Actors Rehearse Nightly
For 'Guest in the House';
Tickets Go On Sale Monday
Tickets for "Guest in the House," Players' production
to be presented-in Schwab Auditorium, at 8:30 m. August
3. and 4, will go on sale at Student Union Monday.
Meanwhile, the -cast is rehearsing nightly to assure a
pOlidhed . production. Betty Shenk is the smooth sophisticate
required by her leading part as Ann Proctor. Jack Reid emits
witty cliches spontaneously,
giving no sign of long hours
of rehearsal that frequ'ently
produce forced statements rath
er than natural ones.
When Evelyn, the cardiac inva
lid with a psychopathic 'fear of
birds, is shown a caged pet„ both
Marjorie Stout and Margaret
Keefe, who will play the part,
give a frightened, bloodlcurdling
scream that promises to make the
audiences' spines tingle. And as
she glides about the stage in her
'dainty negligee, everyone feels
hate well up inside him while
watching her spin her evil web
and attempt to break up the
Proctor marriage.
Carol Broberg •is giving her
portrayal of Lee, the Proctor's
young , daughter, all the enthus : .
iasm and eagerness of a child who
is play-acting. Watching ' her
prance childishly before the
lights, it is -hard to believe that
she is actually a College coed ra
ther than the ten-year old child.

3 Students Speak
On Liberalism
"Liberalism .... As I Have
Found It" was the theme of the
forum that highlighted the first
assembly meeting this summer of
Common Sense held in 10 Sparks
.on Wednesday.
The speakers who participated
in the forum were Pvt. Robert
Sieves, ASTP• student, who spoke
on his experiences in Germany;
A. E. Wetherford, Negro graduate
student in health education, who
spoke on the racial problem in
this country; and Thorlief lolster,
student, who gave his views on
the conditions in Argentina.
Due to political reasons, Pvt.
Sieves and his parents were forc
ed to leave Germany in 1938, and
through the aid of a liberal chem
ist, they were able to escape to
Czechoslovakia. At this time, Ger
many had invaded the Sudeten
land and was laying the ground
work for the complete occupation
of Czechoslovakia.
Again, through the aid of liber
als, the Sieves managed to leave
before the Nazis moved in and
made their way to Russia, where
they spent ten months. Pvt. Sieves
stated that there was a great deal
of liberalism in Russia, in some
respects. The Russians acknow
ledge no differentiation in race or
religion and find it hard to un
derstand people who do.
A. E. Wetherford started his
speech with the story of a woman
.who, after asking advice as to
how to get rid of the dandelions
in her yard, was told "It's true
that you have a great deal o'
them. I guess the onl ything you
can do is to learn to love them.'
With this as example, Wether
ford said that there, are many
Negroes in the United States ante
that, as a solution to the racia'
