Sumiiicr Stock At Guignol

Centennial Theater Planned For This Summer

By SCOTT NUNLEY
Kernel Arts Editor
For the first time, Lexington
will have the benefit of a professional summer theater. As a project of the University's Drama
Department, under the management and direction of Mr. Charles
Dickens, a Centennial Theater

company will present nine plays
during the months of June, July,
and August.
A professional cast of two
actors and two actresses will be
augmented by an apprenticeship
program designed to benefit high
school and college students interested in draiva.
The plays will be varied, ranging from Moliere's "Imaginary
Invalid" to a musical version of
"Ten Nights In A Barroom."
With each production stage
setting and casting, too, will be
varied to provide fresh new approaches to the Centennial
Theater. Apprentice actors, when
qualified, will be given opportunities to compete for starring
roles.

The staging of this vital summer stock will not be done in the
standard proscenium arch staging
of the Guignol Theatre as it is
presently employed.
Centennial Theater productions will use a "central staging"
technique, whereby the audience
is seated in tiers on three sides
of the acting area. The fourth side
is occupied by a wall which can

be rearranged for theatrical effects.
As it is used now, the Guignol

Theatre auditorium seats approximately 430 persons. The central staging design of the summer
theater, however, will be placed
entirely upon the Guignol stage,
audience as well as actors, and
will seat an average of 130.
This difference in seating capacity is made up for by the
fact that each patron is in
intimate contact with the actors
and the drama itself.

Tanny Hill' Fails
By DICK KIMMINS
Kernel Movie Reviewer
Using sex as its main
draw, "Fanny Hill" fails
as an entertaining movie.
Most reviews that have been
published about the movie have
given it two chances of success
slim and none. One can readily
see why after watching the first
ten minutes. With the acting all
but absent, John Cleland's witty
book is lost in the jumble of
movieland's bid for the dollar.

A Review
Sweet, pure, innocent Fanny
Hill is portrayed by sweet, pure,
innocent Letitia Roman who
must have received her dramatic
training from Sears Roebuck.
Relying on the notices Cleland's book has recently received,
"Fanny Hill" attempts, and fails,
to ride the crest of success that
the book has enjoyed.
After the release and immediate success of "Tom Jones," Hollywood caught the bug of finding
and producing the bawdy books
that were. written in 18th Century
England. A more recent book,
"My Life and Loves" by Frank
Harris, is being studied for future
production.
Filmed and produced in merry
old England, the original uncut
version of "Fanny Hill" is currently touring Europe and enjoying tremendous popularity.
But the American censors, ever
present to stem the flow of immorality onto the silver screen,
have seen fit to chop away at
the film until all that is left is a
disappointment.

te

tcr commented that this does
not mean that sets will have to
be kept simple. "Designing for
central staging is much more difficult than for standard stages,
however," he said. "The audience is much closer than with the
proscenium arch."
The apprentice activities will
be supervised and directed by the
members of the resident staff.
There will be no tuition or apprentice fees, although students
will be expected to provide their
own living expenses during the
summer.
"At this time we arc not
offering University credit to students in the Centennial Theater,"
Mr. Dickens said. "Many schools
with similar summer programs
do. Perhaps in the future we may
be able to give credit hours, too."
The purpose of this first summer of the Centennial Theatre
will be to test the reaction of the
University and Lexington community. The Drama Department
hopes that the Centennial
Theatre may become a permanent addition to the University's
academic and cultural responsibilities.
There will be no season tickets
sold for the summer schedule, but
the admission price to each performance will be maintained at
$2.00. If the Centennial Theatre
were to become an annual event
it would strive to be

ft

The University's new Centennial Theater, will use the stage of the
present Guignol auditorium for audience as well as actors. The wall
behind the audience, at the right, will divide the Guignol stage from
the rest of the auditorium for the summer season.

A Twitch In Time
bomb scare is an interesting phenomenon and last night's
scare at the Margaret I. King Library was no exception.
In the first place, it demonstrated the devotion to duty possessed
by library personnel.
While student were herded to the
checkout lane, an attendant busily
checked books. Of course the library was choked with
crammers, and the line at the
counter grew longer and longer.
For all the attendant knew
the bomb could have gone off any
minute, but by golly he was going to protect those books against
A

theft!

