Plays Performed
InHershey
On October 10th, the Repertory Theatre Ensemble
performed “Arsenic and Old Lace" by Joseph Kesselring.
The Repertory Theatre Ensemble is currently alternating
“Arsenic and Old Lace” and two oneact plays, “The Dumb
Waiter” and Lanford Wilson’s “Ludlow Fair.”
The setting and atmosphere of “Arsenic and Old Lace”
were ideal. But the action soon grew dull. Alvin Schnupp’s
portrayal of Mortimer Brewster lacked expressive feeling; it
was too mechanical. Ronald McNally, who played
Mortimer’s brother Jonathan, made Schnupp look super.
' The Brewster sisters’ portrayals by Agnes Cummings and
Susan Boulmetis were flawless. Their every movement and
gesure brought this drab production a spark of life. The
supporting cast notably endowed with the special talents of
Lenni Rudolph, Randall Disend, Terry Hartzell, Curt
Hostetter, Jeff Glickman, and R. Paul “Teddy” Gearhart.
The players should concentrate on one production at a
time. Overall, “Arsenic and Old Lace” was not pleasing. The
third show of the season, “The Price” by»Arthur Miller, will
open October 17th. For information and reservations call
534-1637.

Keep Tabs
On Tabs
When you pull the tab off
your aluminum can of beer
or soda, don't immediately
drop it into the can. People
who are intoxicated have
been known to ingest the
ring-tabs and lose them to
their stomachs or lungs.
The procedure of dropping
ring-tabs into full cans of
beer or soda was advised by
environmentalists as a
means of reducing litter and
protecting wildlife. Doctors
suggest that the tab be
placed in a pocket or on a
finger and later dropped
through the slot of the can
when empty.

George Britton
P f in Here
Since this past July 4th, all America has been making
preparations for its two hundredth birthday. So in keeping
with the national spirit, Capitol Campus has launched the
first in its series of Bicentennial programs with the rollicking
and sometimes ribald performance of colonial american
songs as sung by George Britton.
Britton displayed his virtuosity on October 7th in the
auditorium before a small but appreciative audience.
Included in his program were folk songs, lute songs and
classic guitar. They ranged from such early popular songs
as “Barbara Allen” and “Greensleeves” to a folk song of
Britton’s own creation.
Attired in clothing of the colonial period, Britton merged
authenticity of sorig with dress. Adding to the overall
colonial image was the stage set, built by Capitol Campus
student, Harry Nugent.
Britton has been teaching music in Reading, Pa. for 30
years. Already a long-time performer, he plans to travel the
United States during this bicentennial year presenting
various types of musical programs relating to the nation’s
birthday.
The poor attendance for this fine performance was
commented on and a desire for more participation was
expressed. The Cultural Committee and activities
coordinator, Roberta McLeod, have planned a program of
other performers in the arts, and lecturers to help Capitol
Campus celebrate the bicentennial.

International
Students On
Campus
cont. Irom pg. 1
Also, I like the interpersonal
relationships that a small
school gives. It is very easy
for me to make friends.”
While the adjustment to
Capitol may be considerably
easier for some international
students, for others it may
cause problems.
According to Marian
Kriegar from the Counseling
Center, “One on my main
problems of adjusting to a
new environment. There jg
loneliness that is involved.
Having to adjust to a new
country and, on top of that, a
new school, is difficult.”
“However, from con
versations with some of the
international students this is
not their first exposure to the
United States. They have
been to other schools in this
country,” Kriegar said.
“When it comes to
counseling the international
student, I would counsel
them the same as I would
any other student. People
are people. We all get
lonely , ” said Kriegar.
“If one international
student came to me for
counseling and I didn’t have
an answer, I would refer
them to someone who would
have the answer. We have
international faculty who
could help students from
their own countries,” Kriegar
said.
Another problem facing
the international student
here is the language. Some
students are confused by the
way Americans speak their
language.
“My biggest problem is
the way Americans speak
English,” said Heshnat. “I
learned English the way they
speak it in England. The
accent is very different over
here.”
Still another problem for
the international student is
transportation. Many of
them cannot drive, and this
presents a problem for the
"When the weather is bad
it is very inconvenient for me
to get around." Kong said.
“When I need things from
the store I have to bother my
roommate. I really don’t like
doing that."
One way the international
students can help solve
the problems facing the
international students is by
extending themselve.s.
“Make an effort to be
friendly,” said Kriegar.
“People in a new environ
ment are hesitant about
coming up to you them
selves.”
And, one thing that the
international students
should remember is your
fantasies, ideals, and mis
conceptions about America
are different than reality.
You can’t expect things to be
as they are at home,” said
Subramanian.
