By WAYNE SMITH

The absence of practically all stage sets and properties will characterize the Outgnol Players' presentation
of Thornton Wllder'a "Our Town."
The play will be staged in the Guignol Theatre of
the Fine Arts Building Dec.
"Oar Town" will be the second presentation In Guig-nol- 's
complete season of revivals of their past perform-ance- s.
Principal characters In the first presentation during the 1939-4- 0
season who still lire in Lexington are
Dorothy Dyer Rodes, J. It. Faulconer, and Claude Trapp.
Concerning the addition of some forms of sets, John
Pritchard, student director, says, "our use of platforms
for certain dramatizations and very effective lighting,
rather than a completely bare stage, should make the
play tx very unusual production compared to the previous presentation of 'Our Town'!"
According to Pritchard, the Players feel that this
unique staging will help the audience see the real pur

pose and meaning of the play and apply it to their own
lives.
Prof. Charles Dickens, faculty advisor to the Players
and director of the Lab Theatre, says that "Our Town"
reaches Into the past of America and evokes movingly
a way of life which Is lost In our present turmolL
It Is not a picture of life in a New England village
but an attempt to place values on the smallest events
in our dally life, he said.
In the first act of the play, Wilder outlines the history
of Orover's Corners, N. H., and something of the character of its citizens. Then he carries the audience into
the Olbbs and Webb households, arriving at breakfast
time and then spending one entire day In the lives of
these people.
The second act concerns the love affair between young
George Glbbs, played by Lamar Herrin, and Emily Webb,
played by Penny Mason. The love affair culminates in
a moving wedding scene and the awakening of the
young people to the adult world.

The third act show the bride after her death, wishing
to return to the living. The other townspeople in the
cemetery on the hill, show Emily how futile it would
be to return, because the past cannot be
Within the audience lie the emotions of the play.
This is most evident when the audience recognizes
their own personal traits being protrayed on the stage.
Wilder, by staging the play in the early 1900's, affords the
audience a more objective visualization of the true meaning of the play.
The all student cast of 30 characters, under the direction of Pritchard, have been rehearsing the script
for almost she weeks. Pritchard says that the members
are working together as a group, rather than as Individuals, and are developing a relationship of roles so
necessary In a play such as "Our Town."
"Our Town" will run for the four nights of December
with curtain time at 8:30. Reservations can be made
by phoning UK extension 2396.

Along with Retting to fly, (most
consider it a privilege aa well as
a pleasure), the students receive a
dollar an hour for the time they
log in the air and two university

But It's not all play. Learning to
fly requires concentration, alertness, coordination and aptitude.
One of the reasons the Army and
the Air Rorce pay for having prospective officers taught to fly is
to see If the person has an aptitude for flying.

From then on, most of the time

The time in the air before soloing Is spent learning to take-of- f,

customs observed almost religiously
which have their roots in superstition and have no actual purpose,
such as covering One's mouth when
yawning or throwing salt over the
left shoulder.
These practices, although they may
have at one time held some religious
or practical significance, have now
become foolish to us and do not bring
about any material damage or loss.
Enforcement of such meaningless
folderol by- - law, however, could
eventuate in a condition which might
lead to ''governmental control over
citizens to a point where very smallest
.
actions are determined by stringent
legal gobbledygook.
Such legislation, under our present
system, is unlikely tobe enacted, but
the National Defense Education Act
contains a section equally foolish and
impractical the security oath required of students receiving loans or
scholarships under the NDEA.
The oath has received such criticism that many of the nation's colleges and universities have withdrawn
from it. In it, a loan applicant must
swear that he . "does not believe in,
and is not ,.a member or any organization hat believes in or teaches
the overthrow of the United States
government by force or violence or
by illegal or unconstitutional means."
While we do not doubt the importance and usefulness of federal
aid to education, the impracticality
and insult of requiring students to
sign such an affidavit is perfectly obvious. University students might as
well be required to swear they are
Baptists, Hottentots, or whatever.
The University of Kentucky, we
realize, still is in the program, but
apparently the overall importance of
the loan fund is reason enough to
; keep it. But that does not compel us
to actually endorse the loyalty oath.
All University students must sign
a loyalty oath as a member of ROTC,

since UK is a land-gracollege.
While it is doubtful that foreign
agents would choose to undermine
national security by working through
the ROTC program, the oath still remains. Honorable subversives will find'
themselves driven to conscientious
objection or the band to escape it.
Signing an oath for entrance into
the military also is dissimilar from
signing one for receiving a loan. An
oath, as we construe it, is an affirmation of propriety and should be
taken as having religious and civil
significance. But requiring a college
student, who is merely attempting to
finance his way through school, to
sign such an oath is indefensible.
Borrowing money is innocuous and
trivial enough. To attach security
measures is lowering the real purpose of loyalty oaths.
