By WATNE SMITH
In its 32nd year, the Oulgnol Theatre Is reaching back
into Its history to present a season of revivals.
Each play on this year's calendar has been produced
In years past by the group, and has been chosen for the
revival season because of Its quality and renown in the
dramatic arts field.
The first of the revival productions will be Maxwell
Anderson's "Winterset which was produced in Gaignol's
191849 season with Wallace Driers directing.
This production was memorable for several reasons.
It was the second play Mr. Briggs produced In the
temporary building erected on the Euclid Avenue site,
after a heartbreaking fire had destroyed Ouignol's
first home.
On a stage only 14 feet deep and 13 feet high, a set
was constructed to show the Manhattan skyline looming
beyond a bridgehead which actually seemed to span a
river. It was a masterpiece of deceptive perspective.

',
The "Win tersef program Included seven of the
YVIIY's announcers In its cast. 'Among them was Harry
Stanton, now Dean Stanton, who can be seen almost
nightly on television.
The only member of the original cast to be seen in
the revival will be Matthew Barrett, who nostalgically
returns to play his role of Lucia, the handorgan man.
"Winterset will be produced November
Thornton Wllder's "Our Town .will be ,the December
revival, and played originally the week of March 11,
1940. According to Oulgnol director Wallace Briggs, there
was much doubt about Oulgnol tackling a play of this
sort, with only pantomime and no setting or properties.
"It Is a play so different and so strange that it Is
always a challenge to a group of polished professionals,"
said Briggs.
But the reviews came out with four column headings;
"Oulgnol triumphs in current production of Our Town
that catches spirit of homespun New England living by
excellent directing and casting."

The review went on to comment i "Last night's
audience cried Justifiable tears at the fall of the final
curtain, applauded tumultuously, and came way from the
theatre volleying praise In all directions.
In an editorial, the Kernel advocated a need for a
new, larger, and more adequately equipped theatre for
the Oulgnol, after the turnaway crowds for "Our Town."
Demand for tickets was so great that the play was held

This second revival of Guignol's 32nd season will be
in the hands of the Gulgnol Players, the all student
dramatic group on campus. John Pritchard, a commerce
student, will direct the play with the supervision of the
Players faculty sponsor, Charles Dickens.

In this revival season four entirely different types of plays will
be produced. "Winterset" is an
exciting, poetic, gangster melo- drama; "Our Town" Is a no set,
no property play of homespun life;
"Peer Gynt" is a weird fantasy;
and "Ah! Wilderness" is a play
of nostalgic sentiment.
This season promises excitment,

alms of his book, Kirwan wrote:
"In the endless literature of that

valor of the Confederate soldier
has become part of the national
heritage and deservedly so If records, official and unofflcal, are to

Howevw, no mora thai a few
hundred thousand Confederates
were ever in service at any one
time a small fraction of the total
population of the South.
Kirwan devotes himself to this
beginning with an ordinance In
whlch South Carolina repealed Its
Constitutional ties with the Union,
and including with the plea of a
young Confedearte nurse for her
people to forget "all the wrongs
inflicted on us by our foe."

These are only a few of the possible types that should be inaugurated.
In order to have one for every day

"Queens for a Day" has been officially initiated on UK's campus.

Any hint of monotony could be
avoided by a huge contest at the
end of the year similar to the "Miss
American Pageant" where a "Queen
of the Year" would be selected from
the ones who were queen of the various days. This would still keep the
excitement- - of competition, while it
would allow more opportunity for
more girls to be queens.

m

There are too many girls with
enough beauty to make them "queens"
and not enough who have the modesty to hide it by remaining out of the
limelight.
"So what's so bad about that?" No

great thing. But, it does tend to take
some of the glamor when there are

The committee also could keep the
old tradition of our present queens

might also be advisable to have a
"Friday Queen" as a secondary prestige list.

