Arena Theater Is Gift (This is the fourth in a series of discussions concerning sug gestions for the senior class gift.) There may be an arena theater on main campus in the near fu ture. And if the senior class votes to devote its gift fund to its con struction, it would be desigrr‘d by the nation's top expert in central stage drama and would be 20 years ahead of any other such theater in the world. Kelley Yeaton, professor of dra matics and number-one authority on arena-type productions, has designed a flexible transportation theater which could be disassem bled and reconstructed in short periods of time. Besides his basic arena design, various other theater forms—including the conventional Elizabethan auditorium—could be constructed from it in a matter of hours. Translucent curtains would surround the audience, facilitating environmental poducticin meth- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Eisenhower To Speak At Luncheon President Milton S. Eisenhower will address a combined luncheon of Philadelphia C ouncil of Churches and. Philadelphia Busi nessmen today at the Bellevue- Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia.

A spokesman said the Prexy hopes to make the two-day trip by air, but in the case of- bad weather he will go by automobile. In Philadelphia he will talk to business = leaders and representa tives of some 1600 churches of 35 denominations. Title of his talk will be "A Measure of Faith." Dr. Eisenhower will stress the need for a living religion in the free world's fight against communism. His speech at the Beaver Col lege centennial will'be laudatory to the institution and to the stan dards it has upheld during the past `lOO years. He will ask Amer ican colleges to be more concern ed with the development of char acter and give attention to per sonal growth as well as profes sional development.

Open Houses Called 'Successful' This Year The open houses, sponsored by school councils and Reserve Of ficers' Training Corps groups, were the most successful in sev eral years, according to commit tee chairmen. Students, townspeople, parents, high school students, and visitors attended in large groups during the day, chairmen said. High school students and par ents received guida'nce from fac ulty members' and students in an swering questions concerning curriculums. ::as such as shadow projections. Also a chase, constructed around the audience area, would provide for dramatic action outside the central stage area. A chorus or special lighting effects may also surround the entire theater audi torium'. One special feature of the pro posed theater would be stereo phonic sound, experimented with two years ago in the Players' production "The Gentle People." It stems from several areas in the theater and provides for more audible and realistic speech and sound effects. TUB Could House' Stage The committee supporting the theater as' a senior gift proposal suggests that since the Tempor ary Union Building would be vacated after the new Student Union is complete, it would be an ideal location for the project. Rich a r d Neuweiler, chairman, maintains that there have been alumni proposals to erect a per manent structure to house the College Sets June 4 As Graduation Date College commencement exercises have been set tentatively for 10:30 a.m. June 4, in Beaver Field, if-the weather permits. Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student-affairs, said in the event of inclement weather exercises will be held in Recreation Hall in two divisions, one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 2 p.m. If inside exer cises must be used, he said, they will be announced that morning over radio station WMAJ. ' If commencement is held in side, four schools will be grad uated at each time. At 10:30 a.m. the Schools of Education, Home Economics, Liberal Arts, an d Physical Education will receive degrees. At 2 p.m. the Schools of Agriculture, Chemistry and Physics,. Engineering, and Mineral Industries Speaker for the ceremonies will be Clarence Manion, former dean of the College of Law of Notre Dame University. He served as dean from 1941 to 1952 and pres ently is a partner in the law firm of Doran and Manion in South Bend, Ind. He is the author of a book "Key To, Peace." Kenworthy said more informa tion as to procedure to be fol lowed at the exercises will be an nounced later and detailed 'in structions will be given to each participating student. Town Independent Men To Get Picnic Tickets • Free tickets for Saturday's pic nic at Whipple Dam State Park, sponsored by Town Council, are available to town independents at the Student Union desk in Old Main. Students will be asked to fill out a questionnaire concerning a program of council activities for next year when they pick up tickets. • Possibility theater within the near ' future. One of the main reasons for proposing the theater is that the present Center Stage is too far out of the way for most of the student body. Many students have never seen an arena production, because they don't know where Center Stage is. And even if they did know, Neuweiler said, they probably wouldn't go because of its location. Advantage to Players Advantages to Players, campus dramatic group, would also be valuable. With the , present •loca tion, rehearsals cannot take place at Center Stage, in fact, the arena is open only two nights a week. Having an arena theater on cam pus, might mean the creation of a special arena dramatics course taught by Yeaton. Arena-theater is a highly orig inal art form. Having it on main campus would not only effect dramatics groups, but all theater lovers and students who enjoy central-stage productions.
