Prof Bares Hamilton's 'Unprintables' By MARIAN BEATTY When the Republican party members celebrate Alexander Ham il ton's 200th birthday next month, they are sure to be ignorant of many interest ing, but highly unprintable, details, H. Trevor Colbourn told the Young Democrats Thursday night. Colbourn, an instructor in his tory, told the group that the Re publicans have established a bi centennial committee to honor Hamilton as a founding father of the nation and the Republican party. Since the committee will un doubtedly ignore most of Ham ilton's private life. Colbourn said, he planned to start at the bottom in exposing the idols feet of clay. - The first fault in the celebra tion lies not with Hamilton, he began. but with the committee.

The play, a Spanish tragedy, will be directed by Virginia Gore, graduate student in theatre arts from Burlington, lowa. as partial fulfillment of her grad-1 uate thesis. Miss Gore has also set some of the poetic lines of the play to music, designed the costumes and sets, and created the dance schorel ography. Garcia, author of "House on Bernard Alba" and "Yerma", is noted for his unusual combining of poetry and prose in his play scripts.

In several scenes, Garcia creates a fantastic atmosphere by using the characters such as the Moon and the Beggar Woman to symbolize Life and Death. "Blood Wedding," developes in seven scenes the sense of human fatality, a basic concept in Span-, ish thinking. It is the story of they Bride, who on her wedding.day, leaves the Bridegroom and runs away with Leonardo, the lover in her life.
