    'Rock' Opening Shows Skill
(Continued from page one)
lusioned by life but fascinated by
the prospects of living in a world
of hope.
Ken Neal as Captain Joshua
forcibly takes things in hand with
vigor and capability when he is on
stage. Bob Morton is particularly
convincing as the Cockney worker
who realizes his dreams will never
come true.
Biggest laughs of the evening
grew from the characterization of
Flanning, the lighthouse inspector,
played by Robert Peterson. Teter
son has a flair for broad comedy
and knows how to play a laugh for
all it’s worth; and sometimes for
more than it’s worth.
Harold Smith as Streeter had
the difficult task of opening the
show and closing- it. His first act
argument with Van Boskirk lacked
the fire it seems it should have
had; but the affection and respect
between the two men was ade
quately developed.
Others in the play, equally cap
able in their smaller roles, were
Joan Landman as Anne Marie,
Faber DeChaine as Dr. Kurtz, and
Wayne Wagner as Nonny. Robert
Metz and Donn Doak completed
the cast.
Good Stage Effects
The one-set interior of the light
house was effective in setting the
mood for the drama; and the sup
erb lighting was more evidence
of the physical facilities of the
new theater.
Mrs. Seybolt’s meticulous di
recting resulted in a nicely-staged
play, with the cast assuming natu
ral stage positions which frequent
ly created a beautiful picture.
Something went haywire near
the end of the second act, how
ever, and it was necessary for Ken
Neal to spend a good portion of
the time trying to get out from be
hind another actor. It was interest
ing to see the skillful maneuver
ing of Neal, though, and see the
number and various types of mo
tivations he manufactured to move
into the clear.
Ike Eisenhower says he doesn’t
want to be drafted for president
by artificial methods, but most
candidates need an oxygen tent
and a pulmotor.
Kenton Concert
(Continued from page one)
ketball games. They will face the
orchestra. Reserve seats will be in
the first eight rows on the floor,
and the C and D sections in the
balcony, and the first seven rows
in the B and E sections.
The Kenton Concert is part of
the Student Union Board program
to bring new and different attrac
tions to the campus. First was the
Nappy Lamare performance here
last term, but the Kenton Concert
vastly overshadows even that.
Previous to now, events of this
nature were never brought to Ore
gon. The board is sponsoring them
in the belief that the student body
desires them.
Tickets are on sale at the Co-op,
McArthur Court, and the Appli
ance Center. General admission
is $1.20 and reserve seats $1.80.

One difference between Congress
and us is that Congress passes the
income tax and we don’t dare.
