Harpsichord, Mime
Star in 'Counterpart 7
Frans Reynders, mime, and Herman Chessid, harpsi
chordist, will appear in “Counterpart,” a program of music
and pantomine March 19 in Schwab Auditorium.
A miipe is a kind of drama in which scenes from life are
imitated and generally represented in a satirical manner. The
person who acis out this drama'
is known as a mime.
Frans Reynders studied panto
mine with Etienne Decroux, who
also taught Marcel Marceau and
Jean Louis Barrault. As a mem
ber of Decroux’ troupe, Reynders
toured Europe and Great Britain
ant! later starred in musical com
edy in his native Holland.
Former Art Teacher
Reynders, a former art teacher
and scenic designer, has always
bad a love of music and the harp
sichord. He long felt that the
harpsichord and its literature
would provide the ideal auditory
world in which he could perform
his mimes.
After coming to the United
States with his American wife, he
sought to put his idea into
actuality.
Reynders was brought into con-1
tact with Herman Chessid, harp
sichordist and former pupil of i
Ralph Kirkpatrick. Chessid real
ized, that by working with Reyn
■ders, harpsichord music could be

come accessible to a much larger
audience.
In addition to Chessid’s practi
cal experience as a recording and
performing artist, his background
in composition enabled him to
clarify musical forms to Reynders
in a manner which could be used
as a basis for conceiving mimes,
both abstract and narrative. The
nature of this duo emphasizes the
equality of each medium.
Music is *Mirrored*
Thus, while the mime is en
hanced by a new dimension, the
music, in turn, becomes “mirror
ed” in its human “counterpart.”
A program might, for example,
include the selection Prelude and
Fugue in D Minor from Bach
with the mime acting out the
theme of “The Bird.”
BX Candidates to Meet
Candidates for the Book Ex
change will meet at 7:30 tonight
in 215-216 Hetzel Union. First,

dents are eligible.

Nittany Council
Plans Inquiry
Nittany Council Monday night
set in motion plans to investigate
its alloting of $lO a semester to
each dorm for social affairs.
Mel Weaver, council president,
pointed out that the special allot
ment is not always put to.its best
use. The money should be used
for mixers and other activities to
aid relations between coeds and
men of the Nittany dorms, Wea
ver said during a meeting Monday
night.
Weaver appointed a committee
to look into the situation with a
possibility of setting up a more
definite plan for issuing the
money.
The council also planned to re
vise its constitution.
Eng Council OK's
Open House Study
The Engineering Student Coun-.
cil last night set up a committee
to study with department heads!
of the College of Engineering andj
Architecture the possibility of;
holding an open house this spring.!
The council had sponsored open]
houses in past years, but none
was held last year. The council
suggested that the engineering'
honorary societies might use the
open house for their spring proj
ects.
Williamson--
(Continued from page one)
firmation had he known of the
two salaries.
Mahany questioned "just how
much part-time work” Dr. Wil
iliamson would be able to do at
.the University on weekends as he
said was his plan.
Sen. Yosko (D.-Northampton)
made it clear that he would cast
no more votes for confirmation of
“out-of-staters” to high Pennsyl
vania posts.
Dr. Williamson has been af
filiated with industry in other
states before coming to the Uni
versity. However, he has been a
registered Republican voter in
Pennsylvania for three years.
“I want to make it clear that
I'll go along with no more carpet
-baggers,” Yosko said. “It might
be well to keep college professors
where they belong —in the col
leges.”
Athletic Insurance—
(Continued from page one)
McCoy said he couldn’t answer
that now.
McCoy thought that the bill
might have been introduced be
cause of a case in California
where the higher courts awarded
a football player about $400,000
because of injuries he received in
a high school game. The bill
would thus protect state-support
jed schools from being sued for
'such large amounts.
