Players Present
Moliere's PlayIn Page Hall
Davey Views Reasons
For Bookstore Chaos
by Sara Kittsley
Moliere's Tartuffe will be p r e sented October 7, at 8:30 p.m. in
Page Hall by the Galaxy Players.
The title role of Tartuffe, who
disrupts a family with his intrigues,
will be played by Ed Dahlstedt. He
is well known at the Schenectady
Civic Playhouse, where he has acted
in 28 shows.
The uproar among the students
over the new University Bookstore
resulted from the fact that there
was no booklist available to aid
students in buying books, and that
students were forced to stand In
line for hours before being admitted
to the bookstore.
Most students realized that Inconveniences were bound to arise witti
the mass transfer to the New Campus; however they felt that in some
matters they had legitimate gripes.
University students Barry Godfrey, Class 00, and Richard Porter
Class '08, both felt, as did many
other students, that the Bookstore
should have been run on a non-stop
basis.
Tartuffe Invades
Monsieur Orgon, a rich merchant,
whose household Tartuffe Invades,
is played by Alan Jakeman. Director o f Dramatics at Niskayuna High
School, Mr. Jakeman has just completed the summer as a student at
the Institute of Elizabethan Art and
Literature in Vermont.
Louise Woodruff Heinmlller Is
cast as Elmira, Oregon's second
wife, and stepmother to his two
children. Dorine, companion to Orgon's daughter, but who has her
own way of running this household,
will be played by Jinx Lindenhauer.
Miss Heinmlller and Miss Lindenhauer are both permanent members
of the Galaxy company.
Charles Losacco plays Cleante,
brother of Elmira, a Doctor of
clence and Law and a " P r o g r e s sive" of the time, while Marion
McKendree is cast as Madame Pernelle, Orgon's mother. Damis, Orgon's young son, will be played by
Jeff DeMunn, a young actor making
his first appearance with the Galaxy players.
Marianne, sister of Damis, is
played by Margaret Meriwether with
John Noble cast as her lover,
Valere, Ingrid Forst plays Flipote,
Madame Pernelle's maid.

Dishonest Pietism
%i
"Tartuffe," a satire on hypocrisy,
tells the story of how an unsuspecting honorable man gets duped by
his guest Tartuffe, who is the epitome of dishonest pietism. How Tartuffe fools his host and how the
other members of the family conspire against him make for an
hilarious series of complications
in this fast-paced comedy.
The Galaxy Players, organized
in 1963, have recently formed a
permanent company in order to
further ensemble playing and to
present true repertory. Costumes
and decor are designed by members
of the company and all principal
players have liad professional training. They will present two other
plays at Page Hall during the coming season under the sponsorship
of the University's Dramatics Council and the regional office ot the
American National Theatre and
Academy.
Tickets are available now at the
ticket office located on the new campus in the Humanities building, room
130. You may make your reservations by calling 457-8502 between
11:10 a.m. and 3:3U p.m.

