14—The Daily Collegian Friday, May 9, 1980 'Carousel' a show worth seeing By PADDY PATTON Daily Collegian Staff Writer "Carousel" is a peculiar show. It tries to blend the appearance and music of a light operetta with the tragic elements of serious drama. The Penn State Thespians' produc tion, which opened . in Schwab Auditorium last night, effects this difficult mixture as well as any version I've seen. This is not to imply that the production itself was without flaws. On the contrary, Steve Allen, as Billy Bigelow, suffered some intonation problems and Mary Lee Bradfield, as Julie' Jordan, suffered inconsistent dramatic impact. In softie spots the pace lagged; in others, the orchestra sounded thin. These were incidental problems, though, and there was much that was praiseworthy about the show which compensated for these shortcomings. In general, Weiss and Bradfield were a believable leading pair, especially in light of the fact that the play itself simply does not allow these roles much character development. 2 Pa. head shops dose due to harassment By LISA DOHNER Daily Collegian Staff Writer At least two head-shop owners in Pennsylvania have closed their stores as a result of police and community harassment after ordinances were passed by their respective borough councils, a local member the National Oiganization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws said last night. Mark Cams (6th-music), a member of the Penn State chapter of NORML, said the two stores, which sell drug-related paraphernalia and that have closed, are in Carlisle and Hummelstown.

Boalsburg, PA U.S. citizenship required An equal opportunity employer Bradfield deserves special com mendation for those moments when she captured the balance of hesitancy, desperation and wisdom which characterizes Julie. She also sang with a lyric, light quality that was very appropriate to Julie's personality. Similarly, Allen, as Bigelow, who does the wrong things for the right reasons, trod the thin line between good guy and bad guy for the most part successfully. In addition to the leading characters, the supporting elements of the show were essential to its success. The chorus numbers were well rehearsed; choreography in teresting but suitably simple. The vocalists were all more than com petent and the orchestra never goofed up seriously. To director Rick Lyon's credit, the whole company seemed to know what it was doing all the time. There was a blessed absence of awkward pauses, screwed-up lines or obviously missed cues. Particularly enjoyable were the supporting roles of Enoch Snow and paraphernalia, said the borough council passed an ordinance on April 15 banning the sale of such paraphernalia inside the Hummelstown borough. "They passed the ordinance within a matter of hours without giving me any notice," he said. "It went into effect immediately. I can't display articles, I can't sell them and I can't give them away." Martrano said he was going to keep the shop open and fight the ordinance. However, he would have been fined $lOO to $3OO a day if decided to do so. "I would have had to put up the money ahead of time, so my lawyers told me to close it," he said. Carrie Pipperidge, played by Win throp Cashdollar and Aileen M. Mclntrye respectively. These two also worked very well as a couple, more specifically, as the prosaic and complacently successful foil to Julie and Billy's unhappy failure. Mcln trye brought much-needed humor to the evening and put her vocal skills to equally good use. Cashdollar, who possesses an especially fine voice, also handled the deadpan funniness of his role with delightful talent. Other members of the cast are equally deserving of recognition. Karen Risinger, as Mrs. Mullin, was the real bitch she was supposed to be; and Patricia Swanson, as Nettie Fowler, was the wonderfully sup portive matriarch she was supposed to be. Gregory S. Henry, the unredeemably bad Jigger Craigin, wrung his role for all its worth with good results. Carousel is a difficult show to produce well, but in the hands of the Penn State Thespians, it is worth seeing. Since it is a is a borough ordinance, Martrano said he might set up his shop outside of Hummelstown. He said his lawyers told him he could also remain open as a clothing and gift shop, but to take the drug-related paraphernalia off the shelves. "Then, when my regular customers come in, I can make arrangements for them to buy the products that they want from me somewhere else," he said. Martrano said when he first moved into the shop in July 1977, he told the owners of the property exactly what he was selling. Word got around, he said, that he was dealing not only in drug related paraphernalia but also in drugs. 818 KD Congratulations on another successful Regatta! Love, SDT. li/R.

House may avoid general bill debate By PHILIP GUTIS Daily Collegian Staff Writer Some members of the state House of Representatives may be trying to avoid debate on the general appropriations budget, said state Rep. Gregg Cunningham, R-Centre Region, last night. One method being considered to avoid debate is making the general appropriations bill an amendment, he said. It would then be tacked onto another smaller, less complicated ap propriations bill which has been passed by the House and Senate and sent to conference committee with minor dif ferences between the two versions. The conference committee eliminates those differences by making a compromise adding the general appropriations bill to the smaller bill, he said. The bill and the amendment are sent back to each house in the form of a conference committee report, which can not be amended any further. Members in each house can only vote yes or no This move could benefit the University by ensuring the quick passage of the general appropriations bill, Cunningham said, and then the General Assembly would be able to act 'on the budget proposals for the non-preferred institutions. The four state-related universities, Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh, Temple University and Lincoln University are considered non-preferred institutions. However, the proposed move would be "disenfranchising the people of this district," Cunningham said. The differences between the two bills would then be resolved by a, conference committee composed of six members of the leadership from each House, and sent to each House for concurrence, he said. "I oppose that vigorously," Cunningham said. "This is a "Thdt 'week I got an eviction notice, and I received two more since then. They told me I couldn't hang my shop sign outside where the previous owners had two signs hanging. "People watch my shop with binoculars. One guy even called me and said I was the reason for a murder suicide shooting that happened in Hershey, they just look for things to hassle me about," he said. Cams said Carlisle passed a similar ordinance about two years ago. The only head shop operating there, he said, closed recently because of repeated harassment from the community and alleged, attempted fra s mes by the police. Student receives town position Undergraduate Student Govern nient Senator Andrea Solat was recently appointed a voting member to the State College Municipal Planning Commission. Solat said she became involved with the planning commission through the USG Department of Political Affairs and has served as a student representative since last spring.

