A run-off election
is being held today
to decide who will be
our next Student Gov
ernment Association
President and Vice
President. David
Boschelli and Larry
Pike are running for
the office of Presi

"House of Blue
Leaves;'" the col
lege 's current Thea
tre Arts production
is well worth the
time of those who
haven't yet seen it.
Briefly, the play
opened last Thursday
for a three day run,
and will be offered
again this Friday and
Saturday in Owen The
atre . The perform
ance starts promptly
at 8:00.
The play is a very
modern production,
written in 1972 by
John Guare. In terms
of its moderness, the
play alternates be
tween comedy and an
underlying theme of
some what seems to be
black absurdity
(black in the sense
of imagery). At the
same time the audi
ence is able to rec
ognize facets of
their own existence
and experienc,e which
puts the play on a
very realistic level
as well.
Technically, the
execution of the
mechanics is smooth
and approaches pro
fessional standards.
This is high praise
for a production
which looks casual in
its approach but in
reality is loaded
with special effects
which have to be
timed right or lose
all effectiveness,
but it is deserved.
In the lead role.
Chuck Montgomery is a
