Players Catch Spirit
Of Elizabethan Era
The spirit of the easy-going 16th century English village was
captured last night in Players' production of "The Merry Wives of
Windsor" by William Shakespeare.
The main plot, concerning the affairs of the lovable "confidence
man," Sir John Falstaff, was an excellent enactment of a duper
being duped.
David Wagoner, portraying Falstaff, gave a wonderful charac
terization of this merry rogue. He
seemed perfectly at ease as the
Ipear-shaped. knight who fancied
himself the desired love of all
women. Speaking in a voice that
seemed accustomed to Shakes
pearian speech, he rolled his r's in
a tone that conveyed to the audi
ence Shakespeare's ideas of un
faithfulness.

Ike Tells U.S.
'Stay Strong
To Stay . Free'
NEW YORK, May 7 (iP)—Pres-
ident Eisenhower said tonight the
- United States `.fmust stay strong to
stay free" and must never pursue
a foreign polic3r which amounts
merely to reaction to the, policy of
other nations.
Addressing a' $lOO-a-plate Re
publican dinner, Eisenhower also
said that in 1949 eminent scien
tists did not dream that the secrets
of this country's atomic weapons
would be lost to others. - •
They did not know, the Presi-
dent added, that the nation had
been "robbed" of security in that
field.
Eisenhower addressed a capaci
ty audience of 1300 persons in the
ballroom of the Astor Hotel on
Times Square. - He went fr o
there to the Waldorf-Astoria Ho
tel for a talk at another $lOO-a
-plate dinner.
Dewey 'hailed the Eisenhower
administration as representing
what he called a return to a
"woodshed honesty in govern
ment." He said the people of the
U.S. have been yearning for that
kind of government for a great
many years and that "at , last they
have it
In talking of world peace, the
President declared no peace can
be sound if it is 'partial and pyr
rhic"—an empty peace.
Referring to the Korean War,'
he said any peace there must be
fair to both the people of Korea
and "to those seeking political
asylum."
That seemed to be a reference
to the 'Communist prisoners of
war who have said they do not
want to be repatriated.

Falstaff, - coming to the small
village of Windsor, is immediately
.struck by the friendliness of two
housewives, Mistress Ford' and
Mistress Page. He misinterprets
their glances and comes to the
conclusion that they are tired of
their present husbands and in love
with him: Planning -to use them to
attach himself to, their husbands' -
money, he sends duplicate love
letters to both by - his brattish
page, Robin..
• They are amazed by his as
sumptions, --and ' upon comparing
letters, decide to make him the
laughing stock of the town.
Mistress .F.o r d and Mistress
Page. are superbly pictured as the
[ conniving . wives by April Hein

I embarressing situations they get,
Falstaff into are hilarious. First,
while courting Mistress Page, he
is conveyed out of her house in
a baSket full of dirty clothes when
the husband suddenly arrives up
on the • scene. Next, he is forced
to dress as an old woman to es
cape,. and finally, he Is subjected
to . pmchings an d ' burnings by
townspeople dressed as elves and
fairies.

The sub-plot concerns the elope-

a young gentleman of the village.
Having been courted by Slender,

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
By PHIL AUSTIN
The vote " came after Robert
Homan, sophomore class presi
dent, moved to, strike the com
pensation, item from the budget
and reserve the $l4O as a budget
surplus. The entire budget, for
$12,300, wag later passed after
I Ronald Lench, secretary of the
Book Exchange board of control,
withdrew a motion requesting
$3OO for the Book Exchange,
which had been• omitted last week
when the 'budget was proposed
by former' All-College Secretary-
Treasurer Richard Rostmeyer.
Chief support of the compensa
tion proposal came from Lincoln
Warrell, president of. the Inter
school Council Board, and Thom
as Schott, president of Interfrat
ernity Council. The proposal was
opposed on the floor -by Jane Ma
son, president of Home Economics
Student Council, David Jones,
chairman of the Board of Publi
cations; and Tom Hahn, chair
man of the Board of Forensics and
Debate.
Hahn Notes Ignorance
Jones referred to a survey made
by the Daily Collegian yesterday
that revealed six of the eight stu
dent council presidents were op
posed to ,the idea of compensa
tion. Warrell told council presi
dents, ".you're, free to change your
vote at any time."
Hahn said nine-tenths of the
students know nothing about stu
dent government leaders' com
pensation. Miss Mason said she
did- not believe the compensation
would get an'r more work:done.
Lench said the $3OO compensa
tion- the BX board would need to
compensate its members could
better be spent for stocks and
Isupplles. Franklin .Kelly, former
chairman of the BX board, said
that he felt the BX and cabinet
might be drawn farther apart by
dropping • the board's compensa
tion. Kelly said the board could
work'without the $3OO if cabinet
would not forget the board - in the
future. A total surplus / of $9OO
in the BX was reported by Lench.
Encampment Report Made
Cabinet approved three ap
pointments for plenary sessions
officials at the second annual stu
dent encampment, Sept. 1042, at
Mont Alto. Lemyre was named
chairman of the sessions, Pegge
Shierson was chosen secretary,
and Myron Enelow was appointed
business manager. -
Edgar Fehnel, chairman of the
encampment committee, told cab
inet that townpeoPle will be in
cluded in the invitations to be
sent out • before the end of the
semester. Fehnel said that dis
cussion workshops will be con
ducted by group dynamics pro
cedure:
In this way, Fehnel explained,
each workshop will have an ob :
server and a 'recorder. After re
cording a half hour's discussion,
it will be read back to the work
shop group to observe what
ground it has covered, he said.
Baker ,will be crowned as May
Queen. Spring Week begins Mon
