AGE TWO We Visited "A Revised Doll's House" The Player.?' production of Ibsen's "A Doll's house" last weekend showed that while a good Plea in 1879 is still a good idea in 1947, what was considered a good play in .1879 is not necessarily good play for our time. In other words, although thr_• problem of one wrson dominating another is stilt real and vital one, "Doll's House" is a play of- the past and any ruccessful modernization of it would have to be a practically new script. As a period piece it is still worth seeing, but as a "modern" show it somehow doesn't come ta;',l9Ps. .There are probably two chief reasons for this. ~first; the play is constructed too obviously for LP: 4 MM audiences. Second, the idiom into which it has been tzamytted is stiff and artificial. In some rpotS Mr. Cloeting,ll .oimulated the artificiality, 'llia 'in other places the langittAge was - crennttnry unnatural. Progress of AVC's Drive All-College Cabinet has signed a resolution AYacking AVC's drive against racial discrimination. Cabinet signed the resolution , because, as one member said, AVC will find it difficult to go ahead with its program without backing. In agreeing to sign the resolution, a cabinet member stipulated that this action represents the opinion only of Cabinet as a body, and not that of the entire student body. However, it was pointed out that the matter had already been carried back to many of the individual groups represented on Cabinet, so that the backing of those groups also is in- clUded in Cabinet's signing the resolution 'ln a report to Cabinet, AVC's representative,. Martin Light, said that his group plans to secure resolutions in three steps--:from students first, then faculty, and finally townspeople. Signed resolutions, like the one signed by Cabinet, have already been secured from. PSCA. Dean Arthur R.

PENNSYLVANIA In many places, the dialogue hit the audi ence's ear in the wrong way and caused the audience to laugh where laughs were probably not wanted. The strong point of the play lies in its well drawn characters. Nora, Christine, Torvald and all the rest are real people and ones with whom we can sympathize. The actors seemed •to have an Understanding of their roles and gave us good performances, although James Lotz as' Dr. Rank didn't do too %yell in his serious moments.

At the - preceding. cabinet meeting, it had been suggested that AVC' check the legality of the barber shops' refusal to cut Negroes' Light said that the law had been secured, lam that it must be interpreted. The law covers severa specific .public services, but does not mention bar ber shops. Therefore, it apparently would be a matter to be decided by the judge should .a case involving a barber shop be taken to court. AVC will• take the law to a lawyer to discover whether barber shops are among thoSe public services which must serve anyone who is willing to pay for the service; and who is not a nuisance., Light said that no group. meeting with the town barbers had been planned as yet; since AVC must have something definite to show the barbers before meeting\ formally with them. student at Williams $3 for a haircut" was the headline over the article. -The owner of the barber shop was con victed under a little used law 'which forbids any "distinction, discrimination or restriction on account of color or race." The defendant immediately appealed and posted $lOO bond pending action in Berkshire Superior Court at Pittsfield next summer. He also said that he would reopen his barber shop. In his verdict, Judge Ruby asserted that the soldiers of our country "fought to make this • nation safe for you and" me"' and that "the colored boy wasn't told tha± he couldn't fight for his country." Letters incier,entlent Woman TO THE EDITOR: Last week I was present at meeting of the Independent Women's Association and was really surprised at how small the attend ance was. Every member of a sorority or fraternity is re quired to attend group meetings. Independent members, who have an opportunity to express their views voluntarily, and to enter into collegiate activities through the IWA and IMA'meetings, never bother to attend these group discussions or to find out anything about the or ganizations. Many effortS have been made by the IWA to secure new members, but always the same few turn up at the Monday evening meetings. How can we represent the opinions of seven hundred Independent women with twenty mem bers of the IWA? —Sylvia Schenfeld.

It is impossible to calculate the study time wasted by all the male students who at one time or an other try to call a. girl in the dormitories. In order to call a coed in any of these campus dormitories, it is necessary to dial 5051. Of course this number has several trunk lines, but with the tremendous increase in students on the campus, both male and female, isn't it about time the College realized that it is an aggravating situation to wear out your index finger, only to receive an unconsoling.
