By CAROLE MARTIN .

Assistant Managing Editor
Experienced performers proved the determining factor
in Guignol'i successful production of Maxwell Anderson's
"Wlnterset" last night.
Stellar performances were delivered by Jim Slone, Bu&h
Hunter, and Charles Dickens. Hunter Is the only actor-stude- nt
of the three.
Mlo, the young Hamlet-lik- e
lead, wan excellently handled by veteran actor Slone. His treatment of character
and dialogue brought him close to a comparison with
Burgre Meredith, who was Mio In the film version of
this brilliant verse play.
Hunter portrayed the consumptive Trock with
feeling and conviction. He was exactly the type
of undesirable character you would expect to find Involved In so dastardly a crime.
In the action of the play, a poorly played Esdras would
be nearly overlooked. But Charles Dickens made the
character the Integral part Anderson meant It to be.
Fhjllls Haddlx survived a very difficult role due to her

Immense knowledge of characterization and technique.
Though usually the laurel winner, Miss Haddlx had a
little trouble being a convincing Mlrlamne In the first part
of the thrceacter.
However, her second part performance was nearly flawless, and rightfully so, for this was Mirlamne's meatiest
hour.
John Prlchard, usually a quite competent actor, had a
little trouble making himself understood and some of
his best lines went unnoticed. He played Garth Esdras.
Somehow Russ Mobley did not seem to play the part of
the demented Judge Gaunt as well as we had hoped. He
did have a few brilliant moments though.
Doug Roberts stole quite a few scenes in his role of the
mentally deficient hobo. Especially noteworthy was his
skillful pantomiming.
Tom Marston gave perhaps the most outstanding minor
role performance of the evening. As Trock's henchman,
Shadow, Marston played his death, (or
--

scene superbly.

Death scenes have a strange habit of slipping Into the

"hackneyed" classification, but the very bloody r Shadow
saved the whole scene from being labeled trite.' He conveyed his suffering remarkably well.
Linda Crouch, a New York floozy; Don Galloway, Carr,

the drifter; and Joe Florence, the organ prindrr Herman,
deserve recognition for their realistic performances. .
And Joseph Marks proved to be the finest of New
York's -- finest."
Special plaudit is warranted by the backstage crew.
The set decorations were some of the most forceful and
skillfully designed ever to grace the Guignol.
Several scenes In the production came off exceptionally
well, and from my side of the footlights the reason was
the fine directing of Wallace Briggs.
Particularly worthy of mention was the street scene
with no less than 13 people congregated on about
of the stage. Anyone acquainted with the theatre
Is aware of the difficulty Incurred In such a situation.
Without proper direction, this scene could have proved
lrritatlngly gauche. In last night's production, It seemed
as if no such difficulty ever existed.

led to this line of inquiry:
Joyce Malcomb, Junior from
Louisville :
"I feel that any such Incident

"If a rule has been violated, I
don't think special privileges

it would be for any other student
who had done the same thing.
"If we are to have equality under the law in - our democratic

"If an individual has attained

such status by virtue of some outstanding service which is conducive
to the common good of his school

Alton Spear, Kettle, junior:

'no' and that is what I would say,

"I would like to qualify that,

* Honor And Cheating
The nationwide furor being raised
over TV quiz shows has touched off
an explosion of discussion on college
campuses as to whether producers
were morally justified in giving contestants answers and then deceiving
the public by the presentation of
"fixed" shows.

fellow students and therefore condone cheating.
This is the paradox present in the
University today. Students scak in
idealistic and magnanimous tones of
the virtues of honesty and integrity
and revolt vehemently when someone
else is caught in the act of cheating.
Yet, they go right on cheating them-

'..'.

some sort of warped loyalty for their

The crux of the controversy

ac-

tually boils down to whether entertainment (at the cost of cheating)
should be placed above honesty (at
the cost of less dramatic shows). The
argument has been made that the
American people are gullible anyway,
so why not practice duplicity on
them? After all, isn't it good entertainment they are seeking?- -

selves.
We, being adherents of Abe and

George, would like to believe that
honesty and integrity are more than
words to use in philosophy class. We
would like to believe there is such a
thing as personal honor and that
cheating is a breach and a downright
insult of that honor.

