Present S&B editor Jim Here 20: took the view that the par per can act as a crusader through its editorials. Herzog’s views were argued by Steve Howell, CDI'HP pre v dent. Howell lclt that editol‘rl support ot certain issues was uniair because the 5&3 has a monopoly in this form of Conl- munieation. Hel'zog returned that the S&B gives eoual news coverage to each side of campus issues and that after luliilling this responsibility, the paper has the right to follow any editorial policy it chooses Howell also claimed that the ski! tails to work in close connection with student gov- eminent. torial statements on women's LSU_13 Texas 0 75515.9 Don't let your resist- ance' wear down.

On another subject, Ludwig pointed out that the paper also owes responsible reporting to, tillumni and other non-students. “The paper isn‘t obligated to be‘ a public relations instrument; lbut since it goes of: campus, the paper docs have l'esponsivl .bilities lo these people,” Ludwigl jdeclared. l ‘ Craig llendcrson, president of sigma Delta Chi at Grins i ncll, revealed that two admin. . istration officials had told him l that the 5&3 was not being ,MaiIiIociurer ; alo Visil Here Dr. Jerzy Neyman, director oi .the Statistical Laboratory at the_ tUniversity ot California, will bet lat.

The costumed actors move and weave their predicted pattern on the stage. They speak zmd react, ”Louder,” cuts in a voice from the center section of seats. “Take it from the top again.” The Grinnell production oi 1.3. is taking shape. Rehearsals have been going on for four weeks now, the iirst three having rehearsals tour nights a week, and this week rehearsals every night. At the beginning of the rehearsal schedules the actors appear in school clothes to deliver halt ingly their new lines, The blocking or arrange ‘ ment and movement of actor is Worked out under the supervision of Richard Meyer (drama), and the development ot charactc zation is begun. “We discuss the way various scenes should be played and experiment with many. many ap- pruachcs. Even now we are still working on the interpretations at some scenes." commended Meyer, "You know there have been two versions of ll}. presented Yale was the first to (live this play, its interpretation was that of‘ an intellect ual debate between the devil and God. The sets were realistic and the devil and God moved freely about the stage. The Broadway version, directed by Elia Kazen, was more emotional in impact. The Devil and God remained lair sta- tiallaly against a nonreullstic set. Our ve ion is a compromise between the two, We see it as a three way struggle between God, Satan and LB. We will not try to approximate reality 7 our set is concerned with providing interesting shapes ITIlree-wa y Struggle in .I. B.

Scenes. then whole acts are given Without pauses for instruction. Notes taken by Meyer are discussed ill the close of the itcl, and general instructions are delivered. ' “Thinking of What comes next is vital." ad— monishes Meyer after a run-through of the first act. “Prepare the audience by followmg a logical order, Think, move, then Speak, that's the order OI acllng.” Technical problems must be worked out dur— ing rehearsals The music, which is a tape of the music composed (or and used in the Broadway production, must be fitted in, the volume regu— lated. There are Iltile problems such as h0w_‘m keep newspapers used in one scene trom rattling and there are technical Stumpel‘s Such as how to give the impression of an A-boinb explosion. This latter problem was solved by the use OI lighting and wind sound ctlects, interruptions such as the need of the stage in the early evening by other organizations must be borne. “We have to have the patience ot lob." ouipped one cast member as he wanted to go on again after one such interruption. But these rehearsals are only a preparation tor the crucial time when the theater is lull and the real pertormance begins, Meyer said, “We hope that students will e . periencc the play itself rather than sitting ea 1y analyzing the themes or their Junior Liberal Arts Exam. Comedy calls for this type at deter-tn, ment, but tragedy needs emotional involvement Students should be caught up in the spectacle ot the play and then analyze in retrospect.” I963 CYCLONE IS NOW ON SALE—SEE YOUR HALL SALESMAN SPANISH HOUSE—Lucia Urquidi ERMAN H OUSE—Gregory Mace EAST—Elliot Barber WEST—Jim Roberts COWLES—Gearge Buck DIBBLE—John Teget LARK—Jim Hatfield GATES—Ira Dubitsky RAWSON—Pete Staben LANGAN—Steve Buckles SMITH——Jay Cutler NORTH—Bill Petersen SOUTH—John Moore 9 pictures suitable for use in THE CYCLONE contact Dick Wedemeyer.
