Carolyn Mewborm, a Tri-Sig

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.

tic Christian College have been

can Colleges and Universities,”

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. Dr. Robert Delp, chairman;
Lucy (Biggs, senior representa
tive; Rhete White, junior rep
resentative; Alice Nash, sopho

Tams 'Cause
Dsmagfe To AC
It has been reported that the
damage that was done by the
Tams when they were in con
cert at AOC came to a total of
$120. 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.
