"'Othello' Opens at 8 Tonight
By Don Smith
Shakespeare takes the spotlight
tonight at 8 in the Ottilie Seybolt
directed production of “Othello,”
in the University Theater. Six
regular performances of the trag
edy will be given—tonight and
Saturday, and Wednesday through
Saturday of next week.
Two special performances are
scheduled—one Saturday matinee
and one early next week. These
performances are closed to Uni
versity students.
Tickets for the six regular shows
may be reserved at the theater
i box office, or by calling Univer
sity extension 401.
In Lead Role
Terrance Roseen, graduate as
sistant in radio, plays Othello, the
lead role. He is supported by Paul
Wexler, senior in speech, as Iago,
and Pat Saunders, junior in speech,
as Desdemona.
The production is the most ela
borate presentation of a Shakes
pearean tragedy in the- history of
the University Theater. The set,
designed by technical director
William E. Schlosser, and execut
ed by classes in scene design and
stage craft, is in “architectural
space” style. There is one basic
set for the entire action of the
play; scene shifts are designated
by change of playing areas and
by lighting. 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).
Included in the large cast are
Warren Archer, Bob Chambers,
Gertrude Plambeck, Sue Polsky,

Pledge Dance
Set for Tonight
Sorority and fraternity pledges
will be honored tonight at a wel
come dance in the Student Union
ballroom. The dance, sponsored
this year by the Junior Inter-Fra
ternity Council and Junior Pan
hellenic, will be a date affair with
campus clothes in order.
Music will be furnished by Gene
Zarones and his Starlighters quin

ton, according to Fred Baltz, gene
ral chairman. Intermission enter

may have with a college educa
tion in the army. 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. So by all means make the
most of it,” Kline stated.
