Madrid company to perform Sunday
Spanish performers
Members of the Spanish troupe Esta Noche Teatro are shown above in a scene from "Los Intereses Creadoes," by Jacinto Benavente. The group will present scenes from this play and five others by Spanish playwrights at 8:20 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre.
Esta Noche Teatro, a Madrid drama company of seven performers, will play at 8:20 p.m. Sunday night in the University Theatre.
The Spanish-speaking actors will present classic scenes from six different Spanish playwrights: Lope de Vega, Fernando de Rojas, Dirso de Molina, Jacinto Benavente, Ramon de Valle Inclan and Federico García Lorca. Music also will play a part in the performance and commentary that traces the history of Spanish drama.
Deflor Peralta, a young director with 25 major productions to his credit in Europe and South America, will direct and perform in the two-hour show. The performers are on an eight-week coast-to-coast tour of the United States.
Tickets are available at the University Theatre box office.
Being white hinders student
Being a white college student proved to be a handicap for Iras Humphreys, Ashland sophomore, this summer.
Miss Humphreys worked in an inner-city ghetto in Trenton, N.J., under a program of the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church.
"The community where I worked was 98 per cent black. It is considered a ghetto because of the academic and economic restrictions of the people," she said.
"It was only natural to be resented. I was a white college student and had freedom. For the first time I found myself answering for being white," Miss Humphreys said.
The 10 student workers, five white and five black, lived in a renovated house right in the community with the people. Miss Humphreys felt it put them about five steps closer to being more readily accepted.
"It was much better than if we
had lived in the suburbs and commuted each day because we actually were sharing the community's living situation," she said.
The program was divided into three basic sections: the day camp, the visitation program and the community newspaper. Each section was designed to show the community that the workers were not there to change things, Miss Humphreys said.
"Our Community had about 600 families, so we had approximately 120 to 200 children daily for day camp. We divided the kids by age groups and I had 9-year-old boys. Our purpose was to establish some kind of relationship with them and to boost their self-esteem, to make them feel important," Miss Humphreys explained.
"The idea behind the day camp was to show the kids some activities they could do after we left. We didn't want to make them dependent on us," Miss Humphreys said.
When the workers first arrived in the New Jersey community, there was about an equal amount of resentment and enthusiasm towards their presence, she said. By the end of the summer, she felt that there was less resentment towards them in the community.
FLASH GORDON SERIAL
Although she would gladly work again in the black ghetto, she is also interested in working in a white community. Miss Humphreys feels she should work wherever her talents could be most useful, though.

A beauty parlor you can take back to school.
In many ways the Norelco Beauty Sachet is just like a beauty parlor.
It manicures, pedicures, messages, applies facial creams, buffs and files nails, and stimulates your scalp and muscles.
But in another way, it's more than a beauty parlor.
It also shaves your legs and underarms. And it shaves underarms as close or closer than a blade in 2 out of 3 shaves as tested in an independent laboratory. (As does the
Lady Norelco 15L on the right.)
It also has a 110/220 voltage selector for easy travel use.
The Lady Norelco is a shaver that has two shaving edges. One for legs, and one for underarms.
And it's not at all expensive.
Even if it shaves like it is.
