The fins—extensions of the stage around the auditorium— are also used in the production. Scene Device Used A curtain within the setting aids in distinguishing scenes. Principal supporting roles in the tragedy are played by Donn Doak (Cassio), Avis Lange (Emilia), Michael Lundy (Roderigo), and Joan DeLap (Bianca).

The system of Officers Candidate School and advice on enlistments was ex plained by Hawk. “As it stands now,” Hawk stated, "the policy of the Army is one of deferments.” However, it is up to the student to maintain satisfac tory grades in order to remain in this deferment class, Hawk em phasized. Kline emphasized a point learned by veterans who returned to school after their discharge. He said that “most students who do go into the service will return at some later date ... to further their edu cation.” Because this is the first final week for freshmen students, they were warned by Kline that now is the time to start preparing. “The results of this, your first term, may determine a lot in regard to your future.
