reasons that determine in part
Cabinet actions, those actions may
seem reason-less to many stu
dents. Thus Cabinet sometimes ap
pears to 'take the rap' for admin
istration members and sometimes
seems to be acting counter, to the
students' interests without good
reason."
Concerning this "buffer posi
tion," Allen stated, "Mr.' K.Cller's
statement about the 'buffer effect'
played by Cabinet is to a certain
degree true. On the other hand,
however, Cabinet is primarily the
_medium of: action between the
Student body and the administr.9.=
tion.
• That was its function when the
present 'student government was
set up under , the tenure of the
late `Prexy' Ralph Dorn Hdtzel
and the present Dean Emeritus of
Men, Arthur R. Warnock, and that
is still its function," he declared.
, In Agreement
"In regard •to a College presi
dent," Allen continued, "I know
every 'one agrees with Mr. Keller
and the many articles that have
appeared in Collegians to . the
effect that we need a permanent
president. But that'd no assurance
that more definite policies and de
cisions will be made by the ad
ministration," he , observed.

Mike Kesdekian's interpreta
tion of the difficult play helps
make the performance more en
joyable and he keep's the atmos

amused. Although there is much
depth to the play, it is by no

William Saroyan wrote "The

night's audience agreed he would
find 'it difficult to disapprove of
Mike Kesdekian's production.
