Postponement From
Last Week
NO CHANGES
Program Will Be Carried Out
With Same Theme, Plans
As Set
Undaunted by circumstances
which caused postponement of the
Twelfth Night Revels, the Arizona
Playmakers will present this an­nual
social affair Friday night,
January 16, in Ashurst auditorium
at 8i30 o’clock.
As previously announced, an
Egyptian theme has been chosen
as a background fo r this night of
revelry. The King Tuts and Phar-oes
with their queens and ladies
will dance of the music of “ Khufu”
Williams and his Melodious Mum­mies.
> AH in attendance will be re­quired
to hide their identity with
costume and mask. At the stroke
of midnight the revelation will
take place and the royalty of old
Egypt will once again be the Tom,
Dick and Mary of A. S. T. C. to
bring the dance to a close at one
o’clock when all good collegians
and Egyptians shall return to their
habitats thrilled to the last thrill
with the knowledge that Twelfth
Nigfht Revels had again reached
the heights in social entertain­ment.
A king.and queen will be elected
for the occasion. Disregarding: the
customary method of election by
popular student vote at an assem­bly
this year Jthe king and queen,
who are both to be members of the
faculty, will be chosen by vote at
the dance.
Marion McGuire has been ap­pointed
to conduct the election.
Dick Anderson, chairman of the
dance, and his coworkers are still
busily transforming the auditor­ium
into the proper setting.
Class In Organ To
Be Added Cirricula
The college music department
will add a class in organ to its
curricula, due to the many requests
for a class of that type following
the organ concert given in Ashurst
auditorium recently by Dr. Nield,
representative of the Hammond
Organ company.
“ Because of its low price," stat­ed
Dr. Ardrey, “ and its flexibility
in duplicating the pipe organ, the
Hammond organ is without doubt
the instrument of the future. The
price is low enough and the instru­ment
is small enough to be used
for home use, yet it has power
enough for use in a large cathe­dral.”
If possible, a graduate in pipe
organ will be obtained to teach
the class which ,it is expected, will
be started on February 1. If the
pipe organ graduate is obtained,
Flagstaff will be the only school
in the state having a graduate or­ganist
teaching the class.

Club Will Take In
Members Thursday
After finishing plans for the
initiation of new members, the In­dustrial
Arts club will hold a meet­ing
next Thursday night in the In­dustrial
Arts shop for the initia­tion
of the pledges. Mr. Bjerg
and Mr. Osborn will act as spon­sors.
Henry Cade and Tony Ljubicich,
at the head of the committee ap­pointed
for the initiation, have
been quoted as saying, “ It’ll be
tough, but the pledges need rot
wear two pairs of pants, as there
will be no paddling except for the
smarties.”
Any major or minor in Indus­trial
Arts is eligible to join the
club. The group is larger this
year than in former years.

present the club has five sleds and
two pairs of skiis on hand. A to­boggan
is being rented for the
festival.
WHERE’S THE BASKET?
That big red apple sometimes
found in its parking space on the
center of teacher’s desk took the
form of a bottle of Hiram Wal­ker—
a quart at that, on the desk
of Instructor Mulloy at Creighton
university.
It was presented to him by the
class after the completion of one
of his “ gigantic assignments” In
the hope that it would acquaint
him with that muggy feeling that
comes after too long a session
with pages and pages of fine print
Mulloy on impulse, tossed the
bottle into the wastebasket, say­ing;

believe crime and alcohol are a r~
Playmakers Next
Production “Bury
The Dead” Started
La Verne Shaw Story Is War
Drama; Cast Of Forty
Characters
The Playmakers^ will start
hearsals this we?k on their next
play entitled “ Bury the Dead-”
This gripping and stirring play by
La Verne Shaw is one of the most
forceful war dramas ever written
and the Playmakers are extremely
fortunate to be able to put on this
play, as it has only been out about
six months and this college is one
of the first colleges to present it
The cast for the play will con­sist
of about 40 characters which
have not been selected yet. This
play is entirely new in presenta­tion
and is unique In the fact that
the setting is of minor importance
while the lights and characters
make the play. There will be no]
tom tng between acts as the cur­tains
will open only once and the
scenes will change by means of
lights. It is scheduled for,produc-tion
they latter part of February,
the exact date to be decided upon
later.
This play is something differ­ent
from anything ever before put
on at this college and a very ex­cellent
and worthwhile production
is promised to all who attend.

Americans In Rut
With Leisure Time
Is Claim Of Prof
Evanston, 111. (A C P )— Do you
spend most of your leisure time in
listening to the radio, reading
newspapers, attending movies, and
playing bridge? If so, you have
fallen into the typical American
rut of leisure time activity.
This conclusion was reached by
Dr. Paul A. Witty, professor of
education at Northwestern Uni­versity,
as the result of an eight
year survey.
These four activities, along with
motoring and attending parties,
are the favorite pastimes of adult
America.
Children, says Dr. Witty, spend
far more time participating in ac­tive
games than adults. The
amount of time devoted to sports
diminishes speedily as the child
grows older.
NOTICE
There will be an important
meeting of Pi Kappa Epsilon at
7 p. m. next Thursday in the mu-sic

Mars Hill To Be Site
Of First All College
Snow Frolic Of Year
Hikers Call Off
Snow Outing; Too
Much Snow At Hill
Due to heavy snows the Hiking
club postponed their snow party
planned for Saturday. Although
snow is the essential part o f an
outing o f this sort it snowed so
deep that without two or three
nights of low temperature it would
be too soft. Another reason for
the postponement was that the
fiarty was to be held at the ski
jump and the road is blocked to
there.
Some of the members of the
Hiking club, when news of the
calling o ff of the regular party
came, formed parties of their own
and began working on a toboggan
slide on nearby Mars hill.
As soon as the road is cleared
and the snow is frozen hard
enough at the ski jump the party
will be held as planned. On inter­viewing
several members o f the
club the date set for it will prob­ably
be next Saturday.

