Lander College in Greenwood
has reached a crossroads in its
expansion.
The only county owned and op
erated college in the United States,
spiraling costs per student are
forcing a search for additional
funds. The college has expanded
its enrollment 10 to 12 per cent
per year for the last several years.
One source, says Sen. John
Drummond, D-Greenwood, is af
filiation with the University.
Before any decision is made by
the county's legislative delega
tion, they want to confer with
the state Higher Education Com
mission.
Lander's President Don Herd
outlined the possible sources of
funds as higher student tuition
and fees, higher tuition and fees
for out of county students, a
larger county levy or appropria
tion, contract training of certain
students with the state, state af
filiation, affiliation with one of the
state universities or several of
these.
But the state legislature is de
bating the future of the state's
universities, colleges and regional

"We'll follow their (the legis

are no easy answers."
"It could become state affili

ties," said Drummond. "It's a
fully accredited college. I'd like
to see it become another state
college."

penditures funded by revenue bond
issues. They pay the same prices
as Greenwood County students.
The $200 differential for out of

- Theatre Review
Play 'Sparkles'
By Dale Ramsey
The University Theatre's production of Dylan Thomas'
"Under Milkwood" bears a comfortable resemblance to last
semester's "The Rimers Of Eldritch." Both are glimpses of
life in a small town, admirably staged with a verstile cast
amid practical and moderately expressionistic settings; both
are perhaps excessively literary and thus a challenge to the
director's resourcefulness, and both exist principally as a
series of fleeting impressions of persons, now alive in the
spotlight, now gone, like sparkles off of water. The differ
ence is that "Under Milkwood" sparkles more.
True, the Dylan Thomas play is the lighter of the two.
However, it was not conceived for the stage (I am told), and
therefore it runs the risk of becoming a strain upon the
audience if the charming lyrics are to be appreciated, which
they must be. But they cannot stand by themselves and
succeed as theatre. Although they certainly seem to stand,
in fact, on their tiptoes, in the University Theatre's rendi
tion. I am saying, of course, that the audience is enticed to
savor the author's poetry and is never taxed.
Everyone in the cast gives a vivid and sensitive per
formance, and both cast and crew display a mastery of the
skill of precision timing. For all one can tell, a different
actor is employed to play each different character, but for
seventy-five characters only nineteen actors are used, one
of them performing as many as six roles.
Naturally they cannot be individually commended here,
but should be commended as a group that functions together
most effectively.
In addition to the many characters, two "voices" are
present on the stage which constantly bring our view of a
small Welsh town on a spring day into sharp focus. Dennis
Yount, whom we know only as the first and most frequent
voice, deserves special mention here, for it is he who estab
lishes and sustains the mood of the play. Carried by his
flawless diction and cordial delivery, and punctuated by the
mere turn of his head, the lyrics never sag.
Both Yount and Miss Sally Ann Smith, the other voice,
have committed to memory an overwhelming quantity of
verse, and basic though such comment sounds, to realize
is to marvel at their achievement.
The crowning touch of "Under Milkwood," startling as
it may seem, is the curtain call after the close of the play.
The cast is assembled on stage in an ingenious "tableau
vivant," to reaccent the play's quality as well as to receive
the applause the performers so highly deserve.
