The Nebraskan was privileged
to witness a production rehearsal
of "The Garden of Asclepius"
in order that Us readers might
have an idea of what to expect
at the world premier of the
drama this evening.
By DICK SHUGRUE
Copy Editor
Tonight the University Theater
will premier "The Garden of As
clepius." Dr. Cscar Mandel, the author of
the drama, has developed what
has come to be called an "idea"
play, rather than a fast moving,
exciting piece of entertainment.
Most certainly, "The Garden"
has a number of "exciting" ele
ments in it. But the most exciting
part of the play is the challenge
it presented to the University Play
ers. The play had some rough spots
in it. The first act, which seemed
to move in 6teps rather than in a
defirite inclining pattern may have
given the viewer some wrong im
pressions about 4Thfc Garden."
I have called the play an idea
play. This needs clarification.
Mandel has adapted very modern
ideas to a Greek surrounding; he
has demanded from the performers
not only an understanding of the
ancients but an insight to our own
world and its problems.
And the twain weren't meant to
meet easily.
The story runs like this. Theseus,
the king of Athens, has gone to
war leaving behind his son and
second wife. The stepmother falls
in love wiih the son, tries to se
duce him, and upon hearing that
Theseus will return, kills herself.
Enraged when he reads that Hip1
polytus, the son, raped (he didn't)
and caused his mother in law's
suicide, Theseus kills his own son.
Now the action centers to a
great extent around Asclepius, a
philosophical physician played ad
mirably bv Steve Schultz. Ascle
pius is &A4 to return Hippolytus
to life, which he docs.
Here lies the idea elemevit of the
play. Can a man whe kmrvs his
own potential find satisfaction if
he reaches it? For Asclepius this
would mean being able to bring the
youth, to life. For Eippolvtus it
say. Nebraska and Pete Elliott beat
the Oklahoma Sooners in football
then offer to join up with them.

Military Ball:
final Arrangements
I most Completed
Final arrangements for the forty-fourth
Military Ball, traditional
opener of the campus social sea
son Nov. 30 are being completed
under the direction of Lt. Cmdr.
D. B. Edge, chairman of the Ball.
Decorations for the Coliseum are
expected to be finished by Thanks
giving vacation with the exception
of last minute preparations, ac.
cording to Paul Streich, chairman.
Individual ticket sales are pro
gressing well, but in combination
tickets are slow, according to the
Ball committee. The combination
ticket which consists of a dinner
for two at the Cornhusker Hotel,
a corsage and transportation from
the hotel to the Ball and back is
being offered for $8.50.
This combination does not in
clude the dance tickets which may
be purchased separately for $3.00
per couple. Spectator tickets priced
at $1.00 per person may be purch
ased until Nov. 29.
All tables which were offered
for reservations in the coliseum
have been filled; however, ample
seating space will be provld3d for
those who were not able to reserve
a table for that evening.
The elections in the ROTC clas
ses to choose Miss Army, Navy,
and Air Force will be completed
Friday and the results will be an

would mean avenging his own
death. For Theseus it would mean
seeking and finding the forgive
ness of his son for his false ac
cusations. Mandel's answer to these ques
tions appears to be, "no." He
states a theme well." Go gently."
The pattern of life is smooth with
out man's in terf erring ambition.

Nebraska i
Seeks Win
Over Baylor
Saturday afternoon the Baylor
Bears will invade Nebraska Me
morial Stadium in an attempt
to stop the win-happy Cornhusk
ers. The last time Baylor played
Nebraska was in 1939 when the
Huskers handed them a beating
cf 20-0.
Baylor has two All-American
candidates; Bill Glass, guard,
ar.d Dsl Shofner, left halfback.
Both cf these boys have sparked
the Baylor squad all through
their season; and they should
turn in an outstanding perform
ance in tomorrow's game. An
other Baylor threat in tomor
row's game will be Doyle Tray
lor, quarterback, who has been
injured during most of his foot
ball career. Traylor is fully re
covered and will be ready to go
against the Huskers.
In the last two games the
Huskers have played, Nappi and
Greenlaw have worked those
puzzling option plays which will
definitely be a threat to the Bay
lor defense. Nebraska's line will
be comprised of Stu Howerter
and Marlin Hilding at the ends.

of the play.
Perhaps when an audience
has been added to the show, the
kinks can be more easily smoothed
out. But the Mandel-Whittaker

ning's pastime for those who seek
more from a play than just enter
tainment. hi miinif
