the confidence to audition at Mur-
dial.

The committee, which attempts to operate by consent, must have the theatre productions must be Hashinger residents and that Hashinger is a cooperator.
mission charge to all nonresidents attending production
Baldwin said that; so far all directors would also be Hashinger residents. She said that not all productions would be open to the general public and that some would be only for Hashinger residents and others only for Daiyu Hill residents.
The resident theatre is housed in what was the main lounge of Hashinger Hall.
She said that the resident was invited to an experimental theatre and that a theatre with a permanent stage would be less restrictive of experimental play.
Instead of permanent facilities, the resident theatre will use 16 platforms which can be arranged to define acting and audience areas. The platforms were designed by Don Lawn, professor of drama, and Ron Rarick, Nashville, Ind. sophomore.
"It is wide open," she said.
"You can do anything you want to."
The premiere production of the resident theatre will be "Comings and Goings" by Megan Terry, a contemporary writer in improvisation. Baldwin, who is director of the production, said that it is "variations on a theme of women and women exploit each other."
Last year, Baldwin, as chairman of the drama committee at the United Minsteries in Los Angeles and "The Trial of the Cantonsville Nine." She said that this year she would play a direct each semester and that all other productions would be student directed.
Three other productions have been planned for this year. They will be tentatively scheduled for early December and "Stop" planned for the spring semester. Baldwin said she hoped there would be
"Comings and Goings" will be presented at 8 p.m. Nov. 3, 4 and 5 in Haskingham Hall. There will be a 50 cent charge for non-residents.

"We're not the most commercial group you'll hear on college radio, but we succeed in Europe is through playing live. It doesn't come through record sales. We haven't played here (United States)."
"Playing live is the main thing," Whitney said, "playing to the people. (It) music makes a lot more sense when you see us."
★★★★★★★★★★★
Chapman said Family's music was not heavily influenced by any particular artist or style.
"They can see you actually doing something on stage," Chapman said. "You can do everything you're doing something live."
"You pick things up all the while," Chapman said. "We buy albums like everybody else and

"We're really fortunate," Chapman said. "There are not many people who can do what they enjoy."
Chapman and Whitney said they enjoyed being on the road although the string of motels did become tiresome. Chapman said he used to watch television, particularly the three stogies and the Munsters. Whitney said he was going to watch motels on the four-star scale.
Chapman and Whitney agreed that to continue be able to play live was the band's main goal, not music. The band also received a award of a gold record.
"If you get really popular," Whitney said, "they don't listen to you anyway. The audience has a good time screaming and clapping—that's great for the audience, but not good for the speaker."
Family is currently on a ten week tour. After that they will take five days off and then begin a series of concerts in England.
"To keep creating is the thing," Chapman said. "A lot of guys that have done something dry up. That's the worst thing."
