TUESDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1961 Review 'Cave' Performances Make Play Success The "Cave Dwellers," by William Saroyan, a Penn State Players production now running at Center Stage, presents a rambling study of a group of jobless and starving people seeking an answer to their misfortunes in a "cold and undis ciplined" universe. The story, which occasionally rambles to the brink of Land Grant Act Shown in Exhibit In Paffee Foyer Th e Land-Grant Exhibit that is on display in the foyer of Pattee Library explains the role the University has played as one of the United States' 68 Land-Grant Institutions. Copies of the 1862 Land-Grant Act, signed by President Abraham Lincoln, are displayed. Maps of the location of the other land grant institutions are also shown. One display case honors the works of Senator Justin S. Mor rill, to whom the act is ac• credited. Personal letters ex- changed between Dr. George W. Atherton and Sen. Morrill are on display. Other supporters of the act, including two other past presidents of the Univer sity, are acknowledged. The exhibit also pictures the, University's first graduating classl in 1861. The December commence ment exercises this term will mark] the 100th anniversary of that graduation. Because a military program had to be included to get the neces sary support to pass the bill, an other display case shows how the Civil War affected the University. Photographs of the famous Land• Grant Fresco in Old Main by Henry Varnum Poor and drawings of the campus. show ing how it looked then and now, are also on display. Mrs. Margaret Riley of the li brary's Penn State Room, ar ranged the exhibit with the aid of the University's Committee on the Land-Grant Centennial. Pigossi, Henning-.

"The party system is," Pigossi said, "Inconsistent with what the new constitution is trying to ac complish—area representation." The students also proposed that the constitution be changed to al low one representative for every 1,000 students rather than every 500 as now stated. "This will reduce the body to a working size. The proposed group leaves room for a representative to get lost in the shuffle and not to do his part," Pigossi said. Our Delicious teak Sandwiches .

Frazier Sar-B-Q Chicken By DEX HUTCH•INS Collegian Reviewer boredom, is always saved at the last minute by the generally fine performances of the cast. Directed by Kelly Yeaton, asso ciate professor of theater arts, the play attempts to take the audi ence into the center of the charac ters' fetish-like concern for the trivial as they search their own past for the "whys" of their down fall. Saroyan, giving his principle characters anonymous names such as King, Queen, Duke and the Girl, makes their experi ences representative of men everywhere. The King, played by Ed Ander son, is the patriarch of the group. He is a once successful clown of the old vaudeville days now re duced to begging in the streets. This role gives the talented An derson great latitude for expres sion of his abilities. He skillfully creates a king of men beneath the tattered dress of a bum. Sondra Schrenker, as the Queen, is outstanding in her first major ,role at Center Stage. She possesses all the grace of movement and command of bearing demanded for the portrayal of an aged ac tress now facing Beath amid the shambles of the theater in which she once reigned. Fred Gordon, as the Duke, an ex-boxing champion, who seeks refuge in the cave, presents a somewhat stereotyped picture of the "traditional" punch-drunk prize fighter. Gordon has the ability.' however, to communi cate to the audience the tragedy of. this Man's predicament and does a creditable job in the role.

Miss Lander, who dances that a program must "build up" an audience to the most exciting point, and then let it down grad ually. She used as an example the order of ballets in Sunday's pro grain, "Swan Lake," which she said was lyrical and' sweet but with a somewhat tense plot, pre ceded the "wild and fiery" ballet, "The Combat." The rest of the program grad ually works down from this climax, Miss Lander said. "The Black Swan," she explained, and "Les Patineurs" both served as "enjoyable" anti-cli maxes. She said that in planning the program one must consider thf! tastes of as many people that might fill the audience. "People are different," Miss Lander said. "You cannot play to just one taste." Discussing her individual roles, she said that to get the mood of a part is the most important fac tor, "Being able to do a turn or 1777=7 •• • IBM td) Invites Ph.D: Degree Candidates in chemistry, electrical engineering, . mathematics, physics, physical chemistry, and statistics to meet Messrs.
