THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1967 Senate Approves Student Tax Credit The United States Senate on April 21 approved by a 53-26 vote a plan to provide fa federal income tax credit of up to $325 for tuition, books and fees paid by students in colleges, universities and - other post-high school institu tions. Final enactment of the' plan probably will depend on the decisions made by a, Senate-House Of Representa tives conference committee. The tax credit plan was offered Friday, April 14. 1967, by Senator Abraham Ribicoff. ,(D-Conn.), as an amendment to a House-passed bill whicti would restore the invest ment tax credit to businessmen. Under the amendment offered by Ribicoff and accepted by the Senate, the tuition and fee credit is 75 per cent Of the first $2OO paid. 25 per ccrit of the next 5300 and 10 per cent of the next Sl,OOO. Thelcredit is substracted from the income tax owed the government. The credit is available to any person who pays the tuition. Thus, it would be available to working students and wives as well as to parents and other relatives. Parents with more than one child is i•ollege or graduate school may get a separate credit for each) "Over two-thirds of the benefits of this amendment would go to families earning less than $lO,OOO a year," Ribicoff said.-A formula reduces the amount of the credit available to high bracket taxpayers. Capitol observers said an ; important part in the final decision on the tuition tax !credit plan will be played by Congressman-Wilbur D. Mills. (D-Ark.) chairman of the House Ways and Means Coinmittee. So far, he has taken no public stand on the measure which long has been op 'posed by the national Administration. - In offering the tuition t!a:ni credit amendment, Senator Ribicoff said there is an Urgent peed, for tax relief for persons factd with the increasing costs of higher eduth ton. "In the long run," he, said, "my amendment would serve all America. For our, strength lies not just in the richness of our soil, not just in the wealth of the factories of our vast, complex physical technology—but in our minds, in our skills, in our ability to use these wisely and well."

Possessed of a devouring and demoniac curiosity about life, extremely pessimistic, and usually expressing in his plays aspects, of thel neurotic tendencies which ruled his personal' life, Strindberg is considered one of the 'best expressionist playwrights and has been hailed as one of the top . dramatists of the nineteenth century. "'llte Ghost Sonata" can be easily identi fied as !an expressionistic play through its colorle'ss and non-identifiable characters, none of!which have names; its simple yet far-fetOed plot and its emphasis on phil osophical speeches and dialogue rather than on natural action and character development as the 'p'Fimary means of relating the play's messag i e.! :Focus On Words, Actions Strindberg himself reveals his expres sionistic] tendencies in his emphasis on the elimindtion of mannerisms, quirks of speech, oddities of behavior and repetition of stock phrasel, and other identifiable characteristics from character portrayals, in order not to detract from the words and symbolic actions of the characters themselves, which he felt should be the sole basis for arriving at an interprpation of the play. • "The Ghdst Sonata". is an extremely pessimistic comment on what Strindberg felt we the results of the "inevitable com ing of evil into mqn's life," and on his desire to hide; his own evil actions. - - In fhe words of the Hyacinth Girl, played by Mary Pickering (graduate-theatre arts-Ra 9igh, N.C.), man is obsessed with "the labor of keeping the dirt of life at a distancej' Both the milkmaid, played by Jackie Knapp (9th-speech-State College), and the vampire cook played by Margaret Perdue (gradute - theatre arts - State College). are symbol's! of the evils in man's past which Council Sponsors Books for Kenya Drive .rand new Books' for Kenya were collected.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA cannot be hidden or destroyed. The milk maid, who haunts the pld man, can be seen only by him and is. a 'constant reminder of his past misdeeds. The vampire cook drains the Colonel's family of food and sustainment much in the way man's past feeds on his present well-being and robs him of his desire and' chance for happiness and a normal life. Preoccupation With Past - The nadie "Ghost Sonata" is derived from the fact that the characters in the play, because of the necessity of hiding their past wicked actions, must live in the past and are no more than ghosts. Their conversation is often halted because of "a fear of being found out," and their words are necessarily limited to the parrot-like comments on life and the-past by the mummy, who has had no contact with reality for; twenty years. Discussing their vampire cook, the Col onel's family -despairs of "the curse (which) lies over the whole of creation, over life it self," a curse which Strindberg strongly be lieved exists. As in his other fantasies, Strindberg sought to intensify his highly-symbolic mes sage through the use of the dream as a medium of unreality, so that the events as sume nightmare proportions. The play is ex tremely pessimistic and frightening, yet pro vides crucial insight into the nature of cer tain human weaknesses. It is generally judged to be Strindberg's best work. Strindberg does have one hope for the improvement of man's fate, expressed in his faith in the character and innocence of the young. The old man, played by Robert Breuler (graduate-theatre arts-State College), notes, "The young people shall not have to come (to the gathering of the 'ghosts') . . they shall be spared." The author also be lieves that through suffering and repentance man's past actions can be partially atoned for and forgiven. As the mummy says, "I can wipe out the past and undo what is done ... but only through suffering and repentance." Strindberg's philosophy is best sum marized in the song the student, played by Robert Barber (graduate theatre arts-Millers ville) and the only normal person in the play, sings at the the end of the play: "I looked at the sun and saw/The hidden:soul of all the world./We must reap as we have sown/and know no blessing but ;our own./Only inno cence knows no fear/Sweet is innocence!" mmaaaaaditmawaawg2aduakawaamigial OUR London iFo A Not just like any raincoat, it's better.
