Players to Present
'Rainmaker Tonight
How a Western family is affected by the appearance of
a "rainmaker" during a time of drought is the plot of "The
Rainmaker," which will be presented at 8 p.m. tomorrow and
Saturday night at the Extension Conference Center.
It will continue on successive Friday and Saturday nights
through Nov. 19.
Tickets are on sale for $1 at the
Hetzel Union desk.
The Penn State players, dra
matics group, are producing the
play, which is the first Center
Stage show of the semester. Cen
ter Stage productions are arena
type theater plays.
A world of drama techniques
opened at the University with the
initiation of arena-type staging
in 1946.
Range in Productions
Center Stage productions have
ranged from Broadway hits to
classics. Among the recent plays
were such New York successes
as "Bell, Book, and Candle," "The
Corn is Green," "Children of
Darkness," "On Approval," "The
Moon Is Blue," "Pick Up Sticks,"
"Gentle People," 'Biography,"
and "You Can't Take It With
You."
Classical dramas and comedies
presented were Ibsen's "Hedda
Gabler," Oscar Wilde's "The Im
portance of Being Earnest," and
George Bernard Shaw's "Major
Barbara." The group also pre
sented a work of the famous Irish
dramatist, Sean O'Casey, "Juno
and the Paycock."
Roster Includes Three
In addition to "The Rain
maker," this year's roster in
cludes "Picnic," "The Alchemist,"
and "The Lady's Not for Burn
ing."
Players will also present "The
Mikado" and "An Inspector Calls"
at Schwab Auditorium.
As its name implies, Center
Stage presents its plays in the
center of the auditorium with
the audience grouped around it.
Darkness is the only curtain, and
the lights are turned out between
scenes.
Players was first organized in
1919. Since then its repertory has
been a varied one. The plays have
ranged from a Greek drama by
Sophicles to a Broadway hit such

program, will also present a few
"minor recommendations," Moor
head said.
Four delegates who attended
the National Student Association
Congress this summer at the
University of Minnesota will pre
sent their report at tonight's meet
ing. On Sunday, Cabinet will meet
in the assembly hall of the Hetzel
Union building to hear a report
by Ray Farabee, vice president
of the student government
branch of NSA, on the organiza
tion. In two weeks, Cabinet will
decide whether or not to affil
iate with NSA, Seely mid.
Cabinet will also decide whe
ther to sponsor and finance the
trip of a member of the body to
the United Nations Assembly. If
more than one member wishes to
go, and Cabinet approves that ac
tion, the names will probably be
placed in a hat for selection, Seely
said. Last year, Millie McGowan,
Women's Recreation Association
president, made the trip.
An amendment to Cabinet's
constitution, providing for a seat
on the body if one of its members
is absent, will be read by Philip
Beard, All-University secretary

'Scalpers' Reported
Student "scalpers" are report
edly selling their tickets for as
high as $2O.
By selling their tickets, students
are not only breaking University
and revenue laws, but are also
demonstrating "a lack of school
spirit," McCoy said.
The words "not transferable"
are printed on the regulation AA
book. However, the warning is
not on the special tickets.
Official Receives Calls
Edward M. Czekaj, AA ticket
manager, said he received calls
as early as last month from per
sons who had purchased tickets
from students. He said they want
ed to know whether the tickets
would be honored at the gate.
AA officials have asked stu
dents to notify their office of any
one who is selling tickets, espe
cially at high prices.
Extra guards and policemen
will be on duty at the game to
cope with the expected sell-out
crowd, McCoy said.
