Actor Vincent Price
To Appear On Campus
Vincent Price, king of the  »ljijs«»-—_______
horror movies, will present a
one-man show in Warriner
Auditorium, Feb. 9 at 8 p.m.
Admission is free.
The show will be "Three
American Voices," and will include selections from Walt
Whitman's "Leaves of Grass,"
James A. McNeill Whistler's,
"The Gentle Art of Making
Enemies," and a character
Sketch called "The Last of My
Gold Watches," by Tennessee
Williams.
Price's talent has proven itself in his past performances     |^
of parts ranging from the ro-     |'
mantic to the sinister role. His
acting career began in London
when he tried out for a part in
the play, "Chicago" on a dare.
He got the part. Price's performances have made some of
the   characters   of  American
movies unforgettable. His famous   portrayals  include  the
cold, sneering and sinister Mr.
Manningham   in   "Angel
Street,"   an   alcoholic   Southerner in Maxwell Anderson's
"The Eve of Saint Mark" and
the "dawdling horror of over-
sophisticated   civilization"   in
"Laura."
Vincent Price's original goal
was to become a professor or
art collector. He graduated
from Yale University in 1933
with a major in art, and went
from there to London University to study fine arts. When
he was 12 years old, Price

is listed in "Who's Who Among
Students in American Universities and Colleges."
A math major and accounting minor, Lake is a member
• of Kappa Mu Epsilon, honorary    mathematics    fraternity;
Phi   Mu   Alpha,   professional
music   fraternity;   and   Phi
Kappa Phi, academic honorary
fraternity.    An    accomplished
musician, he plays first chair
clarinet in Central's Wind Ensemble  and also  gives piano
recitals.
Lake is graduating with a
3.66 accumulative point average. He was.also valedictorian
of his graduating class at Ith-
■aca  High  School.
After obtaining his masters
degree, he plans a career in
secondary education because,
as he puts it, "I like teaching
that age group—giving them
the basics and fundamentals
in math."
Lake decided on Central because he liked the size and believes that the school offers a
good campus life. He also likes
the math department here and
finds   mathematics   challenging because it is "an exacting
science rather than arbitrary."
The eternal question is hv
variably: How did you do it?
Lake feels that it is a matter
of work rather than time. He
feels that he has had to spend
less hours studying than most
students  but  he  has   always
strived to make the hours that
he studies concentrated.

Concert Series
Is In the Black
The Men's Union board announced Tuesday that the Pop
Concert Series is anticipated
to pay for itself completely
this year.
"When dealing with an excess of $20,000 contracts, season tickets are the only obvious way we (M.U.) can pay the
50 per cent in advance demanded by professional contracts for a booking," a board
spokesman said.
The board spokesman, who
did not want to be named,
stated .that MU was financially a little into the red before Christmas but confirmed
that the figures are now blacky
although no indications were
given why or how. Men's Union
. is a non-profit student organization.
Although ticket sales fell
about 500 short of the expected
3000, the remaining ticket
packs -foeing sold at the door;
have made up for this deficit,
the board said.
The board expressed gratitude for the Well attended cGnv
certs. This was MU's first
venture into a series of con*
certs, father than single per-
iormances.
