Thus, full-time students who were carrying 12 to 14 credits, and received an unreported grade in one course, were automatically put on notice by the computer for not completing the minimum of 12 credits for full-time students; any students who were already on report from last semester, or have been on report twice before in their academic ca- reers, were sent letters of dismissal. Morton Reichler, the hearing officer for Under- graduate Studies who handles student dismissal, said the letters are sent to all students who are candidates for dismissal, but that the letter clearly states that there may be a mistake. 'This way, we can rectify the mistakes right away," he said. "The alternative [of not sendingout letters until the list of dismissal candidates is complete] is worse: students would not find out until several weeks into the next semester." Reichler said the university usually sends about 550 letters of dismissal per semester. Strockbine estimated that less than 50 students were sent dis- missal -,--:,- .

The current production of Steambathat Theatre Three demonstrates, unquestionably, that the play has with- held the test of time. Under the inspired direction of Bill Van Horn, the play takes on a new relevancy (seemingly more in tune with our current, yuppified society than that which existed in the early 70's) while its humor remains intact, if not refreshed. While this is due, in part, to minor alterations (most notably the updatec selection of music), this production is faithful to Bruce Jay Friedman's original text. In Steambath, Friedman has created a contemporary and humorously off-beat setting through which he ad- dresses an archtypical question of mankind. The charac- ters here find themselves, inexplicably,sharing a steambath. As they become acquainted with one another, and share recollections of where they were before their sudden arrival at the steambath, they come to realize that they are dead and that the steambath which they are sharing is a s f purgatory. The ques- tion which they each must facets that of the nature of life and death and of God who is, quite logically, the steambath attendant. Tandy, the principle character in the play, has diffi- culty in accepting both his death and the God who has perpetrated that death upon him. His struggle to recon- cile himself with his fate and accept God as a Jamaican steambath attendant make for some of the funniest and most poignant moments in this satire. As God, Fayton Hollington all but steals the show. From the moment he appears onstage (singing a rastaf- arian tune while attending to the more mundane chores of the steambath) through his performance of routine magic tricks (in an attempt to turn Tandy into a "be- liever") and his implementation of a video monitor in determining the world's fate Hollington commands the stage with his inate grandeurand timely comedic sense. As difficult as this implicitly contradictory character must be to portray, Hollington manages it with such expertise that it actually enhances the fluidity of the play land bolsters the performances of the rest of the cast. This is particularly true when Tandy (perfectly por- trayed by William Lardi)undergoes a painful self- realization in the face of God and death. Without a believable God, this epiphany (of sorts) would seem ridiculous, Tandy would come off as a fool and the pro- duction rendered a parody. 14 STATESMAN Thursday January 23, 1986 = - il -Wwlmiii -- - - * I f -i---o--- Mae i Would You Like (_^\ S~~~~tony Brook a *^*^s CVillage cMarket a To Make | - - i | - | | - d~~~~~~~~~~~r| The Oral Biology Department of - Ai ------SoJSheir m the School of Dental Medicine, Tuesday Is Shopyinci,=7:,, 1|1 -Stya UniversHy of New York at -- - Stony- Broo, - m is undertak ng a study R to evaluate a toothpaste for :] I effeciveness in reducing or . - Discount Dali I eliminaffng pain associated with at the sensitive teeth.
