Student Acting Talent
For Spring Weekend
By MARY HELLTHALER
Drama! Satire! Comedy!
Skit Night will provide such en-
tertainment when 10 men and
women residences combine forces
to present five skits as part of
Spring Weekend at 8 p.m. Friday,
March 11.
Chicago House and Adams
House will perform in "The Man
Who Came to Michigan," a satire
on University life. The main plot
is concerned with a distinguished
visitor who breaks his leg on the
stairs of the Romance Building
and is taken to West Quadrangle
to recover.
Actors Raise Havoc
The visitor, played by Donald
McLennan and his secretary,
played by Joanna Zaparyniuk,
raise havoc among certain mem-
bers of the campus.
Others in the cast include. Dr.
Race from Health Service, Robert
Bredin and Ronnie Kopelson. Rob-
ert Segar is the author-producer,
Myra Golden is general chairman
and Dale Price is the director.
"The Lottery," by Shirley Jack-
son, is to be presented by Alpha
Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon. This
skit portrays American tradition
and how unwillingly people are to
change it.
Lots Drawn
Narrated by George Bashara
with, a chorus humming back-
ground music, the scene is set in
New England at the turn of the
century. The story in pantomime
is centered around an annual tra-
dition of everyone drawing at a
lottery and the sinister signifi-
cance of coming up with the black
dot.
The only speaking part is that
performed by Nancy Birney. Co-
directors for the production are
Carol Kauffman and Dick Fiegel.
A portrayal of juvenile delin-
quency in the United States will
be given by Alpha Delta Pi and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon entitled,
"Dust of Tin, Soldiers."
Juvenile Characters Studied
This character study of a young
delinquent, Howie McGraw, played
by Ronald Poland, takes place in
a drive-in theater. His determina-
tion to "show the world" involves
the lives of his mother, as played
by Erika Erskine and two wait-
resses at the drive-in, Darlene.
Martinson and Donna Winstead.
Rosemary Saffrom and William
Elliott are the co-producers.
Hobbs House and Phi Gamma
Delta will present "The Congo,"
a poem by Vachel Lindsay, in
pantomime with narration by a
chorus.
Divided in Parts
Divided into three parts, it
shows basic savagery, irrepressible
high spirits and the hope of reli-
gion, in a modernistic presenta-
tion.
Co-producers are Susan Arnold
and Jim Deland, while Henrietta
Hermelin is the director.
A take-off on the panel program
"What's My Line," will be given
by Alpha Gamma Delta and Theta
Xi entitled, "Nine To Five."
Coeds Rehearse 'Cock-a-Hoop'
CROWNING PERFORMANCE-Etta Lubke, managing editor of
the 1955 Ensian, gracefully accepts her crowning as "Queen of
the Kitchen" in the Gamma Phi Beta house. Paul Domine, pan-
scrubber in the kitchen, awards her the grand prize, a pot with a
red bow on it, to be worn as a hat. Ted Spoelstra, dishwasher,
peeks around Miss Lubke while Jim Deland, salad-mixer, also
looks on.

Hoop," this year's JGP, Jeanne Hager, Jaist Kahlenberg and
Barbara Reed strike a happy pose, towering over Emily Harding
and Gail Glover. JGP will be presented at 8 a.m. Thursday through

By DEDE ROBERTSON
An annual event in the Gamma
Phi Beta house, greatly anticipat-
ed by the hardworking kitchen
crew, is the "waiter's dinner,"
sometimes called the "change-
about dinner."
High point of the evening comes
with the crowning of the kitchen
queen. Etta Lubke, managing edi-
tor of the Ensian, recently copped
this coveted title which is awarded
by the kitchen crew.
Qualifications which Miss Lubke
had to pass were that she must
never come to lunch past 12:15
p.m., she must never put gum on
her coffee saucer or tray and she
must clean her plate at every meal.
Requirements Observed
Other requirements of the hon-
ored person are that she must
never leave her foot in the aisle
to trip unsuspecting waiters, she
must always remember to sign
guests in for meals and may nev-
er eat more than one dessert.
During this spectacle called a
"waiter's dinner," coeds don wait-
er jackets and aprons to take over
the jobs of the kitchen crew. The
"bus boys" also switch and eat in
the dining room with the rest of
the coeds.
The eight jobs filled are: three
waiters, two dishwashers, 'one sal-
ad maker, one pan washer and a
"cleaner-upper."
Gifts eceived
Since the event usually takes
place just before Christmas, gifts
are bought for everyone working
in the kitchen. In previous years
plaid belts and stocking hats knit-
ted by the coeds were bestowed up-
on the "lucky" kitchen chew.
After dinner, the men must read
aloud poems written to them by
the house members. This presen-
tation often reveals little-known
facts about kitchen crew members
which even they may not have
known.
Melodies Resound
Jim Deland, salad mixer and
Dave Smith, general "cleaner-up-
per," presented their renditions of
Hawaiian melodies accompanying
themselves with ukuleles.
Working in the kitchen for the
past semester have been Schar-
mack,Spoelstra, Deland, Smith,
Paul Domine, pan scrubber; and
waiters Jim Knowles, Jim Beatty
and Cliff Michael.
Many, many hours later when
the kitchen is left "spic and span"
by the inexperienced crew, sighs of
relief from potscrubbing coeds can
be heard. Their last remark is
invariably: "I'm certainly glad this
doesn't happen more than once a
year."
tions are under the direction of
Judy Tatham and Elizabeth Gar-
land.
Chairman Assists
General chairman of the pro-
duction, Alice James also helps
out with rehearsals wherever she
is needed.
Based on the "show within a
show" scheme, "Cock - a - Hoop"
deals with the adventures of 14
girls who decide to present a show.
The finale of their production
makes up the entire last act of
this year's JGP.
Entirely written and produced
by junior coeds, the colorful per-
formance will include a number of
different costumes and a series of
gay songs and dances.
Opens Before Seniors
The opening performance will
be presented before an audience
of senior women, as part of Sen-
ior Night activities.
All-campus performances will
be given at 8 p.m. Friday and Sat-
urday, March 18 and 19, with a
special matinee for sophomore co-
eds planned for 2:30 p.m. Satur-
day.
Tickets, which go on sale be-
ginning Monday, are priced at 90
cents per person. All seats are re-
served. Sophomore women at-
tending the matinee performance
will be admitted for 60 cents.
