Offers Little By DAVE FINEMAN Collegian Drama Critic The only redeeming features of the otherwise downright slow and boring “Boy on the Beach”—w'hich had its public opening Saturday night—were Beverly James and Howard War ren, especially the charming Miss 1 James. The play, which offers little, is faintly the story of an affair be tween a has-been novelist and a Negro girl temporarily working as a maid frhile formulating her plans to attend graduate school. The story is set against the back ground of the shallow summer life of New Yorkers driven by the heat to Fire Island. Woven into the fabric are the problems of a woman exasperated with her husband’s materialism and its'effects on their young hy pochrondriac son. Miss James as Gerry Anderson, the young Negro girl, was a plea sure to see; and in her Crst ap pearance in any Penn State dra- QMpntatt iPITER PENN STATI ins, scheduling officer. j The parties’ privileges were re-j moved, Watkins said, until they! can give some assurance of their: responsibility.

Watkins said S<hwab Audi torium, which was used by Cam pus party, was strewn with cigar ette butts. Smoking is not per mitted in the auditorium. Watkins said several abuses were committed in Sparks Build :ing during the time University party , was responsible for Room [l2l.

Bernard Magdovitz, Campus party clique chairman, referring l to Watkins’ action, said: “I think what was done today was a blow to student govern ment. "Mr. Watkins said I didn't fulfill my leadership responsi bilities when I failed to halt the smoking in Schwab. I asked the people. Peter Fisbbum.

A nonchalance in gesture never overdone blended excel lently with her occasional intense ness of feeling when making the decisions called for in the plot Warren, as Tam—the boy who put the “boy” in the "Boy on the Beach”—was superbly funny [when he was supposed to be and [perfectly the immature 40-year iold, laughed-at has-been novelist who would “finish his novel,” which he had been working at for years, and would "get a job," which everyone knew he would never get Unfortunately, Warren should have attempted to learn his lines a little better before the opening so Miss James would not have had to help him so much. Marvin Katz, as Holman Oli ver, the obsessive materialist showed sporadic signs of a suc cessful performance, but fell out of character too many times not to be disturbing. One obvious in stance of this fault was his broad, silly grin in what supposedly was an angry, storming march through FIVE CENTS No Positions In University Contested Jay Feldstein, junior in arts and letters from Elizabeth, Sunday night became Uni jversity party’s candidate for |AII-University president, one of nine nominees who were written unopposed on the party slate for the spring elections. . About 200 students attended the | meeting: 30 spectators, and 170 ; party members with the power to vote. However, since there was only one nomination for each of fice, no voting was required.

Good control of speech seems to be a minimum thing to expect of Players’ productions; we could not help but be disappointed with Katz’s occasional stumbling over words. Susan Mort in one of the sup porting roles, that of Wanda Lars son, the hardened, globe-trotting divorcee, was a welcome diver sion. Miss Mort’3 timing was al ways excellent in her perfectly in-character sarcasm/' -However, we think possibly the playwright went overboard in making the character just a wee bit too clever. Jane Mort, as Evelyn Oliver, had moments of pleasure to give, but these were too few. Miss Mort has a wonderful voice, but sh# didn’t seem quite up to the less casual scenes in the performance. A degree of seif-consciousness is all too evident in her appearances. William Warthling, a? Frank Walker, passed unobtrusively on and off stage. We liked the set immensely— but then, we always like the sets at Centre Stage.
