"King John" is a history play
about history. Political self-inte-'
rest' is more significant than psy-
chological motivation. Despite the
obstacles to characterization the
play presents, the University Play-.
ers performed admirably last night
in' Trueblood Auditorium.

. Philip Faulconbridge, the King's
bastard cousin, is the most inte-
resting personality since he de-
velops from a swash-bucking, glib
and. utterly charming opportunist
to become the King's most devoted
patriot. To Peter Coffield's credit,
he was sincere in both roles, and
his reform was convincing.

More easily convincing is his
foil, the French Dauphin (Robert
Sevra), who abandons his honor-
able service to the Papal Legate
to assert France's interest above
Rome.
The technique of contrasting
two similar characters guided the
portrayal of the King's mother
(Holly Villaire) and Constance
(Katherine Ferrand), mother of
the claimant to the throne. The
young Constance ranged from re-
gal restraint to passionate grief
expressing her ambition for her
son, but the old Queen mother
forced her words from a source as

ulent practices in the recent elec-
tions," said Prof. David Wurfel,
recently returned from observing
the South Vietnamese elections.
Speaking Wednesday night at
the "America in Crisis" teach-in,
Wurfel questioned the success of
the September 15 vote, and of U.S.
strategy. He said that by remain-
ing in Vietnam, the U.S. was de-

professor in the University's poli-
tical science department.
Wurfel contended that the elec-
tionscould have been a step to-
ward peace and toward agn even-
tual reunification of Vietnam if
they had been conducted without
fraud. He said that had the elec-
tions been fair, "the Saigon gov-
ernment would be in a strong

that people were unable to vote

people will choose to support the

Wurfel would like to see the U.S.
negotiate as soon as possible; he
said, "Our position is weakening,
the longer things go on the less
we will have to negotiate."
Wurfel added that the "Amer-
ican involvement in Vietnam has
bec n'one of total self-deception,"
and "Americans have replaced
French colonial interests in Viet-
nam."

Vi"f: Ernest Katz of the physics

The performance is being spon-

their appearances.
The program will include se-

"hakespeare will be given, includ-

Wurfel pointed out that instead

closer to 25 per cent was more
appropriate, and in this context
