The resolution said that the state government's expenses "have be come an excessive burden on the taxpayers of the state"; that "it appears that in some of the higher institutions of learning in the state there is a duplication of training with probable additional cost to the taxpayers; and that while the Gen eral Assembly is desirous of pro viding the youth of the state with every opportunity for education and training, it does believe that this should be done at a minimum cost."

Featured in the play are two uni versity professors, Dr. E. F. Nolan, of the English department, and Dr. H. H. Quint, of the history depart ment; and Jane Brooks Marshall, receptionist at the university. The play opened last Wednesday, Feb. 14, and will run until Feb. 20. The "Hasty Heart" is the story of a young Scotchman, wounded in the war with only a few weeks to live. The course of these last few weeks are such that his attitude toward life is changed. He learns the value of friendship and how to love his fellow man. The "Hasty Heart" played in New York in 1945, where it had a successful season. It is considered the first good war play produced and has been presented successfully by many road and stock companies. John Patrick, the author, drew his characters and incidents from his experiences as a captain in the army during the war. Dr. Quint is playing the part of the British colonel, Dr. Nolan, the orderly, and Miss Brooks, the only woman in the play, portrays the nurse. Other university personnel working behind the scenes are Sparky Elliott, assisting in props, and Carl Vines, assisting in light ing. Scenes From At University By PAT DAVIS "Lord Illingworth! On stage. You're the hero of this play; The sophisticated charmer. Get on stage!" I trembled at those grutf t'Qnes, but screwed up my courage and entered Drayton Hall where the University Players were practicing for their latest production, "A Woman of No Importance." "Who me, Prof.?" queried Mil ler Lide, strolling on stage left. "Who else is Lord Illingworth?" asked Professor Christophersen in those same gruff tones, but now I could see that he was smiling. "How can we start the first act without Lady Caroline?" asked Flora Jefferies who is appearing in the production as Lady Hun stanton, a mid-victorian counter part of Billie Burke. "Barbara Cloyd is always late, but she gets here," muttered Pro fessor Christophersen. "She likes the part of Lady Caroline too well. Besides Barbara carries off that role of the worried married woman cleverly." "Professor Christophersen," I asked, quite the roving reporter with pencil and pad handy to take dowvn his every wordl, "when is this play ?" "Hurrumph! The play ? On March 8th and 9th, here at Dray ton Hall." "It's being sp)onsored by Alpha Kappa Gamma" added Miller Lide. "Good evening, everybody," rasped Barbara Cloyd as she bounced dlown the aisle from the rear~ of the theater. "Haven't you started this famous Oscar Wilde drama yet?" "No, we're wvaiting on you," the director remarked. "Nowv let's go. Act One." Right before my very eyes, the bare drab stage was suddenly alive wvith peop)le dragging chairs and tables from the wvings and shout ing to one another. Soon there was in spirit a late nineteenth century drawing room, if not in actuality.

The program is under the leaderfhip of M. F. Stough and Gene Robinson. Vespers are held in the chapel every Sunday evening at 7:15. Backstage Theater speak, the lines from Wilde's pen, I was transported back about 65 years. Back into the charming Eng lish society where Lady Stutfield (Mary Kate Strother) can say to Lord Iljqpwortt "Everyone I know says you are very very wicked, Lord Illing worth." And is he offended? No, he merely answers in his habitual bored tone: "It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one behind one's own back that are absolutely and entirely true!" Practice progresses with a few interruptions such as: "Oh, is it my line?" "I knew that sentence last night." "Sit down on stage left, Hester." (Sarah Gleaton). "Don't turn your face to the audi ence, they'll all go home." "Where's the place ?" And so on through the first act of "A Woman of No Im portance" which sets the scene for a dramatic and surprising second act.
