Pollock Rec Room By DAN McKAY Daily Collegian Staff Writer Harry James and his band brought the rich big band sound to State College Wednesday night, prompting many in the crowd to dance the night away. In the process, the band proved to be much more adept at old standards like "Satin Doll," "Don't Get Around Much Any More" and "01' , Black Magic" than they are at more contemporary numbers like "Rollin' (On The River)" and the corny "Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song." Although the choice of some newer tunes was questionable, the oldies generally were played with seemingly effortless precision and sensitivity. It was apparent that most people in the crowd at Gatsby's came to hear big band standards. Vocalist Jeannie Thomas nearly stole the show with her rich tone and fluid phrasing. She is the kind of singer who makes one's ears fall in love. At times, Thomas' voice resembled Ella Fit zgerald's; on other songs, it seemed more in the style of r Fro e Sparks basement miISeUrTITOCUseg r tics; By KATHY KIMBER Daily Collegian Staff Writer This fall a friend said there was finally an anthropology museum at the University. Having always had an in terest in anthropology, I called the museum to find out more about it. However, I found that the museum has been operating since Spring Term, 1976, when James Hatch, currently an assistant professor of anthropology, opened the museum to the public. Before that, there had been an an thropology museum,.but it was open only to anthropology or archaeology students. However, Hatch said, he has been trying to make the museum more beneficial to students as well as the general public. For example, a .seven unit exhibit on eastern United States archaeology is scheduled to go on display either late this term or early Winter Term. Hatch said this exhibit will concentrate on excavations from this area. The exhibit will be useful for several classes he is teaching, Hatch said. In addition, it could also be useful to people interested in local archaeology. The display will continue through Spring Term. The next display, Hatch said, will focus on the Yanamomo Indians of Brazil, which should be ready sometime next fall. Since it takes from six to nine months to prepare an exhibit, Hatch said there will will probably be one major exhibit per year.

"Waiting For Godot" is a successful play only if its tragedy is the muscle behind the comic punch. The production, directed by Archie Smith, opened last night at the Pavilion Theater and is successfully based on just this premise. Paul Malluk (graduate-theater), playing Estragon, and Richard Hill (graduate-theater), as Vladimir, are the comedians, the tragic figures, the human beings who wait for Godot. They are joined in empathy, dependent or each other as they should be. For only if they are both focused on the objective waiting for Godot will the audience be brought with them in their prolonged pain and their occasional exultation. Estragon and Vladimir reached out to all of us last night. They are funny, sensitive and so human that they are frightening. When Estragon throws his Luci Murray (7th-speech communication) spends a few minute where ancient and not-so-ancient relics are on display.

Estragon and Vladimir wait and, hope and at times enjoy the comic diversions they create for themselves. Hill plays a cerebral Vladimir. who seems ,to have learned something about the world qt sometime. Malluk's Estragon is a more instinctive fellow who is so linked to Vladimir that he seems to fill in un spoken words and imcomplete phrases and act on what he instinctively feels. Near, the . center of each . act in "Waiting For Godot',' is a scene in which Pozzo, Neal A. Hemphill (sth-liberal arts) and Lucky, David Garfield (10th theater) come passing through the bleak place where Estragon and Vladimir wait. Pozzo and Lucky are master and servant and in this relationship present another view of humanity. , . Hemphill fails dreadfully in his characterization. His Pozzo struts an the stage like an uncertain ringmaster. He Museum is presenting a selection of works from its European collection including prints, drawings and decorative arts. Oriental works of art from the Museum's permanent collection wilt be on display through Nov. 20. A selection of Japanese prints, ceramics, porcelains and brush and pen drawings will be shown.
