Book Guide
The Student Government Coun-
cil Readingand Discussion Com-
mittee is ready to offer students
"guided outside reading" for the
summer, Roger Seasonwine, '61,
member of the committee states.
All University students are urged
to use the reading list of books
from the period of the 1920's. The
list covers five viewpoints of the
period: political, historical, eco-
nomic, literary, and sociological.
Sign-up lists for the program
will be in the residence halls,
sororities, and fraternities by May
21. Any other students interested
may contact Mrs. Ruth T. Calla-
han, administrative assistant to
the Dean of Men, Student Activi-
ties Building. The committee hopes
to have an estimate of the student
interest by May 25.'
Program Informal
Emphasizing the informality of.
the program, Seasonwein said that"
early in the fall semester a panel
discussion will be held by faculty
from. each of these fields.
At present, Prof. George A. Peek,
Jr. of the political science depart-
ment, Prof. Theodore M. Newcomb
of the sociology department, Prof.
Edwin A. Engel of the English de-
partment, and Prof. Harold M.
Levinson of the economics depart-
ment have consented to work with!
the program.
Committee Chose Books
The committee, Seasonwein
states, has chosen the basic books
for the list. These are: Frederick
L. Allen's "Only Yesterday," Ar-
thus J. Schlessinger's "Crisis of
the Old Order," two plays byt
Eugene O'Neill, novels by F. Scotte
Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, orc
Sinclair Lewis, and a criticism by
H. L. Mencken, as well as poetryc
by Wallace Stevens. "The Twen-
ties," by Frederick J. Hoffman willy
also be included.

Stage Managing 'Worst' Job
In Theatre, Weaver Says

r

J.-~J, I

Second Semester

v {

By JEAN HARTWIG

Stagemanaging is the "worst job
in the theater," acording to Wil-
liam Weaver, stage manager for
the 1958 Drama Season.
"The stage manager is respon-
sible to both the producer and
director," he continued. "He must
maintain the production level set
by the director and also be aware
that the actors have to create that
level at each performance."
Weaver began his show business
career when a friend asked him to
appear in a small play in his Ohio
hometown. From there he toured
with a stock company in which
he drove the car, packed the truck,
changed the sets and did "practi-
cally everything you can imagine."
Directed Summer Show
After a five-year stint in the
armed services, he returned to
New York where he acted in sev-
eral productions including "Pick-
Up Girl" and "Magnificent Yan-
kee" with Louis Calhern. During
this time he also directed a sum-
mer theater show starring Ann
Harding and ZaSu Pitts.
The "Four Poster," starring
Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn,
was his first experience as a stage

manager. "When Cronyn sold the
New York play and stipulated that
I manage it, whammo! It hit me.
I had never stagemanaged before
in my life."
The cast rehearsed in a YMCA
gymnasium. Director Jose Ferrer
"polished" the action, but "we all
put in our two cents worth or
more," according to Weaver.
Plans Tour
Weaver, who has just finished
directing and acting in a produc-
tion of "Chalk Garden" starring
Judith, Anderson and Kathleen
Nesbit, is now working on a new
script of "Midnight Sun" for the
fall. During the remainder of the
summer he plans to direct Rudy
Vallee on tour with "The Happiest
Millionaire."
In comparing acting with direct-
ing, he said he preferred acting "in
a juicy role," but "with an exciting
play and a stimulating cast, di-
recting is really exciting."
Costs High
Due to the high cost of pro-
duction, Weaver believes the
"theater has a large amount of
commercialism in it now. I don't
know if it's the age or the fact
that we're a comparatively young
nation, but the poor standards of
'bill-paying" television acting are
an example.
"If you are blessed with working
in an 'honest' play, and not a metre
shallow work, the audience will
recognize it," he said. "Audiences
should reject everything else."
Weaver, who will manage the
next production of the Drama
Season, "The Second Man," star-
ring Vicki Cummings and Hurd
Hatfield, concluded his discussion
with "There's nothing as exciting
as a good play."

May 30 to June 10, 1958
For courses having both lectures and recitations the "Time
of Class" is the time of the first lecture period of the week. For
courses having recitation only, the "Time of Class" is the time
of the first recitation period. Certain courses will be examined
at special periods as noted below the regular schedule.
Courses not included in either the regular schedule or the
special periods may use any examination period provided there
is no conflict or provided that, in case of a conflict, the conflict
is resolved by the class which conflicts with the regular schedule.
Degree candidates having a scheduled examination on June
7, 9 and 10 will be given an examination at an earlier date. The
following schedule designates an evening time for each such
examination. The instructor may 4rrange with the student for
an alternate time, with notice to the scheduling committee.'

The new seismograph which wasr
developed at the University's En-
gineering Research Institute was
tested recently to determine its
effectiveness in recording earth-
quakes and other blasts.
Prof. James T. Wilson, chairman
of the geology department, ex-
plained that the seismographs,
were located at several stations}
across the country to record the
non-nuclear blast of 1300 tons of
explosives in Vancouver, British
Columbia, early in April.
The explosives were set off to
clear a shipping channel. Prof.
Wilson declared that the test
provided "inconclusive" results.
The station near Spokane, Wash-
ington, recorded good results but
the other stations got weak shock
waves, he said.
Detects Nevada Blast
These results were "not as good
as expected," he said. Th* seismo-
graph; which is tuned to an above-
normal frequency, had previously
detected an underground atomic
blast at the Nevada testing'
grounds.
This seismograph, which picks
up waves of 100 cycles, while, the
usual machine receives only those
cycles below 30, was developed by
a research team headed by Harry
J. Bugajaski, technician at the
Engineering Research Institute, at
the Acoustics Laboratory of ERI.
In recording the higher fre-
quencies, the researchers are try-
ing to find if these wavea are
produced by earthquakes. Similar
equipment to the new seismograph
has been in use for years, Prof.
Miller explained. It is used by
acoustical engineers to, measure
the amount of sound in a room.
Explosions Test Equipment
The researchers will test their
equipment on any big explosion if
they are informed that it is to
take place, Prof. Miller declared.
Ihe machine itself is "riot an
elaborate piece of equipment," he
said.
"Some of the results obtained
vith this equipment were made
)ublic last fall," he mentioned,
'but only since the nuclear tests
have taken place has general in-
erest been shown in it."