Program to Explain
Student Government
During the Summer Planning Conference plans for a program of
orientation to government activities
were formed. At the time of the
conference,
Student Association
president William Cleveland stated
that there was a definite need for
a program which would help new
students become aware of the many
duties of the student government.
Acquaintance witti the operations
is to be brought about through actual participation in the various
areas. It is hoped that the new students will take advantage of tile
program for several reasons.
Duties of Government
Firstly, they will see the duties
of the various government areas
and will learn the procedure of
operations.
Secondly, they will become acquainted with the people who are
active in the various areas.
Thirdly, they will have the opportunity to gain practical knowledge and to demonstrate their own
Auditions Planned
For Carousel '66
Auditions for Carousel '00, the
All-University Reception Show, will
be held Monday and Tuesday, October 3 and -1, 1900. Diane Somervllle
and John Webb, Reception Show CoChairmen, have announced that In
the Interests of convenience, one
evening of auditions will be Ueld at
each campus. Brubacher lower
lounge will serve for auditions on
Monday, October 3; Tuesday night's
tryouts will be held in Room 124 of
the Humanities Building on the new
campus. Piano accompaniment will
be provided for both evenings.
The Reception, an annual musical
variety show which serves to acquaint the university community with
performing talent within Itself, Is
open, according to John and Diane,
to all university students. The show,
to be presented tills year on October 21 and 22 In Page Hall, welcomes any type of performer, An
addition to this year's presentation
will be a performing chorus. Help
Is also needed for technical aspects
of the show. Questions may be addressed to Diane at 457-8000, or
to John at 472-8744.
capabilities." All this would give"
the student a better working knowledge of the government activities
and a greater perspective at election time.
Students interested would become
a non-voting member of the area of
their choice, and would change areas
each month. They would be expected
to act as a regular member would
with the exception of the voting
privilege.
Applications for the program are
available ill the Student Association
office in Ryckman Hall on the Dutch
Quadrangle. The office hours are
from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily,
and from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
to 12:00 p.m. on Friday morning.
Applications have a listing of all
the government areas open to new
student members. The applications
will be available now through October 4.
He explained that the management had based Its decision to close
at mealtimes on two factors; the
problem of restacklng the depleted
shelves, and the' fact that the employees had to have a time to eat.
With the Student Center, in which
the Bookstore was to be housed,
not completed, problems aroseover
where to pub the bookstore. The
library donated the space; however
the bookstore management didn't
know where they were going until
three weeks before the semester
opened.
Traffic Problems

Booklist Available
On the inconvenience caused by
the lack of a booklist, which resulted
from a computer breakdown, Godfrey commented that if better organization had been taken perhpas it
would have been possible to have at
least a partial Fall booklist available in the Spring.
Porter stated that It "should be
better next year-we shouldn't be too
harsh on the whole situation."
However he felt that if more attention had been given to marketing
procedure some of the resulting confusion could have been alleviated.
Porter cited an example of the fact
that the Bookstore had trouble locating adequate outlets for the cash
registers thus decreasing the number of booklines which could have
been available.
The Main Dispute
Davey explained that by keeping
the shelves restacked they originally
hoped to make it possible for students to have to come to the bookstore only once.
Also the management only had
three weeks to more into new accommodations; these are the weeks
in which final bookwork is usually
done. It wasnecessary topractically

creating more confusion.

Pan-Hell Report
by J o e N i c a s t r i
PattI Swltzer and I held sort of
an informal meeting last Thursday
night and began constructing our
pg-program for the coming year.
Of course, as I mentioned last i s sue, "Greek Week" was the prime
topic of discussion. We've come up
with a tentative agenda which will
be presented to you for your judgments and opinions in the coming
weeks. We're counting on your support to make this Greek Week the
highlighting function during the University year.
O f f i c e Space
We are doing all that we can to
get office space so that we will have
a central, efficient, and easily accessible coordinating body,
In two weeks, again as was mentioned last issue, we are going to
have an inter-fraternal meeting
hopefully with guest speakers who
will help us start off the year to
the best advantage. More news will
be coming about that.
We wish to express our sincere
hopes for many successful years
to Upsllon Phi Sigma who will become a chartered fraternity this
year. ISC Is hoping to see the birth
of a new sorority very shortly.
Anyone interested in forming a new
Greek group is welcome to seek
our help and support.
As a note of business, next Wednesday there will be an ISC-IFC
meeting at 7:30. Immediately afterwards there will be a Pan-Hellenic
meeting. Dress will be jackets and
ties for the gents and similarly'
appropriate dress for the ladies.
Thursday there will be a meeting
of all sororities and fraternities at
7:30.
Again we would like to express
our desire for a strong Fall Rush
and an eventful year,'

Duplicate bridge - match points differs from rubber bridge in many
subtle ways. Today's hand illustrates the way a match point player
views the scoring of a hand.
The bidding is pretty normal except for West's raise to two spades.
This is a duplicate bid paving the
way for a possible sacrifice. South
is willing to settle for seven clubs
since any grand slam is likely to
produce a good score at duplicate.
Then East decides to sacrifice at
seven spaces and South must pause
to consider. Most pairs will probably be in some slam with the
N-Scards. A small slam, even in
clubs, vulnerable, is worth more
than 1300 points, and the grand slam
more than 2100.
So in order to make enough by
doubling E-W, they must be set
eight tricks; or, to make up for the
grand slam, twelve tricks. And with
South's distribution, that is most unlikely. Notice that E- will be set
only five at seven spades.
Therefore, South decides that he
must bid seven no-trump. The rubber bridge player would most likely
settle for the sure set Instead of
gambling on his partner having a
good diamond suit.
As you can see, the play is simple there are fourteen available tricks.
All's well that ends well.