“OPphearnat”o mO Offfe rTehde Tomorrow .N ig h t
Tomorrow night in Ashurst
auditorium will be shown one-of
the most famous pictures of
former years, Lon Chaney in
“ The Phantom of the Opera.”
In this picture, Mr. Chaney,
whos^ position in the film
as the master of make-up has
never been filled since his death
several years ago, plays the
part of a fiend who inhabits
the subtorrMMtati vaults under
the Paris Opera house. When
this picture was first produced,
it played as a road- show at­traction
at advanced prices.
This feature will be preceded
by a short subject. The shqw
starts promptly at 7 p. m., and
the price, as usual, is 10 cents.
ASSEMBLY IS
FEATURED BY
ASTC ALUMNI
Mr. And Mrs. McFate Feted,
Student Talent Added r
To Bill
The first assembly of the new
year was opened last Wednesday
with a program in charge of Mrs.
Catherine Beckwith, head resident
of Campbell hall, girls’ dormitory.
Owing to Mrs. Beckwith’s illness,
Mr. Deaver took charge of the
announcing.
First number on the program
was a violin solo by Miss Levinia
Righy, accompanied by her sis­ter,
Miss Mary L. Rigby, at the
piaho. These two students have
generously given of their talents
at other recent assemblies and are
enthusiastically received by the
Student body?
Mrs. Yale McFate, nee Helen
Copeland, an alumni of A. S. T. C.,
again gave the students a rare
treat when she sang in her usual
gracious manner two numbers, “ I
Hear You Calling Me," and “ You
In Your Gondola.” She is pos­sessed
of a voice of exceptional
quality. “ It is lovely,” comment­ed
Mr. Deaver. She was accom­panied
by Miss Jeanne Larson.
Yale McFate, also an alumnus
of A. S. T. C., gave a talk on
“ Some- Unusual Legal Cases in
Law.” “ Stay on your own side
of the fence if you would keep
out of neighbor controversies and
legal complications resulting there
from,” he cautioned. “ Sentimen­tality
for a 14 year old horse, blind
in one eye, and ‘skin you wouldn’t
love to touch,’ is not compensatory
to the owner in the case of the
death of said horse by officers of
the law for board bill o f said
horse during its sojourn in city
pound for alleged depredations to
shrubbery and flower gardens of
the citizenry.”
Debate Called Off;
Date To Be Set Soon
The debate which was to be held
Thursday night, January 7, 1937,
was postponed due to heavy snow
and the epidemic of colds.
The affirmative of the question
“ Resolved, that Congress should be
empowered to fix maximum hours
and minimum wages in industry,”
will be taken by Alfred Smith and
Edward Engelbrecht, negative by
Florence Duggan and Bruce Gour-ley.
T
he debate will be held at a fu­ture
date to be announced soon.
Enter an act in the Pi Kap
Vaudeville.
Student Council Will Provide
Eats And Entertainment
For Affair
F IX S l T l D E S
Ski Tracks, Sled Runs And Ice
Skating Facilities Are
Probable
Plans for a winter sports carni­val
to be held on Mars Hill next
Sunday afternoon were drawn at
a meeting jof the Student Council
held in student body office o f th«
main building last night. The par­ty
Is to be an all»college affair,
open to students only.
According to present plans, the
students will leave the campus at
2:30 in the afternoon and start the
sports on Mars Hill on arrival.
John Ricca, Student President, in
a statement last night, said, “ If
possible, we will have horse drawn
sleighs transport the students to
and from the college, the sleighs
will also be used for the enter­tainment
of students who do not
wish to take part in the regular
sports.”
At the same meeting. Henry
Cordes and the male members of
the Hiking club were named as a
committee to build sled and ski
tracks for the use o f the students.
They will start work Saturday on
the runs which should be complet­ed
in time for the event.
It was also decided „tp serve hot
drinks and refreshments to the
students in the evening. For the
comfort of the participants, fires
will be built near the hill. John
White was appointed to take care
of the refreshments.
If plans for the construction of
an ice rink on the campus go
through, skating may be enjoyed
in the morning. However, It is
doubtful if such plans can be car­ried
through.
In order that there be equip­ment
for all, Ricca is urging all
students, campus or uptown, to
gather all winter sports equipment
they can find.
The event, talked about for a
number of years, but made impos­sible
by the lack of snow, was
made possible through the eifforts
o f Ricca and Bill Manes, social
manager. If the party planned for
Sunday is a success, it is probable
that many more of a similar na­ture
will be held during the win­ter.
