Judicial Bill Gets
Senate Approval
On Dec, 7 and 8, the Wesleyan
Players will present the French
comedy, Tartuffe, by Moliere.
The production will be done in
the arena style, with spectators
seated on all sides of the play.
The Student Union chapel area
will be adapted for this purpose.
Removed From Stage
The play itself is a hilarious
treatment of religious hypocrisy,
set in the period of Louis XIV.
^Vhen first performed, it brought
about such a howl of protest
that it had to be removed from
the stage for five years.
Since the time of its return,
Tartuffe has remained as one
of Moliere’s greatest plays. Cer
tainly, it has been one of his
most controversial.
The Wesleyan Players’ pro
duction features Royal Brown
as the hypocrite Tartuffe and
Larry Gupton as his befuddled
victim Orgon.
The cast also includes Jeff
Griffin as Cleante, Joan Bass
as Madame Pernelle, Daisey
Thorpe as Elmire, Wanda Exum
as Dorine, Dorcas Moore as
Mariane, Randy King as Valere,
and David Caison as Damis.
Rounding out the cast will be
John Eilers as Monsieur Loyal,
Mary C. Hodgin as Flipote, and
WCEC’s Ray Wilkinsen as an
officer of Louis XIV.

The Senate, on Monday, Nov.
19, passed a much debated part
of the Judicial Expansion Bill.
The bill, presented by Vann
Massey, was to “give some con
crete structure for the Student

a paper released by the Student

that certain changes had been
made.

Prof Likes Wesleyan
Herta Wollscheiber, assistant
professor of physics, came from
Graz, Austria. Miss Wollschei
ber majored in physics at the
University of Graz. She secured
a scholarship through the Me
thodist Church in Vienna to go
to Duke, where she earned a
Master’s Degree in Religious
Education.
While she was at Duke, Miss
Wollscheiber met Dr. CoUins
and later in Austria she re
newed her friendship with him
when he led a Youth Caravan
there. He persuaded her to
renew her studies in physics
and to join the faculty of Wes
leyan as a physics professor.
Although she was serving as
a Director of Christian Edu
cation at the Methodist Church
in Vienna, she decided that by
becoming a teachcr she could
combine her two desires of work
ing.
,■
She returned to the Univer
sity of Graz to pursue her
course work on her Ph.D and
at present she is working on
her dissertation which is con
cerned with a study of the Iono
sphere.
At present Miss Wollscheiber
HERTA WOLLSCHEIBER
is residing in the Women’s
Dorm. She thinks the students
in her classroom have been
very understanding about her
newness to this country and her
long disuse of English. In fact
she claims “everyone is so nice
and helpful that I really do
enjoy being here, and the col
lege is re:illy lovely.”

College Book Store
Planning Expansion
Needless to say, college stu
dents read texts, exams, news
papers; but, do they read (ex
cluding required material) the
better literature?
To see to it that we have good
books available, the book store
has adopted an expansion pro
gram. There are now paper
back editions ranging from Jazz
(Andre Francis) to Rembrandt
and Hemingway. Almost any
thing the “browser” could want,
the display includes self-help
books (like Greek made easy)
and eventually best sellers,
school book jackets, and “re
quested” literature.
We all want to improve our
selves and reading is one good
way to improve our word and
thought power.
So if you go into the book
store, look around, ask for what
you want —a little Tolstoy or
Flaubert, perhaps?
You would be surprised how
much a little extra “learning”
can mean to you, as a student
and as an individual.
