Despite a rather slow begin ning, and gimmicky ending more designed to satisfy a capricious King Louis XIV than the laws of dramatic motivation, Moliere's 300-year old vehicle packs more riotous, risque humor, more bit ing satire into five short acts, than a good many outstanding modern, humorists. Outstanding Performances Players' production of "Tar tuffe" is enhanced by two really outstanding performances-each on the male and female side. Jay Broad's strutting, pious interpretation of Tartuffe makes him the symbol of hypocrisy Mo liere obviously Meant him to be. Broad satirizes his character, al most parodies him, and sets before his 20th century audience a really laugh-provoking Tartuffe. ' Lee Stern's Orgon, Tartuffe's benefactor who is hoodwinked, swindled, and almost cuckolded by the hypocrite, is another ex tremely well-done, and . f unny characterization. The acting, of, course, is broad; Orgon is as much the archetype of rock-ribbed gul libility as Tartuffe is of shrewd double-dealing, Stern has caught this,essentiaLef the play's...humor . ....,,.,, 4 oc -, Ei tt itg (~.,,,,?. .. .-..g..',7 1 ; Gil rgi ttt i ,%,.)„,-4, VOL. 52, No. 53 STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1951 Broader ROTC Deferments Set Harshbarger To Speak In Chapel The Rev. Luther Harshbarger, College chaplain, will speak on "An Expectant Silence". at 10:55 a.m. tomorrow in Chapel. The Rev. Harshbarger says that the silence of the present gen eration should be expected, not so much as silence of desperation as one of suspense. It is expectant in that, once the encrustation of the past is outgrown, this gener ation can recover a sense of des tiny. This sjlence, Harshbarger •says, is true of most great periods af ter conflict in history, particu larly of the New Testament per iod, which saw the ,corning _of Jesus. This Sunday will inaugurate the Advent and Christmas sea sons in the Chapel program. The celebration of Christmas started in the Christian church about 375 A.D. and the celebration of the Advent season as preparation. for Christmas-began in the fifth cen tury. During this season it very old custom to read portions of Isaiah as well as the nativity story. • 'Advent hymns' will be'used; as well as appropriate music by the Chapel choir. Under the direction of Willa Taylor, the choir. will sing "To Thee; Jehovah, Will' I Sing Praises" (B a c h), "Emitte, Spiritum Tuum" (Schuetky), and "Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord" (Mendelssohn). George Ceiga, . organist, will play. "Verse t de Procession" (Boellmann) as the prelude, "Pas torale from Christmas Offertory" (Builmant) as the offertory, and "Grand Choeur" (Mac Master) as the postlude. Kappa Delta Rho will send the Chapel flowers and attend the service en masse.

' Mrs. Rosenberg's, aides, the report continued, said the memo randum told the Army it could order local draft boards to defer up to 129,000 men in ROTC units. Under the previous set-up, a Penn State -ROTC spokesman said the ROTC could merely rec• ommend deferments for its stu. dents from the draft board. Congress last year gave the secretary of defense the right to order the deferments and to set deferment quotas for 'the various services, the AP said. There was no indication whether the new development would affect Air Force ROTC men. 1700 in "Army ROTC Before Thursday's order, the number the Army could order de ferred was somewhat lower than the number -enrolled in the pro gram, the AP continued. This al lowed the draft boards 'to take some students who were in the units. Col. Lucien E. Bolduc, profes sor of military science and tac tics, said last .night that. 74 per cent' of the freshmen, 92 per 'cent of the sophomores, and 100 per cent of juniors and seniors in the Army units here were placed on -the deferment list under the previous plan. There are about 1700 students in Army ROTC units on campus and at Penn State centers, he added. The AP said- that since these training units are the. Army's ma ' jor source of officers, it requested the ) defense secretary - ,to change the quotas. There are 237 col leges ,with Army ROTC units: 'Enrollment Lower Than Quota The memorandum said that 53,000 men could• be deferred in the first year of ROTC, 39,000 in the second year, 19,500 in the third year, and 18,000 in. the final year, the press association said.

Helen Jaskol as Elmire, wife Orgon and object of • Tartuffe,:s something less than honorable desires, delivers , another co m pletely polished performance: Her two seduction scenes•• with Tar tuffe are the high points of the show. Use of Gesture Warren Smith's directing is possibly the single item most re sponsible for "Tartuffe's" quality. To an incredible' extent such a play is built• on the gesture that accompanies the spoken line. And from the ludicrous spectacle of Orgon - crawling wildly -across the floor to Elmire's sword-like use of a fan to parry Tartuffe, the Players show draws tremendously and successfully on the use of such accenting gesture.
