A condition has existed in this school that is completely out of keeping with the traditions and attitudes of the college and the student body. Various complaints have been registered with the student council and the president of the College, Dr. Gordon Keith Chambers, has stated, “This matter bothers me very much.’ Should this condition continue, as much as the Collegian regrets, it will have to ask the student council to take action.

The Dramatic Club is made up of students, and it is for that reason that the female parts will be handled by others than Club members, the student body at Kenyon being male. The play will be presented on the evenings of Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Speech Building. Tickets will be placed on sale and if anyone plans to attend he is reminded to buy one. The play will be one of several presented by the Dramatic Club. TWO DANCES FOR DANCE WEEK-END Kenyon College will have one of its bi-annual Dance Week-ends this next weekend. As usual it will consist of two dances, one formal on Friday night and another informal on Saturday night. There will be an orchestra at each of the dances. The various fraternities are going to have parties in their own divisions prior to the dances. Many students will come to these parties and bring their dates. Since parties in the divisions require the presence of older married people as chaperones, the fraternities are al-ready contacting faculty members to come to their BOOK STORE HAS SALE A special sale of books will be placed on sale in the Book Store in Gambire.
