On Monday and Tuesday Dec. 12th and 13th Stage & Script will present T. S. Eliot’s famed verse play “Murder in the Ca thedral” in Howard Chapel at 8:15 p.m. as its second major production of the year. The theme of the play is the martyrdom of St. Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29th, 1170 and deals with the same major char acters as did the recent movie “Becket.” However, Eliot in fol lowing the structure of the an cient Greek tragedies, has elect ed to begin his play just shortly before the final catastrophe in order to focus on Becket’s rnar- tyrdom and its meanings. Vital to the plot is Becket’s \dctory o.ver temptation much as in the Medieval morality play “Every- m-an.” ^ , ,,, ^‘Murder in the Cathedral was originally written for a festival held at Cantenbury in June, 1935 and since that time has re mained one of the most pop ular of all plays in verse. Eliot uses several types of verse in the play, not only for_ dialogue, but to emphasize certain aspects of the characters. Blank verse is used for the speeches of the priests, the Chorus and Becket with rhymed verse being i^ed for the Tempters to show their sensual and petty qualities. Af ter Becket’s murder the Knights explain their reas.on for con^t- ting the act in prose which Ebot uses to symbolize their matter- of-fact and reali^ic attitudes, with their speeches having over tones of Twentieth Century speech symbolizing the continu^ refusal of man to accept reli gion. Interwoven with the verse are several Gregorian chants ^ the play’s Interlude is in the form of a Christmas Day ser mon delivered by the Archbis hop These devices and the re peated use of the rythmns of various chants and introits of the Catholic faith give the play a very religious quality, in keeping with this, the present production is being presented as a religious service and the au- dience is requested not to ap plaud at the end of the produc tion and there will 'be no cur tain calls. . The leading role of Becket will be portfayed by Clifford Poole with Reggie Smith, Byron Wynd- ham, and Robert Noble as priests. The Three Tempters, who reappear at the play’s end as the murderers of Becket, are being played by Harold Hummel, Chris Murphy, and Steve Dollar. Almost as important as the role of the Archbishop is the Chorus of the Women of Canterbury made up of Linda Gurley, Doris Green, Sandra Smith, Lillian Barnes, and the four solo choral voices will be Sandra Edwards, Alice Nash, Betsy Milligan, and Jackie Baker. The production has been de signed anid directed by Cecil Willis, with the costumes being made by Jackie Baker and Lois Hall, and the setting and lighting being executed by Jon Rucker. As the play takes place dur ing the Christmas Octave, and as it has a great feeling of this season, there will be no admission charge and the public is cordially invited to attend.

Barbara Ann Barnes, daugher Special Line Is Canceled The Food Service Committee met on Thursday, December 1, for one of its regular meetings concerning the operation of the Cafeteria. The main topic for discussion was the problem which had arisen at the Sunday noon meal on November 22nd. It was pointed out that this was the Sunday before the Thanksgiving holidays and that many more people than usual were on campus that weekend. A problem arose when the Cafe teria became crowded and the special line ran out of food. The Committee discussed the various p^oints of the problem in an effort to prevent it from occurring in the future. Further discussion concerned the special line at the Sunday meal. The Com'mittee felt that the student body might prefer the exclusion of the special line on Sundays. It was decided that the special line on Sundays will be discontinued beginning with the December 11th meal. In other matters, the desire to have music in the Cafeteria was emphasized and it was decided to have the record player re paired so that music could 'be provided. The Committee also emphasized the desire to have students with complaints to speak to them so that these problems can be brought to the attention of the Committee. The merribers of the Committee are.

As of now no action has been taken against the Tams and it appears doubtful that there is any way to make them reimburse the college for the cost of’ this damiage. However, at a meeting of the SGA Execu tive Board a resolution was passed recommending that the Tams not be asked to participate in any further college functions. A letter has also been sent ta- the Tam’s booking agency in forming them of the conduct dis played by the Tams on our cam pus.
