The Barber lives

' The Turnau Opera Players presented a non metropolitan
version of the Barber of Seville as part of the University
Speaker Artist Series, Thursday nignt at tne morasKa me'
ater,-
According to a member of the audience, the program
played to a packed house and responded to three curtain
calls. The reception was warm and quite typical of the type
found at operatic performances, even in weDrasKa.
: The audience was crowded with professors and students
alike according to one observer. Though the scenery was
successful in portraying the Italian setting, tne ugnung was
somewhat substandard according to another student who
looked at the more technical aspects. This is by no means
to take anything away from the cast, they did a superb
job he reported.
: With all due apologies to Rossini and the Turnau Opera
Company, this reporter thought it might be interesting to
recreate the Barber of Seville for the less knowledgable Uni
versity audience.
- It seems that in this small mid-Italian University there
was a big matchmaker who moonlighted on .the side as a
Barber to pay his room, board, and weekly drinking ex
penses. He was approached ore day by a pompous Freshman
by the name of Count It seemed that the count had a real
crush on Susie Sorority who lived on the other side of town
with her rich Doctor Friend (New Morality et, al.), and was
rather unapproachable.
The Count had decided to play the part of a busboy and
try to work his way into the Doctors house. Well, it seems
that the doctor was rather selfish and suspicious, and he be
came wise to the Count It seemed that the Doctor was
spending all of Susie's allowance and was quite content to
live this way.
The Doctors house is finally stormed by the Barber and
the Count who have decided that brute strength is the only
answer. The police are called by irate neighbors and the
Barber and Count are foiled.
The Count disguises himself as a private music teacher
and decides that Susie needs special voice training before
the Ivy Day sing. This attempt is also thwarted when the
Doctor finds out that Ivy Day is in the far distant future.
The Doctor sends for a lawyer to come and write a mar
riage contract. Meanwhile, Count and Barber return and
climb a ladder into the house. Doctor destroys the ladder,
but" the damage is already done. The Count is inside with
Susie and the Lawyer, and a wedding has taken place,
t Frustrated, the Doctor marries the Housemother of his
abode and is given Susie's dowry by a greatful Count. The
Barber gets enough money to be able to give up his clip
joint job and all ends well and good.
The moral of the story: Barbers who are really
B.M.O.C.'s can make a heap of a profit off of timid Fresh
men who are in love with sorority girls who are living with
greedy doctors.
number of students who say
they drink alcohol is consid
erable.
According to the survey
more than 90 per cent of the
students who answered the
survey said they drink alco
hol, and 57 per cent of those
students say they drank al
cohol before coming to the
university.
Do you ever cheat on ex
aminations? Nearly 26 per
cent answered yes, while 88
per cent indicated they would
not turn in a student if they
saw him cheating. But more
than half of the students an
swering the survey feel cheat
ing is a moral problem.
Are students concerned
about cheating or aren't they?
About 48 per cent said they
were concerned about the be
havior of students who are in
volved in cheating. Many add- j
ed they were concerned only
because the cheating student
might affect their own grades.
Cohabition known
Other results of the survey
pointed out possible student
opinion regarding sex and
homosexuality.
According to the survey, 56
per cent of the students said
they know of students who are
cohabiting and are not mar
ried. And, about 56 per cent
feel it is "moral' to have
pre-marital sexual inter
course. More man 57 per
cent said they knew of stu
dents who were taking birth
control pills.
Nearly 45 per cent of the
students said they were con
cerned with the behavior of
students who are involved in
sexual promiscuousness.
To 49 per cent of the stu
dents, homosexual activity is
not considered to be a moral
problem, but well over 70 per
cent indicated they would ei
ther "hit" or "beat up' a
homosexual if they were ap
proached by one. However,
the majority of those persons
who said they would hit the
homosexual also qualified
their answer by saying "if
he (or she) was smaller."
According to Harry Canon,
director of guidance counsel
ing the act of "beating up a
homosexual years ago) was
a way of proving one's mas
culinity, but now it would be
looked at as a personal hang
up."
Homosexual acts unknown
About 4 per cent of the stu
dents responding to the sur
vey said tbey know of homo
sexual activity (overt acts)
in their living units. Respond

trator if you were aware of
homosexuality in your living
unit," 47 per cent of the stu
dents said no.
Have you ever stolen? If
your answer is yes, you are
probably about average. Ac
cording to the survey 46 per
cent of the students said they
have stolen at some time in
their life, while only 11 per
cent say they steal now.
In order to stay awake to
study for examinations, about
46 per cent of the students
answering the survey said
they took pep pills, no doz,
diet pills or some other stim
ulant. (A side not to that,
church attendance at the stu
dent centers goes up 30 per
cent during finals. )
When asked what was the
most immoral thing one could
do, the most common response
was "to murder." There was
also a large number of stu
dents who thought incest was
most immoral.
