Ibsen's 'Ghosts Makes Audience Gasp By DAVID SAMUELS A Penn State audience—whose dramatic tastes have, been on the lighter side—gasped ut the grue some spectacle of a man's mind slowly deteriorat- L That is ample proof that the Penn State Players' interpretation of Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts" last night in Sclnyab Auditorium was truly of profes sional calibre. Few amateur—and even profes sional—dramatic companies attempt Ibsen's fabu lous picture of a fabulous monster, half Nietzsche and half Dr. Frank Crane. It is difficult to believe that . only 30 years ago American audiences were so insipid that they branded Ibsen as a cheap, shocker and pornogra pher. Throughout the two-hour performance, Director Cloetingh maintained an air of utter and absolute Phys Ed Program 12=1=2 Marine The United States Marine Corps, which proudly claims that "We have fought in every clime and place where we could take a gun," will send an examining ~ b oard, headed by Captain Page, to the campus Monday to interview stu dents more than 17 years of age and those who will not be' more than 27 when they graduate from the College, for enlistment in the Marine Officer Reserve Corps. Captain Page will begin inter viewing candidates at 8:30 Monday morning, December 7—one year and three hours after the Japanese attack on Pearl •iarbor.

Dr. Ritenour Reports Increase In Illness A sharp increase in the number of cases treated. at . the infirmary and . dispensary during November has been reported by the College Health Service. The upward trend has been at tributed by Dr. Joseph P. Ritenoue, director of the College Health Service, to a prevalence of influ_ enza on campus. Compared with a• corresponding period last year when 1173 cases were cared for, a total of 1725 students received treatment at the dispensary during last month. To say that Bob Herrman ably handled the dif ficult role of Oswald Alving slipping into drool ing horror would be understatement. Enough su perlatives also cannot be foynd for Joanne Pal mer's portrayal of his mother, Mrs. Alving. She truly played the greatest role of her Player career. Robert Leibacher stole the show as the rapscal lion, Jacob Engstrand, judging from the spontane ous applause at his provocative performance in the second act. As the vivacious hoyden, Regina, Dorothy Koush was a "natural." The Players should find her a valuable asset for next year's productions.

The present set-up, which in, eludes a two-hour gym period with an additional one-hour per iod of swimming, hygiene or cal esthenics, will .be dismissed and the new program started in Jan. uary. Alterations in the fitness pro gra►n were made so that students could have classes spread through out the week, instead, of bunching the hours together within a fewi days. The new plan gives students two one-hour gym periods week ly, with another hour of hygiene of swimming for freshmen and first semester sophomores. See= and semester sophomores who have already taken two semesters of swimming and one of hygiene will automatically schedule an ex tra hour of calesthenics. An original suggestion includes three hours spread out evenly through the week and another hour of swimming or hygiene. This Plan. fell, through • when • • it • was found that a college ruling pre vented the scheduling of more than three hours of class for a one credit course. A recommendation that juniors and seniors be required. to take physical education was dropped because -of , the lack of locker and shower facilities: . • 'At present 2288 clothes bask ets are • available with - 2280 of them being used: The 430 lock ers are also ordinarily filled daily. "More than twice the number of faculty lockers used last year have been occupied this semester. This together with the 25% increase in the use of the gym makes it im possible to expand the physical fitness program," said Glenn N. Thiel, assistant professor of phy sical education.
