HILLTOP PLAYERS TOGIVE RICHELIEU Mask and Bauble Club to Make First Formal Ap- pearance of Year. The Mask and Bauble Club of Georgetown University will present Bulwer-Lytton's, “Richelieu,” ats two performances this week in the Wardy man Park Theater. The performances, marking the first formal public appearance of the Hilltop | players this season, will be given Wed- nesday and Thursday evenings at 8 o'clock. Frank Wenzler, who will take the role of Cardinal Richelieu and other members of the cast, were fortunate in teeing Walter Hampden's characteriza- tion of the famous role recently and their study of the professional perform- ance did much to help them in their | @ own rehearsals. Wenzler, president of the Mask and Bauble Club, is a seasoned amateur and took the leading part in last year's play, “Manhood,” written for the club by Rev. Thomas B. Chetwood, 8. J, regent of the law school. Miles O'Brien, a junior, who also had a leading role in “Manhood,” will take the part of Louis XIII in the forthcoming performance. Other leading parts will be taken as follows: William Casson, ‘30, as de Barodas; Willlam O'Brien, '30, de Mauprat; Edgar McCprmick, '33, Julie de Mortemar, and Gerald Burger, ‘31, | Prancol. Less important roles will.be taken by Lester C. Burdett, '32; Leo J. Kelly, '33; Robert Corcoran, '31; Philip Degnan, '30; William Cannon, '32; Robert McNamara, '32; Frederick Murphy, '32; Arthur Schwartz, '32; Gerard O'Brien, '32; Richard Gorman, '33: William Soisson, ’32, Anthony Pusateri, '32; Bart Tiernan, ’33; John Hooley, '33, and John Drum, '33. Ticket Arrangements. Applications for seats at the theater for either performance should be made through Frank Wolpert, business man- ager of the Mask and Bauble Club. Day students, it was announced, may obtain tickets tomorrow. The produc- tion is under the direction of Rev.| ‘Thomas J. Stokes, S. J., moderator of the club and Claus-Bogel has coached the players. The next weeks will be busy ones for the Georgetown R. O. T. C. unit, which has its general War Department inspec- tion Thursday and its anfual military field day on May 22. Maj. A. M. Patch, commanding of- ficer of Fort Washington, will make the inspection at Georgetown and it probably will require several days to complete it. Maj. Patch formerly was R. O. T. C. officer at Staunton Mili~ tary Academy for five years and conse- | quently is thoroughly acquainted with military activities at colleges. All training now is leading up to the fleld day at which several silver cups will be awarded to honor cadets of the unit by the Washington Chamber of Commerce. Maj. William H. Hobson, | who is completing his first. year at Georgetown after a former period as commandant_is very hopeful that the battalion will make a good showing at Thursday's inspection which is_the | most important of the year. Paul Goodwin is cadet commander of the battallon. Tondorf Is Honored. . At the recent joint conference of the Beismological Society of America and the seismology section of the American Geophysical Union, held at Georgetown | College, a tribute was paid the memory | of Father Frances A. Tondorf, George-| town's earthquake authority, whose | death last year deprived the scientists| of one of their most valuable members. In confirming similar resolutions adopt- | ed by other organizations the societies | declared that they “cannot refrain from | expressing their parsonal feeling of loss in the absence from their sessions of | Father Tondor!,” ‘whom they had ex- pected to honor at a special dinner, and “whose genial personality and keen sci- +uuuc insight were a great addition to any meeting at which he was present, and whose translation from this sphere will long be felt.” ‘The resolution was adopted unani- mously on Tuesday, and followed a silent standing reverent tribute of the previous day’s session. ‘The delegates visited the instruments on which Father Tondorf had made seismic history, -and which recorded, during the sessions, the great Burma earthquake, Rev. F. W. Sohon is now in charge of the instruments, having taken up Father Tondorf's work. Presi- dent Nevils of Georgetown also paid a tribute to the scientist in welcoming the delegates. He urged that scientists study with a spirit of co-operation and not merely for “study’s sake.” In re- sponse, Alexander McAdie, who presided, declared that in no scholar was the spirit of unselfish co-operation with his fellow workers in the field so manifest as in Father Tondorf, Georgetown aiumni are further em- phasizing the influence of Father Ton- dorf in the raising of funds for a Ton- dorf memorial library at the Medical School. A silver medal has been struck in honor of the occasion, and will he given donors of $10 or more toward the library fund. Debate This Evening. ‘The annual Hamilton prize debate will be held at the college this evening in Gaston Hall, the subject being, “Re- &olved, That “the chain-store system ghould be approved.” Speakers for the affirmative will be J. Godfrey Butler, '30, of Washington, D. C.: J, PFred Schiafly, '30, of Missouri, and E. Leo Cox, '30, of New York. Arthur Simpson, '30, of Washington; James C. Barnhardt, ‘31, of Washington, and John C. Hayes, '31, of Illinois, will take the negative. At the annual Hoya dinner Thursday evening two prominent Washington newspaper men will address the Hilitop editorial and business staffs. They are Frederic William Wile, political analyst of the Columbia Broadcasting System, who has just returned from the London Naval Conference, and Byron Price, | chief of the Washington bureau of the Associated Press. i COUNTY FEDERATION TO MEET AT ROCKVILLE!

Additional class room space and an improved rearrangement of existing facilities will be effected at National University this Summer through { structural alterations which will be made on the university’s property at 816 Thirteenth street adjoining the main building unit, it' was announced by National authorities last night. The alterations will center about the first floor of the southern unit. This space has been rented to a business jconcern by the university sincc the ! property was acquired by it several l_vears ago and with the expiration of the lease this month, National Uni- versity will divert that floor to its own use. Two new class rooms will be estab- lished through the general shift of facilities following ~the structural changes, The university library, which now occuples most of the third floor, will be moved to the main floor where it will be more accessible to the student body and administrative offices. Is Second Expansion. The proposed alterations announced last night, constitute the secona ¢x- pansion made by National University during the current rear. The 1apidly increasing enrollment necessitated the acquisition during the Winter of addi- tional class room space in 815-17 Thir- teenth street, opposite the main build- ing. New clnss rooms were established at that time and these will continue in use along with the proposed new | quarters at 816 Thirteenth street fol- {lowing the alterations. ~These (w0 measures, National authorities hope, will provide adequate facilities for the ex- Economics and Government at least for the immediate future. Approximately one half of National University's students this year are em- ployes of various Federal Government departments, This is shown in a brief analysis of the student body which is contained in the university’s new cata- log, advance copies of which were ex- amined by the institution's heads last week. Of the 1,019 enrolled students, 503 are on Government personnel rolls. Of these, 89 are employed at the Capitol itself. Other departments heading the list include the Treasury Depariment with 79 and the Interstate Commerce Commission with 42, Tae other 293 Federal workers are fairly cvenly dis- tributed among the remeaining Govern- ment offices. The 517 students not in Govern- ment employ are engaged in virtually every business and profession repre- sented in the District. The average age of National University students is 27 years, and 10 per cent of the en- rollment are women. The first woman student, incidentally, entered National in 1920. The principal debate of the 1929-30 academic year at National will be staged next Saturday night when the four victors in the series of interclass forensic tilts contend for the title, “best debater of the year,” and the faculty prize it carries. The fourth and final elimination meet, held a week ago, was won by Edward G. Sievers, a_ junior. He will contend in his own right with Merritt L. Smith, Lloyd G. Andrews and John P. Cotton, winners of the other meets. The faculty award will be made to next Saturday's victor at commencement.
