Throttlebottom Wants to be Vice President of Yale---Wintergreen Says Elis Should be Co-ed

"It would be very nice to be Vice President of Yale; I am willing to accept the Vice Presidency of any place," said Victor Moore, "Alexander Throttlebottom," of "Of Thee I Sing," and "Let 'Em Eat Cake," when interviewed by the CRIMSON. "I'd like any job in that line, it's easy work, and you have a lot of fun."

William Gaxton, "President Wintergreen" of both the stage successes, however, declined when it was suggested to him that he might make a good President for the home of the Elis. "I'll leave all such jobs to Throttlebottom," said Mr. Gaxton. "However, if I were President, I think I could help them out in athletics. I would have the Yale faculty play the Harvard faculty--that would be a real game, and by the way Lois Moran might give them some inspiration, she did well by Harvard."

"No," protested Mr. Moore, "I'd put a ballet in their backfield; it might distract Harvard. Also I would make Yale co-educational, make all universities co-ed. Why not help the boys out?"

"I'll have to disagree with the Vice President again," said Mr. Gaxton. "Why fuss about making Yale co-ed? I gathered from articles in the papers a couple of years ago that they were already headed that way. They've been doing all right so far. Let 'em alone and they'll be completely co-ed in no time. And you might suggest that they move their huddles out on the football field, that always helps."

When asked about the significance of plays satirizing the government, Mr. Moore said, "I never realized how funny 'Of Thee I Sing' was until I saw the real Congress in action. Then I really appreciated Mr. Kaufmann's satire. I thought we were over-doing it, but after my visit to Washington I saw that we were only scratching the surface."

"Such plays don't have much effect on the government," said Mr. Gaxton. "Both our plays have been produced at opportune times, so naturally they were successful. But they did not affect the administration in any way the administration that 'Of Thee I Sing' was satirizing was so used to ridicule that one play more or less didn't make much difference to it."