Seating Plan
To The Editor:

There is a little issue that I would
like to clear up if possible. This concerns the new seating arrangement
at football games. I don't see why
everyone is kicking about the new
seating arrangement that is being put
into effect. Frankly, I am glad of it.
Just think of those poor fraternity
boys not getting to sit together at the
ball games. Why it almost makes me
cry when I think about such a horrible injustice. Another bad thing
about the old seating plan was that
the fraternity boys didn't get to sit
with their dates. (One of the complaints of the old plan). It's bad
when the ticket men start making
fraternity boys and their. dates take
seats that are not together.

Another fault of the old seating
arrangement was that in order to get

Ditches And Din
For the weaker souls, the advent of
cold weather may not be too welcome,
but to many on campus it is received
with a thankful sigh of relief.

It seems that a number of noisy
improvement projects have been going
on since the beginning of school.
Though there is probably a justifiable
reason for these projects being
squeezed intd the remaining balmy
weather of early fall, it, nevertheless,
is disconcerting to walk across campus and have to leap oyer ditches and
dodge cement mixers belching sloppy,
goo.

We laud improvements to the UK
campus. It would appear, however,
that in planning such' projects a
schedule would be' worked out that
would not interrupt and block campus
thoroughfares and would be less disturbing to classroom activities.
Much of the present construction
work might have been done during

the period between the closing of
summer school and the opening of the
fall semester before students arrive.
For one reason or another, it, wasn't.

The fact that the work being done
is for a parking lot makes it even
more difficult to understand. If the
present construction were for a new
building or the razing of one of the
anachronistic classroom buildings it
would be more understandable and
tolerable.
As it is now, the parking situation
doesn't appear so urgent that the
blaring noise of construction is warranted while classes are in session.

Though it has its discomforts, the
chill from the north winds should be
welcomed since classroom windows
can be closed and the din of campus
construction shut out until spring
arrives.
Then we start all over again.

Fun

To The Editor:
For several years I have been looking forward to attending regular
classes at UK. This fall the opportunity finally came.
Although some rooms are crowded
and narrow and classroom space is
limited, I realize these buildings have
to be used until new ones are available. After all, the room really doesn't
matter a student who wants to learn
can do so anywhere.
I happen to have entered a class
in which there are a few people who
evidently do not want to be there
who prefer to play cards, write notes,
chirp to each other (after having
raced to back rows), and disturb
those seated around them. What these
people do is none of my business as
long as they do not interfere with
my getting as much as I can from

the class. They have interfered repeatedly. For them I have this
message:
I have known several people who
would like to have your opportunity
of attending UK they could use your
space. To be filling a seat in a

crowded room and being a nuisance
seems more than unnecessary. It is
a waste of someone's money, your
time, energy, and abilities.
Many people here pay their own
tuition and prefer to hear the professor without being distracted. These
little "parties" are costing you and
those who have the misfortune to be
seated near you. I for one object to
your- "fun" costing me.

Theological Debates
To .The Editor:
In reading the Readers' ' Forum Oct.
15 I noticed a letter written by a
Catholic student, who signed it by
the way, opposing the letter written
(Oct. 8) condemning the Catholic
Church.
Her main points were that the
writer was bigoted and uninformed
about the church. This seems to illustrate that very few people really have
a chance to learn of others beliefs
through discussions and debates on
these matters.

There was a time in Lexington
when these debates and discussions
had world-wid- e
effects. No doubt,
some of the readers of this letter
notice my reference to the Campbell-Ric- e
debates,-wihcwere held just a
few flocks from this campus.
In my opinion a few debates and
discussions of theological concepts
would be in order now because of the
widespread new scientific discoveries
and ideas that have taken place in this
country.
Maybe we could learn alxmt how
much our religious ideas are based
on emotions and on reason. At the
same time such discussions as this,
in my opinion, would not destroy
faith because as St. Thomas Acquinas
said in so many words in his "Suinma
Theologica," that reason comforts
faith.
Maybe in these debates and discussions conducted with the spirit of
critical inquiry it could be determined
by apathetic persons whether' Christianity has any real reason for being.
For dedicated Christians this inquiry
would no doubt provide time, with
a stronger basis for their faith-reas- on.
