeo, a Montague, thinks it is the end, as an old flame of his is going to attend. He puts on a mask and crashes the party. He falls for Juliet, the heiress of the Capulets. Learning this he flips for he'd rather be caught dead than fall for a Capulet. Act II Juliet also finds that Romeo is a Montague and she flips, too. But being in a romantic mood, she goes out to the balcony and spills her love for Romeo td the moon. Romeo is lounging around outside and tells Juliet he was listening and he loves her, too. Juliet is no dumb doll, so she proposes they marry the next day when they have time, and Romeo says "Ockle Dockle." Act III The next day Friar Laurence marries the lovers, and on their way home, run into Tybault, a Capulet, who is wise to Romeo. He digs for a little skirmish, but Romeo says "nix." A pal of Romeo's tries to defend him but gets bumped off in the process. Romeo can't stand the sight of his pal's blood, so he fills Tybalt full of holes. The Prince of Verona finds out about the ruckus and puts the heat on "Romeo boy." Being a cool character at heart "Romeo" leaves the country. Meanwhile, poor Julie is having a rough time with her father, as he thinks she ought to be hitched, and not knowing she already is, he tries to make a bigamist out of her. Julie trots over and gets the word from Friar Laurence as he is responsible for her mess anyway. He fixes her some special joy juice which makes her look like she's had it. This puts her out of circulation as no one wants to marry a corpse. AWS Primed to Choose Most Preferred Man "Who will be the most preferred man tonight?" is the question on every girl's mind and the light in every boy's eye. The annual Preference Ball, sponsored by the Associated Woman Students, will carry out the theme "Some Enchanted Evening.' The ladies' lounge has been the scene of much excitement as the girls anxiously put the names of their "most preferred man" in the box. After the preferences were in. the A.W.S. took over and mailed invitations to the unsuspecting males. Preferred Man Crowned "most preferred man" tonight will be the fellow around the campus who receives the most preferences, but he will escort the girl who put her preference in the earliest. The "preferred man" will receive a golden loving cup and a certain something from the A. W. S. president, Noma Allen. After he is chosen, the Voce-coeds will sing a tribute to the lucky man.
