Outdoor 'Medea' Production To Be
Roughest Chore For Play makers
By Mark Sumner
Staging their annual out-door
Forest Theater production is
probably the most difficult task
the Carolina Playmakers tackle
in the course of a season. Their
forthcoming production of "Me
dea," scheduled for May 19, 20,
21, is no exception.
Although the ancient Greeks,
who launched Euripedes "Medea"
on its 2000-year stage history,
presented the play; outside in the
open theaters of the day, an out
door production of the play in
modern times raises numerous
problems which must be faced by
the director.

Dense Fog
Complicates
U.S. Weather
By the Associated Press
A mass of cool air from Hud
son Bay pushed into the Great
Lakes region yesterday and was
moving northeastward to New
England.
In Chicago, temperatures drop
ped 24 degrees in three hours,
from a high of 74 at noon to 50
at 3 p. m. The 'cooler air was
accompanied by dense fog from
Lake Michigan.
The drop in temperatures
should be followed by a warmup
within about 24 hours, the U.
S. Weather Bureau at Chicago
said.
Most of the rest of the nation
had clear skies and relatively
high temperatures.
Simons, who directed the recent
production of Paul Green's
"Tread the Green Grass," and
"Cyrano de Bergerac" two years
ago, is the one who has the head
aches. He is directing the show.
The Forest Theater, where the
play will be presented, has a
stage more than twice as wide as
the one in the Playmakers The
atre, and the audience, "nearly
three times the size of the indoor
theatre, sits on stone tiers built
up the steep slope in front of the
stage.
As in nearly all stage shows,
the shop and technical crews
have as much work as any of, the

Chancellor Lists
Three Objectives
For First Program
By Rolfo Neill
A three-pronged program
built around the University,
its students, faculty, and ad
ministration begins today in
a week-long series of activi
ties officially designated as
the annual Spring Festival
Week.
Chancellor Robert B. House,
in announcing the initiation of
the week, listed a three-fold pur
pose: To exhibit the work of the
University over the past year; to
foster among students, faculty,
and administration a feeling of
common purpose, and to extend
an invitation to the people of the
state to visit and become ac
quainted with their University.
Jim Rathburn, director of Gra
ham Memorial, yesterday pointed
out "the rapid increase in the
size of the student body has set
in motion a general tendency for
the University to drift apart. We
are losing our feeling of unity,"
he said.
"Symptoms of this drifting
apart are the general exodus over
the weekend; or worse, lonely
students voh must remain over
the weekend with nothing to do.
Then there's the general lack of
respect for public property on
the campus."
Suggesting several ways to im
prove the situation, Rathburn as
serted social rooms should be
provided for dormitories. "Par
ticularly," he said, "in the men's
residence halls where such facil
ities are completely lacking."
The encouragement of stronger
orgaiiiaztion of smaller groups
within the University, such as
class, school, department, or spe
cial interest groups was men
tioned by Rathburn.
"A new student union build
ing, adequately equipped, locat
ed, financed, and staffed, would
go a long way towards solving
many of the acute problems fac
ing students, faculty, and admin
istration," declared Rathburn.
Several exhibits and displays,
will continue throughout this
week.
Person Hall is housing "Con
temporary Painting." The main
foyer of the library contains
'Notable Acquisitions During the
Past Year" and "Selected Gifts
from Friends of the Library."
Visitors are invited to attend
the broadcasts from the student-
run radio station in Swain Hall