However, Cunningham said he would have to proceel cautiously with his opposition "because I risk delaying the bill r and, in delaying it, my district's economic interests wouldo • hurt." With the . Centre Region arid the University heaVily depen dent on state money, Cunningham said he has to proceed wit! tact. "If I represented a different sort of district, I would probabl; be handling this differently," he said. Other legislative measures Cunningham discussed in hit town meeting on campus last night were the capital budgePfoi the state and the handicapped access bill. The capital budget bill which contains appropriations for the completion of the University's sewage treatment plant is "bogged down right now and it might not move until Sep tember," Cunningham said. The University is under pressure from the Department of Environmental Resources to complete action on the phrnt within 30 days, he said. Cunningham said he will consider ,the possibility of removing the sewage plant appropriations from the budget and making it a separate appropriations bill. However, he said he was worried about wearing out his welcome in the General Assembly by going before them too 0.„ often with appropriations bills.

"She's been very faithful and interested in the community." • Solat said, "I'm very interested in the planning commission It's my major; I like it a lot." "It's a good opportunity for the 4 , student population as well as for myself," she said. "I'll be able to put in some input from a student's point of view." Solat said she is the second student ever to serve as a voting member of the commission. —by Bernadette Eyler Lectures prepare students to 4 sit on Race Relations Board By DAVID MEDZERIAN Daily Collegian Staff Writer Twice a week, 15 present and future members of the Undergraduate Student Government's • Race Relations Board gather in a conference room in Fisher Hall for formal lectures and discussions on topics from discrimination 'and prejudice to homosexuality and group behavior. The students are enrolled in a special section of Counselor Education 302, which has been exclusively geared for members of the Race Relations Board. "The course is basically the same as that taken by the RAs," said Harry Young, chairman of the board. Terrell Jones, East Halls coordinator and board adviser, said the three-credit course has been modified exclusively for the board members. "All but the first six sessions have been restructured," Jones said. "We've rewritten it to deal with our specific concerns " Jones said that class activities vary from lectures and discussions to group exercises. The course is designed to improve 'the board members' group leadership skills which the board members use in conducting race relations programs for University student organizations. "We're teaching them skills about leadership things that will help them," Jones said. Aleta Ott, former vice chairman of the board and one of the instructors of the course, said that the, course's main objective is to get students in touch with their own feelings. "What we want to do is to teach people to communicate, to work effectively in groups and to be self-aware and njoy TAHOKA FREEWAY . and taste "Black-out Sunday Sunday night at THE Fit)GDD R H rSTER Si'. Serving Pepsi• Cola racially aware to really know where they are, so they can relate to other people," she said. Ott said that the class' casual atmosphere is important. "I think you have to have a real informal setting for this," she said. "It's hard to open up and really talk about your feelings when you're sitting behind a desk." Class member Jay Sletson (9th-nutrition) agreed that the atmosphere in the class is important. "The whole class environment is really important here," he said. Sletson also said that the course offers material not available in other courses offered at the University. "I'm in here for exposure to curriculum that is not found in standard courses," he said. Most of the students in the class agree that the experience they are receiving from the course is more important than their grades. "It's what I'm getting out of the course that's important," said Dale Adair (9th-biology). On May 1, Adair was elected the vice chairman of the board for Fall Term. Newly elected chairman Lucia Roberto, who is not taking the course for credit, said that grades are not a concern for members of the class. "No one talks about grades that much," Roberto said. Ott said, "We don't want people to feel they're in here for a grade we want them to learn." Since 60 percent of the grade is based on class discussion and participation, students can miss only one of the 22 sessions, Jones said. Twenty-five percent of the grade is based on assignments, and 15 percent is the final exam. Class members were chosen through a screening process earlier this year, Jones said. Ethnic differences potential trouble Yugoslav cohesion called tenuous The death of President Josip Broz Tito, the man who kept Yugoslavia unified for 35 years, has left Yugoslavia facing the possibility of civil war, Thomas F. Magner, University professor of Slavic languages, said recently. "Yugoslavia is a crazy quilt of nationalities, and there is no majority nationality. So it is possible that some of the nationalities would try to break away from the state which had been unified under Tito," he said. The threat of a Soviet invasion of Yugoslavia, once considered for midable, is no longer imminent, Magner said, because of "worldwide con- Dairy farmer Rodney Reese of Worth Township has declared his candidacy for Centre County Democratic Committee chair man. "Basically, our immediate problem is vacant committee posts in 31 precincts," Reese said. Voter registration will also be stressed, he said. "We will try to register Democrats, obviously." On the same slate as Reese, a dairy farmer, are Mary Dupuis of State demnation of their invasion of Afghanistan." Vernon Aspaturian, professor of political science, said the future of Yugoslav-Soviet relations depends "largely on what happens within Yugoslavia and on the degree to which the Soviet Union can use what happens in Yugoslavia as a wedge to enter, into whatever quarrels develop there." Aspaturian said the invasion of Afghanistan has influenced Soviet contingency plans in Yugoslavia, mainly because an invasion of Yugoslavia at this time would risk a military con frontation with the United States.
