"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.

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."

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.
