·Ask any music major what an opera is. Usually the answer would b~
something like this - ·" An opera is a combination of vocal and instrumental music set to a dramatic story and mounted on an elaborate stage."
Now however, the answer would be "T~e Medium," by Gian-Carlo
Menotti, to be presented May 10' at 8 p.m. in the college auditorium.
"The Medium" is the story of a
woman who makes her living as a
fake medium with the help of her
daughter and a mute boy. In the
course of her meddling with the supernat ral, a situation arises which
is not explicable by the tricks she
has resorted to. The unfolding of
the story is the effect' the situation
has upon. her.

spring. One does not. I do not. The greening campus and approaching
graduation are both alluring and frightening, and my resistance has
crumbled like Jericho's walls. But even under the debris, the air is sweet.
Remembering high school graduation and my whole-hearted
glee at the time, I must shake my head at the callousness of
youth. All right, Charley, laugh. But one of the acquisitions
of' matupty is an edging of melancholy. It is a basic human

the two. th:nepiece.s may have agreed
last week, but it's doubtful they will
this week.
Reading plays demands a certain technique from the reader . . . and
as a result, many college students bumble their way through literature
without ever considering drama as something readable. Sometimes they
even fail to consider it as something seeable. But anyone wlio l).as enjgyed a ~heatrical production on the stage and has a pictorial imagination
should try his hand at! reading some plays.
1
And, as Jt. suggestion from an old play reader, there's nothing
better for a starter than an .Irish play or two. The Irish are a
remarkable people. With one of the lowest birthrates in m'odern .
society, · they seem to have Yturned their passions to other things
than physical begetting - and among th~ "other things" is the
theatre. When the Irish rebellion w:as gop.g hot and heavy, the
theatre (centralized in the Dublin Ab~ey) was one of its
strongest organs of expression. Most Irish dramas we read
nbwadays are set in the times of the revolution or the era of
Irish folklore. The strong national feeling and a sense for both
the .tragi cal and funny existing side by side in humans make the
Irish drama an art form of distinction. 1
One of the books which best shows tills is the Modern Library
anthology entitled "Five Great Modern Irish Plays." Its contents are
the three full-length plays: "The Playboy of the Western ·world," "Juno
and the Paycock," and "Shadow and Substance" - as well as the oneacts "Riders to the Sea" and :•spreading the ~ews." Opening the volum~
is a concise and accurate introduction by George Jean Nathan. He stresses
the "poetic pulse" in Irish drama, and he is justified in doing ·so. The
five plays in this volume show as strongly ~s any selection could that
the 'Irish are a people with deep and dramatically inclined feelings . . . as
well as the words to ·e:llpress them.
'
I, after seeing it murdered in innumerable high school oneact play contests, am still partial to !Synge's "Riders to tlie Sea."
Anyone who has had to dig around 1 in a bat-filled prop room
after a spinning wheel for an adolescent Maurya with a :Midwestern-Irish accent • : • and .who STILL enjoys watching and
reading the play • • • should be living testimony enough for
Synge's virtues as a playwright. ' This little one-act tragedy of
the fisherfolk on the Aryan islands. is a theatrical jewel. The ·
poetry of the writing, 'especially in the sceDllls where the old
Ma.urya is bemoaning the loss of her last son, is unexcelled -in
dramatic literature. And her final reconcttiattoh· with fate comes
like a benediction.

Here's the Point! ·
By Karen Francis
Stevens Point is no Shangri-La. If it were, there wouldn't be room
for all the pepple longing to linger in its lush, green paradise.
One day, long ago, God looked down at this area skirting
the fringe of glacial Lake Wisconsin and didn't like . what He
saw. 'This part of the valley that so much resembled a vast
platter, needed help. So, He shook His shaggy brows and millions of tiny, winged seeds tumbled out and wafted down to the
earth below _ we1comed by both clay and sandy soil alike. It
. wasn't long before tiny fingers of green covered this land ·like
a carpet of down. when God •saw this His tears of joy watered
the thirsty feather$ of green and His smile of pleasure nurtured
the hungry infants of love so that they grew intO trees so
straight and tall tpat they were a sight indeed! In fact, they
grew so tall that He only had to stretch out His hands to caress
the crowns that so gently whispered, "Aren't we pretty?"
