Drama Review

Guignol Play Produced Well
By W.G. FLICKINCER

Special to the Kernel
Wednesday night the Cuignol
Theatre opened an excellent production of Truman Capote's
amusing, poignant play, "The
Crass Harp."
The play, a moving tale of
the meaning of love and the
search for identity, seems incomplete. There are too many characters who appear on stage for
short periods and motivations are
frequently obscure.
The lines, however, are clever
and frequently funny, and the
constant admixture of humor and
pathos makes for enjoyable and
intriguing entertainment.
In spite of the shortcomings
of the play itself, the production
gave it every nuance of meaning
av ailable. With the sole exception
of Clark McClure as the Sheriff,
all of the characters were played
with great verve and perception.
Special kudos in the minor
roles, however, go to Paul
Johnson as the barber and Susan
Cardwell as Baby Love Dallas.
Both were superbly amusing.

In the major roles, Elizabeth

as
Hobbs,
Catherine, and Mitch Douglas
as Dr. Ritz, gave magnificent
performances in difficult roles.
Such uniform excellence in
performance can only reflect the
ultimate skill of the director,
Professor Charles Dickens. He
has taken an exasperating play
and made it a meaningful experience.
The light ing, despite annoying
flickering, was most effective but
the scenery missed the boat. The
obvious intent of the designer,
David Phillips, to move from the
stark reality of theTalbo mansion,
to the vicious unreality of the
town, and then to the fairylike escape world of the tree
house was evident but the execution failed.

distracting.
The costumes were in keeping
with the exception of Colin's
which seemed out of place with
those of the other characters.
Despite the inadequacies of the
play and the disappointing
scenery, the production as a
whole was well worth the
viewing.

Endorse The Plan
Perhaps the most meaningful of
all Centennial year accomplishments will be in the spotlight next
Tuesday at the meeting of the
University Board of Trustees.
The new academic plan, inspired by a challenge last year from
President Oswald and developed by
a faculty committee, will be up for
approval.
Among the more significant
recommendations of the plan is the
equalization of requirements for all
students. All incomingstudents will
be enrolled in the College of Arts
and Sciences for their first two
years, transferring to their professional college later in their
academic career. All students will
have a basically similar core curriculum of requirements, although
there is room for some variance.
Postponing entrance to a particular college until the junior year
has several advantages. First, it
will give the undecided student
the opportunity to explore several
possible major fields before making
a commitment. Now many students
run into loss of credits and much
red tape in transferring from one
college to another.
Secondly, the equalization of
standards for lower division students will make academic requirements in all colleges more equal.
It is a fact of life that under
current policies poorer engineering
students often transfer into com- -

beat "stiff requirements.
Another positive trait of the
are the arrangements which
will encourage students todoupper
division work in several fields rather
than piling up a heafty sum of
credits in "introductory " or "survey" courses.
We also favor the proposed
College of Fine Arts and School of
Communications. Fine arts and
communications courses now are
taught in a variety of departments.
Better programs could be formulated in these fields if all courses
and instructors dealing with the
field were brought under one general administration.
new-pla-

The plan has some drawbacks,
too, but most of these are the result
of the one uncontrollable variable
in the entire plan, the increased
enrollment.
It will be difficult tc provide the
percent of low er division students
who will do their work in community colleges with the same
quality education they might get
at the Lexington campus. Obviously, the finer instructors will
not be attracted to the community
colleges where there is no graduate
school. Television teaching and
assigning "visiting" instructors to
the colleges for short periods of
time may help this but not entirely.
It may also be difficult for the
outstanding students in the community colleges to do advanced,
work before their junior

National safety officials are predicting a peak death toll for the
Christmas vacations.
We hope no University students
or faculty members will be among
those slain on the highways during
this holiday period. We urge those
of the University community to be
especially careful travelling toward
their homes in the
motoring crowds.
A night's rest after "exam exhaustion" might make for a safer
trip home and a better chance of
making it back in January.

