MCGILL (According to director Paul Crouch, New York theater-go- ers were stunned by Arthur Kopit’s tragifarce “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feeling So Sad.” It is not surprising. It is also likely that those who took the opportunity to see this latest production by Stage and Script were both amused and moved by this example of “the theater of the absurd.” They were amused by the humor which, at least as the play reaches its climax, takes on the quality of the macabre; for, as is the case with all genuine humor, the laughter is followed by the shocked recog nition that beneath the humor there is perceptive and moving Planning Board Again Delays Street Decision seriousness. That both the humor and the seriousness came through in vir tually perfect balance is a tri bute to !Mr. Crouch’s sensitive direction and to the polished per formances of the members of the cast. Such ba'ance is not easy to achieve; without it, all is lost. As Madame Rosepettle, a cold, hard, aloof widow who believes that “Ufe is a lie” and that “the world is waiting to devour those who love,” Sandra Ed- w'ards reveals a versatility in character protrayal and a vocal power and range that she has not shown in earlier productions. If such were not called for be fore, it is now clear that she has them when they are needed. Her son Jonathan, played by Chris Murphy, is the innocent, naive, and helpless victim of h i s mother’s own devouring passion. In this role, Mur phy also gives his finest per formance to date. His halting, inarticulate speech and his va cant, frightened stare perfectly suggest his desperate and in escapable loneliness, provoking both laughter and compassion. A fine interpretation of a diffi cult role. As Rosa lie, Jonathan’s only “human” contact with the world, Linda Spatig makes her debut as a member of Stage and Script. And an auspicious debut it is, indeed. Her natural and disarming innocence, her grace ful movements, and her charm ing vocal inflections all com bine to produce “‘the art that See VIEWERS Page 4 Meet For Loan Recipients Set Mr. Norman Watson from the College Foundation, Inc. will meet with the recipients of the College Foundation and James E. and Mary Z.

JFith No Arguments Committee Is Returning Funds To Exec Board again delayed by .V £!■ ^ Co^un- fc' r 1 on re. ttnts iteetina campus at “ of the board March was sought by Jack NO / Atlantic Maynard, Wilson City manager, in anticipation of further infor mation on parking problems, ac cess to campus buildings by fire and emergency vehicles, and pos sible traffic difficulties resulting from the street closure. The college has requested that the city close Gold St. from Deans St. to Whitehead Ave. and Rountree St. from Woodard St. to Gold St. The college now owns proper ty on both sides of the street segments. According to a proposed plan, traffic could presently be routed through Lee St. and the new bypass. Maynard stated, how ever, that a portion of the traf fic would have to be routed through a portion of Whitehead -Ave. which is scheduled to be paved this spring. Maynard added that in his opinion, action should be delayed until Whitehead Ave. is paved. Prior to the meeting, the col lege’s request had been discus sed briefly by the Wilson City Commissioners, then turned over to the Planning Board where it nad been discussed at two pre vious meetings. Tryout Dates Set For Next SS Production Tryouts for the final Stage and Script production of the sea son, "The Fantasticks,” are scheduled for 7;30 p.m. Wednes day, March 27, in Howard Chapel This musical comic - love story has been responsible for such well - known songs as “Try to Remember,” succesfuh ]y recorded by Ed Ames, and “Soon It’s Gonna’ Rain” and “Much More,” both included in a recent Barbra Streisand al bum. The local production is set for May 16, 17, and 18. The script calls for five sing ers, four men and a girl, and three non - singing characters. Director Paul Crouch says tht all the parts are still open to anyone who is interesed in try ing out. Prior vocal training is not necessary. Those trying for singing roles should bring a prepared song with them. An accompanist will be provided. See TRYOUT Page 4 By JOYCE COPELAND The Executive Board meeting of March 18 held an all-time first for the organization, money was returned to the Executive Board Fund, The Student Center Committee, formally the Bohunk •Committee, has decided to use the money from the pool table to pay their expenses. It was one of the first motions that the Exec. Board did not argue against. Harrison 'Rick Harrison, chairman of the Course-Teacher Evaluation Com mittee, reported that the survey would begin today with the seniors. This survey will give each professor a chance to see him self in the eyes of the student. The forms will not in any way ask for the name of the student completing it. Harrison then an nounced that the report would be made known only to the in dividual professors. This is due partly to “the caliber of the students.” Challenged Miss Kay Watson challenged this statement in asking, “What do you mean by the caliber of the student?” ^bby Dunn ad ded, “If the students are not capable of doing it to the point of not having the results made public, why do it?” Dunn placed a motion on the floor that the report be made avail able to all teachers, students, administration, and Board of Trustees members. The motion was approved on the considera tion that the names of individual teachers not be made public. Power The Executive Board Cabinet was given the power to set dates for the elections of OC.A officers, editors and business managers for the Collegiate and Pine Knot, and head cheerleader. It was pointed out election of head cheerleader should have been held on the same ballot as the SG,A officers according to the constitution. The meeting then adjourned after a brief 40 minutes.