Naturally this tended to strain
the nerves of the students in the
line. Some began to twitch notic-ablBut the attendant kept right
on checking books.
One student carried a large load
of books in his arms, and the more
nervous students in the line cast
nasty glances in his direction. They
cast even nastier glances in the
direction of the attendant, who was
still checking books.
The firemen had arrived, and
they began searching for the bomb,
in full view of the students. Less
devoted employes would probably
have deserted their posts at this
point, but not our checker. He
just kept on flipping through the

asking questions. This made the
officials even more nervous, and,
instead of twitching, one officer
tried to take our reporter's notes '

nervous at this point fearing reprisal from the Managing Editor
if he came back with no notes to
write a story from. Consequently
he held on for dear life.
A member of the Lexington Fire
Department then solved the problem. He was evidently very nervousabout a reporter being presentso he took the notes and
tore them up. And to make sure
he would remain calm, he ordered
our reporter out of the building.
Naturally our reporter was very
nervous at this point, and he began,
to twitch.
However, he decided this was
not the answer to his problem,
so he went around to the back of
the. building and interviewed the
janitor, who gave him the whole
story. The janitor wasn't nervous.
He had seen Kernel reporters beforeand he had seen a few bombes
scares too.
By this time there were no more
books to check, and the checker

Stuffed Shirts In The Classroom
Writing in the current issue of
Harper's, Oxford graduate Richard
Gilbert makes comparisons between his alma mater and the school
at which he is now teaching, UCLA.
The comparisons reveal a basic
fault in the English system of higher education and an inherent advantage in the American system.
Mr. Gilbert alludes to the intransigence of the English collegesthe legendary British stuffed
shirt carried over into the classroom.

The contrary situation exists in
most colleges in the United States.
They are characterized by an informality in the learning process.
While Oxford's requirements are
more rigorous a definite advan-ag- e
over the American system
these requirements are pursued in
an atmosphere characterized by
formality. This reserve, which has
traditionally been attached to English undertakings, is stifling when
applied to the educational process.
In America, on the other hand,
lines of communication are relatively open among students, faculty,
and administration. The student
pursues his education in an atmos

phere much less tense, and much
less rigid.

The result is that in English
schools the student learns a great
deal about
at the
expense, many times, of unhindered
creative expression.
The English student's counterpart across the Atlantic may suffer
from a lack of scholarly discipline
(particularly on the undergraduate
level), but he is learning a great
deal about the exciting challenge
of the creative process.
Although these are gross generalizations, there is perhaps more
than a grain of truth in them
and an ' important truth it is, for
the future of higher education in
America is being shaped at this
moment in administrative and
faculty councils across the country.
Certainly the introduction of a
greater portion of scholarly discipline is necessary in the colleges
and universities of the United States. More rigorous standards are
self-disciplin-e,

needed.

However, the natural informality which characterizes American higher education is a valuable asset one which should be
preserved.

radios close to their cars. Surplus
Army packs were strapped to
backs; several carried lunches in
wrinkled paper sacks.
All the demonstrators were not
collegians, though. One elderly
woman carried a poster with
magazine pictures showing the
brutality of the Southeast Asia
war. Several young mothers pushed baby carriages. One pregnant
woman fanned herself with a
'
small placard.
A few tourists joined the
march "just to have somethingto
tell the folks back home," they
said.
Student peddlers hawked socialist magazines while others
handed out Communist propaganda.
Young Nazi party members,
staging a
on the opposite side of Pennsyl
vania Avenue, touched off the
only incident reported by police.
Provoked by a Bob Dylan record
being played by an antiwar demonstrator, one Nazi sympathizer
stomped on the portable record
player. About 10 policemen tack-ele-d
the Nazi and hauled him
away. He was later returned after
the student declined to press
charges..
Another counter-pickgroup,
Young Americans for Freedom
(YAF) also marched. Police kept
the factions separated, but shouted insults were exchanged frequently.
One elderly man, dressed in a
suit covered with "Smash Communism" stickers, carried a huge,
eight-focross bearing the words,
"We support our President in
'
"
'
Vietnam." ' '
Asked what he thought of the
marchers across the street, he
said, "
