Notices of approval of prelim.. inary applications for residence in Mosher-Jordan Halls are being sent out this week by the directors office. A membership committee composed of Margaret Bush, '30, outgoing president of the Women's League, Elizabeth DeVol, '30, retir- ing chairmanb of the house organ- ization committee of the League Eleanor Cooke, '31, Albertina Mas- len, '31, who will fulfill these re- spective positions next year, Miss Inez V. Bozorth, and Mrs. Mary E. Buffington, the two directors of the dormitory now on campus, has been workfing for the past two weeks on the application file numbering ap- proximately 350. Scholarship is Important. Applicants are being judged first on scholarship, women who are on probation or near the boderliine, excet thosecases which merit spe- cial consideration, are not being ac- cepted. Character and attitude are also given careful consideration, in an. effort to build up a strong or- Oahnation 'of wotien who can and will adjust themselves to the re- tunirements of the opportunities of dormitory life. The'final application cards call- ing for a choice of rooms and room- mates, are being sent out with the approval notices this week. In the early part of the summer notices will be sent to the women who are to live inthe .dormitory as to the room7s which they will occupy in the fll. 4 plications from graduate wom- ed hv ey exceqded the quota which was firs established And arrange. mentsare being made to take care of some' of these women in the un- dergraduate sections. Requests from juniors and seniors are rapidly ap- proachiing the quota set for upper- class residents. Applications Are Received. Accomodations have been re- served for 250 freshmen and enter- ing uppercass transfer students. Many applications have already been received for these spaces. Work on the dormitory is pro- gressing at, a rapid rate according to Mr. A. 0; Pehrson, consulting en- gineer for the construction firm of Pehrson Brothers, Minneapolis, Mginn. Plasterers are working on the interior of the building and expect to be ready to start on the wood- working in the near future. The construction company expects to turn the building over to the au- thorities by the first of August. During the month of August the finishing touches are to be added' preparatory to the arrival of the furniture which will be delivered the first of September. Kitchen equipment will be installed during August and the building will be ready for student occupation dur- ing Oriente-on week. This is almost the last rehearsal of "Antigone" and I am told that I may watch if I sit quietly in onej of the back rows. Robert Hender- son, the director, sits in back of me with a pencil and paper in his hand. There's a clever little searchlight attached to the paper. "We're having the dress rehear- sal tonight," he explains to me. I watch the curtains draw apart to present only a spiral staircase sil- houetted against a blue sky. A cho- rus of moving figures almost glide in. Then Antigone, raising her head defiantly, faces the king. Margar-} et Anglin as "Antigone" makes me forget her street clothes and see her instead in the robes that Soph- ocles would have had her wear. Her voice is very beautiful and very powerful.0 Antigone is condemned to death and there is suddenly a rhythmic movement of fear among the strangely pathetic figures around her. I watch a black-haired youth lead her away. "There, do you see that?" Mr. Henderson asks me. "Every one of the members of the chorus of peasants is a talented dancer. Each one must move so as to be in rhythm and to give mean- ing to the interpretation." I nod but say nothing. I am too engross- ed in the play. The entrance of the blind proph- et marks a new atmosphere. He brings understanding and beauty to the minds- of those who before had none. The depressed spirit of the chorus changes now to bacchanal- ian lightness. Yet I am somewhat perplexed. The change is a bit- "Watch this, now," the director cuts in, "The greatest moment of joy in plays of this type always precedes the moment of most horror." I sit back tensely and wait. The blue sky slowly burns into one of blood-red. Then it becomes dark- er, more threatening, and the pea- sant joy is stifled beneath the weight of sorrow as Creon is -seen bearing his dead son in his arms. He lays him wearily and sorrowful- ly on the winding steps. Rehearsal is over and the cur- tain has closed. Robert Henderson VI. Scudder gement to John H.
