University students are solely re sponsible for the entire production of Laboratory Theater plays in the same fashion as Broadway pre sentations. In "Lab Theater," stu dents gain experience with the five theatrical phases of directing, stagecraft, plavwriting, producing and acting. This theater workshop afford the greatest opportunity for stu dents to create and produce the atrical material and to apply classroom techniques. This may be the first chance for a future Arthur Miller to see his work staged. An original play, "The Seedless Grape," will be presented in the near future. The one-act play, written by Jim Copp, a senior speech major, is a satire on life. It takes place in the Kingdom of Gods where two gods are dis cussing Earth. An intervening scene discloses life on another planet where a Man has arrived. He mentions the word "beautiful" Colleges Face Two-Fold Task NWU Dean Expanding enrollments will bring on a two-fold task for colleges and i diversities, a dean at Nebraska Wesleyan University said last week. Dr. Sam Dahl, dean of the fac ulty at Wesleyan, told the univer sity's board of trustees that schools face a tough job in keeping com petent teachers and in knowing how to pick their students. Dahl said colleges such as Wes leyan must be prepared to "do all possible" to hold competent teachers. Many of the teachers, he said, will be offered better-paying positions by other schools. He warned, too, of pressing problems in admissions. More stu dents who apply for admission will "undoubtedly have to be screened out' 'as the rush of college age students swells, Dr. Dahl said. " He reported that Wesleyan's ap plications for admissions are run ning about two and one-half times ahead of last year. ... H :.:.:'iS;:.:i.v,':.;:v'l.'

Five years ago this past June, Melvin Stecher, pianist, and Nor man Horowitz, also a pianist, be came Stecher and Horowitz, duo pianists. . Both are New Yorkers, born and bred, and in one case Erook lyn'd. Both are still New Yorkers, but their Joint adventures during the past five years have taken them far afield and down as many musical roads as a -Steinway piano an' can travel. Stecher and Horowitz are 24 and 25 years old, respectively. Their versatility is typical of today's ar tist. Solidly grounded in the clas sics, ardent and intensive students of both their instrument and its 'literature, they are mindful of to day's taste, and their repertoire Big Role to the goddesses chaos and con fusion results. Trudy Scriven, director, finds it a real challenge to create the role of a character for the first time. The play will be presented on March 22-23 in Temple Room 201. Lab Theater plays are different than University Theater Produc tions. Tickets to the seven Uni versity Theater three-act plays are sold to students and Lincolnites. Admission is free to the shorter Lab plays. Faculty members are responsible lor the planning and activities of University Theater while Lab Theater plays involve little faculty supervision. Univer sity Theater plays are presented at the Howell Memorial Theater. Laboratory plays are presented in the Arena Theater and Labora tory Theater. The round stage of the Arena Theater is enclosed by seating area. The Lab Theater is located in Temple Room 201. Those small stages, of both round and square construction, provide future drama teachers with an opportunity to work on stages of the size and shape they will later be using in high schools. The purpose of Lab Theater is to provide students with a "proving ground" for the various phases of play presentation. The student di rector of the play is responsible for the entire production. This in cludes selecting the cast, design ing the scenery and costumes and arranging the lighting and sound effects. These students have all completed course in beginning play direction. The production manager carries out the plans as made by the di rector. Faculty members act as supervisors. New talents in the acting field are spotted in Theater for later roles in University Theater Pro ductions. Freshmen and transfer students discover in Lab Theater excellent opportunities for their initial performances and for fre quent, acting assignments. Any regularly enrolled student is eligible for a role in the plays. Two lab plays were presented last semester. Len Schroppfer adapted and directed "The Puri cation" written by Tennessee Wil liams. Gloria Temple was the di rector of "The Drums of Oude." Dr. Margaret Servine, Lab The ater Director, is planning to change the laboratory system so that this student workshop can play an even larger role in campus the atrical activities.

The Stecher and Horowitz name first became familiar to the public when the two young men put in a spectacular stint at the Radio City Music Hall, giving 80 per formances in that famous hall where so many of today's most noted artists have first become household words. Last season, the two young men and their steinways gave 45 re citals, and were heard in 30 more as featured two-piano soloists with the Roger Wagner Chorale. This season, the same type of schedule prevails only more so. Return engagement - will bring Stecher and Horowitz back to the Midwest.

In presenting the cheating prob lem to the Faculty Council, an Iowa State senior expressed the belief that responsibility for this situation does not rest entirely with the students. "Neither is it a problem for the individual conscience since the ma jority of grades are based on an average; cheating students raise the curve, thus penalizing the hon est student," he said.

At the present time there are five co-ops on the two campuses, city and agriculture: Cornhusker, Brown Place, Pioneer House, Nor ris House and Ag Men's Club. Each Co-op houses an average of 40 men. Cost per month for room and board, according to Kinnier, is $50 to $55. The co-ops are governed by an Inter-Co-op Council, composed of two representatives, the president and the steward, of each member house. There is also a member-at-large on the council. The job of the Council is to coordinate the activi ties of the houses, Kinnier said. Each house has a president; stew ard, who plans all meals; treasur er, recording secretary and corres ponding secretary, elected from the house membership. The steward has one of the most trying jDS for he is responsible for purchasing foodstuffs and plan ning meals. Usually the members are pleased with the food, but if they aren't the steward soon hears about it, Kinnier pointed out.

UISM IT'S TOASTED" TO TASTE EZTTER Dr. Sakai: Ideas Of Controversial Japanese Figure Studied Robert Sakai, Assistant Profes sor of History, is doing a biograph ical study of a controversial fig ure in Japanese history as a me dium of understanding Japanese psychology. Dr. Sakai, v? h o received his Ph.D. from Harvard, point ed out that his subject, Saigo T a k amori, was a leader in restoring the Emperor to a central posi tion in t h e courtesy Lincoln Journal government. Sakai "I am not interested in the de tails of his life as mQch as I am in examining his ideas," Dr. Sa kai said. "He has become the sym bol . of nationalism in Japan." Although Takamori was brought up in a feudal society, he emerged as a powerful nationalist leader, Dr. Sakai said. WHAT K A MOBY fOUTICAl MEETING I Raucous Caucu JAKES SUTLER. OSTOM COLL. . . .

OP CIGARETTES In the United States Takamori is regarded as a rebel because he led the revolt against the na tionalist government which he ! helped establish. This accounts for the submer gence of Takamori during the America occupation. Since that time he has become much more popular because nationalism is be coming more prevalent in Japan. Dr. Sakai said, "It is essential for us to study this man because from the Japanese point of view he represents values which they consider important. From the Western point of view he has been written off as feudalistic and one who could not adjust to modern conditions." A graduate of the University of California, Dr. Sakai hoped to have his article published primarily in the United States. Over 300 books have been written about Takamori in Japanese n't. very few are avail able in English, he explained. ,cr m " . ll 'l 1 1 I I t IN UNBREAKABLE PLASTIC !
