according to a statement by
(Ben) Belmont, because the re
volting fraternities did not ap
prove of the University drinking
policies which were supported
by the resigning officers," is
erroneous.

During the discussion Dr. Gilli

election be held during March. Gil
liland explained that such proce
dure was authorized in the IFC

Gilliland stated that "there are
politics involved in my opinion and
in the opinion of a great many peo
ple." Gilliland urged the Council
to "cool off" before elections were
held.
Speaking for the motion to hold
executive elections immediately
Beck urged the Council "to get

Review:
Opera 'Inlemfmg,' 'Entertaining'
If operas were judged exclu
sively on the basis of music and
acting, the Department of Music's
presentation of "The Marriage of
Figaro" would score nearly 100
percent. The eight member cast
under the direction of Leon
Lishner and Earl Jenkins gave
Mozart's classic everything they
had, which was quite a bit.
Thus we saw fine examples of
the actor-singer combination in
performers like Rodney Walker
as Figaro, Jodene Kuxhaus as Su
sanna and Phyllis Malony as Cher
ubino. Miss Malony, in particular,
gave her role a good humor,
grace, and sparkling personality
which pleased the opening night
crowd. As thespians the entire
cast displayed some weaknesses
shyness in making gestures and
lack of motivation in responses

All basic ROTC cadets from any
of the services may attend. In
cluded in the program are re
freshments, somkes and a movie.
Representatives from the Navy,
Army and Air Force ROTC staffs
will be present to answer all ques
tions. Some of the events planned by
the Fershing Rifles for this semes
ter are the Field Problem, Spring
Dinner Dance, Drill Meet and a
field trip to Washington, D.C.
but these may be chalked up to
inexperience and were only inter
mittent. (The opera is being given by al
ternating casts, and unfortunately
I was only able to see the first
night of the four performance
run.)
In addition to sureness of pitch
and fine ensemble work, the sing
ers demonstrated almost invari
ably good articulation. The au
dience was able to understand
nearly every word of the libretto,
which was a much finer work than
the sometimes ludicrous script of
last year's "LaBoheme."
But unfortunately one must atso
consider the staging of the current
production. The movement and
stage pictures prescribed by Lish

Colbert, in a formal letter to

ed out that a Senate resolution of

students to vote on faculty com
mittees. Faculty committees with student
representatives include the Senate
Calendar Committee, with two stu
dent members; the Commence
ment Committee, with two student
members; the Committee on Se
mester Examinations, two student
members; and the Senate Commit
tee on Student Affairs, subcommit
tees on General Organizations, -which
has two student members;
Social Affairs, two student mem
bers and Student Publications,
three student members.

resolution.

Sunday Night Movie
This week's Union Sunday Night

neo, will be shown in the Union
Ballroom at 7:30 p.m.
It is the delightfu) jtory of v.
R.O.T.C. school for youngsters and
is presented in print by Techni
color. never to create atmosphere or
heighten dramatic effects. And the
set which consisted almost en
tirely of four painted screens
was singularly ineffective; again
we saw an example of extreme
repetition, which could have been
eliminated with a little ingenuity.
Primarily because of the three
faults I have mentioned, "The
Marriage of Figaro" lacked the
dramatic excitement . it might
otherwise have possessed. One re
grets that the University Theatre
and the music department are no
longer cooperating to present op
eras like "La Boheme" and "The
Consul."
St:.li, the current feature at How
ell Memorial is an interesting and
enttertainb.g presentation. "Th
Marriage of Figaro" will continue
to run through Saturday night.
