Chances of nuclearmistake exaggerated“It’s hard to tolerate am¬biguity and uncertainty, butthis is precisely our fate,"said Albert Wohlstetter,speaking on “War by Mistake” Fri¬day.Wholstetter, a consultant to theSecretary of Defense and to the De¬partment of State, and formulatorof the “Failsafe” plan to reducethe chances of retaliation on a falsealarm, is a Harper visiting scholarhere. Wohlstetter stated that the the¬ory of the inevitability of an acci¬dental nuclear war is very dangerous,since it seems to limit our choicebetween the risks of peace and thesure disaster of war.There is not a ‘all or None’ solu¬tion; we can reduce, but not elimi¬nate, the chances of accidental war:“The all or none solution is likelyto be none.’*Current fiction, with its apocalypticvision of nuclear disaster, though“less interesting than the problemitself,” does give expression to the“careless” approach to the inevita¬bility of war. They express two kindsof fear, the fear of irrationality, theinsanity of “some individual kook,”and the fear of rationality, of scienceand reason gone wild,” the machine.The feeling of rage at the individual’salienation and impotence leads to thedesire for total redemption from theslavery of fear,The strategy of dealing with tfiepossibility of nuclear war depends onthe choice of risks, he said. Whichones are least dangerous, and howthey are to be distributed, and inthe balance in a warning and re¬sponse system between false reassur¬ance (not respondng to a real attack)and retaliating for a false alarm.Human and mechanical error arefhe risks. Devices to reduce the ef¬fect of “component errors” in amachine are very complicated oodes.To reduce the risks of human mis¬takes, there may be many succes¬sive acts and the assignment ofseveral people to cooperate on oneJob, Wohlstetter continued.“Warning is always ambiguous,and this is understood by anyonewlvo has responsibility,” Wohlstettersaid. The radar “blip” does not in¬dicate the shape or national originof the object it registers; this mustbe determined by observers. The“failsafe” plan is designed to accom¬ modate the ambiguity of the worry¬ing and the balance between falsealarm and false reassurance.Limiting the disasterYesterday afternoon, Wohlstetterspoke on “Limiting the Disaster andits Likelihood.” He began by announc¬ing that people today are living undera “well-established myth.”Wohlstetter explained that peoplebelieve that the U.S. and the SovietUnion were at a stand-off in the early195Q’s. Most people assume that thesuperior nuclear strength of the U.S.and the threat of a Soviet invasionof Europe are the main deterrents ofnuclear war. “This is a myth,” hesaid.Wohlstetter described the situationof our nuclear force in the early1950’s. Our nuclear bombers tookmany hours to prepare for take-off,and tiie nuclear bombs were not evenon the air-bases. Hie bombers(B-47’s) were short-range. Our over¬seas bases needed one to two weeksto prepare. “Even if our bomberscould have made it to the SovietUnion,” Wohlstetter explained, “thechances of any of them penetratinginto tl»e interior of the Soviet Unionwere slight.”In 1957, the most popular theory ofnuclear deterrence was the theoryof minimum deterrence. Wohlstettercriticized this theory; he called it“genuinely incoherent.”Wohlstetter offered his own theoryon deterrence. He stated that wemust consider both deliberate attackand accidental attack. Hie main aimof deterrence, then, is to achievemaximum stability. Stability is feasi¬ble, he said, but it has to be con¬structed; it does not just happen.Stability depends on risks: of strikingand of not striking. It is subject totechnological and political upsets.“Stability is measured by the shocksit can sustain.”Elections for next yeor's |MAROON editor will bejheld Fridoy at 4 pm in the §MAROON office. 3rd floor |Ido Noyes Hall.

