"Peer Oynt," its latest production opening Tuesday night, will highlight a cast of 40, use approximately 53 costumes, and have a new staging effect. It all began back in November when Guignol Director Wallace N. Drlggs picked up a copy of Ilenrlk Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," and began to read it through. Since that time, hours of work have been spent by Guignol planning for the produrtion of "Peer Gynt," and the problems they have encountered have been many. According to Briggs, one of the biggest problems to cope with is the large cast of approximately 40. To get 40 amateur actors on stage at one time and have them become an integral part of a group and to act natural rather than stand out as individual persons is a mast difficult task, according to Briggs. In a production of this type and size, costumes pose 4f" ( ;' "- 53 costumes must be used. Several members of the cast have two or three different costume changes. All costumes used In "Peer Gynt," like the costumes for any Guignol production, are made under the supervision of Mrs. Lolo Robinson, associate director of Guignol. Preparation for the large number of costumes began in the middle of January. Music for the play comes from Greig'a "Peer Gynt Suite." Several weeks have been spent on the special recording of selections from this music. It will provide the musical backgroundto be heard intermittently throughout the play. The problem of condensing and editing the original play was most difficult. Briggs said. The original performance time was four hours, and the Guignol production had to be shortened to two and a half hours. This called for the editing of five different versions of the original piay and required much concentrated effort. The original "reer Gynt" is done in five acts; Guignol's production will be done in two. Probably the most unique feature of "Peer" is the scenery that will be used. "Painting with lights rather than pigments is the idea," stated Archie Ralney, technical director of Guignol. This will be accomplished by the use of four movable velvet free form prisms. Colored lights will shine on the huge structures at different angles to produce different stage effects for the 11 major stage changes. The stage will be changed while the play progresses. This will be done by using a drop curtain. Briggs explained that the actors will move in front of the drop curtain while the stage is being changed behind. Continued On Page 8 Arr"n ....

The family car Is four years old and he still drives the old pickup that carried him to the uranium discovery that meant a l!j million dollar fortune. He has moved his family from a house to a one, but rather apologetically says the larger home "is far from new." McNiece even speaks as thoush his machine shop were his main fource of income: '"the uranium industry has helped my business and helped everybody in the area not as much as I might have hoped, but it's better all the time, with rebuilding motors and work on drilling equipment." It was Sunday. Sept. 13. 1953. when he and his wife Maxine and their two dogs rattled off on another prospecting trip in their muddy old truck. Neil had been roaming the central Wyoming hills ior two years with his $100 geiger counter looking for uranium. one-bedroo- three-bedroo- m m August, 1954, and put the first loads over tha scales of the River-to- n uranium buying station on March 1, 1!)55. 18 months after the original discovery. Utah Construction Co. was call- ed in to supply mining knowhow, and financial backing. Lucky Mc became the symbol of successful uranium mining. The company's output has been boosted to nearly 1.000 tons of ore a day, and a contract with the Atomic Energy Commission runs They headed for a remote section covered with sage brush and scrub pine known as the Gas Hills, 45 miles east of Riverton. In midafternoon McNlece spotted a yellowish outcropping of sandstone halfway up a hill. The couple climbed up to it and their geiger counter went wild. A 150 million dollar Industry was launched. From then on Neil's goal was a commercial mine and a mill to process the ore. There were dark moments for Neil and his partner, Lowell Mor-fielas they struggled through the unfamiliar maze of mine development. The savings of both men went into the bleak hills. Many major companies came, inspected, and condemned the Gas Hills in those eary days. Hut from the start McNlece rejected propromoters and posals. "I kept my mind on tre dirt," McNiece says. "If it won't make money from the dirt and what mother nature put there you better leave it alone, rather than sell a lot of stock and make a lot of people sorry." McNiece finally made a deal with W.

FRIDAY'S NEWS STAFF Jim Nolan, Sews Editor Anne Ftke, Aaocia In Student Congress A Revitalizing Revision Since election fraud, a poorly con- the student lawmakers to determine where their responsibilities lie in relation to the faculty and administration. Equally perplexing is trying to convince students that SC could work if there were more interest in it. The lack of enthusiasm over student government is not just prevalent here. It is replete in the nation's colleges, although there are a few schools which exercise a fairly strong student organization. Many merely consider their student assembly a group where suggestions are made; others operate on the principle of cooperation with the faculty and administration.. ducted rerun, and ineligibility ripped into the prestige of Student Congress with the ferocity of Jack the Ripper, the assembly has suffered from lack of confidence, enthusiasm, and power throughout the year. But the despairing depths it reached might soon 'disappear in the face of a radical constitution revision which is currently being drawn up by an SC committee. We have noted the ebullience of several SC members when they discussed the proposed revision. Although the constitution may or may not be adopted next week, the transition from an attitude of disgust to one of hope for improvement carries with it an indication that student government at UK will soon regain a respectable status. Whatever the implications of the SC's new constitution revision, we feel that a student voice even if it is in Unimerely a suggestive one versity affairs would shorten the communications gap between students, faculty, and administration. We do not know how much power the student legislators will have if the new constitution goes into effect. But we do know that it would be stifling to deny. their own power and representation by refusing to participate actively in student goverment. Supposedly the new constitution will improve the authority, the internal structure, and representation of Student Congress. Although it is vet to be determined how much these will be changed, we wish the revision would do something else also. True, student government has never been sharply defined at the Unviersity. For that reason, it is often difficult for We hope it improves Student In response to Matt Kcshishian's comments of Feb. 24 with particular reference to his remarks concerning fraternity scholarship and social pro- bation: He asks: "Why should fraternity men be made to have higher standings than nonfraternity men?" Why indeed? One very good reason which comes to mind is the fact that it is extremely unlikely that there is a fraternity on campus which does not have some sort of file system containing tests of all descriptions, files to which a nonfraternity man would not have access. Since it hardly seems likely that any professor would attempt to make any adjustment in the grades of those who had access to files and those w ho obviously did not, it seems to be a sort of poetic justice to require higher scholastic standings of fraternity men. Besides, since he virtuously proclaims that a fraternity is composed of a group of men "striving for scholarship," it would seem that social probation would not be even a remote possibility to these men of high ideals. Personally I happen to approve wholeheartedly of any device which serves to separate the sheep from the scholastic-ally- . He goes further to lament that fraternities "are forced to pledge some boys who don't belong in college." Since when, may I ask, has the right of a fraternity to choose its memlcrs been taken away? If he is a member of a fraternity which was "forced" to take in intellectual clods, then 1 would suggest he reappraise his fraternity's standards and make some move toward revising them. Did he ever consider what his fraternity has to oiler the pledge who might fail in the class of "boys who don't belong in college?" Any intellectual stimulation?

All I can say is that the recent canine invasion is a strong indication that this University is headed for the dogs anyway. I began with the iconoclastic motive of writing something to blast the dogs off campus, but, upon reflection, this didn't seem such a good idea. These dogs are probably more useful than other things. They are better, actually. They're nice and friendly and appreciative. They're also better off. They don't have routine messing up their day. Their only commitments are meals in the Student Union. Of course they are cold and homeless and friendless. But they don't have responsibility. You can probably tell that one of these dogs has T.B. or some lung defect, and I suppose this is a sufficient reason for. abolishing the animals, but that would be cruel and this is a benevolent University. At the risk of having the Humane Society on me, I could advocate an antidog league, suggest that Studeut To The Editor: men Or else that spring is coming.

How much did he contribute to the fraternity's academic average? A 4.0 standing? There are several fraternities on this campus which actuality do strive for scholarship, leadership, and friendship.
