We would have cancelled the Limeliters Concert (because of the MSU senior trip) and also the Brothers' Four Concert (because of the early vacation) but we were bound under contract. Last Saturday night the Varsity Ball was held in the Student Center in conjunction with the University Theater play. The plays, as we all realize, are con­ stantly SRO (standing room only) on Saturday nights — complete sellouts. So, what were the 200 some-odd coup­ les attending the V-Ball supposed to • do other than dance at the center? As a matter of fact, the Social Com­ mission has cancelled its tentative dance on the 17 of February be­ cause of the fact that SMC and ND both have productions. Sometimes we have a tough time communicating with the SMC agenda, not including their "theatrical asso­ ciation." Last spring, after my ap­ pointment, I personally went to SMC to ask what dates were planned on their social calendar. Unfortunately, in an election mix-up, the SMC ad­ ministration refused to appoint a Social Commissioner until the follow­ ing October, so nothing was planned. Our schedule of dates was planned before we left for the summer vaca­ tion last year, with each chairman and committee appointed then also. Our second semester social calendar was completed last October, along with tentative chairmen. As far as I am concerned, I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Mier that I lack "charity." I'm dealing with the whole campus in scheduling events, and when a group comes to me and asks for a Saturday night date for a hall event I have no charity Here's deodorant protection whatsoever.

The University Theater's produc­ tion of Arms and the Man is nothing short of hilarious. The timing of the famous Shavian jabs and other punch lines was perfect, and the entire per­ formance seemed geared to elicit the greatest possible audience response. Almost every line that can be used for a laugh, and some that can't, was interpreted for the maximum comic effect, and the result is one riotous exchange after another. When the thunderous laughter and applause (which are well deserved) subside, there remains the question of whether Shaw should be presented as ribald comedy approaching farce. One obvious disadvantage is that when every line is played for laughs, the audience begins to wait for the laugh line and a serious line when it occurs, is awkward. The actors seem uncomfortable and the audience is uncomfortable. This situation oc­ curred a few times during Arms and the Man, such as when James Loula "THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF YOUR OLD SCHOLASTIC. as Sergius explains that he is truly brave, or when Frank Vitro as Blunt- schli tells of his friend who was burned alive. But these moments are infrequent and the alternative, play­ ing Arms ayid the Man fairly straight, as high comedy, would have run the CRITIQUE risk of producing a completely awk­ ward play. Another alternative to doing the play as a hilarious comedy, would be to keep the play as a satire. However most of the satire in Arms and the Man has lost its bite from Shaw's time to now. The romantic concept of war is held by practically no one ARMS md at all, so a satire on this idea would mean nothing to the audience today. The irony and satire in the coming of western civilization to the Balkans is an anachronism, since today even the Far East is rapidly Westernizing, let alone Eastern Europe. There is the NAN possible material for satire in the fact that in AdM the handsome hero doesn't get the heroine but a servant girl, and a bourgeois realist gets the romantic heroine, but this facet of love interest isn't pointed up by the University Theater. Finally the play could be considered as a satire on romanticism in general, but romantic ideas aren't really popular nor pre­ valent now, and a modem collegiate audience will probably contain few romantics. Arms and the Man is supposedly a comedy of Ideas, but it is simply dif­ ficult to perform this way because The Scholastic 16 the ideas are dated.

There were times, hoWiPver, when Mr. Cavanaugh was on the verge of plunging into complete burlesque, replete with pies in the face, pratfalls, and Keystone Kops. Mr. Cavanaugh's treatment of Major Petkoff was hyper-imaginative, and his complete control of an old man's actions down to his hand and mouth movements was simply pro­ fessional. Mary Armbruster, as Mrs. Petkoff, should have refrained from her for­ malized and self-conscious gestures and facial expressions because they only detracted from a performance which, in Christian charity, might be called adequate.

Armand Reo, Notre Dame's out­ standing captain, was recently named by Sporting News as one of the top fifteen graduating seniors in college basketball. Included in the list were Jerry Lucas, Terry Dischinger, Bill McGill, Chet Walker, Dave Debuss- chere, John Havlicek, Mel Nowell, LeRoy Ellis, Don Nelson, Len Chap- pell, Jack Foley, Jim Hadnot, Paul Hogue, Gene Wiley, and Reo. According to the News, the class of 1962 is the greatest senior class in all basketball history. • Also mentioned in the same article was Creighton's great sophomore, Paul Silas, whose performance in the Fieldhouse last Saturday proved his HURDLER JOHN MULROONEY right to such acclaim.

The most important thing in college football and what We are trying to develop is what I call the "winning complex." The team must get the confidence that it can beat anyone in the country. It must believe, not just hope, that it is better than the team it is playing. Once this winning complex is developed, Notre Dame will be more consistent and once again have top flight teams. This is mere conjecture, but I feel that if this team had heaten Michigan State it might have started believing that it was one of the top squads in the country and then 't might have become one. Do you feel that you are on schedule in developing this "winning complex"? Yes, I feel that the team is becoming more effective each year.
