THE STUDENT B O D Y - A n Explanation
This morning lite STATU COM.an; NKWF inaugurates a new* policy. Because
it believes in keeping pace with (he limes, 'he entire editorial board in meeting
Wednesday nighl voted tins drastic reduction in the size of the NKWS.
For two years, the NKWS has felt flics ill effects of the depression years. The
1932*33 hoard mel the issue by omitting editions at sundry intervals and publishing NKWS bulletins when no regular edition appeared. This policy was continued by "in- predecessors in the hope that a new year would bring increased
payments of the f'cr capita tax with the promised return to normalcy.
It is our opinion that Ihe omission of issues of the XKWS defeats Ihe purpose
of a weekly paper, whose first duly is lo keep ihe student body informed of the
news of the college. News is new—and the omission of editions of the NKWS
means failure in this first obligation.
Because ii was evident thai student lax payments this year would necessarily
mean the continuance of the policy of omitting editions of the NKWS, and because
the members of the NKWS hoard are keenly aware of this obligation, this reduction
tit the size of Ihe issue has been approved. Reduction in size means issues each
week—with no omissions.
It is earnestly hoped that conditions in the future will permit subsequent
editorial hoards lo rut urn to 1 lit* five-column size editions, but whether re-adjustments will permit this or not, it is the duty of the NKWS to continue the standard

State's Stage
The Statesman
Established by the Class of 1918
Playgoer is exuberant with praise for
the two productions of the elementary
dramatics class Tuesday night.
Both
directors are to he congratulated for excellent easts, good sets, and intelligent
stage movements and business.
The first play was a hit difficult to get
at first due to a rather newly acquired
"cockney," but as the play went on, the
difficulty cleared up through lucid acting.
Mr. Gleason was a hit deafening as was
the proprietress, but bolh showed keen
interpretative sense of their parts. We
should like lo see more of Mr. Gleason.
The make-up committee turned the attractive Aliss Griffin beyond recognition,
(to their credit), hut made a rather poor
job of Miss Studebakcr's face which was
blotchy. It's nice to see some new coiffures on Slate's stage.
Welcome to a newcomer and best
wishes for future success,— Miss (Meson.
With a clear voice and great sincerity,
Miss Oleson was outstanding in her
part. At times the humor of her own
situation made her smile, hut we trust
that with experience she will get over
Ibis habit.
Miss Griffin was charming. The oilier
young ladies did excellent jobs in character studies. Every role was distinct.
The second play had the heller set and
a great variety of color. Miss Dixon is
to be commended for a smooth and well
rounded performance. Mr. Norton, another new-comer, is most welcome, showing great possibilities.
Everyone in the cast showed the proper
appreciation of the farce situation anil,
incidentally, directors, this is where Mr.
Kelly belongs.
At limes the stage pictures were a hit
pushed to one side, but were usually quite
good.
On the whole, credit goes where credit
is due and il certainly goes lo Miss Dixon
and Miss Simmers for the finest entertainment of the year—thus far.

ABOLISH CLASS ORGANIZATIONS?
The lack of interest on ihc part of the undergraduate body causes one of our
contemporary exchanges to suggest that class organizations for all years except
the senior be abolished. W e are wondering if we do not have a parallel situation
here. T h e requirement that voting privileges be restricted to those who pay class
dues has caused marked decrease in the attendance at class meetings. This situation
has been especially noticeable and lamentable, i t has resulted in a situation where
forty or fifty individuals are legally aide to control the activities of a class,—
simply because the rest of the class lacks interest or funds. VVc have no quarrel
with those minorities who do govern the class organizations. They, as stated
hereinbefore, have the legal right to govern—under the present rules. But is it
fair to the vast majority? If a majority of any group are not financially able to
pay class dues and thus are excluded, then the class dues should he abolished.
Again and again, it is apparent that ours are different times from those when
these organizations began.
W e are throwing the following questions at the .student body 1
