By Ernie Hines "Lysistrata," a Greek comedy which might be subtitled "Kittens on Hot Mount Acropolis," bounced on and on as it opened Wednesday evening at How ell Theatre, dragging about the theme of what could happen if women said "no." The audience, after a few minutes required to adjust to the nature of modified Greek comedy, gave the plcy a fairly warm recep tion. How the play won this reception is another ques tion. No "Slashing Satire" The adaptation of Aris tophanes failed to deliver the "slashing satire" which the program boasted was Mr. Aristophanes' forte. The comedy, instead, provided an unending chain of lines overloaded with double en tendrewhich is apparently what the Greek audiences also got Seldes's effort to make the play seem of striking significance even in this day and age, how ever, seemed unnecessary er.

Likewise, the modern dress didn't add to the play's impact The biggest disappoint ment though, was not the script but the frequent fail lire of the cast Lysistrata, as played by Linda WUlard, was a character lacking subtlety or force who pa raded about the stage with stiff hands-pinned - to-her-sides' gestures. The best acting was turned in by Judy DeVilbiss as Kalonika, Sandi Heffel finger as Myhrenie and John West as Kinesias. This trio presented the most con vincing and amusing char acterizations. Sue Carkoski as Lampito, strutting about as leader of the powerful Spartan women, made her first appearance with a gruff spew of words that reached row M in a jumble. Then, after a long period of off-balance strutting to im press the audience that she really was as powerful as she was billed, she mysteri ously became a new charac ter as she donned a dress. Pros, Cons cussing the new alphabetical registration system. Indulgence Asked Hoover asked the Council's indulgence at the beginning of the discussion while he gave a little background on registration at the Univer sity, He asked the council to look up pictures in the Lin coln Journal and the Lincoln Star of the registration lines 10, 12, or 14 years ago. The lines at this time reached from Grant Memor ial Hall where the registra tion was done, down to R street, west past the admin istration building, and almost down to the law college. The four stude-wide lines start ed forming very early in the morning. Hoover recalled one picture showing a line, about 8 stu- J4f. ZAi, f-nv 4V. : A vh ' th. t er now stands.

Lysistrata's husband Lykon (Douglas McCart ney) seemed to be too wor ried about remembering when it was time for his lines to be able to appear capable of leading the Athenian army. But there is little need to go on. The play is of the sort which warmly attracts or coldly repels the individ nal watcher. I was not at tracted. The major accomplish ment of the cast seemed to be a good understanding of judo, including how to tum ble down a flight of stairs and survive. The set proved its durability, enduring each tumble as well as a horde of actors and actresses ex celling the 20 mark as the action neared its climax. Lighting and music were adequate. The play is worth seeing, but does not seemed des tined to rank as one of Uni versity Theatre's top pro ductions of recent years. Summing Up If you like sex and .vaudeville, don't miss it Friday, December 12, 1953 eet allowed to register first curred. Hoover expressed regret that somehow students had gotten the impression that his office and the Universi ty would benefit under tht new alphabetical system. "Only the students will ben efit," Hoover said. Hoover said that under th old system it sometimes took a student two hours or more to register. "I consider the time of the student to be worth some thing," Hoover said. Council Objections Council members o 1 c e d the following objections in tht discussion that followed: 1. The accepted principle of seniority was being; violated in letting underclassmen reg ister for courses before an upperclassmen who might want the course. (Hoover explained that a senior would never be denied the opportunity to take a course which he needed for graduation and that special provision had been made for such cases) 2. The students were not consulted in any way before the new system was inaug urated. (Hoover reminded the Council of the system which they were considering while back which would make reg istration during the three days which are bow semester vacation. The council turned this suggestion down flatly and it was dropped by the Registrar's office because of this. As far as the present er said frankly that he hadn't thought of asking the council because be didn't feel it would make that much difference.) 3. Under the old system students with more hours got their choice as far as was possible of both class hours and intructors. Under the new system students at the beginning of the alphabet get this preference. (Hoover explained that this disadvantage would be offset by the speed in registration which the new system would offer. He mentioned also that ' if the system were continued, the alphabet would be rotat ed.) Every Council member who spoke was against the new system but no joint action of the Council stating their feel ing was ttaken. Motion Made However, Bob Blair moved that Council president Dwaine Rogge appoint com mittee of Student Council members to work with the registrar during the concur rent registration period and that a report mcluding rec ommendations be made by March 1st Arts & Sciences representa tive Chuck Wilson told the council later that be felt that the council had "let down the students" who came to mera protesting the new system. Wilson asked the council to take definite action protesting alphabetical registration. Wilson said, "Whether or not the University listens to us, let's just say 'No, w don't want this' ". Gary Frenzel in response to this request reminded the council of the success they had so far on the proposed final exam schedule change. Work With Administration "This success was obtained by working with, not against the administration" Frenzel said. "Dr. Hoover has indi cated a willingness to coop erate with us to the utmost in trying this new system and evaluating its effect Let's work with the administration and get something done like we did on final exams. Hoover requested that at least three council members be present at all times dur ing registration tnis Janu ary. He said bis office would be most willing to cooperata and discuss the suggestions of the council after they faac seen the new system la a tion and had the opportunitj to sample student opinion or the new system.