GreenwaldThe only evidence of Lee Harvey Oswald’s guilt in the assassination of the latePresident Kennedy is the prejudiced opinion of the FBI and Dallas Police, said attorneyMark Lane Sunday night.Lane explained that the FBI andDallas District Attorney Henry Wadehave altered their case againstOswald whenever new information isdiscovered contradicting Oswald’sguilt. “When Oswald was murderedthere was no case against him, andthere is no case against him now,”Lane remarked.Lane is chairman of the Committeeof Public Inquiry. The Committee,with headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenuein New York City, is carrying out anindependent investigation of the as¬sassination.Lane commented that the AmericanPress has reported only informationindicating Oswald’s guilt, and that agood deal of this information iserroneous.Lane displayed the cover of theFeb. 13 issue of Life, showing Oswaldwith the rifle he supposedly usedto kill the president. “Such a riflehas not been manufactured in thelast two hundred years,” Lane ex¬plained.Later publications have altered thisphotograph to make the weapon lookmore modern, Lane continued. Heshowed the hundred-odd people in theaudience later reproductions of thesame photograph in Newsweek andthe New York Times. The photo¬graphs showed Oswald in the samepose, but this time holding a rifleof much later manufacture, althoughstill not the Italian Carbine he sup¬posedly used to shoot Kennedy.Lane added that an AssociatedPress reporter, Dick Goodwin, re¬ported that Oswald’s Marine Corpsrecord indicated he had been both acrack shot and quick tempered. Thisstory was published m every news¬ paper in the nation, Lane noted, buta subsequent story by the same re¬porter indicating gross errors in thefirst report was never published. Thesecond story indicated Oswald hadactually been a poor marksman.Lane went on to explain numerouscontradictions in reports by the Dallaspolice. Prosecutor Henry Wade orig¬inally said a German Mauser hadbeen found in the Texas School BookDepository, but as soon as the FBIreported Oswald had ordered theItalian rifle from a Chicago mail¬order house, Wade changed the modeland caliber of the weapon to thaitreported by the FBI.Lane asked why Oswald shouldhave ordered the rifle under an alias,A. Hadell, and then have it deliveredto a post-office box under his ownname, as reported by the FBI. “Allkinds of weapons are readily avail¬able in lawless Dallas,” said Lane.He asked why Oswald should havebought the Italian rifle, an inefficientweapon for which ammunition is nolonger manufactured in this country.Lane commented that lhi homiciderate in Dallas, the nation’s highest,is indicative of the quality of the jobWade has been doing for the last 14years. Shortly after the arrest ofOswald, Lane said, Police ChiefCurry told newsmen: “Good news;the paraffin tests of Oswald’s handsand face prove he is the assassin.”Lane pointed out that a positiveparaffin test can result from suchcriminal offenses as cigarette smok¬ing and use of toothpaste and soap.“Since the tests were negative onOswald’s face, lane continued, “theonly thing they could have proven was that he did not fire a rifle atthe moment of the assassination.”“Legal representation has beendenied Oswald both before and afterhis murder,” Lane continued. Lanereported that lawyers from the Amer¬ican Civil Liberties Union were pre¬vented from seeing Oswald while hewas confined at the Dallas CountyJail. He commented that AmericanBar Association Chairman WalterCraig, lawyer appointed for Oswaldby the Warren Commission, was notinterested in Oswald’s case. Lanequoted Craig as having said “I willbe (present at the Warren Commis¬sion hearings), but I will not defendOswald’s interests. I will sit in tosee the procedings are fair.” Laneadded that Craig has been absentmost of the time. Lane has beenretained by Marguerite Oswald torepresent her son's interests beforethe Commission.Lane said that Police Chief Curryseemed to know more about the casethan information legitimately avail¬able to him warranted. Curry, Laneexplained, immediately after theshooting directed a policeman to livesixth floor of the Depository. Thepoliceman found the rifle hidden sowell where Wade directed him that“it would have hit him on the headif he had not found it right away.”Lane pointed out that Curry was ableto say exactly where the shots camefrom, although he was farther awaythan all other witnesses.In addition, minutes after tlveshooting, Dallas police radio carriedboth a full description of Oswald andthe statement that the shots had beenfired from the overpass.”LWhite on white-. Governor Wallace in Indianaby Paul CowanGraduate Student in Comm, omSocial ThoughtGary, Indiana, (primarynight)—The entrance to Garyas you turn off toll road issuburban and still, nothinglike what the mill city’s nation-widereputation has led you to expect.Even on primary night most peopleseemed to be in bed by 10:30. Thehistory that we had driven from Chi¬cago to find was just part of anotiierwee knight for them. Tomorrow morn¬ing was time enough to learn whathad huijpened to the strange littleGovernor from Alabama wlvo soughttheir vote for the highest office in theland.live commercial part of Gary wasalso still, save for the trucks thatroared incessantly down the mainartery. The streets were almost en¬tirely