land
production at 8 p u n .,
Thursday, A p ril 22, on stage In’
Old Main at P o rtend State
U niversity.
Considered a
comedy In
Edward
Albee's "V irg in ia
Wolfe ’ tradition, the play, ac
cording to The New York Tunes
c ritic , Clive Barnes, "uses a
cruel, excoriating w it in Its con
cern with the breaking down
of pretences, with acceptance of
re a lity .”
The PSU layers' production
w ill be directed by Jack
Featheringill,
new assistant
professor of theater arts and
fo rm e r New York theater pro
fessional fo r fifteen years who
was living In New York at the
time of the play's Off-Broadway
opening In the spring of 1968.
Because
M art Crowley's
"B o y s ” are human beings, who
In this Instance, have problems,
the play is a comedy with s e r i
ous and fwrhaps sympathetic
undertones, Featheringill fe lls.
The play closed in New York
Just a few months ago after
a
successful
two - year run. It
also played In London foi a
year. Road productions toured
with the comedy in this country
fo r
over a year. A
film

Publications
featuring
issues" on oil consistently
overlook one of
the w orld's
richest
petroleum
areas:
Indonesia's offshore deposits.
As It turns out, here has been a
good reason fo r the omission,
according to reporter Joachim
Joesten, of Z u rich ’ s respected
Die Weltwoche. In fact there Is
already so much Intrigue at
tached to these oil deposits, that
Joesten, fo r one, doesn't think
it ’ s going too fa r to Include them
as factors In the Indochina War.
Is
the U £ . engagement In
Southeast Asia s tric tly ideolo
gical? An answer to that ques
tion may be suggested by recent
discoveries, purposely played
down, of gigantic oil reserves in
the waters of Indonesia. A m e ri
can scientists have come upon a
lake of oil 4,000 m iles long and
300 m iles wide,
stretching
under the surface of the sea
Indonesia all way down to
the
northern Australian coast.
The offshore deposits alone in
this region are estimated by
experts as to uting three times
all other offshore deposits in the
w orld. It should be noted in this
context that since 1960Indone
sia has laid claim to a 12-m ile-
wide offshore area around its
islands, enormous bycom pa ri
son with the usual three - m ile
lim it respected by many other
countries. The then President
Sukarno turned huge water sur
faces, previously regarded as
part of
the high seas into
Indonesian lakes by decree.
Actualy, neither the conces
sion - hungry prospectors nor
the bordering nations-Indonesia
Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia,
South Vietnam -care much of a
hoot about how fa r, in term s of
international
law,
the
sampling and d rillin g extends
out into the sea. Today the Gulf
