Play's strength lies 1 in audience empathy i by Rodney Powell ) Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming" is appalling appall Ingly funny. That profound end of Act I as Max, the whacks his brother with his son to Kiss and cuddle." Hilarious. What makes it all the more cares aoout the characters; someone is getting hurt (in To reveal the outcome seems to me, spoil much inereiore, i snail give a brief synopsis of the action. MAX, THE quintessential dirtv old man. lives (in dilapidated house in London) pimp, ana joey, a ooxer chauffeur. They hate each somehow manage to tolerate T.JJ.. Tl. -v icuuy, a rn.u. in pnnosopny ana Max s only "suc cessful" son returns with his leaay leaves under circumstances of which the watchful mothers of Nebraska would not approve. Max finds out something about old age and oi play. rimer plays around with quite common mother love, the needs of fathers, the needs of sons, etc., etc., etc. What distinguishes the play is the dialogue. Briluant fights by Max and Lenny are particularly effective, and the performances by Don Sobolik aim uenis uaianara, respectively, are outstanding. Sobolik remembers his youth (fondly), curses his current situation (obscenely) and searches for fulfillment (gleefully). Calaudra is a pimp, wheedling, cowering or bluffing, but always a felt presence. Andy Backer, as Sam, and Chris Stasheff, as Teddy, are equally effective in less histrionic roles. The main weakness of brilliant male characters, Pinter fails to create a believable female. She seems to be nothing but a walking symbol, enigmatic (of course) and emasculating (likewise). Jean Calandra is adequate, but the part as written is just not convincing. John Hopkins as Joey suffers from the same problem the character just seems to be filling a place in Pinter s design and does not live in the action. Technically, the University Theatre's production is ade quate. The one room set is lighting appropriately naturalistic (although a bit out of synchronization on opening night). .. Robert Hall s direction deserves commendation, for the production sustains interest stop-and-go conversations for 1ms is a play to see, not as a duty to "Art" but as a positive pleasure. It is entertainment in the best sense of the word. Piester: youth is qualified to vote Nebraskans should accept 19 and 20-year-olds as partners in democracy by voting for constitutional Amendment I to lower the voting age according to Dave Piester. chairman of Nebraskans for Young Adult Suffrage (NYFAS). Piester told the Young Democrats Thursday night that ,the time has come for Nebraska voters to realize that young people care and are qualified to do something about this nation THE 36,000 young people between the ages of 19 and 21 in Nebraska can handle responsibility and are well educated, he said. The 19- year-old has finished high school and the required civic courses and 65 per cent of those 19 and 20 are in the labor force. "Let us put our education to work when interest and in volvement are at their highest levels right after high school," he said. In Kentucky, For Sale: Year End Oaraac. M Triumt.

With four appropriately dingy and the even during the pauses and which Pinter is famous where the voting age has been lowered to 18, voter participation has increased in all age groups, he con tinued. Nationally voter turnout is lowest in the 21-30 age group, Piester said, because by the time people are 21 they are so far removed from the educa tional and voting processes they are no longer interested in voting. Amendment I would enable young people to participate in government when they are most en thusiastic and knowledgeable about it. IF YOLXG " PEOPLE become frustrated because they can not participate in government, some will keep trying and pushing and end up farther from the middle of the road toward extremism, Piester warned. Piester agreed that most young people will vote the same as their parents, but that in any age group, 70 per cent of the people vote as their parents do. He urged the Young Democrats to vote and work 'for" the nonpartisan amendment. The Young Democrats unanimously passed a resolution favoring Amendment L WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN . . .

Executive more progressive than Continued from pg. 1 He said be was planning on arranging some sort or meeting between the Regents and the students so some dialogue could take place "As it is. they seem to feel they are elected to run the university, but are not answerable to the people who make up the university. However, he said that so far this year, the administration has come up with more pro gressive programs than the student senate. "I find it disappointing when I find more progressive people in the administration building than In the student senate." Dreezen also has some outspoken thoughts on what a university education snouia be: "The education we're get ting is largely a waste of time," he said, explaining that the emphasis was too much on technical informa tion in the natural and physical sciences, and even in the "liberal arts" courses. The executive stated that even meniy tecnnicai in formation could be presented in an imaginative and rele vant way.

If you're in engineering you should discuss the question, 'What if you're asked to build a highway through a ghetto?' This isn't a real world as it's being taught now . . . this is just an abstract game we're playing. All the classes can be made relevant to reality if we try." HE SAID that the courses need to be re-evaluated. "They're too fragmented now, nothing follows anything else. We should be integrating and synthesizing all the different fields." He said the Centennial Col lege, which the Regents recently approved, "will be a good first step" in this direc tion.

"We know what excites us and what we want to be taught and what's relevant to us now. The faculty ought to listen to the students and find out why we're not being turned on." In his opinion, classrooms, grades and strict curriculum standards should be abolish ed. "I realize this would be hard, especially in the first year.

"I don't think the march did anything to change anyone's mind. I just hope it showed the people in the march what they have to do' now. Before the march the real radicals on campus were saying the march wouldn't accomplish anything, and it seems ironical that afterwards Mayor Schwartkopf said that the march didn't change a thing.
