BUDGET FEE REDIVIDED
IN FAVOR OF “TWIG'’
At a recent meeting of the Student
Council it was- suggested that the
budget fee be redivided sp that Tiik
TwiQ would be allotted more than they
had hitherto had. The members ol
the Acorn staff agreed that they did
not need all o£ the two hundred dol
lars difference in the allotment and
decided to split this difference with
Tub Twio. TujiTwic really needed this
addition to Its capital and Is now on
an equal basis financially with The
Acorn.

We've long wondered and now we
know—what State thinks of Meredith's
Stunt Night. Johnnie Bing, In a re
cent Issue of The obligingly
tells us. His article is headed, "Scin
tillating Meredltliites Make Bing Sit
Up mul Look,”
Glittering, lights, inllllnft'. throngs,
unintelligible convQiaHtion from a
liundrecl little groups rose into the air
like the hum o£ a huge beehive in
action as Meredith’s 1036 "Stunt
Night” began.
Smartly groomed men about town,
beautiful and gorgeously gowned wo
men, arm in arm, strolled beneath the
hard'scintillating lire of stars, chilled
by an antiimn night, into the vast the-
atro. Inside there was a maze of
lights, a sea of color as each maiden
tried to outdo h^r slaters in the man
ner of dreas, while the faint and far
away bustle l)ack8tnge could bo heard.
The mingled sccnt of masculine after
shave lotion and subtle in-ovocatlon
of Evening In Paris, together with the
newness of stage settings and that
odor peculiar to the theatre, assailed
one’s nostrils.
Verily, a veritable sea of heads
waved gently from first row to . rear
row; brunettes, brownettes, blondes,
and redheads; inarceled, finger-waved,
bobbed; pompadoured, parted, and
even combed straight up. Heads with
oil on them, water on them, nothing
on them: red ribbons, green ribbons,
blade ribbons, typewriter ribbona(?);
silver stars; silver bows, tiaras.
A First Night! A night when all
the elite(?) gather to see and be seen;
to form a critical audience before
which the "Thespians” Ijravely per
form with sinking hearts, I have been
led to believe that the majority of
“first nighters’’ attend with a critical
attitude. 1 went open to suggestion
any suggeBtion by anybody. At any
rate, the full force of sucii feminine
pulchritude Instantly relieved me of
any misgivings I might have had.
Whotlier these “stuuta" were any good
or not, I had already been well paid
for my time.
Eight o’clock, and the curtain rose
{or parted) to reveal the first stunt.
Bedad, and It was no stnnt! It was
a comedy-i'omance that the Theater
Guild would have been well proud of.
I must admit that I straightened up a
bit. (That was entirely due to sur
prise. I ordinarily sit on the third
vertebra from the lop of the column,
no matter what is going on.)
The seniors having made their con
tribution, the juniors offered a fan
tasy in a doll shop, the sophomores,
a murder-mystery, and the freshmen
a melodramatlcal take-off ou the Bard
of Avon entitled, “Mack Betty." Space
here does not permit me to say all
MEREDITH-PEACE
TIE ON COURTS
I would like to about “Stunt Night”
at Meredith College. Take it from
me, though, the name Is a misnomer.
These weren't atuhta, they were the
atrical productions well out of .the
amateur clasK.
I can’t he too loud in my praise of
these young ladies, who demonslraled
that they can be original and clover
as they'can be benutifni. Originality
of theme, dialogue, stage settings,
sound cftects, and production very
definitely put them in a class with
Broadway and Hollywood, so far as
I’m ooneevned. The response of tlie
audience was a just reward for all
the weai’y hours they must have spent
on the project since the beginning of
the school year. IE I had a hat, I
would take it off to them, and if able,
would shower them with orchids. I’m
sorry that I can’t.
P.S. — The seniors won the prize,
of course. (I'll, expect a bodyguard
of youse gals to protect me from the
juniors, sophs, and frosh.)
Countess Tolstoy Delivers
First of Lecture Series
(Continued from page one)
had more importance than ever, for
the governor of the provisional ad
ministration welcomed their aid. They
Issued magazines, fed the Polacks, and
were carried away by National feel
ing. Very soon, however, lamented
Countess Tolstoy, the main idea of
the movement—the conquest of capi
talists—degenerated, After the Bol
shevist Revolution, a new principle
was introduced in the Cooperatives.
Political distinctions appeared, and the
societies became a tool of communistic
propaganda.
The speaker concluded her lecture
by afiserting her confidence in the co
operative movement divested of these
unfortunate innovations. Commenting
at the request of the audience on the
eaction of the peasants to the present
regime, she declared, 'The peasants
favor it less than the workers, for It
takes their breal away from them.’'
When questioned upon her preference
for Russia, Germany, or Italy she em
ployed a clever reply, "I think they
are both worse.”
