It'isn't just the obvious things
that go to make up the Theatre Arts
production of "Rip Van Winkle,"
opening today at the Lydia Mendels-
sohn Theatre. It isn't just little items
like a well-loved story about a man
who slept for twenty years, or the
trained actors who portray charac-
ters in the play, or even the children
about whom the action is centered.
There are other things that go to
make up this completed children's
play-intangibles that will delight
and hold rapt a young audience con-
ditioned in the blistering action-full
school of Western movies. In short,
things like portraits that move and
smile-or hand-woven cobwebs to
give a helping hand to the illusion of
a passing twenty years-or even the
brilliant, colorful costumes of Knick-
erbocker days, with which the scenes
are filled.
Marjorie Storkan, '43, junior chair-
man of Theatre Arts, explained to us
about the portrait. It's one of those
acting jobs which only an unsung

hero would take over. He stands be-
hind a frame and a piece of cheese-
cloth and does his best to look inani-
mate; the whole thing sounds as
though he would have to be minus
reflexes.
"The cobwebs are a wonderful idea,
too," Marge went on. "They get the
atmosphere of the passing twenty
years just perfectly." Her face took
on a rather desperate look, however,
as she said, "Of course, so far, no
one knows how to make them, and
kersonally, I'm too busy to spin 'em,
but we'll get them somehow.- They
will, too; Theatre Arts always does."
Nothing, in fact, is overlooked in
this issue of the Children's Theatre.
Even the dog part is being entrusted
to no ordinary animal, but has been
turned over to a speech professor's
dog-which ought to make his bark
-unusually resonant.

Hallowe'en Parties
Scheduled Today
By Many Groups
How can you tell a good party from
an otherwise? One way is by looking
into the history of past parties and
we find the signs all pointing to six
real hits for tonight.

Conkey and Mr. and Mrs. Robert

members and their guests. The party
is from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight in

Panhellenic'
Banquet Marked
By Tradition
By JEANNE CORDELL
Panhellenic Banquet-that's a fa-
miliar phrase to all of you present
University women, isn't it? It's also
familiar to many women before you,
because this year will mark the sev-
enteenth banquet to be held since
its organization in 1925.
In the January 8th issue of the
Daily in that year, there was an ar-
ticle announcing that the first Pan-
hellenichBanquet would be held that
day in the dining room of the Union.
To quote that same article, "the pur-
pose of the affair, which is a social
innovation this year, is primarily to
explain the real meaning of Pan-
hellenic Association to the women
and to emphasize the need for or-
ganized effort and interest."
First Attempt Small
Although this first attempt did not
immediately result in the affair we
know today, it has grown in impor-
tance until, with Panhellenic Ball, it
is now one of the biggest events of
the year on the sorority woman's cal-
endar. This first banquet was at-
tended by 600 sorority women, com-
prising the entire chapter roles of all
the houses, and the program consis-
ted of speeches made by the dean of'
women, the president and vice-pres-
ident of the League.
The purpose of the event has re-
mained initially the same, although
the central idea of the 1941 banquet
will stress the improvement of schol-
arship and activity participation, l
rather than solely the matter of co-
operation amcng the houses, as has
been the main theme in years gone
ty.
Panhellenic Elections
Although the election of commit-
teemen for the banquet has always
been from members of Panhellenic, in
1939, the present system of inter-
viewing and petitioning for positions,
was introduced. Also, heretofore,
speakers at the affair have usually
been from off-campus, while this
year the main speaker of the evening
will be a well-known personage con-
nected with the University.
Virginia Morse, '43, is general
chairman in charge of the banquet,
which will be held Nov. 3. Assisting
her are Nancy Griffin, '44, tickets;
Betty Erdmann, '43, programs; Mar-
garet Davidson, '43A, assistant pro-
grams; Joy Louise Wright, '43, music;
Barbara McLaughlin, "43, decora-
tions; Jane Gilbreth, '44, decorations
assistant, and Ruth Wood, '43, menu.

Union To Have
Novel Theme
At Engine Ball
Over Three-Hundred Couples
Will Attend Function To Dance
To Rhythms Of Boyd Raeburn
Three hundred twenty-five couples,
an airplane and a Bessemer converter
will take part in the annual Engineer-
ing Ball to be sponsored by the En-
gineering Council Friday, Nov. 7, in
the Union Ballroom.
At least that's the report of the
decorations committee, which claims
that decorations will consist of a
Working model of a converter-com-
plete with sparks and everything-
at one end of the floor and an airplane
in full flight at the other.
Facsimiles Used
Sparks, converter and airplane will,
of course, be only reasonably accur-
ate facsimiles thereof, but the com-
mittee insists that even the pseudo-
sparks will be so realistic that they'll
feel hot, and that the airplane will
keep dancing couples ducking to keep
from being hit by its low-swinging
wings.
Other decorations for the Ball, tick-
ets for which may be obtained from
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. today over the En-
gineering Arch, will consist of a series
of eight pictures on the Ballroom
wall panels, depicting different en-
gineering feats and operations.
Boyd Raeburn To Play
Music for the evening will be sup-
plied by Boyd Raeburn and his or-
chestra, only recently contracted to
play at Chicago's Chez Paree for the
Christmas holidays this year. The
band will come here direct from a
current, engagement in San Antonio,
Tex.
Serving on the decorations com-
mittee are Arthur Dobson, '42E, John
J. Casey, '42E, and Cornelius Skutt,
'42E.
General chairman of the ball this
year is Robert L. Collins, '42E. Other
senior engineers acting as com-
mittee chairmen are Verne Ken-
nedy, Robert Radkey, Bob Imboden,
John Burnham, Robert Summerhays,
George Gotschall, Carl Rohrback,
Alex Wilkie, Norman Taylor and Jos-
eph Hallissy.
Silver foxes are raised by about
1,000 farmers in the Province of On-
tario, Canada, the Department of
Commerce reported.
