To Open
New costumes and an original one-piece set designed by
Joseph Servello, senior in art education from Altoona, will be
used in the Players' production "Iphigenia at Aulis," begin
ning at 8 tonight at Center Stage.
"Iphigenia," a modern French-style
Graves, is the re-telling of the be
ginning of the Trojan War and
Includes gods, goddesses and
Greek mortals.
Obtaining a clear distinction
between' the gods and mortals
was the primary problem in de
signing the costumes and set,
Servello said in an interview.
As this is the first time "Iphi
genie" has been produced, the
set resulted completely from
Servello's imagination.
He described the set as formal,
but not "Greek formal." "It is
not made to look like rocks or
wood, but iust like a theatrical
set," he said.
The set is comprised of a num
ber of wooden blocks covered
with a lavender muslin painted
on the outside edge with a Greek
motif. The blocks wilt be fitted
together to form one spiralling
ramp.
Servello said he was very
conscious of the actors when he
designed the set so that it
would be easy for them to per
form on and aroun dl it. He
is playing the role of Agamen
non.
Th play will be pres
the-round; it is the first
technique has been used
years, Servello explain

adaptation of the G r e e k style.
The most interesting part of de
signing the costumes was giving
the "feeling that the gods are not
as real as the mortals," he said.
SeiVello is currently partici

He has exhibited woodcuts in
a one-man art show in Altoona

Penalized
By Tribunal
Tribunal, with the approval of
the dean of men's office, issued
penalties to two sixth semester
students Wednesday.
One of the students was given
a suspended i suspension from the
University until the end of this
semester and office probation for
the next fall semester.
The student had been given a'
ticket for parking illegally in
front of Cross Hall. He claimed
that the student patrolman had
been "contemptuous" and "over
zealous" while ticketing him. This
angered the student and he threw
the ticket away, put the car in
gear and started to pull out from
the curb. One of the patrolmen
( claims that the student brushed
,him with the car, but caused no
'physical injuries.
This is the student's second ma
jor judicial offense. He was
placed on disciplinary probation
for a semester in 1957. His case
referred to the Senate
si !ommitee on discipline which
must approve the recommenda
tion.
Robert Gabos, junior in busi
ness _ administration from Pitts
burgh, has been placed on office
probation until June.
Gabos was charged by a local '
justice of the peace for going
through a stop sign and going ;
the wrong way on a one-way;
street while under the influence
of alcohol. He was fined $l5O and
,his driving license was revoked
for one year.
Tribunal charged Gabos with
conduct detrimental to the Uni
versity.
