Scales To Go Before Courts On April 77 GREENSBORO, Jan. 17 Hi Junius Irving Scales, charged with knowingly being a member of the Communist party, an or ganization advocating the violent "overthrow of the government, will go on .trial here April 11 in U. S, Middle District Court. ,i The trial date was set last week during a 30-minute court appear ance by Scales and his newly-employed counsel, Reuben Terris. ' Scales, now free under $35,000 bond, and his attorney were pres ent when the federal court con vened at 9:30 a.m. for a rule day session. Judge Johnson J. Hayes of Wilkesboro presided. Terris, a resident of Brooklyn with law offices in New York City, first asked for a 60-day extension oX the deadline for entering mot ions, which was originally set for yt sterday. A discussion -of available court dates followed, and these were agreed to by the attorneys: Feb. IS, the deadine for Scales to file motions; March 2, for the govern ment to answer the motions; and March. 8, for argument on the mo- , tions in the courtroom Terris was permitted to make the oral motion for extension af- ter he informed Judge Hayes that he had filed a petition in New York to be admitted for practice before federal court in his home district. After court appearance, both Terris and Scales talked with a reporter for some 15 minutes. Ter ris answered most of the quest ions, with Scales seeming content to let the attorney speak for him. Terris termed the case as "a trial of ideas, rather "than a trial of acts by an individual." He pre dicted that the grand jury indict ment will either be dismissed on motion or that Scales, a Greens boro native, will be acquitted. Asked his view on the indict ment, Terris said it charged no overt acts, that it will be up to the government to prove each item in the bill, and that "every historical document of this nation flies into the teeth of this type of indictment."

Hill J Hall-Mozart Version Of Marriage Of Figaro Slated For Last Showing Tonight By WILLIAM EATON Mozart's The Marriage of Fig aro, to be presented for the last time tonight at 8:30 in Hill Hall, has been many months in pre paration. Musical director Dr. Wilton Mason has been working constant ly since he conceived the idea last spring. Though 'Figaro' is one of Dr. Mason's favorite operas, he has never been associated with its production before. The possibility of producing this opera was con tingent upon the availability of finding suitable singers, musicians and -technicians for the produc tion. All last summer, he was reading various translations and locating ' the necessary orchestra parts. Stage director Charles Jeffers, costumer Suzanne Kramer and set designer Walter Creech have been working on their individual tasks since given the assignment last October. Mason declared, "The 'jjackground and development of uny major theatrical work is basic it its artistic success.- Each as pect of t production must be close ly allied to achieve inherent unity lor the entire production." FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES The Mozart production was rea lized only under the most fortu nate circumstances. The desired people for the cast and orchestra were available this year. The physical ' production could not have been accomplished without the advice and cooperation of the Carolina Playmakers' staff. A full length production of an opera has never been attempted before by the music department due to the lack of personnel and facili ties to present a major work. . Dr. Mason and Jeffers spent many hours in historical back ground of the style, customs, man ners and previous productions of the opera.. Only after arranging Ifor the various production as pects, was the go-ahead signal given for auditions. These try outs brought forth fresh talent which is utilized in the cast of 10 singers and five dancers. After casting, six weeks of in tensive musical- rehearsals were spent with the principals. Group rehearsals were first held to co ordinate the ensembles. Work was then done individually to achieve a characterization for each of the singers. The stage director at tended all the music rehearsals, working closely with the musical director so that there was cohe sion in their interpretation of the production as a whole. v Jeffers spent three weeks block ing the singers' movement on pa per, spending the past six weeks in concentrated staging of the action. All movements and stage business had to be cued to the music, as there is no flexibility in this medium, and action must be synchronized to Mozart's score. MUSIC IS EXACTING y It was not possible for Jeffers to complete his staging of the action until the singers knew the manuscript completely. -The most activity on the stage is called 1 for when the action is excited. At; these times, the music is most ex-; acting, making it necessary for the j Final Exam Schedule The schedule for final exams is as follows: All 2 p.m. Classes on TThS and Econ 31, 32, 81 Friday, Jan. 21, 8:30 a.m. All Noon-Classes on TThS and fNav Sci 101, 201, 301, 401 Friday, Jan. 21, 8:30 a.m. All 1 p.m. Classes on MWF and BA 72, 180, Phar 10 Saturday, Jan. 22, 8:30 a.m. All 9 a.m. Classes on MWF Saturday, Jan. 22, 2 p.m. All 9 a.m. Classes on TThS Monday, Jan. 24, 8:30 a.m. All 8 a.m. Classes on MWF Monday, Jan. 24, 2 p.m All 10 a.m. Classes in MWF Tuesday, Jan. 25, 8:30 a.m. All French, German and Spanish courses numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, and Latin 1, and BA 150, Phar 15 Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2 p.m. All 11 a.m. Classes on TThS Wednesday, Jan. 26, 8:30 p.m. All 10 a.m." Classes on TThS Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2 p.m. All 11 a.m. Classes on MWF Thursday, Jan. 27, 8:30 a.m. All 3 p.m. Classes, Chem 11, BA 71, Econ 170 and all classes not otherwise provided for in this schedule Thursday, Jan. 27, 2 p.m. All 8 a.m. Classes on TThS Friday, Jan. 28, 8:30 a.m. All 2 p.m. Classes on MWF Friday, Jan. 28. 2 p.m. "All Noon Oases on MWF - - Saturday, Jan. 29, 8:30 a. m.

I .,yr 4 w ' ( JOEL CARTER . opened, last night, singers to do less physical action and concentrate on the music. Caroline Sites, accompanist for the opera, has also attended each rehearsal along with the cast. She and the entire cast devoted tre mendous work and . effort by giv- Iing up all their weekends since the casting was announced in order to rehearse. I The orchestra was carefully chosen to achieve a balance of all the various instruments. Their first rehearsal began just after Christmas, with Dr. Mason "cover ing the score" with them. The problem arose of integrating them vvith the singers. This was diffi cult for most members of the 28 piece orchestra as they are not used to accompanying singers, but playing in symphony groups. It .vas necessary that they play softer than usual in order that the singers dominate the music. Walter Creech, who was select 2d as scene designer last Octo ber, recalled the baroque and roc oco flavor of the operas given at Salzburg Festivals in Austria. His stage design was projected from this knowledge. He feels there is a v definite Viennese flavor of the music and libretto.

She has ire-created manv costumes to the i I correct historical style of an 18th century court.
