Neither being full-length shows, HDC President Paul Burgraff '48 plans to contrast Odets' powerful social drama with Saroyan's light comedy as an experiment in theater technique. "Waiting for Lefty" is a drama of the labor problem, while "The Ping-Pong Players" is a light one-act love scene...
Logs are rolling again in Washington as industrial and agricultural groups, together with their Congressional alter egos swathed in the philosophy of Hawley-Smoot, take pot shots at the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act in general and prospective import duty rate reductions in particular.

The pipeline between publisher and student is slowly filling but, it still does not allow for complacency from those who decide what their student's reading will be for the following term.
