has worked in hematology and al
lergy labs at Duke for the past
two summers. Ella enjoys working
in the hospital and with the pat
ients. She says that the major
change in schedule of the girls will
be that they will start work at 7
a.m. and work until five. They will
be working in the labs in the hos
pital and will have only two lec
tures a week. Ella’s main pastimes
are knitting and cooking which will
be beneficial to her and her future
roommate, Ann P. Austin, in their
Twin Castle apartment.
Hailing from Chattanooga, Ten
nessee, is Ann Austin, who feels
that her career of medical tech
nology is not only satisfying but
profitable as well. Ann has worked
as a camp counselor for two sum
mers, as a secretary for one sum
mer, and in a hospital another sum
mer as well as attending summer
school another. She hopes to work
somewhere in the mid-west after
graduation in 1964. Knitting and
pinpointing are among Ann’s favor
ite pastimes. She, too, is awaiting
the time when she will be com
pletely on her own and will be
working in a hospital with her own
apartment.

Two Wake Forest Actors
Expect 'Fantastic Kick’
by Bonnie Hauch
Two Wake Forest students, Bob
English and Les Snyder, have male
roles in the new Pierrettes produc
tion, Electra. The boys heard about
the play while they were “hanging
around the Tavern on the Green.”
Someone suggested that Les, who
is half-Greek, try out for a part,
and Les said, “Okay!” Bob thought
that he might try out, too, “just
for kicks.”
Bob and Les were both impressed
by Salem’s drama director. Miss
Barbara Battle. Said Les, “Though
we’ve only had one rehearsal, Miss
Battle appears to be very good.”
Bob added, “She certainly knows
what she’s doing.” Both were
slightly apprehensive, though—Les,
because of the adjustments one has
to make in working under any
director; Bob, because, “She scares
me!” Neither is too sure about
working with and around such
an overwhelming majority of girls,
either.
Bob, a history major from Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, has never ap
peared in a play. He’s had some
stage experience singing with a
quartet in Pittsburgh, however. He
and Les, both Lambda Chi’s, have
also worked up a few comedy rout
ines, based on a “Jonathan Win
ters type structure,” which they
give at fraternity parties and pri
vate gatherings. Says Les, “It’s
another kick we’re on.”
Les has appeared in some high
school plays, as well as in some
productions given by the Arts in
Louisville House in his hometown
of Louisville, Kentucky. He also
played in Robinhood at the Child
ren’s Art Theater. Since coming
to Wake, Les says that his time
has been taken up by football and
his pre-med studies. He has not
lost his interest in the theater,
however. Les sees himself in the
role of a villian—he originally tried
out for the part of Aegisthos, a
“bad-man” in Electra, but was
finally cast as Orestes. Bob has
the non-speaking role of Phylades,
in which he “just kinda hangs
around carrying an urn.”
Both Bob and Les seem to be
taking their parts seriously, as evi
denced by the beards they have
grown in order to look like “au
thentic Greeks.” Bob summed up
their feelings about appearing in
the Salem production by saying,
“It’s sorta weird—but it’s a fan
tastic new kick!”

HAIL TO THE DEAN!
Today let us examine that much maligned, widely misunder
stood, grossly overworked, wholly dedicated campus figure —
the dean.
The dean (from the Latin Deanere—to expel) is not, as many
think, primarily a disciplinary officer. He is a counselor and
guide, a haven and refuge for the troubled student. The dean
(from the Greek Deanos—to skewer) is characterized chiefly by
sympathy, wisdom, patience, forbearance, and a fondness for
homely pleasures like community singing, farina, spelldowns,
and Marlboro Cigarettes. The dean (from the German Dcange-
macht—to poop a party) is fond of Marlboros for the same
reason that all men of good will are fond of Marlboros—because
Marlboro is an honest cigarette. Those good Marlboro tobaccos
are honestly good, honestly aged to the peak of perfection, hon
estly blended for the best of all possible flavors. Marlboro
honestly comes in two different containers—a soft pack which
is honestly soft and a Flip-Top box which honestly flips. You
too will flip when next you try an honest Marlboro, which, one
honestly hopes, will be soon.
'iiere wt 3 iry eye in yetdli
But 1 digress. We were learning how a dean helps poor,
troubled undergraduates. To illustrate, let us take a typical
case from the files of Dean S of the University of Y
(Oh, why be so mysterious? The dean’s name is Sigafoos and
the University is Yutah.)
Wise, kindly Dean Sigafoos was visited one day by a fresh
man named Walter Aguincourt who came to ask permission to
marry one Emma Blenheim, his dormitory laundress. To the
dean the marriage seemed ill-advised, for Walter was only 18
years old and Emma was 91. Walter agreed with the dean, but
said he felt obligated to go through with it because Emma had
.• invested her life savings in a transparent rainhood to protect
her from the mist at Niagara Falls, where they planned to spend
their honeymoon. If Walter called off the wedding, what use
would the poor woman possibly have for a rainhood in Yutah?
The wise, kindly dean pondered briefly and came up with a
brilliant answer: let Walter punch holes in the back of Emma’s
steam iron. With steam billowing back at the old lady, she
would find a rainhood very useful—possibly even essential.
Wliimpering with gratitude, Walter kissed the dean’s Phi
Beta Kappa key and hastened away to follow his advice—and
the results, I am pleased to report, were madly successful 1
Today Emma is a happy woman—singing lustily, wearing
her rainhood, eating soft-center chocolates, and ironing clothes
—twice as happy, to be candid, than if she had married Walter
. . . And what of Walter? He is happy too. Freed from his un
wanted liaison with Emma, he married a girl much nearer his
own age—Agnes Yucca, 72. Walter is now the proud father—
stepfather, to be perfectly accurate—of three fine, healthy
boys from Agnes’s first marriage—Everett, 38; Wilhelm, 43;
and Irving, 55—and when Walter puts the boys on a lead and
takes them for a stroll in the park on Sunday afternoon, you
may be sure there is not a dry eye in Yutah.
And Dean Sigafoos? He too is happy—happy to spend long,
tiring hours in his little office, giving counsel without stint and
without complaint, doing his bit to set the young, uncertain
feet of his charges on the path to a brighter tomorrow.
