A nose complete with latex warts is being
applied to Mai Keelan to create Basilio for
"The Marriage of Figaro."
Latex warts and long, red-tipped
noses are being applied as student
musician-actors become the
characters in "The Marriage of
Figaro.".
"The Marriage of Figaro," a
comic opera, produced by the
departments of music and drama,
will be at Howell Theatre Wed
nesday through Friday evenings
and Saturday afternoon. All seats
are reserved.
"The whole story is filled with
intrigues and coutner-intrigues,"
John Zei, director, said.
WHEN FIGARO, valet to the
Count of Almaviva, announces his
intent to marry Susanna, the
countess's maid, A 1 a m a v i v a
launches a plot to foil him. Figaro
similarly sets out to foil his patron,
Zei explained.
"The result is ludicrous," he said.
Plot after countr-plot is overturned
and complicated and confused. A
drunken gardener and a prankster
page add to the tumult.
THE OPERA is "total theatre."
Zei said. It offers art in the
scenery, precise gestures and stage
motion and the intensely enjoyalbe
sound of singing," he explained.
The director promised a m b r e
polished performance than many
professional opera companies. He
said this is due to long and intense
training since rehearsal began in
September.
The traditional double cast will
perform on a set by Jerry Lewis in
costumes by Royal Eckert. Figaro
will be played by George Carpenter
on Wednesday and Friday and by
Bob Jones on Thursday and Satru
day. Susanna, played by Sharon Atack

Faculty answers don't agree why were in Vietnam
bv Bill Smithcrman
Nebraska Staff Writer
Why are we fighting in Vietnam?
University faculty members
disagree widely on the answer to
this and other related questions.
"We are in Vietnam in such
enormous strength, because of an
error," said Dr. Edwward T.
Meeay. associate nrofessar ot
political science. "We increased
our commitment originally,
because of the belief that we could
win through quick military action.
Now winning has become a matter
of prestige."
"We are fighting in Vietnam as
the result of a long series of
decisions made by representatives
of the American people," according
to Capt. Herschel A. Pahl, Pro
fessor of Naval Science.
"Our involvement there stems
from much the same reason that
individual Americans become in
volved in the fight against cancer,"
he said. "Americans traditionally
w'll not stand by and see their
fellow men gobbled up by disease
or aggressive neighbors.
"It is the American way to stand
up for the underdog. That is why
we're in Viet Nam."
Maior James M. West, assistant
professor of Aerospace Studies,
commented, "We have long-standing
commitments in Vietnam. A
very pronounced aggression was
taking place there and for our word
to mean anything we had to uphold
these commitments."
"There is no completely clear
reason for the American involve
ment." said Dr. Luke T. Lee.
visiting professor of political
science. "Some of the justifications
given in the past have been U.S.
oligations under the SEATO treaty,
the potential danger of mainland
China, the policy of containment,
and the 'Domino' theory."
Assistant Professor of Militarv
Science Frank G. Willey, Jr. said
"We are fighting for an ideology in
Vietnam. This is a new ktiid of war.
We can win a military battle and
lose a political one or vice-versa."
Are we winning the war?
"We have done anite well in
Vietnam", said Maj. West. "We are
making good inroads in stopping
the aggression. The South Viet
namese government is becoming
stronger and more able to govern
effectively. We have managed to
keep the country from going under
when it might have."
Dr. Megay said, "Our military
situation is probably about a draw.
Winning is out of the question."
"Militarily, we have been doing
quite well at wearing down the op
posing forces", said Willey. "Right
now though, we are at a wait-and-see
stage.
"But, the military aspect is only
one part of this war," he continued.
"In this kind of war you don't have
to kill a man to defeat him. If you
can win the support of the common
man in the country, the guerrillas
cannot operate.
"Tn the afteiDt to win the active
support of the people military
forces are now engaged in con
structive activity there. Military
men are aiding the people as
engineers, doctors and teachers,"
he said.
"We are doing well in this effort.
I'm happy to see the army becom
ing constructive as well as
destructive," he added.
"The fact that peace talks have
begun indicates that this war can
not be won by force alone", Dr. Lee
echoed.
What do you think of the Paris
peace talks?
"Not much progress will be made
in the peace talks until the new
administration comes to power,"
Dr. Lee said. The talks will be
worthwhile, though.
"The negotiations themselves in
dicate a tacit agreement to a
reduction of the level of fighting.
Peace talks are always a good
beginning toward peace."
He added that a stalemate
will probably continue for some
time and there will not be a com
plete peace in the near future. "The
level of fighting will be reduced in
gradual stages," he added.
Willey said, "Any time that men
can talk rather than fight is good.
However, we should not let the
talks weaken our bargaining posi
tion. "We cannot recognize the Viet
Cong in the talks," he continued.
"This is one of the things that the
V.C. have been fighting for.
"In the negotiations we cannot
afford to make the mistakes we
have made in the past. They are
much more costly today."
"Both the North and South Viet
namese are exploiting our situa
tion," Megay commented. "We
have gotten ourselves into a corner
through our mistakes and they
have no intention of letting us out
easily. I can see no settlement in
the immediate future."
"The conflict over seating the
Viet Cong at the conference table is
basically sound," he continued.
The South Vietnamese consider the
Viet Cong as rebels. They will no
more negotiate with them on an
equal basis than the North would
have negotiated on an equal basis
with the South during the American
Civil war."
"Negoations are going to be long
and hard," Maj. West said.
"Negotiating while you are still
fighting is a hard thing.
"I think that some day peace will
come to that country," he con
tinued. "There are many factors
involved. But, sometime in the
future, I think, the talks will result
in a peace that is acceptable to
both sides."
