University Theater in Double Trouble
BY JERRY KNUDSON
Trouble has been coming in assortments of two for members of the technical staff of the University Theater's production which opens tonight in Fraser theater, because in the double-bill comedy presentation two sets, two wardrobe layouts, and two lighting schemes are needed.
But the technical personnel have been giving concerted effort for almost a month to convert those tribulations into triumphs. These are the students who are only names on a program to the audience. Although they are never seen on the stage, a major production would be impossible without them.
Robert Green, assistant professor of drawing and painting, has designed the sets for both Christopher Fry's "A Phoenix Too Frequent" and George Bernard Shaw's "The Dark Lady of the Somets" which will be presented through Saturday.
Prof. Green has composed the tableaus for the annual Christmas vespers for the past several years, but this is the first major play stage designing he has done.
"A Phoenix Too Frequent" takes place in a Roman tomb which calls for two pilasters, part of a ruined wall, steps leading to the outside, a
stone bench, and a marble burial chamber.
The setting for "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets" is on the terrace of Queen Elizabeth's palace, and is highlighted with a bannister and a few steps, and the back of a huge statue of the queen.
"The costume design for the statue of Queen Elizabeth is basically authentic with one of the portraits of her." Prof. Green said. He added the initials ER (Elizabeth Rex) on the arm of her gown, however, and a monkey in the pattern of her dress "for a humorous touch."
Allen Long, architecture senior, who did the sets for "The Morning Star," helped with scenery painting, John White, graduate student, and Dan Palmquist, instructor of speech, did the lighting.
Dick McGhee, college junior, is in charge of the new University Theater workshop located in the basement of the old journalism building. Kirt Walling, college senior, is stage carpenter and head of the stage crew which includes Dee Ann Price, fine arts sophomore, and Jim Wallace, fine arts freshman.
Beverly Dodds, graduate student,
is stage manager and will handle
props and prompting. Don Jensen,
fine arts senior, made some paper-
mache ceramics used in "Phoenix." Shirley Strain, college senior, will head the ushers.
Dr. John Newfield, director of both plays, designed the historically accurate Roman and turn-of-the-17th-century English costumes. They were cut, sewn, and fitted by Darlene Heberling, education senior, and Mary Evan Holte, college senior.
Bonnie Royer, who plays Queen Elizabeth in the Shaw play, doubles as charge d'affaires in the box office in the basement of Green hall where students may obtain free tickets by having their ID cards punched from 10 to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. daily.
Senate Probe Asked On Nevada Election
Washington — (U.P.) — Democrat Thomas B. Mechling asked the Senate elections subcommittee today to investigate the Nov. 4 Nevada senatorial contest in which he lost Republican Sen. George W. Malone.
Mr. Mechling told the committee that in some places fewer voters were cast for senator than in other federal contests; that more voters were registered than population figures indicated, and that in some precincts more votes were cast than the number of registered voters.
Paintings by eight Wichita artists are on display in the Museum of Art and will be there through December in two galleries to the right and left of the second floor landing.
Eight Artists Show Paintings
Pat Rowley, former instructor in the Kansas State college art department, two oils; Oscar Larmer, '49, artist for Boeing aircraft, two oils and two watecolors, and Enrique Riveron, a native of Cuba, two abstractions in oil.
William Dickerson, director of the Wichita Art Association school, three watercolors. Mr. Dickerson has exhibited in the Mid-America show in Kansas City and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Mrs. Betty Dickerson, '29, a watercolor and two pastels; Tom Dickerson, a student at the University of New Mexico, a watercolor; Robert Aitchison, vice president of the McCormack-Armstrong Press, two oils; Ted Hawkins, commercial artist and exhibitor, two oils.
The majority of the paintings are for sale, Prof. Raymond Eastwood, director of the museum, said. All are landscapes with the exception of the two abstractions and one portrait.

Senior Displays Water Colors
An exhibition of water colors by Frank M. Hamilton, architecture senior, sponsored by the department of architecture is on display in the architectural library, Marvin hall.
The public is invited to see the colorful work which will be on display until Dec. 19. 19. The studies, done this summer by Hamilton during summer travels, are chiefly scenes of the west coast of California and of the Caribbean area.
In October these water colors were exhibited in a one-man show sponsored by the Allied Arts club at Fullerton, Calif.
"His scenes of buildings, docks and boats, and city streets," said the club, "are authentically decorative. The discriminating visitor will find refreshing stimulation in an exhibition which carries a note of youth plus extraordinary skill."
