The three-act comedy was most entertaining, humorous and delightful. No one performance stood out above the rest as Leon B. Stevens, Esther Benson, Ronald Bishop, and in some scenes Ken Evans turned in sterling performances. The excellent directing of Max Fischer was again evident to the opening night crowd. • Stevens played the part of the "hood's" ringleader Patsy and carried the play with his quick wit and excellent por trayal of the part. He was su perb in the comic lines and had the Audience laughing at his feet. Esther Benson, wh o played Mabel, was Patsy's girl who pro- FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Dean Yohe Will Resign August 31 By JANET DURSTINE R.

Bishop, who played Mr. Carver, was forceful and expres sive in his part as the owner of a greeting card company. The play centers around Erwin Trobridge, played by Ken Evans, who has the amazing talent of picking the 'winning horses in the daily races: But he can only pick the winners.while riding a bus to work—which for him is .compos ing, Mother's Day greetings for Mr. Carver's firm, Ono day Erwin becomes dis gusted with his work and winds up in a -bar where three local "hoods" discover his-talent for picking winning parleys and decide Erwin can make them "easy" money. This is fine as long as Erwin is "drunk""• but Erwin resists when he becomes sober. = - Added to the conf4ion is Er win's brother-in-law, Clarence Debins, played by Don Petersen, who also wants to make a fast' dollar on the horses, with Erwin as the tipster. Erwin leaves his wife, engages in some strange rgiatt Bill Requests Budget Hike A bi-partisan bill was introduced in the State Senate Monday requesting a $43.9 million appropriation for the Uni versity's 1959-61 biennium. This was a political move to gain more funds for the University, as Gov. David L. Lawrence recommended a $34.2 appropriation for the Uni-i versity in his budget message. Gov. Lawrence has repeatedly stated he will not sign any ap- 1 propriation which was higher than his budget requests unless; the tax program is increased. For 'the past four months, legislators ihave been haggling over an un acceptable tax program and have yet to take action on the appro priation requests. I The bill, sponsored by Sen. Paul L. Wagner (R.-Schuylkill) 1 and Frank W. Ruth (D.-Bucks), was an administrative move to secure funds from the Legisla ture, according to Sen. Jo Hays (D.-Centre). University spokes men fully supported the bill. Hays guessed that the Senate might approve a figure some where between the $34 and $441 million requests. The University's appropriation battle began back in January when President Eric A. Walker first announced the University's request of $43.9 million in a "State of the University" address to faculty and administrative members. Walker sent his request to Gov. Lawrence and he trimmed the request to $34.2 million, which he sent to the Legislature in the form of his record-breaking bud get March 2. After the bills went to Sen ate and House Appropriation committee, Walker was called to testify as to the University's - need for additional money, above the $34.2 million. He told both committees that Univer sity expansion would be cur tailed, 5600 new students could not be admitted, and faculty staff salary raises could not be granted in full if the budget request was cut. Both committees seemed sym pathetic to his plea but the House Appropriation Committee recommended $34.2 million on June 1 and the Senate has yet to make its recommendation. In 1957, the University re ceived $29.7 million, a $2 5 mil lion increase over the figure pro posed by then Gov. George M. Leader. The University had re quested nearly $34 million, doings, recites poetic verse, and eventually ends the hysteria by picking a high paying winner. All this adds up to nothing but the most humorous comedy we have seen in a long while. Janice Champagne, who !plays Audrey Trowbridge, just doesn't look like the wife-type and gives a weak performance in her role as a hysterical wife who can't find her missing hus band. Her brother Clarence, has a difficult part but didn't seem to reach the audience Monday night. Charlie and Frankie, played by Mike G. Matoin and Frank Browning, were excellent in the role of city "hoods". Harry, play ed by John Kernell, changed his accent midway through . the show, but otherwise was sufficient as the bartender. The play was slow moving in the Trowbridge home scenes but picked up considerably when the action moved to the bar or the Lavillere Hotel room. The stag ing is effective and the sound ef fects were most realistic, espe ciajly the radio broadcasts. Editorial-- Donald W.