For Televised Course,
'Eye On The Universe'
More than 90 persons have registered to date for a three-hour credit
television course in astronomy,
"Eye on the Universe." Irving C.
Vershoor, Dean of General Studies,
said that the number Is double the
total enrollment for credit in the
undergraduate course last year.
Registration for the astronomy
course as well as for two televised
courses, in Latin American history
closes October 1.
When "Eye on the Universe"
was introduced last spring, the University received several letters indicating its popularity. A Rensselaer man wrote, "I find this program
delightful and of intense interest,
probably because it is delivered to
us viewers in a very simple, clear
manner."

The Albany professor was a member of the planning committee and
of the committee which determined
discussion topics. Dr. Frasure, who
joined the SUNYA faculty in 1948,
did his undergraduate work at Southern Illinois University and later received his master of arts, master
of education, and doctor of education degrees from the University of
Illinois.
He became a full professor at
the Albany institution in 1952. From
1951 until 1960 he served as chairman of the program in educational
administration and then was chairman of the education department
until 1903. He was named associate
dean two years ago.
In 1959 Dr. Frasure was chairman of the committee to design
and implement the first doctoral
program in education at SUNYA, a
program in educational administration. Since 1903 he has served as
chairman of doctoral programs in
the School of Education.
The other is of a nationwide population of professors and superintendents. Among other conclusions
the studies indicated that while there
was general agreement between the
professors and practicing administration on the rank order of items
submitted for consideration, the
more experienced professors and
superintendents tended to agree
more fully than less experienced
professors and superintendents.

ALBANY, NEW YORK
by Ed Longe
September 30, 1966
Before I begin the intended drivel which will be
incorporated into the text of this column* I shall
begin with a slight bit of maudlin writing involving
beauty which SUPPOSEDLY is artistic or aesthetic.
Isn't the new campus beautiful? No? Well, I think
it is, especially at night. Before the minor deluge we
had, (which kind of grunged things up) I noticed that
Mr. E. D. Stone has designed a campus for us which
is far more spectacular than Draper ever was (which,
by the way always seemed to be in a state of constant
grunginess). Not that I have anything against Draper
you understand; I will as probably many of you will
always feel rather sentimentally, in love with the old
place. However, my feeling begins and ends with
sentimentality.
Overgrown Ice Cube Tray
Admittedly, the new campus does have the look of
and overgrown ice cube tray o r perhaps a monastic
cloister. But you must admit (please) that it does
look also like an academic institution (whatever they
look like). Beauty, beauty, I almost forgot. The design
of the lighting in the library resembles a brilliant
poinsetta? Zinnia? Oh well, it is a very pretty example of radial symmetry. At night the lighting from
all of those vertical windows (which are really not
fortress gun slits for Indian attacks as someone
mentioned) cast a golden glow over the proportionate
combination of straight and curved lines.
I think i t ' s pretty; if you don't, ...ah, go look at
a sunset or something.
A Plug from Arts
Welcome Freshmen, how's that for overly used
trivia? Pretty good huh? Now that you have heard
plugs from every other organization on campus,
and you are now on the last page of the ASP, it is
time for a plug from Arts. Join Arts. There that is
it. Seriously, you have come to a school which is
rather proudly active in the field of Arts. The Drama
department produces four major shows a year plus
many smaller productions, all of which are open to
all students. The University Revue is a yearly, student-produced musical which is also open to all.
This year we are producing "Carnival." Any of you
newly-arrived actors, technicians, set constructors,
and scene painters should make yourself know and
active.