empty. Only a few mem, seper-ate from one another, waiting in frontof a clothing store to catch a bus,reassured a visitor that Gary hadn'tbeen totally evacuted.But despite all this silence it wasStill election night. On such occasionsthere has to be some activity, if onlyOtic- knows where to find it; at theradio station, in bars or restaurants,at city hall. But the local radio sta¬tion, situated in the basement of thetown’s leading hotel, hardly resem¬bled tliose “election centrals” thatthe national networks are so proud of.In fact, behind the curtained glassdoors which seperated mass commu¬nications from mass accommodationsthe atmosphere was astonishingly re¬laxed: just the regular staff wasPresent to hear the returns, and notdoe commentator or technician looked9s if the news lie had to lvandle wasnvvre interesting than the usual run& plane crashes, oar accidents, orburglaries.To an outsider it seemed surpris¬ing, at least, that Governor Wallace slvould be leading in a county thatRoosevelt Democrats have alwaysconsidered their own. But the menwlvo were obliged to convey this in¬formation to an (apparently sleeping)public seemed almost entirely un¬affected.“You see,” one of them explained,“the returns from the Negro pre¬cincts are always counted last. Youcan be sure that Governor Wallacewill carry this county.” (But if vir¬tually every white man in Gary votedfor «ne candidate and every Negrofor another, then the conflict musthave implications broader than anelection victory or defeat.) A mo¬ment later a voice called out “Welshhas gone ahead.” “That should beit,” the announcer informed his visi¬tor as if the thousands of people whovoted for Wallace had now been ren¬dered eternally irrelevant.Next door to the hotel there is aclean, nicely lighted restaurant calledthe Hoosier Grill. (According to Web¬ster’s Third International a hoosieris an “awkward, unhandy, or un¬skilled’’ person. Yet the state’s nick¬name marks many of its enterprises:how far the woid has travelled fromits roots.) Inside a waitress is willingto explain her decision not to vote.(She is just the sort of person onehopes to find in the Mid-West; pure-looking, friendly, fresh from OurTown: probably, some 15 years ago,a semi-finalist in a contest for futurehomemaker of the year. Now, motherof three children and Lord knowshow many customers: all of whomshe calls “honey.”)“They’re all dishonest,” she saysof Indiana’s politicians. “It used tobe you could tell who was crookedand who wasn’t just by looking atthem. Today they all want to cheatyou; there’s not a decent one left.Before, you could walk down tliestreet and say hello to people, befriendly.” (“Before what?” “Oh, youknow, before—about 10 or 15 years ago.”) “Now everyone wants to hurteveryone else. I don’t know what’shappening with all this fighting allthe time. But I don’t understand whyit should be, with our lives gettingso much more convenient.”All of this, she said, “makes meso angry . , “So angry that what?”“Oh, I don’t know.” Gently sheslashed at a piece of air with herhand, and then went off to clean oneof the tables. How, one wondered,with all this honest nostalgia for de¬cency, could she fail to vote againsta man who has imposed the mostbestial kinds of restraints on thepeople of his own state. Somewherewe have failed her, the professionalswho run politics and the writers andintellectuals who interpret it.Quote of the Day"it's tough enough being black with¬out being black and Red at the sametime."—James Farmer, director of CORE,commenting on FBI director J.Edgar Hoover's suggestion thatCommunists are "making inroadsin the civil rights movement."It was still well before midnight,but only about 40 people were pres¬ent in the large, bedraggled auditor¬ium of Gary’s City Hall to examinetlie election returns. Even they, theDemocratic party’s enthusiasts,seemed bored. They sat quietly insmall clusters and just once, whenthe success of the candidate for coun¬ty coroner (a Negro) was announced,did they respond as a group—with ahalf-hearted cheer that lasted lessthan a second. The returns werescratched in thin chalk over four orfive blackboards set about 25 feet infront of the chairs where most peoplesat. Only a few men moved closeenough to the front of the room tofind out, moment by moment, whatwas happening. By midnight most ofthe small group was making readyto leave. Presently, though, the apathy whichevidently stretched from the Garysuburbs to tlie Democratic Partyfaithful, temporarily receded hornthe visitors’ consciousness. A genuineWallace supporter had begun a face-to-face conversation. To one who hasbeen sheltered in various academicor radical communities for the pastmonths, contact with a man whoactually voted for Wallace is a rare,intriging tiling.What kind of queer bird is this, tobe morally so opaque? So now, dur¬ing this conversation in the Gary CityHall, one regarded this fellow Amer¬ican—one of 500,000 in two Midwest¬ern states — With particular care.Physically he was inoffensive enough.His owl-shaped glasses, far too bigfor his eyes, dominated a ratherbeefy, triangular face, expressiveenough and ready to smile. Clearlyhis clothes, a deep red shirt, a tweedjacket, khaki pants, ha<f neither beenchosen nor put together with any par¬ticular care. When he talked, thoughhis voice remained calm, his wordstook on a rather pinched and nasalquality.He seemed friendly, even to peoplewhose ideas differed appreciably fromhis own, and his conversation—whichdealt primarily with the civil rightsbill and the city in which he lived—was, within limits, fair-minded andwell-informed. “Have you read thecivil rights bill carefully?” he asked.