I (Continued from Page 3) considered which changes were interesting and which were too much. We've really changed al- most nothing, except personal pronouns, plus a very few al- terations in certain lines that could not work when exchang- ed.'' IS THIS really the point? What' is their justification for the change? "Justification?" says producer Stern. "Our purpose is simply to give the audience a great time. "Although the male female switch brings up some interest- ing points, and some very fun- ny scenes, we are not trying to make a big feminist state- ment or anything like that. We aren't trying to improve the show, either, because von can't improve on a masterpiece. "What we can do is add our own creativity," Stern con- tinues, "a spice which always makes things more interesting for the audience. If you think that's a dumb idea, I sinnose it was dumb to do an all-black, modernized "Wizard of Oz", although that resnited in, "The Wiz" which is still running af- ter winning Best Musical of 1972. I suppose it was dumb to stage "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on tranezes and trampolines -- but when Peter Brooks did it with the Royal Shakespeare Company, it was such a success in London that they broight it to New York, where it was a fantastic smash. Possibly so, but such inspir- ations have a tendency to draw enemies. Student shows are of- ten attacked by script rental companies, usually for finan- cial reasons - a show is not paying royalties, or is charging more for tickets than they re- ported. Copyright and perfor- mance laws can cause even more complications because they are ,unclear on just how much a performing organiza- tion can alter an author's work. Still the Soph show troupe nourishes some concern that whatz you know" BSE I life.I might save youri its production may be seen1 in some quarters as an irre- verant and therefore illegal in-J terpretation' of the original. 1 "As law usually goes, that's a fuzzy issue," Stern explains. "Technically you are not sup-1 posed to make script altera- tions, but A: it is done all the time, and B: our alterations,' though they may seem to be drastic, are very minor. Nat- urally the laws exist to discour- age any Joe-off-the-street from butchering a musical or mis- representing its idea. But in our show, very few words have been changed, no music has been changed, and the whole production is still faithful to the beauty and satire of the orig- inal. The companies that hold' rights for musicals are really mostly concernedabout royal- ties : understandably so- that's their business. Of course, we are paying complete royal- ties and everything. There is no question about our financial obligations." rHIS "HOW TO SUCCEED" also involves larger con- sequences for Soph Show in general which has always held some'- ' tenuous ground. Soph Show may be, and often is, thought of as Musket's younger sister: it is the an- nual UAC musical presenta- tion put on (mostly) by fresh- people and sophomores. Yet Soph Show has so vacillated in quality and in its ability to make money that inevitably someone periodically motions to eliminate it altogether.. The motions have always failed, but two years ago one came very close to success. For Soph Show '74, UAC told the producer, then - sopho- more Robert Bianco (who has since gone on to produce Mus- ket's "Godspell", "Guys and l Dolls" and others), that unless' their production broke even financially, Soph Show would be scrapped. That was the year of "Damn Yankees", a produc- tion which sold out, actually turned a profit, and made Soph Show much more popular-and secure. Still, partly because of last year's disorganization, part- ly out of financial considera- tions, there is "word around" that Soph Show must provel itself again. Were there no Sonh Show, several hindred highly talent- ed inderclassnersons would be totally out of the theatre pic-' ture. Musket does not have room for them. 'while any al- ternative less than a full pro- duction deprives them of vital exnerience in the art of mount- ing a maior show. "How to Sucreed" is a pivotal show. If it fails, Soph Show will be in a bad noinon. If it triumphs, no n will fnreat it-ertainlv not if this UAC hoard has anything to do with it. "Theater is not and never ha's been a cautiouis art." says di- rector Shaniro, turning away for a moment from a rehear- sal he's managing. He loork hark un toward the stage and tells an actor, "You're putting me to sleen." He shouts to an- other, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" As an afterthought he adds, "I don't believe you either." T TNLIKE THOSE who may scoff at the idea that a University musical production can be a legitimate form of art, Shapiro takes the musical and his part in it seriously. "This isn't a Chekhov play," he laughs, "but it demands a lot of concentration and a lot of inventiveness on the actor's part. Our male / female switch, of course, has created several new problems in characteriza- tion, but we're solving them; they are very interesting." Megnwhile, choreographer Sherri Fenkel, last year's as- sistant choreographer for "Hel- lo Dolly", works feverishlyj with soloists, racing between notes on 'her chair and the danc- ing, area. Music director Leif Bjland walks by with armloads of orchestral parts, Stage Man- ager Bill Holb studies set blue- prints, and Publicity Head Tom Wiese designs exnosure stra- tegy with Stern. "Our publicity campaign is extensive", says Stern, "but it has to be care- fully managed because we don't have a huge bankroll." At midnight, Stern closes up the UAC Center, and heads out into the snow. "You know what they say," he grins, "No Guts, No Glory". ri at the UNION STUDENT SPECIAL S U B S R C I B E Y2 Chicken f 1 r Belfrys & Cole Slaw $2.95 Sunday & Monday 5:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m..

During this time, our services to our residents have increased, and we are still trying to do our best. When you are spending hundreds of dollars, you want to be sure you are getting your moneysworth. At UNIVERSITY TOWERS APARTMENTS we know our tenants are getting services equivalent toevery penny spent. Even though our tenants are satisfied, there is still room for improvement.

In addition, no other landlord can offer all these services, 4 month winter leases (single liabiilty-you are responsible only for your own rent), furnished apartments, weekly maid service, a laundromat, 24 hour security, movies and parties that are free for all residents-all that and more within a three minute walk to the Diag.
