Students attending the summer session will have an opportunity to work and act in the following plays in a summer theatre atmosphere, said Gordon Beck, instructor in speech and assistant director of the theatre :
"The Cavedwellers," by William Sorovan and directed by Mr. Beck, will be June 19-20.
July 2-3 Thorton Wilder's "Skin of Our Teeth," will be presented under the direction of Jack Brooking, assistant professor of speech and managing director of the summer camp.

"Students can earn up to eight hours during the summer session, and there should be a sufficient number of acting roles to satisfy all those interested in attending." Beck
I. D. cards will admit students to all four plays, Beck said, and season coupons for the program will be on sale at the box office this week.
For the first year, water skiing is allowed on Lone Star Lake, twice a week.
Around The World
Eisenhower's Defense Plan Endorsed By Air Force
The Air Force endorsed President Eisenhower's defense reorganization plan today as a "vital" step toward strengthening the nation's military machine.
In previous testimony, the Army endorsed the controversial plan with some reservations and the Navy expressed "misgivings" about some features.
The Air Force thought the plan would create a "peacetime defense organization which would meet war time needs and would provide a better all-around defense at comparable cost to the present one.
The Defense Department today asked Congress to approve $1,683,- 361,000 in military construction, with a large part of it going to projects in the United States.
The Senate Armed Services sub-committee will open hearings on the measure about May 15.
The measure includes money to build family housing units for military personnel and dependents in the United States and overseas.
In United Nations, N. Y., Russia told the UN today that there was "no ground for any change" in the Soviet Union's opposition to an American proposal for an Arctic open skies inspection plan.
The Russian spokesman said a compromise Swedish amendment to the U. N. resolution accepted by the United States and proposing the Arctic plan "does nothing to alter our negative attitude."
He said that the two days' debate "only confirmed the need for the security council to put an end to the dangerous playing with fire
that American military men are carrying out."
In Seoul, Korea, opposition democrats seized a big lead over President Syngman Rhee's ruling liberal party today in first returns from Korea's National Assembly elections Thursday.
Most political observers expect Rhee's liberal party to win when the final results come in. His main strength lies in the rural areas where the count will not be complete for three or four days.
Archers' Law Convicts Bettors
OXFORD, England—(UP)—Court officials yesterday dusted off a law, passed in 1541 to stop King Henry VIII's archers from gambling in taverns, to convict 26 persons of illegal betting.
