The cast of DARKNESS AT NOON
features Kin Goble in the lead role
as Nicholai Rubashov. Kin, a senior,
appeared in the 1969 Summer Thea
tre Workshop productions of MISS
JULIE, BLITHE SPIRIT, and CALA
MITY JANE. The intensity of the
play is heightened by a fellow pri
soner, “402” played by Bruce Han
sen. A professor of biology on
campus, Mr. Hansen has done con
siderable professional work in sum
mer stock and appeared in Mars
Hill productions of TEA AND SYM
PATHY, and SHE STOOPS TO CON
QUER. Linda Duck, a senior, por
trays Luba, the secretary with whom
Rubashov falls in love. The role
of Luba is quite different from her
past roles of the Mute in THE FAN-
TANSTICKS and Kate in SHE
STOOPS TO CONQUER.
Gletkin, the dehumanized. Com
munist interrogator, is played by
Allen Kirk. Allen, a freshman, is a
newcomer to the Owen Building
stage. He appeared in Roanoke this
summer in SUNDAY IN NEW YORK.
Ivanoff, Gletkin’s superior and Rub-
ashov’s interrogator, is played by
Teddy Cassels, a senior. Ivanoff is
a change from Teddy’s usual comic
roles, having portrayed Huck in THE
FANTASTICKS and Henry Miller in
CALAMITY JANE.

NESS AT NOON includes Jim John
stone, Deborah Compton, Delora
Jarvis, Mike Middleton, Darryl Reed,
Cindy Salyer, and Judi Willis. The

ing the course of the late evening
and midnight escapades and with
stood several barrages of apples
thrown from the roof of the cottage;
the battle ended when the sound
of shattering glass caused the Rats
to retreat.
Upon receiving a challenge for a
water fight from the Gibson men.
Lane Parson, Rat King, assembled
his “ratty” troops and charged with
them up Boys’ Hill. No bucket of
water was ever flung; the Gibson
men retreated to the safety of their
dorm; the Rats returned to their
home territory in front of Spilman.
Immediately following the Rats’
troop withdrawal, the Gibson men,
in fine guerilla fashion, emerged
from their hideaway and shouted
new challenges to the Rats, who
lost no time in answering.
Field General Parson regrouped
his Rats, reinforced them with buc
kets, balloons, water and other in
struments of water warfare. When
he sounded the battle cry the Rats
again stormed Boys’ Hill and fought
vigorously until Gibson had been
captured.
Two unnecessary injuries occurred
when upperclassmen began throw
ing bottles, can and rocks. One
boy was hit in the eye by an apple;
another boy was hit in the eye by
a glass fragment.
Said Rat Rick Marshall, “If the
Rats continue to expand their power
and territory, maybe we should re
quest representation in the United
Nations.”
