PAr•T• -"TATO 'Chuck' Shulte to See Results Of Hard Work in 'Tartuffe' By ,TAKE HIGHTON When Players' opens its cos tume comedy "Tartuffe" tomor row night .at Center Stage, Charles J. T. Schulte will see the consumation of eight weeks of long and hard work. Since the beginning of the cur rent semester, "Chuck," costume designer for th e Moliere play, has been trying to make the $2OO Players has spent for costumes into colorful and unusual 17th century clothes. Although the costumes for this first Center Stage show by Play ers in period costume are no t authentic in every, detail of the 17th century garments, Chu c k ha s attempted to capture the "general trend and flavor" of the Moliere era. Costuming Harder Principle reason for not adher ing strictly to the dress of the 17th century is the voluminous, yard-on-yard of ma t er i a l the dresses of the period required. Chuck has attempted to keep the costumes both theatrical and rep resentative of the time depicted. Chuck's task has been made harder simply because the show is being held at Center Stage. Little costuming tricks that can be faked• at Schwab will not work in the Center Stage theater-in the-round. He has to make every costume complete "down to the last button." Chuck, an eighth semester Arts and Letters major, began design ing work 'in a dramatics course. Prior to his costuming for "Tar tuffe" he was the costume de signer for two Players' shows last year, "Lady in th e Dark" and `•`Antigone." In the latter two productions. Chuck displayed his versatility by making the footwear in addi tion to doing the set for the "Lady." To Be in 'Heiress' Acting has been an even big ger contribution of Chuck's to Players. Last year he played in "Shadow and• Substance," "Time of Your Life" and "John Bull's Other Island." At present Chuck is dividing his costume making duties with rehearsals for his role of Doctor Sloper in Players' January pro duction of -"The Heiress." Following graduation in Jan uary, Chuck hopes to fulfill his ambition "to, do acting," Council Names Committees Committees for the School of Chemistry and Physics open house and for revision of the con stitution of the council were ap pointed at a meeting of the Chem istry and Physics student council last night by President Bryson Craine.
