nonresidents are now using the building in connection with various Mock Convention func tions and there continues to be steady use of the Y lounges Stu dent Council lounge and China Offices Another

Good By PROF WARREN TAYLOR f No play by Shakespeare has had more variedinterpretations than The Tempest Prospero represents thetriumph of human forgiveness one interpreter says Another however finds him a selfish tyrannical bully chockful of vanity a fourflusher The play Tillyard conjectures is Shakespeares serene worldpicture Caliban symbolizes beastly power Ariel angelic andProspero the apex of human wisdom Thus the aging Shakespearebecomes a pseudophilosopher with a pseudoworld view Not so at all conjectures Lytton Strachey Prospero is only an unpleasantly crusty personage in whom a twelve years monopoly of theconversation has developed an inordinate propensity for talking And to him the aging Shakespeare is here half enchanted by visions of beauty and loveliness and half bored to death Restraint and Dignity Interpret the play as one will it is short on dramatic conflict and long on the imaginative and the poetic Omitting both the profund G S TRYOUTS Chorus tryouts for Gilbert and Sullivan summer productions at Falmouth Mass will be heldbetween 3306 pm and 710 pm Tuesday and 3306 pmWednesday in Room 200 at HallAuditorium Signup sheets are in theConservatory and on the G

speechdepartment Profs Paul Boase R G Gunderson and Charley Leistner selected the six to speak in the final contest ity and the boredom I should say that it is a fantasy with a masque dear to King James and thecourtly circles The present production by The Oberlin DramaticAssociation without the nuptial dance of the nymphs and reapers reduces pageantry and the spectacular to a minimum It rather delivers the piece with a quiet restraint and dignity pleasantly enough in a minor mood The staging is excellent the grassy sands and cavernoustowering rocks of Miss PeggyClymers seacoast sweeping around the apron stage the precise neatness and richness of colors in Mrs Daryle Seils costumes and the magnificent stage pictures andtriangular patterns with Prospero Ariel and Juno variously perched high Mr Alden Ashforths fluent and imaginative music with its expressiveness of wonder andenchantment and its recollections of Elizabethan airs makes fine use of harpsichord woodwinds andrecorders Acting Uniformly Good The acting is uniformly good Among the shipwreckedNeapolitan noblemen Mr RichardMcPhee creates a memorablysupercilious and perfidious Antonio and Mr Ellis Santone a limpingidealistic old Gonzalo The slight roles of instant lovers Miss Janet Reed as Miranda and Mr Tom Shibona as Ferdinand read with ease The antics and the conspiracy ofCaliban Trinculo and Stephano Mr Richard Rice Mr James Whitely and Mr David Rupp expertlyrealize with the audienceimmediately responding to their clowning Reflective WiseMan Mr Michael Kasdans Prospero always sensitive to the import and the contrasts in the lines stresses the aging reflective wiseman rather than the magician in the pback to the discretion of the Com mittee Acting on its authority the Committee made minor changes so that the car rule now reads Students are forbidden to own or operate automobiles during the academic year The former wording was in term time Academic year is defined as all periods of the year from the day classes begin in September until the end of the examination week in June exept the Christmas and Spring vacations This rephrasing makes the old ruling moreexplicit Joint Discipline Committee also incorporated changes in theFaculty Ad Hoc Committeesrecommendations of last Decemberregarding Legislation Procedure and Policy Relating to the Use of RESERVE BOOKS Students who remain

vivacitysprightliness and joy sets the mostrewarding tone for the play as an imaginative fantasy On Wednesday evening there were two curtain calls onThursday five The DramaticAssociation in this
