PAGE EIGHT Curtain Up Reader Advocates Musicals, Shaw By JAY RAKE Collegian Reviewer Response to last week's col umn on the future of the the atre came from Gilbert Aberg in the department of public information. A member of the school which believes the theatre's troubles stem from the plays it is producing, Aberg leans toward musical comedy and the likes of Shaw. lie contends this is the theatre which can succeed commercially and which will live for the long est time. Although he is not def inite about the solution to the problem, he is quite emphatic in his belief that plays by Williams and Miller (among others) are hurting the situation. We like Shaw and musical comedy is enjoyable entertain ment, but we cannot help but hope that it is not the answer. Good drama, the stuff that makes people think, is the meat of the theatre and we prefer not to be come a vegetarian. With the usual look at the Sun day New York Times Theatre sec tion, we found the future of the theatre again being debated. This time it was Joseph Papp, father of New York's free Shakes peare in Central Park, expound ing government subsidy of the theatre. Papp, in the spot usually oc cupied by Brooks Atkinson, de fended government support of the arts as the way to insure freedom of the theatre. An At kinson column earlier this year had opposed such subsidy. Personally. -,ve feel that if gov ernment subsidy is the only way the theatre can prosper and gain the stature it must hold in the FINAL CLEAN SWEEP CLEARANCE Bermudas . . $3.79 SKIRTS $3 - $5 - $8 SWEATERS $3 - $5 - $8 Blouses • Night Gowns Rack of DRESSES $5.00 Further Reductions on All Summer Dresses Many other unadvertised Items greatly reduced 123 S.

If he steers clear of the race and the Nixon ticket loses, he praCtically has the presidential nomination sewed up for 1964. Does he want to gamble? Of course he has been trying not too subtly to get a draft for this :•ear. But he can hardly match Nixon's eight years of grooming and foreign experience. Rocky is experienced with Latin America, and would be very helpful to the ticket in that volatile area right now. But he can't match Nixon's all-around experience. So his personal choice will be a difficult one to make. If he thinks primarily of his own de sire to be president he will not take the vice-president spot on the GOP ticket. If he thinks pri marily of the good of the party, he will accept the call. Sheen properly rebuilt and repaired Orthopedic prescriptions tilled Orthopedic shoe sales SHOE CLINIC Phone AD 8-1415 153 S.
