Portrayals In Drama
Are Found Surprising
By JACK BODDEN
CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY,
directed by Angus Springer and as
performed Thursday night, was a
production full of surprises and ap-
parent improbabilities. The im-
probabilities are the unusually large
number at new-comer’s to the stage;
tire surprises are the surprising por-
trayals given by some of the new-
comers.
Bill Springer and Stew Slater play-
ed the rales of narrators. Both actors
wore masks, one white, the other
black; this was the only make-up
the actors wore and served to iden-
tify them as Negro and1 White re-
spectively. Both men seemed well
cast; their- expression was good.
One very important function of their
roles was to give exposition con-
cerning events which were to take
place later in the play. On the whole
they were very effective as to the
play and to their respective roles.
The biggest surprise of the even-
ing was the startling performance
turned in by Fred Kandler. The role
of the Rev. Stephen Kumalo was
Fred’s first appearance and his first
major dramatic role. During the
last scenes it was apparent that
Mid-Term Graduates To Take
Grad. Record Exams In January
By DONNA VOSS
While the rest of the school will
be diligently beginning study for
their mid-year tests, the Fall grad-
uates will be taking their Graduate
Record Examinations. These are
tests taken by second semester sen-
iors or students in their last seme-
ter of college. The Fall graduates
will take them January 8, 9, and 10,
1964, and Spring graduates are to
take them May 7, 8, and 9, 1964.
There are three types of tests in-
cluded as Graduate Record Exam-

inations. They are the Area Tests,
the Advanced Tests,* and the Apti-
tude Tests. The Aptitude Tests are
not given at these times, but appli-
cation blanks for them may be
picked up in Dr. Custer’s or Dean
Clifford’s offices. Most graduate
schools require the Aptitude Tests
for admission.
The Area Tests arc to measure
the graduate’s understanding in the
general areas of the social sciences,
humanities, and natural sciences.
The Social Science Test is designed
to measure the individual’s under-
standing of the interelated social,
economic, and political problems of
contemporary society. The Humani-
ties Test is a means of evaluating
normal undergraduate experience in
literature, philosophy, and the arts.
The Natural Science Test is a mea-
surement of the student’s grasp of
scientific methodology and of the
simple but fundamental concepts
which are of general value. The test
questions deal with the fields of
physics, chemistry, biology, astron-
omy, and geology.
The Advanced Tests are designed
to measure the achievement of the
Student in his major field of studty.
Advanced Tests are given in the
fields of biology, chemistry, econo-
•mics, education, engineering,
French, geology, government, his-
tory, literature, mathematics, mus-
ic, scholastic philosophy, Spanish,
philosophy, and speech.
The Aptitude Test is a measure
of the general scholastic ability of
the graduate. A verbal ability and
a quantitative ability score are
given. Verbal reasoning questions
and reading comprehension ques-
tions drawn from and bordering on
several fields are included in the
verbal ability testing. To measure
one’s quantitative ability, various
kinds of quantitative - mathemati-
cal materials, such as questions on
arithmetic reasoning, on algebraic
problems, and on the interpretation
of graphs, diagrams and descrip-
tive data are used.

Fred’s performance moved the audi-
ence. In all fairness the performance
by Fred was one of which he can
well be proud.
On the other side of the picture
there were some portrayls of definite-
ly lower caliber. The role of James
Janus enacted by James Colley ap-
peared to be far too mechanical
both as to movement and vocaliza-
tion. James seemed to lack the
polish to give his rather unrealistic
role a spark of life.
Other performances worthy of
note are those of Ann Allaway as
the prostitute Gertrude Kumalo.
Miss Alloway’s dramatic talent was
obvious even in the somewhat
dubious role of a prostitute. Angus
Hendrick as Absalom showed obvious
inexperience but also showed flashes
of real ability. Robert Neubauer as
John Kumalo did a fine job in his
limited role.
Joe Aranki as Father Vincent
gave real impetus to a character
who was not really essential to the
plot. Joe was another of the sur-
prises, a fine performance of human
feeling and understanding.
While CRY, THE BELOVED
COUNTRY may not be the best per-
ences have or will see, it is definite-
ly worth seeing, despite the im-
probable aspects of certain portion
of the actors. It is definitely not
tiie “Amature Hour” type production
that one might be led to expect.
Editor’s Reflections
By JOHN WALLACE
CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY,
the second play of the current sea-
son, may easily prove to be the
sleeper of the year. The two-told chal-
lenge of producing here a play
written in poetry and a play calling
for thirty speaking roles no doubt
'caused much anxiety; but it came
off in a masterful way. Certainly
the expected errors which always
will accompany a first-night perform-
ance were heavily outweighed by
the force of the many brilliant, im-
pressive qualities.
Despite the lack of experienced
support for the lead roles, (my only
serious complaint), the production
was a kaleidoscope of superb fea-
tures. The two narrators, Stew Slater
and Bill Springer, in a great perform-
ance which more than achieved
their apparent purpose, were as at
liome with their twentieth century
audience as the chorus must have
been to the Greeks of the Golden
Age.
Of the cast, it was not at all dif-
ficult to become aware of the
“heroes”. Fieri Kandler, Stew Slater
and Bill Springer, Ann Alloway, Joe
Aranki and £ngus Hendrick were
the “Atlases” who carried the world
on their shoulders throughout the
evening.
Few people stop to realize that
lighting is, in itself, an “actor”! yet
no one could doubt this after last
night’s performance. All the unsung
heroes of the production staff des-
erve special commendation for the
work done in the technical prep-
aration for this play. The vivid colors
and projection masterpieces, the
subtle staging and sets, the highly
stylized1 makeup — all reflect the
supreme achievements and fruits of
human imagination once it has been
set toward doing a job well and
right.
CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY,
is a play of universal appeal, a play
of the dynamics of faith and the
rights of man. All concerned with
the production of the play should be
proud. Thanks to them no one who
has seen the play or will see it this
evening could help stopping for a
moment to reflect seriously, for
a change, upon the implications in-
volved in tire relationship of one man
with another.

other supporters of Senator Goldwa-
ter are saying.
President Johnson must still wor-
ry about the Northern vote if he is
to be elected. This would seem to in-
dicate that he would chose to run
with either Robert Kennedy or pos-
sibly Robert Wagner, mayor of New
York. President Johnson will have
to clear himself personally of the
Bobby Baker problem before many
could support his presidential nom-
ination. Americans should be able
to look forward to another lively
presidential election this coming
year, and should realize that no
longer may the Vice - President be
a forgotten man.
