The Kentucky. Highway Department and the Bureau of Public

The methods used In the project
are not a secret. They involve
principles of reward and punishment.
For example, a chimp that fails
to respond to a signal gets an
electric shock, and when he does
respond, he gets a tidbit.
Sources familiar with the nation's space program said that the
ape push a button or buttons
responding to a visual signal in
order to test their reactions while
in actual flight.
These reactions will be valuable
in discovering how reaction time
is affected under extreme acceleration, deceleration, or weightless-

Shakespeare said it this way
"The smallest worm will

But

Miguel de Cervantes

beat him to it in "Don
Quixote", Part II, Book 3:
"Even a worm when trod
upon, will turn again."

"MUSIC HAS CHARMS'
The 17th Century playwright, William Congreve,
was the first to set down this classic metaphor

concerning the powers of sound and rhythm.
You'll find the whole quote in "The Mourning
Bride", Act I, Sc. 1 1

"Music hath charms fo sooth me savage breast,
sofen rocks, or bend a knotted oak."

"RHYME OR REASON
Edmund Spenser, 16h Century poet, expected a
pension. He didn't get it. So he wrote this rhyme:

'Our Town' Rercviewed
By An English Teacher

-

(EDITOR'S NOTE
John Parker, a
UK English instructor, has written this
review of "Our Town" after he disagreed
with Kernel writer Suzy Horn's in yesterday's pajer.)

"Our Town" by Thoi ton Wilder is one
of the celebrated dramas of our time, and
the exquisitely evocative performance of
the Guignol Players is one of the great
moments in the history of the Kentucky
theatre. The masterful oitrayal of the
Stage Manager by Bush Hunter is a lesson of how lresh and exciting een such
a well known role can be. How great he
would be as Hamlet or Othello!

The challenge in the role of Emily
Webb a young girl irr loe, a mother
(who in eight seconds has to change from
deceased mother to a
a
schoolgirl) is thoroughly met by
Penny Mason, one of the most "promising
ingenues Kentucky has ever had. The
scenes describing her feeling of desperation as she returns to life after death
leave nothing to be desired. Her careful
control of pitch and superb timing make
her comment, "Does any human being
ever realize life while they live it every,
every minute?" meaningful to everybody
in the audience.
Another difficult assignment, the juvenile lead, is played with taste and discernment by Lamar Herrin, who captures the
shy, awkard qualities of a bashful adolescent so well that one might well expect
these characteristics inherent in the performer.
The two mothers, Linda Rue and
Lynne Smith, playing, resjectively, Mrs.
Gibbs and Mrs. Webb, bring to their roles
mature understanding and warm vitality.
The ease and naturalness with which
these ladies prepare breakfast, using no
properties ai d doing everything by pantomime, is a study in stage projection.
The two fathers Dr. Biggs, played by
Larry Strong; and Mr. Webb, played by
Richard Jones are both outstanding.
Richard Jones brings to his characteristics insight and nuance, playing with a
clear insight the betuddled qualities of