South campus, in effect a community college at Lexington, will
offer the same problems in attracting top staff members.
Certainly the undergraduate
library will be a vast improvement.
Put together, however, the
plan's advantages greatly outweigh
its faults, especially when these
"faults" are caused by an unchangeable variable.
We recommend the Trustees endorse the plan.

To the Editor

of the Kernel:

This letter is written in reaction
to the Christmas parties given by
five of our campus sororities and
one fraternity. I feel that this concern for the "underprivileged children from Lexington's Lincoln'
School" is very nice, but I question
who receives the most benefit from
such parties. I am of the opinion
that the Greek organizations do.
If individuals within these
organizations are truly concerned
about the children at Lincoln
School, I would suggest they involve themselves in the
Tutorial Program. This program
offers weekly tutorial assistance to
these "underprivileged children".
The "underprivileged" are so
often subjected to suchannual"do-goodismI personally wish that
each of these children has the
happiest possible Christmas, but I
wish more that their educational
experience be supplemented somewhat by those of us from UK who
tutor Lincoln School students.

Freedom and the Students for a

have not corrupted or shamed UK,
as many suggested they would.
They have, however, caused many
students to question their basic
beliefs for the first time.
How many people would have
signed the Vietnam petition without these groups? How many students gave blood for the first time
in their lives because of these
groups? If this trend continues,
apathy will no longer have a home
at UK.
I w elcome SDS and YAF. I welcome any group, propounding any
position, based upon logical reasoning. There is nothing in this world
above inquiry, be it the U.S. Constitution or the Holy luble.
No minds have been corrupted in
the process, but I dare say that a
few minds are being more fully

Distribution Practices
On Information, Devices Of Birth Control
Colleges

Re-exami- ne

Tlic Collegiate Press Service
Since early fall when it was
reported that several unmarried
Pembroke College coeds had been
given birth control information
by the Brown University Health
Service, many campus have
come to examine and question
their own practices with regard
to the distribution of birth control
information and devices.
The Drown Health Service
noted that each case was
examined on an individual basis.
This seems most often to be the
stated policy of university health
services-- if
indeed any policy
exists at all.
At Purdue University, Dr.
Loyall W. Combs, director of
the student health service, said
that each case is handled on a
strict "individual basis."
Dr. Combs said that he
regularly lectures to freshmen
women about birth control in a
course called Physical Hygiene.
He said that no stand is advocated since "we realize the
moral requirements
of some
religions" and that "we just give
these girls a little basic infor-

mation."

Dr. Combs said that a number
of university coeds come to the
health service for premarital
counseling and that these girls
are also given information concerning birth control.
He said that girls planning to
get married are usually told to
begin the use of oral contraceptives a month or two before
marriage. Dr. Combs explained
that the oral contraceptives are
hormones and a certain period
of time is required for the system
to adjust to their use.
Because they arc hormones,
these pills also arc prescribed by
physicians for reasons other than
birth control.
Unmarried students, therefore,
are sometimes prescribed these
pills for reasons having nothing
to do with birth control. Dr.
Combs said. This dual nature
of the drug is what makes an
"individual judgment" on each

case necessary, Dr. Combs said.
"These are hormones and should
be prescribed with good judgment," he said.
Dr. Combs emphasized that
oral contraceptives should not be
used indiscriminately. However,
he said it was not impossible
for an unmarried student to get
a prescription only as a preventive
to pregnancy.
"It is university policy not to
do this," Dr. Combs said, "but
in the final decision it is a matter
between the physician and the

Dr. Hubert y added that it
depends on the specific circumstances. Deciding what information is dispensed and what
pills or devices arc prescribed is
up to the doctor involved. "It
busiis strictly a doctor-patien- t
ness," she said.
At the Berkeley campus of
the University of California, the
same practices are followed
except the health service says it
does not actually prescribe any
devices or pills. It merely counsels
students, a spokesman said.