“I hadn’t until I heard Wallace talk,but that man knows what it's allabout. He says that even the news¬papers don’t tell the truth, and he’sright. I’ve been studying the bill athome. Last week I saw one reporterwho was writing about the housinglaws and he quoted them all wrong.”It was the housing laws that dis¬turbed him most deeply. “They wantto tell everyone who he can rent to.You know what that is? That’s social¬ism. If a man invests all his moneyin a pieoe of property he ought to be able to decide what to do with it.”“But there are already a lot ofstates that have open occupancylaws,” someone said. “Do you thinkthey're wrong?”“We're talking about the Federalgovernment, not state governments.Don't you know the difference? Whenthe Government in Washington de¬cides something like that for thestates then we have socialism.”He was not against the entire civilrights bill: the public accommoda¬tions section, for example, seemedto him entirely legitimate as didparts of tlie FEPC. But all of hisviews related solely to cities likeGary, and incorporated no historysave that which had led him, person¬ally, to the present moment. Asked,for example, how he could reconcilea vote for Wallace with the policestate that unquestionably exists inAlabama, he appeared to be satisfiedwith the notion that “what happensdown there is the business of thosepeople.”Nor did he appear to have anysense that a Negro, migrating afterfive impoverished generations in theSouth to a cramped and hopelessNorthern ghetto might be a victim ofa particularly ugly historical situa¬tion. “Look at your Irish, your Ger¬mans, your Italians—they all had itrough when they came to America,and they worked their way up.”Driving back to Chicago we learnedthat Gary had given Wallace a clearplurality. The news no longer seemedsurprising, and that made it all themore tenable. Those workers in thesteel mills along the Indiana tollroad: Tired, worried, their ambitionsunfulfilled—they had decide^ to keephistory comprehensible and their ownfutures secure, and then went hometo their comfortable beds. If integra¬tion meant sacrifice, and sacrificewere dictated by a Federal autiiority,then K was immoral, socialist,against the American grain.GNOSIS slatesJust time to get that second wind.

Now, at last, my suspicionshave been fully confirmed by an in¬cident which took place a few daysago.Last Thursday afternoon TomSmucker was wiilking by the Psi UFraternity House and saw three boyshe knew from Pierce Tower crawl¬ing on all fours like dogs and chasingpassers-by. He gathered that thiswas tlie initiation for pledges andviewed it in the usual tragi-comicfashion of an outsider.That night (about 1 am) Smuckerand I were walking past Psi U ontlie way to the point to play ourbanjos, when the impulse seizedSmucker and he yelled, “Hey, let’ssee your dogs!” He didn’t know any¬one was listening, but soon was an¬swered by three or four I'rat menasking him to repeat his request. Hedid, and they began to run at usFrom the fraternity.Because of our deep commitmentto non-violence, we soon were run¬ ning too, ^ut knowing that flight wasfutile because of our banjos, wequickly made our stand in the en¬trance to Mandel Hall. Our standconsisted of indeed standing therewhile the frat men (three of them,all stripped to the waist) started torough-up Smucker by bouncing himbetween them. Then one of themcame over to me and expertlyspit in my face, at which time Ilearned that he was at least a littledrunk. Then he grabbed me up bymy collar and after making num¬erous threats was finally appeasedby exacting the punishment of mak¬ing me admit that I was a “queer.”Smucker, too, got off easy, havingonly to confess that he was a “dumbshit.”When the frat men were aboutto leave, however, one thought thathe detected a laugh from Smuckerand interpreted it as a slur againsthis deal* fraternity. He swung atSmucker, but fortunately only hithis harmonica which was in a wireframe around his neck. The harmoni¬ca fell to the ground, and after thefrat men kicked it into the gutterthey went home.For me, the high point of the eve¬ning had come earlier when, whileholding me by the collar, one ofBayard Rustin talks Thurs.Bayard Rustin, chief organizer of last August’s Marchon Washington, will lecture on non-violent protest Thursdayin the second of a special series dealing with modes of re¬shaping culture held by the Social Sciences II staff.The talk will be given Thursday at11:30 am in Mandel Hall.Rustin will be available to answerindividual students’ questions at aninformal discussion period after thelecture. Time and place of the dis¬cussion will be announced at theleciure.Rustin is one of the leading Negroesin America who has figured mostprominently in the current civilrights struggle. An Oxford graduate,Rustin is currently engaged in or¬ganizing a civil rights protest marchin New York City, slated for May 18.Abner Mikva, State Representativefrom the local 23rd District, gave thefirs: of the talks in the present SocII series last Thursday, speaking onreform politics.

