Sakai Considers Laos Violence A
'Potentially Dangerous Situation'
Couutry Struggles To Keep Independence
By Don Bennett
The recent outbreak of vio

dangerous situation and of
more strategic importance
than that of Korea," accord

Henry IV, Part I
'Herciilean' Effort
Fills Play Casting
By Doug McCartney
The herculean effort of
casting Shakespeare's "Henry
IV, Part I," has been com
pleted, according to director
William R. Morgan.
The director had some 40
roles to fill for the original
cast, but cut some and
doubled roles to use 29 peo
ple. Entire Battle
"We exhausted the male
complement in casting the'
play," said Morgan, "and we !
still have to mount an entire !
battle of Shrewsbury."
He added that any young
male desirous of being a
"spearcarrier, crossbow man,
longbow man, pike man or
lancer" would be welcomed.
"They can work off their
aggressions by hacking away
at their friends," he laughed.
The soldiers won't be
needed until just before the
play opens, but should con
tact Morgan or call the
Theatre office as soon as pos
sible. Happy With Talent

talent that came out In esrh

The largest p 1 a n t i n g of
chrysanthemums in the 15
j ear history of mum research
at the North Platte Univer
sity Experimental Station is
now blooming.
Nine thousand mums will
bloom from now until the
first frost, with the peak
bloom occuring around Oct.
10. In addition to the mums,
there are many hybrid penste
mons and about 2,000 seedling
roses, according to Glenn
Viehmeyer, assistant horticul
turist at the Station.
The past 15 years have seen
the University's chrysanthe
mum breeding program grow
from a tiny, exploratory proj
ect to one that has achieved
world-wide recognition, Vieh
meyer explained.
Since the mum breeding
project was started, 22 va
rieties have been named and
introduced. Among the more
important is White Cloud, rat

struggling for the last several
years to maintain its inde
pendence from North Viet
Nam and Communist China.
There has been an active
Communist group in Laos, the
Pathet Lao or Free Lao par
ty. This organization has had
a military unit in Laos, form
ing a disturbing element and
resulting in moves by the
Laos government to absorb
the Pathet Lao into the na
tional army, he said. '
Sakai explained that ac
cording to newspaper reports
' the Communistic element had
been stifled, but at the same
time the announcements re
ported that Pathet Lao was
almost defeated and the re
cent qubreak occurred.
Question of Defeat
"One of the major questions
facing us," - Sakai said, "is
that of whether the Pathet
Lao was really defeated or if
the outbreak is the result of
Communist Chinese or North
Viet Namese aggression.
"At this time it is difficult
for each role," stated Mor
gan. "We'll have a real gung-ho
play."
Helping with the duties will
be Bunny Higbee, production
manager; Mary Dee Pattre
son, assistant to the director;
and Bernard Skalka, techni
cal director.
King Henry will be played
by Zeff Bernstien, a theater
major junior. He has had ex
perience in some 22 plays
and spent the summer at a
Estes Park Summer Stock
Theater.
Prince Hal
Stan Rice portrays Prince
HaL Stan is a speech major
and member the theater
honorary. The Masquers. He
also played summer stock in
Estes Park.
Falstaff will be represented
by Dick Marrs, graduate stu
dent. He is vice president of
the Masquers, and had major
roles last year in University
productions of "Merchant of
Venice," "The Matchmaker"
and "Ah! Wilderness."
John Wilson (Hotspur) is a
graduate drama major, who
started his acting career at
the age of seven in a com
munity theater.
Glendower will be played
by Eric Prewitt, a speech
major with five years of col
lege acting experience. He
was seen as Bassanio in last
year's production of the
"Merchant of Venice."
Lady Percy
Diana Peters, as Lady
Percy, was last seen in "The
Matchmaker." She is a
speech major and a member
of Masquers.
Lianne Jensen plays Mis
tress Quickly. She is a gradu
ate student specializing in

ON CAMPUS
to say if these countries are
directly involved. Our answer
will be known when the
United Nations team pub
lishes its findings."
How directly does this Far.
Eastern situation involve the
students of this University?
"This situation concerns all
of us very much," Sakai em
phasized. 'lf there has been
aggression, SEATO may be
called upon to fulfill its obli
gation to assist in resisting
aggression.
"If this outbreak deterio
rates in terms of increasing
activities, it could easily be
come another Korea, involv
ing American troops "
SEATO, South Eastern Asia
Treaty Organization, is com
posed of the United States,
Great Britain, France, Aus
tralia, Pakistan, New Zea
land, Thailand and the Philip,
pines. Laos Is protected by
SEATO.
Sakai considers the out
break more of a probing and
diversionary action on the
part of the Peking govern
ment rather than action which
might develop into a full-scale
war.
Internal Troubles !
"The Chinese have been
having considerable internal
difficulties and the Peking
press has been very active in
denouncing the U.S. for ag
gressive actions in Laos.
"This very possibly 'could
be an effort to divert the peo
ple's attentions from their
own problems by instilling a
great fear of U.S. aggression.
The Chinese are conducting
a tremendous effort for In
dustrialization which is diffi
cult in their case without a
psychological drive engen
dered by fear," he com
mented. Sakai went on to say that
the recent visit of Khrush
chev to the United States
might have some connection
with the violent outbreak.
"The Chinese Communists
are not too happy with the
Soviet leader in view of his!
recent attempts to talk peace
with the U.S. This may be
a pointed way of taking the
spotlight away from the peace
attempts." he said.

Student Insurance Plan
Will Close Thursday
By Jacque Janecek
Students have until Thurs
day to get in on their own
insurance plan, according to
Roy Loudin, director of Uni
versity Personnel.
Applications are available
in, Room 113, Administration
Building, or at the Student
Health Center.
Additional Costs
Loudin, who helped draw
up the plan especially for
single and married college
students, pointed out addi
tional costs this year are due
to a $20,000 loss taken by
Federal Life and Casualty of
Battle Creek, Mich, as of
Aug. 1.
, Single students can get the
plan , for $16.50 this year, $1
more than last, and rates for
married students, have gone
from (47 to $66.50. The mar
ried students' plan covers
spouse and children, accord
ing to Loudin.
Joseph Neal, representative
for this year's insurance com
pany, North American Acci
dent Insurance Company,
said Monday a total of 1,900
students had purchased the
plan so far. He said he hopes
to have a total of at least
3.000 after the Thursday dead
line. Maternity Costs
Neal pointed out that since
most benefits paid last year
were to married students and
for maternity costs, more
single student plans would
have to be sold to make up
the loss.
He also noted that the
$16.50 rate, S3 higher than
when the University plan was
originated in February, 1957,
would be guaranteed for at
least two years. The original
fee did not include an op
tional $5 for accidental death
benefits.
. Loudin and Neal, who say
students would pay $69 for
students are eligible for a
total of $1,000 in sickness pay
ments and $500 for accidents.
S3fto for Surgery
The $1,000 fee includes $15
a day for room and board,
$150 for medicine, $4 per day
for doctor and $100 for surgi
cal costs, according to Lou
din. Benefits totalling $5,000
