Stage Crew Of'False Gods' Face Problems As They Prepare For Opening Night
Five idols, six pillars, a long ramp, five platforms, and four sets of steps—where will we put them all today so the Zoology club can use the stage for their program?
That may be one of the problems of the stage crew of "False Gods," the University Players' next three-act production. For more than three weeks before the play, the properties of the set are hammered, sawed, pasted, and painted.
The scenery must be constructed during the day and moved at night for play practice or other programs. On a stage that measures 27 feet by 10 feet and has no audience, three changes of scenery are difficult to store.
For "False Gods," Allen Crafton, professor of speech, designed a unit set which will use only six canvas-covered frameworks or "flats" for all three acts. Flats are used with a canvas "backdrop" to make the sides and back of a set.
William Hatch, fine arts senior,
and Harold Harvey, instructor of
speech, are constructing the set.
Assistants are Beverly Dodds, College junior, and Virginia Doan, engineering junior. Milton Commons, graduate student, is in charge of lighting.
"False Gods" will be presented at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6. through Friday, Dec. 9.

Workshop Has Eight Writers
Talent and originality are student requisites of the Writers' workshop, directed by Mrs. Dorothy Van Ghent, assistant professor of English. The course emphasizes creative writing.
"The workshop is offered for those students who have shown an assured talent in writing." Mrs. Van Ghent said.
The course is conducted in seminar fashion. Meetings are held every Thursday at her home, where student manuscripts are read and criticized. Mimeographed copies are distributed to each student and fiction are considered, but emphasis is placed on short story writing.
Membership in the workshop is limited to seniors and graduate students showing special ability in at least one of the creative writing forms: fiction, verse, or the literary essay. Eight students are enrolled in the course this semester.
For the last three years, New Writers, a magazine containing some of the best creative work of creative writing students, has been distributed to schools and publishers throughout the country. Many of these stories have been published in literary magazines.
Several former workshop writers are now producing novels, Mrs. Van Ghent said.
