Vll wpoiPAGE 2 THE MERCIAD FEBRUARYS 1978'Becket' ReviewProven To Be Professional Production

By Darlene KeithAfter hearing some time ago that the play Becket wasgoing to be performed at Mercyhurst, I thought that theywould never pull it off, that i s , Dr. Gary Smith and the Mercyhurst students. J Beckett i s a highly sophisticated an deducated play. I t would never lure an audience large enoughor be performed as it should.That's where I was wrong. IOpening Saturday night at the Little Theater, it w asalmost instantly recognized a s a purely professional performance. This was noticed from the costumes, to the effective lighting, t o the acting abilities of t h e cast, gjyg *Although most of the actors played out the roles nicely,there were those few who seemed to tower over the others.Perhaps the others only looked so well because of these few.One of these towering actors was Glen Hollenbach. Therole of France's o n e a n d only King Louie is a difficult part toplay even 1 adequately.? Bu t Hollenbach performedadequatelyand much more. f r 3 I I *? Another is the tremendously talented Tom McDermott.Playing the role of King Henry II, both the good and badtraits are extremely challenging. Buttocarry it off so welland so realistically wa s almost unbelievable. |McDermott has been seen in many of t h e Little Theater's

productions and I hope to see him in many more. Whoknows. We may be seeing him on a professional stagesomeday. * I | || We must not forget the play's namesake, Beck et. This rolewas played believably well by actor Dav e Winston. $ SBesides needing talented people to portray the charaters,there is also a nee d for realistic set s and proper lighting andcostuming. These were all carried out quite ^well, with aspecial recognition going to Maxine Krasnowski for herimaginative set. Gail Hess should also be mentioned for herelegant costumes. * l g { i j J jL As was said before, the play was executed nicely. Therewas only one exception. There was almost no movement onthe stage. The actors were delivering their emotion filledlines, but in many case s their bodies didn't correspond. Thiswas the only major downfall of Becket. * 7| Even though th e Mercyhurst Little Theater * is purelyamateur, it has the makings of a top quality theater. All itneeds is s ome additional practice. , i8 With a few more performances like Becket, Mercyhurstwill be known as the 'theateron the hill.'

He then wenton to complete bis master'sdegree in Elementary Educationat Edinboro State College.libra, formerly an elementaryteacher, began his career atMercyhurst in 1966. Originally,Libra was to stay only one yearunder a teaching fellowshipgranted to him by the institution."I accepted the offer because Ithough it would be a meaningfulexperience,'' explained libra.Obviously it' was more thanmeaningful. "' " vFor it was then that Libradecided to stay with the schoolone more year. However, that"one more year" has turned intoquite a few years."I can't explain what it is thatkeeps me here because I'vealways wanted to return to theelementary school's classrooms.But," he continued, "it must besomething good. I can't seem topull myself away from Mercyhurst." / >Libra then went on to compareMercyhurst as it was 11 years agoas it is tod ay.. He began bysaying, "It was a tightly knit,non-coeducational, family typeschool. People spent hourstalking to each other.""Many times I found myselfstaying well after hours justtalking to someone. That kind ofthing doesn't happen muchanymore. In some ways, it was abetter school.""It provided women with theopportunity to assert much moreleadership. However, on thewhole, it is definitely much moresuccessful as a coeducationalinstitution." m S & my "Mercyhurst compared toschools in the immediate locale is

Peter Libraas good as any and in many areasis much better," stated libra.He backed this up by sayingthat this is the feedback he hasreceived from many ; peopleoutside the school "80 per cent ofthe graduates here in theElementary Education Department alone have been placed,"stated Libra. "This is extremelygood considering' that theteaching field is Ioverburdened. Wevery fortunate,Libra. ?= ; When asked his opinion of theCooperative Education Program ,Libra remarked. p

"I don't see how we can fit in.Cooperative Education is not onlyallowing students to experience,but it is also paying them. I don'tforesee any school district payingthe student teachers." T

At 5 a.m. everyone boarded anold school bus narked just offthe main road. Zero weatherpushing that same bus in an effort to start C it. What kepteveryone from frostbite as we

waited for other vehicles remainsa mystery. } T ? ?We saw Washington! that afternoon despite a stuck car, a flattire and a broken water hose.:As we marched with wet feet upCapitol Hill we .could see thehundreds of signs held by peopleof all ages. There seemed to be anundeclared contest to find themost unique slogan.Although the march has beenheld every year for the past fiveyears since a Supreme Courtdecision in favor of abortion, thesigns have changed with thetimes. Most obvious was 'Jimmy,Save Our Little Peanuts'.With the rally over, the YPWCgroup paid a J visit to I theircongressman to vocalize theirviews. Then came the five hourride home to the center with som egoing even further. For the people from the center,to say the trio was a success is

probably an understatement. Itwas an experience of good andbad not soon to be forgotten../'For Mary Beth it was the joy ofringing a cowbell in support of aspeech. For Lorraine, it was thefrustration of a stalled bus. ForCarolyn it was seeing friendsfrom home, who had come tosupport life.

For Chris it was feet that w erefinally warm and toes that couldbe wiggled.

WyR.F.I, also occurs when a C.B.user adds.a little "hamburgerhelper" (amplifier) to increasehis power from the watt limit to25, 50, as much as 1,000 watts. 1How does the stereo owner inthe city cope g with the evermounting C.B. messages sent to
