Irish Actor to Give
Wilde Monologue
The noted Irish actor Micheal MacLiammoir will display

sents his dramatic monologue, "The Importance of Being
Oscar," at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday in Schwab.

Groups Send
First Constitutions
To Sub-commiffee
The constitutions of the Or
ganization of Student Govern
ment Associations and the
Keystone Society, an offspring
of the former, are slated for
review by the Senate sub-com
mittee on Organizational Control
at 4:15 p.m. today.
OSGA President Robert Fisher,
junior in education from Potts-,
ville, and chairman of the con
stitution committee for the Key
stone Society, will present the
constitutions, along with Merle E.
Campbell, dean of Student Af
fairs for Commonwealth Cam
puses, who is also a member of
the OSGA Advisory Board.
OSGA was created in October '
of 1960, and was headed by Rich
ard Heber. lasi year's SGA
president.
Though it has eight definite
purposes, as outlined in the con
stitution, it serves primarily as
a sounding board for ideas which
might benefit the University's 14
campuies, and as a medium for
developing student leadership.
The Keystone Society is the
first attempt to establish a Uni
versity wide method of recogni
tion for the freshmen and
sophomores at the 14 campuses
including University Park. The
society's constitution also- pro
vides for honorary membership
for faculty and administrative
members . "... who make a signif
icant contribUtion to the student
activities program of the Univer
sity."
OSGA will hold its fall meet
ing on campus November 3-4.

Artiste Series for the 1961-62
season.
The dramatic monologue was
written by MacLiammoir from
the works of Oscar Wilde and from
his own views on the British play
wright of the 1890's.
MacLiammoir spends only
part of the play impersonating
Wilde and other characters in
the story. Between these dra
matic moments, he plays the
role of reporter. observer and
critic of Wilde who had a much
disputed moral reputation.
The play has been divided into
two sections. Part I, "The Happy
Prince and The Green Carnation"
describes Wilde's sensitivity to the
beauty of things about him and
his characteristic sense of humor.
It doses with the now famous
charges of immorality against the
playwright.
Wilde's trial presumably takes
place during the intermission
since Part 11, "De Profundis,"
opens with a soul-searching let
ter of that title which Wilde
wrote to a friend while he (Wilde)
was in prison.
All the information which
MacLiammoir used to assemble
this monologue comes directly
from Wilde's letter and other
writings; and a great deal of
it is read verbatim. Most of
the remaining time is spent on
MacLiammoir's comments on'
Howard Taubman, New York
York Times drama critic said, "Mr.
MacLiammoir does not spare
Wilde, nor does he judge him. He
reveals him affectionately . . .
(as an) . .. Irishman proudly pro
claiming a compatriot's expres
sion of the spirit of Ireland."

Complexity of World Problems
Is Subject of Series Speech -
The easy "never, never land
of three wishes" will not solve
any world problem in the in-
Icreasing complexity of inter
;national events, Dr. Robert T.
Oliver, head of the speech
department, said last night.
His talk, "American Fereign
Policy in the Midst of Wend
Revolution," was the first •of the
Liberal Arts Student Council's
Lecture Series for the fall term.
Oliver said that in the world
today people cannot "sit tight un
til the periodical crises blow over,"
Oliver told a capacity audience in
the Hetzel. Union Ballroom. And
complaining about current events
will not accomplish anything con
structive, he added.
Oliver cited the Cuban in•
vasion. the Laos guerilla war,
the recent erection of the East-
West Berlin concrete wall, and
the Congo situation as examples
of failures in American Foreign
Policy.
Two-thirds of humanity has
usually been uneducated andi
undernourished but the difference'
today is that these people are be-1
coming aware of that fact and

said.
The new nations of the world
still insist on denouncing the
United States as a colonialist pow
er because it is, he said. That is,
the United States thinks as a
colonialist power and that thought
creeps into its action, Oliver
.added.
He said the United States must
realize that "the time has literally
come when the world cannot exist

Four other areas which should
be recognized and strengthened,
Oliver said, are a stronger world
federation, more foreign aid, more
evangelism about our democratic
way of life and a continuing mili
tary strength.
