Housing Change: Rest Easy A change in the system of room assignment has caused some apprehension on the part of Wc-st Halls residents. However, from what we can discover these fears are slightly exaggerated. This year’s system will set back the date when West Halls residents find out their exact room assignment for next fall. This has dis turbed some, since they fear they may find themselves without a room come July. This possibility is indeed a long shot, though, according to the information given us by Fran cis H. Cordon, room assignment officer. Upperclassmen who have had the average and the desire to live in the West Halls have an excellent chance of being placed just there. According to Gordon not one in the last three years, who fills the requirements, has failed to get a room in West Halls. There are 250 rooms for upperclassmen available for next year in West Halls. By way of explanation, the change in the room assignment system came as a courtesy to fraternities. Gordon said that all officials in volved agreed that matters would be facilitated if the date for room assignment would be set back. In the past complications have arisen from the fact that fraternity pledges are forced to break dorm contracts ana many times housing regulations have made this difficult in view of the fact that the students had to sign up for Good Showl "TO THE EDITOR: After sitting through a per formance of the Thespian production “Guys and Dolls,” I have drawn two conclusions; First, the show was a smash hit. Second, Collegian Theatre Critic Pat Hunter knows less about reviewing plays than Napoleon did about playing ping pong. Since I have had a considerable amount more newspaper experience than Miss Hunter, I feel qualified, after reading her review, to comment on and correct Miss Hunter's opinions of the play. Gerald Denisof’s portrayal of Sky Maslerson was a job of perfection: Sylvia Guycr’s imper sonation gave me the impression that perhaps the part of Miss Adelaide was written for her; Paula Zeller did an unparalleled piece of work In her performance as the lovable Sarah Brown. I thoroughly disagree with Miss Hunter’s re mark that Ted Pauloski, in the role of Nathan Detroit, gave a weak performance. The charac ter of Nathan Detroit, as created by the incom parable Damon Runyon, does not require a great deal of serious acting. Perhaps Miss Hunter thinks that the lightheartedness of that par- Nathan's Defender TO THE EDITOR: In regards to Pat Hunter’s critique of “Guys and Dolls” cast in the April 5, 1957 Collegian; We voice our objections to the unfair criticism stated in this issue. Miss Hunter do“s not seem to distinguish sincere acting from parrotting. Ted Pauloski in the role of Nathan Detroit was probably one of the finest of the actors and most likely stole the show. However, Miss Hunt er had the audacity to state, “the weakest in the four leading roles was Theodore Pauloski as Nathan Detroit.” Does Miss Hunter know what “His interpreta tion" as the manager of the “oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York” AGRICULTURE STUDENT COUNCIL, 7 p.m., SIS Hetxel Union AIM JUDICIAL BOARD OF REVIEW. 8:45 p.m.. 212 Hetxel Union COLLEGIAN PROMOTION STAFF. 6:45 p.m., 10S Willard XIELXA SIGMA PI.

If a pledge or a man who decided to move downtown at the last minute wanted to break a dorm contract in the fall he was faced with the prospect of forfeiting his room deposit and/or getting someone to fill the room he would have been occupying (in the case of Nittany or Pollock rooms.) Gordon said the July announcement was something of an approximation. The housing department will try lo get the final room assign ments out before July. All the freshman appli cations are usually in before that time, he said. The West Halls area is mainly for freshmen— thus accounting for the relatively small number of upperclass rooms which are available. Gordon admitted that the change poses some what of a problem for the housing department, but that if it would ease some problems with breaking dorm contracts, it would be worth trying.- He also emphasized the fact that the hous ing will guarantee every student a room who wants one next fall. So no one needs be faced with this unsettling prospect. Thus it would seem that students who are worrying about being left holding the bag in July need not worry. The odds are the best that they will get what they want in the room assignment draw. ticular role makes it weak. Perhaps it does! But Mr. Pauloski carried his part marvelously in my estimation and I believe you’ll find my opinion backed by the audiences who saw the play. Benny Southstreet is a typical Runyon figure with a chronic personality and he was over characterized by Alfred Klimcke. If Miss Hunter has read any Damon Runyon at all she will realize that Mr. Runyon effectively over-empha sized personality traits and that Mr. Klimcke did it on stage for the genuineness of the part "Guys and Dolls" was sensational when you consider the combined effort put forth by a group of students you cannot rightfully single out an individual and say that he (or she) was weak. Thespians receive only satisfaction for the time sacrificed, so why cut them up and discourage them on opening night? I see Miss Hunter also serves as the Col legian Feature Editor. I suggest she stick to writing features —Jerry McGinnis Ed. Note—Miss Hunter has read Runyon, does lake drama courses and how is it possible to "correct an opinion?" should be? It seems to us that his interpreta tion filled every requirement of an excellent portrayal of one of Damon Runyon’s most lov able characters. From what we have heard from everyone who saw the show—and we have asked numerous people—Nathan Detroit overwhelmed the audi ence and captivated their hearts. If Miss Hunter wishes to go on criticizing Thespian productions, we suggest she take a course in drama.
