    THURSDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1961
Audience to Relive
'Oscar Wilde Era'
With "The Importance of Being Oscar" Micheal Mac-
Liammoir highlights many years of admiration for Oscar
Wilde and his era (the 1890's).
This dramatic monologue will be presented at 8:30 p.m.
tomorrow and Saturday in Schwab as the second University
Artists' Series for this term.
Student tickets are sold out for
Saturday's performance, but tick
ets for Friday may be picked up
at the Hetzel Union desk from
9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5
p.m. today and tomorrow. Gen
eral admission tickets are still
available for both evenings at
$1.25 each.
MacLiammoir has been in
terested in the noted British
playwright ever since he re
ceived Wilde's "The Happy
Prince" as a birthday present at
the age of 12.
Since then he has not only
written and dramatized "The Im
portance of Being Oscar," but al
so has performed in "The Picture
of Dorian Gray," another of
Wilde's works, and has appeared
on television in "Famous Trials,"
as Wilde.
MacLiammoir used only the
letters and other writings of
Wilde for the little factual in
formation which is in his mono
logue. What makes the mono
logue unique is that during the
per f o r m a n e e, MacLiammoir
takes many "asides" to com
ment on Wilde's sense of humor,
writings, personal life and pres
ent-day reputation.
Harold Taublan, New York
Times drama critic, commented,
"It (the monologue) has gaiety
and sadness, lyricism and clever
prosaic touches. It is biography
and commentary. Its central char
acter is Oscar Wilde, but it evokes
the spirit of a mauve decade, the
Eighteen Nineties, which, as Mr.
MacLiammoir suggests, Wilde
might have invented."
West Halls AM
To Pickup FM
The residents of the West Halls .
area may soon be able to receive
WDFM broadcasts during the eve
ning hours and a selected FM
station during the day on their
AM radio receivers.
West Halls council at their
regular meeting Tuesday night
passed a resolution appropriating,
$2OO for the purchase of a trans
former to send the sound waves
through the power lines in the
area. The transmitter will be built
by the Psychology Laboratory and
should be in operation by Thanks
giving George Henning, president
of the council said.
The transformer will pick up
the radio waves coming through
the air and send them as electri
cal pulses through the power
lines, it was explained at the
meeting. As long as a radio is
within four feet of a power line,
it will receive the signals trans
mitted through the line.
During the day the same music
which is piped into Waring
Lounge will be transmitted
through the power lines. At 6 p.m.
when WDFM comes on the air
music from the campus radio will
be sent to the residents of the
area.
Henning said that the possibili
ties of such a transmitter were
investigated by the executive
committee during the summer.

Game Foot Traffic
To Use Curtin Rd.
William C. Felton, director of
the department of security, yester
day reminded students planning
to walk to the football game
Saturday that Curtin Road will
be reserved for pedestrians. Other
roads leading to the stadium must
be kept open to handle the great
rush of vehicular traffic, he said.
Pedestrians wh o previously
used University Road to get to
the stadium will find that a high
wire fence has been erected along
the road to keep them off it, he
said.
Pei;on also urged students not
to walk through the parking lots
when leaving the game, since this
causes cars to wait until the exits
are free or makes them detour to
other exits after the game,
