By CHARLES STONE
Oulgnol Theatre believes in doing things In a big way.
"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

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.

Uranium Millionaire Still A Mechanic

Neil
RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP)
McNlece is a millionaire, but he
spends most of every day at his
little machine shop working as a
grease monkey.
He has made no concessions to
his new found wealth, and doesn't
Intend to.
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

counter looking for uranium.

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. H. Cranmer, president of
the New Park Mining Co., for formation of Lucky Mc Uranium

The lack of enthusiasm over student
government is not just prevalent here.
It is replete in the nation's colleges,

their student assembly a group where
suggestions are made; others operate
on the principle of cooperation with

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

actively in student goverment.

Supposedly the new constitution

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

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? Academic

The Campus Dog Invasion
Or, Barf, Spring Is Coming

Congress organize a committee for

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

Did his fraternity fail to meet the

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. They are in a "position of stability, strength, and respect," and I'm
sure they appreciate his implication
that they are not.
Perhaps his fraternity does not deserve "a position of stability strength
and respect" but t
