Wilds of University Theatre
And Fork Club
Chancellor C. S. Boucher, in a
talk before the Knife and Fork
club yesterday noon, said that
"Education and democracy in the
United States have developed to-
gether, each deriving strength
from the other."
The educational policy of the
United States is based upon the
individual, in contrast to the sys
tems of Japan and Germany,
where emphasis is placed on doc
trines of "race superiority, race
hatred, race enslavement, self-immolation
for national and world
conqiK-st, brutality, ruthlessness.
and terrorism," said the chancellor.
Praising a decentralized educa
tion sytem, he closed by sarin?
that America's "democracy and
educational system have both de
veloped farther and faster under a
ryflem that piorided freedom for
the initiative and genius of our
people to manifest itself locally
and cn a voluijtiry basis without
national restraints than would
have been prv:Me under federal

BY BETTY KING.
There have been stories on back
stage at the opera, behind-the-scenes
shots of the movies, and
backstage at a Broad ay ojx-mng
night- Eut has anyone ever been
backstage at a University Theatre
rehearsal and lived to tell the
tale?
Tuesday night the University
Theatre's newest play, "The Lady
Who Came to Stay," went into r
hearsal. This meant that not only
was the cast prepared for a lot
of hard work, but that Bern
Ehslin, Theatre director.' had to
have a stage set and people to
build it and put it up. j
Original Recipe.
And how are s-ta created? Well,i
some people do it one may and
some another. This is Berne Ens-'
Im's recipe. Take one stag-e,'
brigfcUjr lighted, one compass, a!
couple of sheets of squared paper
a ruler and, oh yes, a Stein war
grand for a drawing board. Com
plicate all this with too little stage
space and the chorus rehearsing
for Carmen and what do you get?
A headache!
First of all, the University stag
is 22 feet 10 inches and the set
calls for 35 feet of space. Mr
Enslin's chief worry seemed to be
how to build a stairway and still
have room for the rest of the set
And then there was some talk
about a dirtchnun, bokh&r two
flats tfigether. The only Dutchmar
we Know anything about is the
Flying Ihrtchman. Somehow hold
ing two flats together isnt oujU

plained that a dutch man is a piece
of wood separating two flats ac

A flat, incidently, is a basir. piece,

Artist at Work.
Finally, by some extraordinary
feat. Berne Enslin got the s4
draws to scale on his piece of
squared paper. Then the fun be
gan measuring all the available
scenery to see which fitted the
dimensions of the new set and
then determining what would have
to be built.
After a half hour of this Enslin
announced he would be ready to
start painting on Saturday. That's
when be will need people lots of
people to beip. . j
This isnt a job for those who
love to look spick and spaa al
ways It's a dirty Job. Ask Becky
Mirer, -Barbara Berggresi. Art

work, but it's fun. There's a co
operative cast to work with and a
spirit of gay iaforrxality about
the Theatre.
