'Incident at Vichy': Man's
Guilt in All Atrocities
INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT
4
By JILL CRABTREE
The place is an old abandoned
railroad station or an armory in
Vichy, France. The time is Sep-
tember, 1942, and the point is a
demonstration of every man's
guilt.in all the atrocities that have
ever been committed. That is a
very big theme, and it is explored
with a considerable degree of suc-
cess by the University Players in
"Incident at Vichy."
The play is a very difficult one
to do from the point of view of the
actors. There is no elaborate
s.cenery or "business," and even
plot is minimal. There are no
crutches for an actor to fall back
on, and he must carry the play
by his ability to make the dialogue
forceful for the audience. This is
what the University Players have
managed to do.

WASHINGTON-A bill to pro-
vide income tax credit of up to
$325 for college students and their
parents was re-introduced in the
Senate recently by Sen. Abraham
Ribicoff (D-Conn).
The proposal, co-sponsored by
46 senators, is opposed by several
major education associations, in-
cluding the National Association
of State Universities and Land-
Grant Colleges and the Associa-
tion of State Colleges and Uni-
versities.
Ribicoff's bill would allow a 75
per cent income tax credit on the
first $200 of tuition, fees, books,
and supplies. This means that if
one paid $200 tuition, $150 could
be deducted from thei ndividual's
net income tax bill. The next $300
would be lessened by a 25 per
cent credit, allowing another $75
in deductions from the tax due,
while a 10 per cent credit, or up
to $100, would be provided on the
following $1000.
The Connecticut senator's pro-
posal this year is slightly changed
from those he has introduced in
previous sessions of Congress. For'
the first time. it gives coverage to
