Reports show that, even with this candy still out, the sale al ready has a net profit of approx imately 320 dollars, out of an original 1,050 dollar investment. The money is to go into a stu dent activity fund and be used to sponsor a dance. The money missing from Don Key’s room will be taken as a loss by the student council, since Don cannot be held responsible for the lc«s, and there is no in surance on the loss. Authorities are still hopeful of recovering the money, however. One of the major worries of the student council is the stu dents who did not return for spring semester and kept the money.

The play is limited to the town inself, with hardly a sug gestion of the outside world. One of the main characters of the play is Captain Cat, a blind man. In the radio play the blind captain was a natural bridge be tween the eye and the ear of the radio listener. He still holds a central position, however, in the visual play, along with two anonymous narrators. The Kaleidoscope players have been touring many sections of the country for the past five years and now enlarge their hor izons to include the fifty states. Established by producer-actor BiJl Fegan as a small theatrical company that would tour the un usual in drama and that would be available to colleges and uni versities regardless of size, the Players began touring weekends and summers in several south- eastera and midwestern states. Since established they have earned an enviable reputation for superior performances, par ticularly in the area of the in terpretation of the literature they were presenting. The current cast now includes New York actress Lee Speich, who is now in her third year as leading actress with the Players. She has been in num erous off - Broadway shows, and she has been a popular actress in New England, Michigan, and Minnesota. Ben Zellar is the leading actor as well as the new director of the group. He has designed set tings for several off-Broadway theatres and appeared in over thirty performances with the Wayne University 'Theatre and with the National Players in Washington.
