Problems B Many technical innovations and much back stage talent was necessary before Fred Waring's musical "Hear! Hear!" could take to the road. These include everything from collapsible scenery to lighting experts fur the show's "electronic ballet" sequence. , Waring employed Sam Leve, the scenic designer for many Broadway hit shows, to make collapsible sets sturdy enough to survive a 25,000 mile truck tour. A problem of logistics was en countered in moving the ten tons of equipment necessary for the show. Other preparations for the tour such as arranging hotel reser vations, preparing publicity, and other minor details created an other headache in the production of "Hear! Hear!" For the "electronic ballet" se quence of the show. Waring's ex pert in audio problems set to work on microphones and speakers. Waring, together with his music at rangers Harry Simeone, Hawley Ades, Roy Ringwald and Charley Naylor, set to work making new arrangements for the songs in the new pageant. Music copyist Earl Sisson took on a three month's task of copying a "part" of each song for every member of the glee club and orchestra. Last, but not least, the "Penn sylvanians" spent long hours re hearsing the intricacies of an en tirely new production. The result:. February 24, in Recreation Hall— *liearl Heart" weeks. Beard said he thought NSA members would experience no embarassment as the visitors would not be likely to ask ques- tion:- about the NSA structure. He felt they would want to know about the individual student gov ernment groups on campus. He said the NSA visitors would be more likely to ask about the Association of Independent Men and the Inter fraternity Council. "Even if we didn't have NSA at Penn State," Beard said, "we could still hold the convention on campus." McMillan Takes Negative Stand Robert McMillan, senior class president, also questioned the wis- dom of holding the convention here. McMillan said that since the University had just re-installed NSA it might not be ready to take on the burden of hosting an entire region of its members. He was answered by Robert Bahrenburg, junior class presi dent, who said he believed that there was no better way to get INSA off on the right foot than to sponsor regional convention. Bahrenburg m i l d l y rebuffed NSA's opponents by stating that the people who had objected to hosting the convention were hagg ling on small, insignificant points t w _ sequL highlights of the Fred Waring music show:Hear Hear" to . be presented next Friday night in Recreation Hall.

He was to drink a quart of skim milk with them. For two days before the attempt, LaVan ate large meals, trying to stretch his stomach. He ate only breakfast yesterday.
