'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

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.

he said.
"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.

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.
Susan Ravits, as the Girl, has
some difficulty warming up to
her part following her initial en

Toni Lander Says
Ballet Needs Variety
In preparing an evening's ballet program, both lyrical
and dramatic dances must be included, Toni Lander said after
her Artist Series performance on campus Sunday night with
the American Ballet Theatre.
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

Miss Lander said that the
"mood" factor is one of the rea
sons she does not like to change
ballet companies too often. She
explained that a personal con
tact between ballerina and her
supporting dancer is the best
method of acquiring the mood.