But many other Americans, adherents of Abraham Lincoln and
George Washington, have taken the
right stand.
The paradox of the situation comes
when college students are confronted
with a similar cheating incident on
their own campus. Many of them
stoutly defend the cheater for various
reasons. They sympathize, asking
that people investigate why he needed
to cheat; they rationalize, saying "it's
a required course, anyway"; and,
worst of all, they do it themselves.
But, other students, adherents of
Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, have taken the opposite
stand.
However, refusing to cheat themselves, they allow cheating to go on
around them and fail to report,
despite their love for Abe and George,
what they see. They evidently feel

Students are not the only campus
group to cheat. Members of the
faculty have standardized their tests
to the point where cheating is about
the only practical way "to study. The

Why Not Sign It?
An increasing
volume of letters
with requests of "Please withhold
frames" on them have oured into the
office during the past two weeks.
However, many of our writers have
used the "Name Withheld" tag to hide
behind in making personal attacks.
We believe that if you have anything
to say about anyone, you should not
be afraid to reveal your name.

One of Kentucky's early and famous
editors, Marse Henry Wattcrson, had
the same soit of conviction. He said
he would not piint anything against
anyone unless he were willing to say
the same thing to the person' face.
We will tun your letter with ifame
withheld if you do not nuke personal
attacks. If you do, your Hctter will
find the nearest wastebasket.

Readers9 Anger Is Raised By Test Stealings
Need To Steal?

To The Editor:

Considering the football player who
stole an examination paper, aren't we
making a federal case out of it?
If it had been anyone other than
an athlete, there would probably have
been little or nothing said about the
incident, and the same disciplinary
action taken.
Isn't it enough to get an "E" in
the course, especially a required
course? Everyone in the Social Sciences and Political Science Departments, of course, knows who it is,
and if he tries to take another course
in those areas, will probably have a
rough time. Since a number of credits
must be gotten in the social studies
area in order to graduate and everyone in those departments will be'
gunning for him, need there be any
more said?
The Lexington papers and the
Courier-JournaI am sure, have
given it state wide coverage. We must
congratulate them; they have not implied to their readers "football players steal exams."
What should also be considered is
what made the individual need to
steal the exam? Whether to be a football player or anyone else. The administration is trying to keep it as
quiet as possible. Why can't the
papers?

Architectural Fake

To The. Editor:

After seeing the design of the University of Kentucky's new northwest
center at Henderson, I wonder how
the University ever hopes to get an
outstanding, accredited architectural
school as now planned. No wonder
the architecture of Kentucky is so bad

when an institution such as the University, which has, or should have,
great influential powers, will accept
a design such as this.
It is little, wonder that they waited
until the building was started to put
the rendering in the paper. The design of this building ignores every
engineering advance of the last two
centuries, or else it is an architectural fake. If this is so, then we should
require the students to wear the
proper costumes, light it by candle
light, and take a few pot shots at it
with muskets. Better yet, use a cannon.
I think it would be interesting to
hear the justifications for this design.

Much More To Be Said

embarrassing nakedness.
Incidentally, one feels a little ill
when he recalls the case of the janitor
who sold a few unauthorized football
tickets a few weeks ago. His being
summarily fired contrasts strangely
with the treatment accorded the foot-baplayer. Mr. Editor, there is much
more you could have said in your

Test Stealing

To The Editor:

Since the main reason for this
column is for blowing off steam, that
is what I intend to use it for. The
Sociology Department isn't alone in
being '.'burned up", about stealing
and cheating on the campus.
Two years ago a student was caught
stealing a sociology test on the University of South Dakota campus. The
administration there took the same
stand that this one has taken. The
only thing ever learned for sure was
that the student was not- expelled.
For therest of the year' there was a
rash --of test pilferage. During this
time the stealing branched out into

books and then coats and hats and
finally everything that was not nailed
down. Alter expelling one student
and putting several more on prcK
bation lor the rest of their stay
the university, the situation eased offv

aj,

have heard on several occasions
during the last couple of days a rc
mark to the effect, "If it had been
a peon like me, instead of a football
player, I would have been exelled."
One might ask in this connection,
how imjortant is our athletic program? Is intellectual growth to be
shoved aside in favor of sports? Or
could it be a matter of prudently not
biting the hand that feeds us? Another remark heard was, "Why steal
the answers? He could have become a
Creek and used the test files."
I

Let me ask you, who are supposed
to be shaping us for our roles as
pillars of society, don't you have
qualms of conscience about accepting
our money and then,' if not by commission, by omission, stacking the
deck against us? What incentive do
we have to refrain from following
suit from sheer self protection?

Congratulations on your uncovering
the story of the athlete who broke,
into a professor's office to steal examination questions. Your editorial
today, however, sounds a little apologetic for having broken the story.
The only place where apology is in
order is from those athletic and administrative officials who apparently
feel that breaking and entering for
the purpose of stealing and then
cheating on an examination does not
