PAGE TWO JOHN BORKMAN (Cameron Leman) enters in a heated discus sion with his one and only male friend Vilhelm Foldal (David Raher) in the Players’ production, “John Gabriel Borkman,” that will open Friday at Center Stage. Iseman Discusses Problems in Acting The difficulty of a role depends on the actor’s emotional and mental maturity, his physical condition and the demands of his life outside the theatre, according to Cameron Iseman, theatre arts instructor. Iseman is cast in the lead role of the Player’s production, 'Assembly' Kills No-Cuf System For Classes A bill that would require compulsory class attendance except for authorized excuses was defeated last night by ‘‘SGA Assembly." Well, not really. SGA Assembly didn’t even 1 meet last night, therefore, the mo-! tion was never introduced and,l was never defeated. What did| transpne was a mock Assembly: meeting for the new members of the student legislature. Walter Darran, Assembly ma jority leader, introduced the bill at the briefing session designed to accustom new members to the rigors of legislative procedure be fore the regular Assembly meet ing tomorrow. SGA President Leonard Julius advised the group on legislative actions. SGA Vice President Larry Byers acted as "Assembly” president.

It is necessary to understand the way of life and conditions at the turn of the century when the play was written, Iseman ex plained. “John Gabriel Borkman” is set in the heat of the industrial revo lution when such robber barons as J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller thrived. “In effect Borkman represents the same type; he sees himself as a Napoleon of business,’’ Iseman explained. "The play is a presentation of people and ideas,” he said, "without any attempt to give answers." Iseman received a certificate in secondary education after attend ing Slippery Rock State Teachers College where he majored in biological and social science and minored in speech He did his graduate work in theatre arts at the University and began teaching stage craft at the University seven years ago.

DECEMBER 2. 1959 women were contacted and they agred to instruct the freshmen in the dormitories. Ten girls from Thompson Hall expressed an interest m baton twirling. The result of this inter est was the routine which was performed at the Syracuse pep rally This svstem of developing ac tivities within the dormitory units helps coeds to gain interests out side their individual departments and schools, Miss Eyler said. The purpose of this, she said, is to prevent pigeon-holing peo ple with fixed ideas and inter ests only within their area of study. The wide variety of activity for the coeds is equaled by the vari ety of undergraduate studies which may serve as a preparation for graduate work in this field. Miss Pharr graduated with a bachelor of science degree in rec reation education from the Uni versity. Miss Eyler received her bachelor of arts degree from tha University of North Dakota whera she majored in English and his tory and minored in journalism. She later took courses in publish ing at Radcliffe.
