Frosh Skit Mild-
Compared To Past
By MIKE REYNOLDS
With a cast of thousands and
three years in the making, the
Freshman Skit for 1956 opened
and closed at the Autry House
on Wednesday the 21st., despite
previous rumors. Rather mild in
comparison with past produc-
tions, it was still raunchy
enough to elicit the cheers of
onlooking fellow classmen. By
the closing chorus there was
some doubt in this reviewer's
mind that some of the audience
hadn't gotten into the act. By
quick count (non-eng. style)
there appeared to be 26 on the
stage. Mass confusion was ram-
pant.
The drama opened with the
classic Greek chorus warning the
audience and begging forgiveness
for the "low" comedy. (A result
i of popular demand and the spon-

taneous corruption of its
authors.)
The first and only sce£? open-
ed at Kay's Houston's cross-
roads, where Marilyn Manure
and a dishonorable bartender
were dissipating over a "big
orange." We noticed Dr. Davies
in the melee, obviously on a
biological expedition, carefully
observing Bev Montgomery.
Many typical Rice girls and U.
of H. girls were to be seen with
typical Rice ideas. Dr. Parish
and Dean McBride appeared on
the scene saying something
about a riot.
Despite outside interference,
the bartender had persuaded
Marilyn to perform her hula to
rousing cheers. Just when our
fair heroine is about to be de
duced down the path that is
primrose, the hero — Pelvis
Esley — worms his way on
stage to rescue the misguided
maiden.
The curtin closes as Bev puts
forth with a song and a chorus
line manages to push the herd
into the back drops.
library Still Needs Student Assistants
The library is in need of ad-
ditional student assistants, both
boys and girls. Preference is
given to freshmen and sopho-
mores who have made good
grades, but all interested stu-
dents are urged to apply to Dr.
Hardin Craig or to Miss Lane.
There are openings in almost
all of the library's departments.
The need is urgent, because a
number of students have had to
give up their work in the library
recently.
