A letter of explanation from

Other suggestions were to

until Saturday afternoon and
keep at least one food commons open.
In other action, a committee
of senior senators was formed
to study the University's terminal program of testing to be
held- February 11 for seniors.

similiar to the aptitude tests
taken by freshmen and will be
entered on the student's record.
Robert Warren, Ronan, said
he objected to being coerced
into taking a test he had already taken as a freshman.
"When you get to be a senior,
it is a little too late to find out
your potentialities and aptitudes for your' chosen profession," Warren added.
-Grove Sandrock, Barnes, explained that the tests will
cause inconvience to extern-
ing students required to return here just for the tests.
Glenn Bills, Thorpe, reported that he had contacted
Dr. Frank Myers, health and
safety Committee, and was told
of the progress being made on
the hitching post.
Dr. Myers explained to Bills
that he had called around for
two hours to get a quorum for
the December 17 meeting of
his committee but could not
get one. Dr, Myers has material from the police department,
Western Michigan .University
and Michigan State University

Williams' Play
Coming Jan. 18
The- University Theatre is
coming of age with its second
major' production of the school
year, "A Streetcar Named De-
sire," a play by Tennessee
Williams.     *       . '
The play, center of much
controversy in the American
Theatre in its first year of
presentation in New York, won
the Pulitzer Prize, the Donaldson Award and the New York
Drama Critics Award.
Tennessee Williams, one of
the foremost playwrights of
our time, also includes among
his works such celebrated
plays as "Cat on a Hot Tin
Roof," "The Glass Menagerie"
and "The Rose Tattoo.".
"Streetcar" is a haunting
story of love and disillusionment set amid the squalor of a
poor section in New Orleans.
It centers on the tormented
character of Blanche .DuBois,
who, in her clutching desperation, searches for love and
happiness, in a world deformed
for her by reality.
Eventually she entangles
others in this web of discord—
her sister, Stella, her sensuous
brother.-in-law Stanley and
Mitch,   a   man   mellowed   by
mother love:	
The production is directed
by Keith Stanley Titus, Speech
and Drama Department. Lead
player of the cast include
Carole Burrows as Blanche,
Connie Weiger as Stella, Sal
De Mercurio as Stanley and
Pete Newell as Mitch.
Others in the cast are Beverly Wells, Dan Albright, Jim
Voss, Elaine Slowik, John
Johnson, Brian Veenhuis and
Lorraine Leis.
The curtain- will raise on
"A Streetcar Named Desire"
at 8*p.m. in Warriner Auditorium Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of next week. Tickets
may be purchased in the University Box Office. v

"Due to the Governor's'
heavy schedule-and the state
of the State address, I doubt
if the Governor will be able
to release names of the mem^
bers "of the other .[Boards before
next week," George Trumbull,
assistant press secretary; to the
Governor, said. -Wednesday."
The State Board of Educa
' tion,. which previously . goyj-
erned.. Central, • was: ruled ;by
Attorney General Frank Kel-
ley to.be inoperative, when-the
new Constitution went into'effect.
According to President Jud-
son W. Foust, Governor Rom-
ney .wrote a letter to the four
institutions governed by the
State Board (Eastern, "Northern, Western and Central) asking that they continue to adhere to the previous regulations and agencies until a com
plete transition had been ac
complished.
Under the new Constitution
and with the individual Boards
in control, the schools can use
State agencies they feel will
be most'.useful in their own
instanced, i
""Under the old system," said
President Foust, "we were a
State agency like the Police or
Highway Commission. With
the new opportunities we will
undoubtedly want to use some
of the divisions we used before
the revision.
"For instance, by using the
State Purchasing Division we
can save time and money.
When purchasing new cars,
the State buys in a fleet. Instead of buying one .or two at
a time, if, when we decide to
replace' automobiles, we submit our requests to the State-
organization. We can undoubtedly save because the units
will be purchased dn such a
large scale," he said.
"The other obvious advantages," President Foust continued, "involve pebple that
will be on the new Board of
Control. In the past we've been
awfully lucky in having such
well qualified people on the
Boards, <bu't 'consider that the
four old members had seven
State Institutions to Eovern.
Simply divide the time that
they had to spend by seven.
