Controversial Play 'Judith' Opens Here
"JUDITH." the highly controversial play by Jean Giradoux, will open in the Experimental Theatre of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building for an extended run beginning Feb. 24 through March 1. There will be two 4 p.m. matinees on Wednesday and Friday, Feb. 26 and 28.
According to Miss Quaid, the Apocryphal story has been twisted by Giradoux in such a way that it is used as a vehicle to express his philosophy.
Directed by Jane Quaid, Norman, Okla. graduate student, the play is based on the Apocryphal story of Judith (Joyce Elliott, Independence, Mo. junior), niece of Joseph (Bob Potter, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore), who must save the city of Bethulia from the siege of Holofernes (Roger Brown, Topeka senior) and his army.
Although not as abstract as last year's "Waiting For Godot," Judith's is controversial as a result of its dealing with the universes of God.
Readings for replacements in the cast will be heard by Miss Quaid, at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Experimental Theatre. Actors for four roles will be chosen.
Theatre Workshop, a new phase of University Theatre, will be started this semester, according to Mr Gordon Beck, instructor of Speech and Drama and University Theatre assistant.
Replacing the former Actor's Workshop, which opened only acting roles to the general student body, Theatre Workshop seeks to place students in the major technical areas also.
Students interested in reading for acting roles in the future Workshop scenes, or applying for positions in the other theatre production areas should attend the meetings either Feb. 10 or Feb. 12 in 341 Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
Actor's Group Gets Revision
Extra credit in theatre activity is now available to the student body. Applications for Speech 45, an activity course worth one-half hour credit, are being taken by Mrs. Sherlie Johnson, speech and drama secretary, in 356 Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
Earn While You Learn
To earn credit, a student must participate in either one major or two minor acting roles, and must hold either one major or two minor technical crew positions.
If a student entered in Speech 45 fails to meet the semester requirements, his name will be taken from the list with no loss of credit.

Vanguard Fails After Short Flight
(Compiled from United Press)
The Navy's jinxed Vanguard rocket finally struggled into the sky early today off Cape Canaveral, Fla., but it faltered and broke in two after a 1-minute flight.
The new Navy failure sent several million dollars worth of cinders tumbling into the Atlantic Ocean. It left the freshly launched Army Explorer riding alone among the stars with the second Russian sputnik.
There was no indication when the Navy might try again to get a vest-pocket satellite into orbit aboard the Vanguard. Another rocket is ready, but the study of what happened to today's will undoubtedly delay it.
He said he still expects an economic upturn about the middle of the year, but added that a tax cut could be a weapon if the economic bounce-back does not take place as expected.
It was estimated that the rocket, believed to be carrying a simple form of life such as yeast in its 3.4 pound satellite, rose to between 10,000 and 20,000 feet, less than four miles, before it hung in the sky, broke into two fiery pieces and began falling back. It was then blown up from the ground one minute after launching.
In Washington. President Eisenhower said at a news conference that a tax cut might be an Administration reserve weapon if an uprunt in the economy fails to develop.
He threw cold water on the possibility of a summit meeting with Russia, saying this government has not received any evidence from

Also in Washington, Chairman Richard B. Russell (D-Ga) of the Senate Armed Services Committee said today Congress should consider reorganization of the Defense Department in one package—not by bicemeal legislaton.
The Lawmaker's stand came in the face of Republican reports that President Eisenhower plans to submit a series of messages to Congress on Defense reorganization starting in the middle of next month.
