STUDENT VOICE
by Lynn Popovich and Lisa Hahn For the Student Voice question this week, we asked several students for their reactions to the U.S. retaliation against Iran.
During the incident, which occurred one week ago today in the Persian Gulf, an American observatory helicopter was fired on
Collegian Feature Editors. by Iranians in a speedboat. The U.S. immediately retaliated by blowing at least three of four boats out of the water. Here are
the reactions:

The Behrend Studio Theater has
begun rehearsals for this season's
openers , The Real Inspector
Hound by Tom Stoppard and The
Actor's Nightmare by Christopher
Durang.
The Real Inspector Hound,
copyrighted 1968, is a play within a
play about two critics, one describ
ed as lustful and the other is a
substitute sitting in, who are wat
ching a performance. The
characters in the play are milling
about, unaware of a body lying on
the floor. As the play progresses,
the characters are playing cards
and Inspector Hound arrives. He
stumbles upon the body and the
telephone rings. The 'lustful critic'
gets up from his seat to answer; it is
his wife.' He begins to berate her
for calling him at work. Suddenly
the characters change. The 'lustful
critic' becomes the Inspector, and
the substitute critic takes the place
of the body. While the original In
spector becomes the long lost hus
band to the countess. Suddenly the
play begins all over again. The New
York Post described The Real In
spector Hound as being, "Comedy
satire of dlightful quality, ad
mirably done."
The Actor's Nightmare by
Christopher Durang, copyrighted
1981, is a play abour a stranger(ac
tor) who is elected to replace an ac
tor who, due to a car accident, is
unable to perform. Dressed as
Hamlet, the stranger finds himself
performing a scene from Private
Lives while the other actors begin
performing Hamlet, then another
play by Samuel Becket, and finally
a scene from what seems to-be A
Man For All Seasons. No one is
sure what play they are doing and
