Town f BY DONNA RUSSELL Copy Editor Under the leadership of Paul Kaufman, director of the Town Theatre productions, the Colum bia Stage Production Society will open its season this year on Sep tember 27 with the first in a se ries of six plays to be presented during the coming months. Heading the agenda is the pro duction "Carnival," which is to be staged until October 5. A take-off on the movie "Lily," this musical promises to tickle the ribs of its audience, as well as set the mood for sentiment and sensitivity. For "something just to toss off in their spare time," the Town Theatre will offer to the public its modern version of "Julius Caesar." This show, produced in modern dress, with modern set tings and lines, will run from November 1 to November 9. As Mr. Kaufman stated, "Shakes peare is not to be put on a pedes tal and not touched. Thus he has undertaken this drama with the belief that the theatrical qualities of "Julius Ceasar" can be adapted more fully for the modern day audience. Friday, December 13 will be opening night for "Make Mine Mink," a typically British comedy. The gist of the play concerns five elderly women and a retired cap tain who form a ring of mink stealing thieves. This highly en tertaining production will run through December 21. "Look Homeward, Angel," the play adopted from the novel by TIhomas Wolfe, is to be staged from January 31 until February 8.

Special considera tion will be given applicants who plan to continue study and re search in geology as graduate stu den ts. The grant provides each recipient an allowance of $200 (luring an academic year to aid them in a special research project of their own choosing. Participants usually start out as laboratory technicians and later assist graduate students in geological field work and other research projects. Paralleling each student alloca tion, the Department of Geology receives an allowance of $500 for program support, studient instruc tion and for purchasing additional geological equipment to meet the nleedIs of an expanding research program.