The difference is that bona fideanimal trainers never presumed thatby teaching a wild jaguar to behavein salon society they were contribut¬ing to the understanding of humanbehavior.In those innocent times, peopleacknowledged their kinship with otherforms of animal life, but naively be¬ lieved that "human’* behavior, bydefinition, was that part of humannature which could not be explainedin terms of other forms of life.But in our enlightened days theviewpoint has changed.

Cowelti andJohn Cooper, chairman of HumanitiesII will discuss the two Humanities se¬quences with other staff members onWednesday night at 7:30 P.m. in IdaNoyes. All students interested in thesecourses are urged to attend and offer♦heir opinions and suggestions about thecourses. This discussion Is being spon¬sored by The Student governmentCurriculum Committee.Humanities 111-112-113 is thefirst course in the College Human¬ities sequence. In addition, it pro¬vides the only formal instructionin music and the visual arts for alarge percentage of students,whose programs unfortunately do notallow further exploration in these;u-eas. Thus the course must be atonce introductory and terminal, andthe staff has had to ask itself whataspects of such an infinitely variousdiscipline as the humanities areessential to a student who may bel»th beginning and ending his formalhumanistic training during the course.The answer wliich gives humani¬ties 111-112-113 its special charac¬ter is that the course should involvethe student in those problems and ma-lerials which will make it possibletor him to have the fullest, mostmeaningful experience of works ofart. How best to do this is not a mat¬ter on which all humanists agree.Some would say, for example, thattlie best way to develop a student'sunderstanding and appreciation of thearts is to stuff him full of historicalfacts and generalizations about tliehumanities so that he will be ableto understand a work new to himby applying the appropriate gen¬eralizations and putting it in the rightpigeonhole. Since the easiest andclearest way to organize such datais historical, tlie appreciation coursesat many American universities con¬sist of broad, historical surveys oftiio humanities, from the Greeks towliat is blandly called “Contempo¬rary Civilization” of the “Tlie Mod¬ern Period.”Any student who has struggledthrough-the first quarter of humani¬ties 111-112-113 is well aware thatthe course’s structure is not basedon any principle so simple and clearas historical chronology. In music,for example, the first quarter beginswith works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky,and Bartok, and ends with worksby Bach, so that if there is anychronology it is in reverse. Actually,of course, no pari of the course isorganized chronologically. Even inthe third quarter, when there is con¬siderable discussion of artistic de¬velopment in the late nineteenth andearly twentieth centuries, we arenot primarily concerned with inform¬ing our students of historical eventsand trends in the arts. History inhumanities 111-112-113 is relevantonly insofar as it can help us to un¬derstand and experience particularworks.The historical survey as an intro¬duction to the arts has many virtues.Only the most inane devotee of pureintuition would deny that a well-rounded knowledge of man’s past achievements is not only the markof an educated man but an indis¬pensable aid to the fullest apprecia¬tion of works of art. In fact, one im¬portant purpose of humanities 111-112-113 is to provide its students with asmuch meaningful experience withworks of art from different historicalperiods as we can within the limitedtime at our disposal. However, wefeel strongly that the experiencemust be meaningful, and that the hu¬manities should not exist for our stu¬dents as a set of disembodied gen¬eralizations about the classicism ofthe Greeks, the Gothicism of theGoths, and the modernity of the mod¬erns. GHOSTS. BY HENRIK IBSENDIRECTED BY JOE EHRENBERGMrs. Alvlng Renee CappelllnlOsvald Alvlng Edward FoyPastor Manders Joe EhrenbergRegIne Joyce TetrevEngstrand Michael SlaterInstead of historical chronology,humanities 111-112-113 is organizedaround a series of increasingly morecomplex and sophisticated exper¬iences with music, art, and literature.Tliis sequence of experiences differssomewhat in each of the arts becauseof the different characteristics of thearts and because we have learnedthat our students have already1achieved a somewhat higher levelof skill in literature than in musicand art. In general, however, thecourse begins with a discussion ofrelatively simple works in which tliebasic elements can be