The show will fea-ture Dr. Justus Pearson of the Eng-lish department, who will give a short reading, Dr. Lawrence Tuck-er, who will head a short vaude-ville act, Dr. Marie J. Robinson and Dr. Bunyan Andrew and group, who will do a short skit, the art professors, who will take part in a performance which they as yet re-fuse to discuss, Dr. Mario Man-cinelli and Miss Ruth Kreiger with a few musical selections, and a host of others: Unfortunately Dr. James White-hurst, our famous campus magician, will be unable to perform due to a previous engagement. Saturated with originality, shot through with energy-toasted little chunks of humor, the hour-long show at Presser Hall. tonight will, as the M.C. of the performance Professor Ed Carpenter said, "let the faculty let their hair down." The show will be put on tonight and tonight only. It is part of the Commission's efforts in gathering Wassail At Christmas The annual Christmas Dinner for those eating in the. Commons will be served Tuesday, December 18. Starting at five, hot wassail will be served in the Dug-Out. Dinner will start as usual at 5:30. The menu includes turkey with all the trimmings.

Mr. Brian will be the start of a long-lived looked at Mr. Drexler. Mr. Drexler and enjoyable tradition on the nodded. Wesleyan campus. This is to be only one of the many efforts that the Social and Welfare Commission will undertake in order to raise more- money. In recent years an annual Campus Chest Carnival has been he 1 d, which will not be held this year because of the recent decline in the support of the carnival by the student body. The carnivals usually featured booths run by the fraterni-ties, sororities, and dorms on cam-pus. A few years ago the Campus Chest was helped out in a hilarious manner by the faculty when, as a benefit show, they did a comedy take-off on the opera "Carmen," which the music department had performed in all due seriousness just one week before. Dr. Marie J. Robinson played Carmen. Mr. Fred Brian acted as one of the suitors. Dean Meierhofer appeared unabashedly in tights as a page, while Miss Marian Niehaus, not to be outdone, appeared as a member of the chorus, in bloomers and a middy blouse. It was in the last scene that the two suitors, who in the original and unrevised edition of the opera were supposed to do glorious battle with swords, calmly fought unto the very death with a pair of lethal looking squirt guns. It was here that the really ar- Calmly, Mr. Brian squirted Dr. Robinson in the face. Then, Mr. Drexler also squirted the incredu-lous Dr. Robinson in the face. Whereupon Dr. Robinson, never at a loss for a rebuttal, turned (Continued on page 3) Campus Carol Set; New Event Added Wesleyan's annual Campus Carol, sponsored by Sigma Alpha Iota and Acacia, will be held Monday, De-cember 17.

"The two groups are scheduled to meet at President Berthof's home where faculty members will be waiting. Something new has been added to this year's Campus Carol-light-ing of the tree called "Internation-al Tree of Learning" located be-tween Holmes and Duration Halls. There will also be a free-will donation, and each group repre-sented will be asked to contribute. The money collected will go to Campus Chest. At the close of the evening, the carolers will meet in the Memorial Center where groups will perform. Coffee and donuts will then be served in the Commons. Director Short Explains Program For Juniors At Spring Festival All-University Council met last Tuesday night and considered the problems involved in inviting high school juniors to attend Spring Festival. According to Mr. Lee Short, Director of Admissions, this is being considered. He asked for suggestions and expressions of ap-proval or disapproval by members of the Council. Applying Early It was brought up that students are applying to colleges earlier in the year, and most of the seniors who would be attending Spring Festival have already decided upon their choice of college. However, the problems involved in inviting an additional amount of students are large; the number of students on campus for the event would be approximately doubled if juniors were to attend. "Unwieldy Group" Don Guess commented that "This big a group would be rather un-wieldy," and maybe it would be possible to invite juniors at one time and seniors at another to solve this problem. Carol Larsen said that maybe it would be possible to concentrate mainly on juniors, since they are TO WASHINGTON . . Will Attend American Univ. During the coming spring term, John Weistart, Theta Chi from Minonk and philosophy major, has been selected as Wesleyan's Wash-ington Semester student at Ameri-can University. Students from the more than one hundred universi-ties participating in this program have an opportunity to view the workings of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the government depart-ments at first hand and to do re-search in public affairs at Wash-ington libraries and within the fed-eral agencies. Other Wesleyan students who have represented Wesleyan in re-cent years in the Washington Se-mester are Mary Katherine Humm and Carolyn Morby. According to Dr. Donald Brown, campus coordinator for the Wash-ington Semester, there may be one or two more vacancies for Wes-leyan students this year; and those interested should talk with him. Students from any department are eligible. Since the two Washington semester courses involve only six hours of political science credit, usually three courses can be taken at American University in any field. Students remain registered at Illinois Wesleyan and return here to complete their college course. the students who have not yet made up their minds about which college to attend. However, it was felt that eliminating all seniors would be a mistake. It was suggested that juniors could be on campus just during the day, and the seniors only could stay overnight. "That would be kind of cheesy," Mr. Short commented. Dean Everette Walker said that perhaps in another year seniors could come in the fall and juniors could come in the spring. "Most people gripe about one weekend." Mr. Short answered, "How would they feel about two?" Limited Number of Juniors Possibly a limited number of juniors could be invited so that they could be included in the same weekend with the seniors. If they were highly screened, in order to get "the cream of the crop," the program would be effective for a limited number of juniors and still the number of students would not be too large to be accomo-dated by the facilities on campus. Although the Admissions Office does not have a very complete list of prospective juniors, it may be possible for members of the vari-ous residence halls to submit the names of high school juniors with whom they are acquainted. President Lloyd Bertholf thanked the Council members for their com-ments and suggested that Mr. Short could consider these suggestions when planning for the next Spring Festival. All-University C o u n c i 1 meets once a month and is composed of members of the faculty and ad-ministration as well as the presi-dents of houses, dorms, honorary societies aid publications. Bookstore Gifts The bookstore now has on dis-play numerous items for last-minute Christmas gifts. The many distinctively Wesleyan items include mugs, sweatshirts for adults, sweatshirts and T-shirts for children, as well as gold-etched Wesleyan crests, paperweights, and 'wall-plaques. Paint-by-number sets at various price ranges and pen and pencil sets packaged especially for Christ-mas giving, are also available. ON THE INSIDE Art Review ..... Charles Martel...
