Nightmare?
No, Just
Paperbacks
Book Stores
Offer Variety
The stranger stepped down
into the small room and was
suddenly engulfed in innum
erable books orange books,
yellow books, striped books,
dotted books, books with
sketches on the covers, books
with photographers on the
covers, plain books without
even titles on the covers.
He turned to leave the nar
row room but couldn't pull
himself away. A small vol
ume, "Modern Woman, The
Lost Sex" had captured him.
This is not a nightmare or
a television commercial. It
is a room familiar to most
students and faculty on the
University campus the pa
perback book rooms of the
campus book stores.
The stores stock over 4,000
books according to title "al
most all the paper bound
books in print," said one as
sistant manager.
Authors as ancient as
Aristophanes and Machiavel
Ii and as modern as Steve
Allen and Jack Kerouac have
penned the many volumes.
If you need to know "Con
tract Bridge," "Campcraft,"
"The Holy Bible in Brief,"
the "Meaning of Meaning,"
"Sex and Repression in Sav
age Society," or "How to
Read a Book," the book stores
have it.
Yon may find good bedtime
reading in "Investors Guide
to Success," by Alice Morgan
of the "$64,009 question" fame
or "True Tales from the An
nals of Crime and Rascality"
by St. Clair McKelway.
And there is even a plastic
bound book binding kit for
paperback books on sale for
the avid collector of the pint
sized volumes.

The Faculty Senate
Council, request that final examinations begin on Tuesday rather than
Monday.
The change will not take effect until the 1960-61 semester.
. Approval of the motion offered by Rr. Robert Staples, chairman of the
Calendar Committee, climaxed months of work by the Council and other
interested groups in getting the new rule adopted.
Only a scattering of nays greeted the final vote.
An amendment, offered by Dr. Glenn Gray, was also approved. It
provided that the dates for submitting early grades for graduating
seniors be changed.
Tuesday.to Thursday
Up to now, the grades for seniors had to be in the day after examina
tions ended. The Gray amendment would require the registrar's office
to change the date to Friday, a day before commencement.
' Mrs. Irma Laase, assistant registrar, assured members of the
Faculty Senate that some arrangement could be worked out.
Final exams, under the new rule, would begin on Tuesday and end
the following Thursday.
The Student Council built its arguments for the revised rule on these
premises:
1. The change would allow students to study on Monday rather than
plunge directly into final exams.
2. The present schedule makes pre-examlnation study especially dif
ficult for the many students who work on Saturdays.

soliciting opinions on the change were returned almost unanimously in
favor, Staples told the Senate.
He said the Calendar Committee was abandoning its previous neutral
stand on the issue and was recommending approval of the Council re
quest. When the objection was raised that the change would not allow
enough time to get early grades submitted for seniors, Staples said that
Dr. Floyd Hoover, registrar, had indicated the change "would not in
terfere one way or the other" with his duties.

Tebo, Baker
Leads Praised
By George Meyer
Indoors, outdoors what's
the difference as long as
somebody finally got to see it.
And pretty good it was, too
"The Taming of the Shrew"
that is. The much postponed
University Theatre production
was presented before a small
but appreciative audience at
Howell Theatre la:t night.
The play was originally
scheduled for the Centennial
Mall, and it suffered some
what from being moved in
doors. It was rained out twice
last week. Director Gerald
Calsonr who got on stage
himself in a small part, had
only 20 minutes to run his
cast through their blocking on
tiie Howell stage.
In spite of these difficulties,
James Baker as Petruchio
and Bonna Tebo as the shrew,
Katherine, lived up to their
advance billing. They had able
help from Roy Willey, an ac
tor who lets the audience hear
every line.
Among others in the cast
who stood out were Steve
Schultz whose L u c e n t i o
looked more like Schultz than
Shakespeare. In this part, it
worked out very well.
John Erickson as Petruch
io's servant, Grumio, mugged
and shouted his way to a good
comic performance.
Erickson sometimes was so
concerned with volume that
he forgot articulation, 'as did
Sally Wengert as Bianca. The
rest of the cast also suffered
from this difficulty at times
as well as a notable tendency
to drag when one of the prin
cipals was not on stage.
The play was performed on
a bare stage with only a few
props. Actors charged down
the aisle shouting lines or
stormed up them with the fe
male characters slung over
their backs screaming.
All in all, it was a refresh
ing, if at times confused,
performance. i
