Miserly Justice
Harpagon, played by Neil Argo, Denton sophomore, left, accuses Master

containing 10,000 francs in "The Miser " Meanwhile, Kenton Couch, Ama-

By JAMES FREDD

An opening night audience that half-
filled the University Theatre was almost
as stingy with its laughter as the title char-
acter in Moliere’s play “The Miser” was
with his money.
Although the comedy was written in five
acts but performed in three, the audience
hoarded its applause for the second act and
the final curtain
As the play opens Valere (David Evans)
and Elise (Jo Ann Reeves) are trying to find
some way to get approval from her father,
the miserly Harpagon (Neil Argo), to get
married. Shortly thereafter Elise's brother
Cleante (Steve James) tells her that he is
in love with Mariane (Alice Gleason) and
plans to marry her. Harpagon wrecks these
plans when he announces to his children
that he plans to marry Mariane himself,
and has arranged a marriage for Flise with
Lord Anselme (Larry Billingsley), to take
place that very night. The rest of the play
deals with reuniting the lovers: Valere and
Elise, Cleante and Mariane, Harpagon and
his money.
In the title role, Neil Argo effectively
creates a character on his last legs who is
too cheap to buy a crutch. Argo’s portrayal
of an old man is almost too real for the slap-
stick scenes. Slapping, kicking, and knock-
ing down an old man like that seems more
Computer Helps Instruct Students
In Business, Music Composition
Youth Orchestra To Give
Free Performance Tonight
By DEBBIE BRAI N
Daily Reporter
The Computing Cenlet is working with
projects in which the computer is used to
compose music, play games with business
students and cut designs and pictures into
metals.
Beethoven and Brahms are probably turn
ing in their graves, but music is actually
being composed by a computer at the cen
ter. The program being used is Music
Five which was developed by Bell Labora
tories and modified at Stanford University
Jerry Waldon of the Computing Center
staff said.
The human end of the program specifies
the instruments, length and general descrip-
tion of the music. This information is then
punched on to cards and fed into the com-
puter. The computer generates digital num-
bers, writes them on magnetic tape and a re-
cording is made of sounds made by the
computer.
The secret of success in the program lies
in the digital numbers, Waldon said. They
run from minus 2048 to plus 2048 and each
note is produced according to the magni-
tude of its corresponding number, he said.
The Music-Five program is being used at
the center in conjunction with Dr Merrill
Ellis of the music faculty and the Elec-
tronic Music Center.
The idea behind the School of Business
Administration’s use of the computer could
be likened to field maneuvers in the Army.
Through the use of the computer, problems
of business management, financial affairs
and maximum profit are converted into
games which the student must play out as

if he were working in a real-life business
environment.
The computer is programmed to take in
to consideration real world situations, such
as a drop in the stock market, Waldon said
These situations affect the player’s deci
sions and the results of those decisions
The Management Game involves the
buying and selling of a product. “The player
must make decisions concerning stock,
salesmen, advertising and price,” Waldon
said. He feeds his decisions into the com-
puter and is informed of his success or
failure.
T he Financin’ Game works on the same
principle as the Management Game, ex-
cept that it deals with the buying and sell-
ing of stock instead of the management of
a business.
The Knap-Sack Problem is concerned
with finding the best way to produce maxi-
mum profit from the sale of varying pro-
ducts at varying cost.
The purpose of these projects is to give
the student “insight into what might hap-
pen in the business world,” Waldon said.
The Computing Center, along with the
industrial arts department, is considering
using the computer to be the brains be-
hind a machine that cuts designs and pat-
terns into metal, Waldon said.
As in the Music-Five program, the com-
puter is fed information and generates in-
structions onto cards. The instructions
are then transferred to paper tape. This
tape is fed into the machine, which trans-
lates the digits in the tape into various in-
structions, such as “cut” or “rotate.” The
whole process is known as the Numerical
Control Device, W aldon said.
cruel than comedic. But at the end of the
play when he is gloating over his money, it
is obvious Harpagon feels little pain when
his pocket book is not hurting.
David Evans as Valere and Steve James
as Cleante handle their roles with style. As
is appropriate in a comedy of manners,
both Evans and James use mannerisms
to give variety to their roles. Evans looks
like a 17th century toothpaste ad with his
ever-flashing smile and polished gestures.
James is convincing as a young fop who
almost deserves a father like Harpagon.
As Elise and Mariane, Jo Ann Reeves
and Alice Gleason are not given as much
to do as the other main characters, but they
handle their parts well.
The two roles with the broadest comedic
possibilities are those of Master Jacques
(Kyle McClaran), Harpagon’s cook and
coachman, and Frosine (Kay Heberle),
the matchmaker who is hired to arrange the
marriage between Harpagon and Marianne.
Both McClaran and Heberle make the most
of their roles, which does much to enliven
the evening.
There is no letdown in the minor roles.
F^ach is handled competently and reflects
the hard work put into the play by all in-
volved. The costumes for the play are ex-
cellent, and much credit should go to Jo
Cornelison, costume designer, for the job
she has done.
Although it is quite serviceable, the set
by William Snare does little to suggest a
scene in 17th century France. The two
pagodalike entrances stage-left and stage-
right give the set an Oriental influence, and
the orange and brown color scheme gives a
Holloween air.
The choreography by Sharon Argo is a
definite asset to the production, both where
it is obvious, such as the dance of the ser-
vants at the start of Act II, and when it is
subtle, such as in the movements and ges-
tures of the characters