easily identi¬fied and characterized and in wliichthe overall structure can be readilygrasped. Once the student has be¬gun to be conscious of the basicmaterials of artistic organizations, weturn to more difficult works and to acoasidcration of some of the differentkinds of organization within tlie arts— polyphonic as opposed to homoplionic masic, sculpture and archi¬tecture as opposed to painting in thevisual arts, dramatic as opposed tonarrative literature, etc. Up to thispoint, we have been considering thework of art in relative Isolation fromother works, from the aims of itscreator and from its historical back¬ground. In the last part of the course,we begin to place individual creationsin different analytical contexts inorder to see how a knowledge ofother works by the same creator orfrom the same period can be effec¬tively used to reveal new aspects ofparticular works.Humanities 111-112-113, then, canbest be understood as posing, in anorder of increasing difficulty, the kindof analytical problems which confrontany individual who seeks to under¬stand and appreciate works of art,music and literature. The Ibsen drama is undoubtedlyfamiliar enough to anyone acquaintedwith modem literary history to makeany .comment here on the play itselfquite pointless. Tlie standing that ithas as a modem classic — alongwith its small cast and single set —made it an excellent choice for theInternational Players, particularly inview of the rather staid audiencewhich often seems to attend Inter¬national House productions. An audi¬ence which comes to see a play whichhas the blessings of history, and espe¬cially one like Ghosts, which is moreoften lectured and written about thanperformed, affords an excellentchance for a competent group tomake them see what is really in theplay.Last weekend's cast did quite agood job in bringing out the full forceof the work. Mrs. Cappellini’s per¬formance, which brought out the tor¬mented grace of the Mother's per¬sonality, was by far the finest ofthe evening. She was in characterfrom her very first lines, and made every shift in mood and revelationseem more a credible insight into herpersonality than a mere turn of plot.If anything, her performance was toostriking for the original intentions ofthe play, since the tragedy of Mrs.Alving became the central one, ratherthan that of her son. This is some¬thing I really hadn’t considered inreading the play before, but thestrength of the part as played by Mrs.Cappellini makes it difficult for meto think of it otherwise now.As the syphilitic son, Mr. Foy wasalso good. His slightly rhapsodic de¬livery did a great deal to suggest thesickness and weak sensitivity of hischaracter. He was hampered, I think,by having to play alongside someoneas strong as Mrs. Cappellini, and al¬so by a costume which may verywell have been typical of the artistsof the period depicted, but whichwas outlandish enough to lend hima vaguely silly foppishness at first.That he managed to dispel this feel¬ing, which could have hurt the play,is something that is quite to his cred¬it.Mr. Ehrenberg played Pastor Man¬ders with an obvious delight in hischaracter’s hypocrisy and sanctimo¬nious foolishness. He did it almostbroadly, and managed to get awaywith it. He was particularly effective as foil to Mrs. Alving. I can’t helpthinking how tragic the fall of theScandinavian clergy must have beenwhen I compare the guilt-and-neu-rosis-ridden specimens in some recentfilms with the unperturbed old theo-erat who came into Mrs. Alving’sparlor the other night.As the maid, Miss Tetrev wasproperly silly and bitchy. I’m notsure that it ever was Ibsen’s inten¬tion, but when she finally left thestage I felt a certain regret at nothaving had a chance to take a swatat her.Mr. Slater's characterization as tliecarpenter, Engstrand, struck me asbeing the only one in the play whichdidn’t really come off. He seemedto take longer than anyone else toestablish his character, and seemedto miss the whole sly peasant qualitythat his role could have had.All in all, the production was wellworth seeing — and by more peoplethan I suspect did see it. Somethingof the self-sufficient nature of Inter¬national House seems to isolate itfrom what seems to be the mainstream of cultural activity in thisneighbor hood. If productions such asGhosts are the rule there, though,this is clearly an unfortunate situa¬tion.Nicholas D'AlessioCalendar of events l-M SPORTSTuesday, May 12Motion Picture: Casablanca (Doc.Film Group: The Bogey Flics); Soc.Sei. 122, 7:15 and 9:15 pm.Symposium: “An Evening of Art,’’(Fota); Alpha Delta Phi, 5747 Universi¬ty, 7:30 pm.Concert: Pieces by Handel.
