One striking feature of the tournament is absent this year. For tho
first time since 1015 athletics arc
missing from the list of activities.
Duo to tho inability to complete tho

no contests whatever in athletics nro
boing held this yonr. Interest, however, is intense in tho other contests
nnd the general opinion is that in interest nnd quality tho tournament this
year is superior to former years.

Cast For All the Plays
Chosen From Student Body
A little more than two years ago
a group of people interested in community dramatics "got together" and
decided to finance the purchase of a
building to be used for these produc
tions. Mr. Carol Sax, head of tho
department of Art of the university,
who had successfully conducted
little theatre in Baltimore, was chosen
as the natural head of such an under
taking. Today the Romany, though
still burdened with debt, has been
pronounced a success by an appreci
ative public.
In the beginning when the neces
sary number of guarantors had been
obtained it was decided to buy the
old negro church on Winslow street
The building was old and dilapidated
but after the interior had been deco
rated by the university art students
who carried out the idea suggested
by the Gypsy name, it was truly fas
cinating. Tho stage, which was added
to the rear end of tho building, was
built by five students who gave up
their summer vacation in order to
help. The casts for all the plays
are chosen from the student body, the
people of Lexington and neighboring

The promise was fulfilled a few months ago,
when electricity at 220,000 volts was transmitted
two hundred and forty miles to supply Los
Angeles with light and power.
Now five billion dollars are invested in electric
power plants. A stupendous figure that testifies
to the alertness of thousands of
men who have been leaders in the production
and use of electric power.

The electrical era has only dawned. Each year
some new machine or discovery makes it possible
to apply electricity in unexpected ways. The
graduate of today will find electricity directly
or indirectly a means for even greater accomplishments, no matter what his calling in life
may be.

The fifty guarantors entered into
a contract with the Romany players,
who promised to present for their
pleasure ten plays, in return for which
the guarantors were to receive season
tickets for two years. Not only have
the ten plays been given, but the
players are to present about May 17
A. A. Milne's "Dover Road," a special
production not included in the season's
five productions. With the proceeds
of this charming comedy they hope
to eliminate the remainder of the
debt incurred.

the coming season, 1925-2original list of guarantors is to be
increased and a drive for new sub

Among tho plays under considera
tion for next year are Shaw's "Pyg
