OLD MAN — French Tichner portrays the lead role in s the drama department-sponsored "Matchmaker" that will open in Bovard Auditorium Friday night at 8:30.
He describes his part as that of a "boisterous old man."
Star Portrays Role As Loud Old Man'
French Tichner s interpretation of Horace Vandergelder, lead character in this week’s drama department production of Thornton Wilder's “The Matchmaker,”is that of a boisterous old man, typical of the 19th century.
"Vandergelder is self-righteous and sure of himself for no apparent reason — a typical male of the period.” Tichner said. “A sort of Clarence Day — in a better script — he demands complete obedience, whether he is right or wrong.”
Tichner, a student and lecturer in drama, will star in
Men Accept Top Honors At Program
Awards were received by five university administrators, faculty and students at the sixth annual dinner of Commerce Associates, support group ror tne Graduate School of Business Administration, last week.
Receiving honors at the Bilt-more Hotel were Dr. Kenneth Trefftzs, head of the department of finance and real estate; Jerome H. Craig, undergraduate student; and Herbert E. Kjerluff. graduate student.
Top Faculty Man
Special recognition was given to Trustee H. Leslie Hoffman
the production, which debuts this Friday at 8:30 p.m. in Bovard Auditorium. Subsequent performances are scheduled for March 23, 28, 29 and 30.
“When I first read the play, I got the idea Vandergelder, a rich old merchant of Yonkers, started at a dead shout and got louder,” he said. “I have come to understand the part a bit better. The character might even be a bit likeable.” The loud old merchant says a lot of things he doesn’t mean to say, to make a point, Tichner asserted. "Underneath that rough exterior, he’s got some compassion though.”
The actor gave, as an example. Vandergelder’s concern for the future of his neice. He refuses to allow her to marry an artist, but takes the trouble to try and find her a “suitable mate.”
Tiny Bit
Vandergelder lets a tiny, tiny bit of his real self be seen” when he talks of his dead wife, Tichner continued.
“Although he generally speaks of woman-kind with frivolity, underneath, I think, he has a real admiration for it,” the lead player explained. “He breaks when he talks about his wife dying, but jumps right back again to his hard self.” Tichner said he wants to take on the character that Wilder intended the old man to be.
“Too many young people,” he complained,” so influenced by the cinema and television, play themselves doing a charac-
Willard Marsh, assistant professor of English will discuss “the fresh rhythmical prose” of Dylan Marlais Thomas during the English department’s Reading at Noon today at 12:30 in 133 FH.
Marsh will read selections from Thomas’ “Quite Early One Morning.” He selected this work because “it demonstrates Thomas’ ability to WTite excellent prose using a fresh approach and employing many technical ingenuities.”
Many People
“Many people are familiar with Thomas’ poetry but they are unfamiliar with his prose,” Marsh said.
Thomas was a sensitive writer who was terribly irresponsible in his personal life, Marsh said.
“However, he was very responsible and particular in his literary writing,” he added.
The Welsh poet was bom in Swansea in 1914. He worked in journalism during his early life and published “Twenty-Five Poems” at the age of 22.
Radio Script From 1944 he worked intermittently on a radio script about a Welsh seaside village. This script was called “Quite Early One Morning,” when it appeared in its first form. Thomas later expanded it into “Under Milk Wood,” urhich was published in 1954.
Until the appearance of this work, Thomas had only been known as a poet. "In the work Thomas proves that he is just as excellent in prose as he is in poetry',” according to Marsh.
“Many critics have praised his striking rhythms, his original imagery and his outstanding technique,” Marsh said.
aid high schools through transitional period.
As part of the study, he is examining the results of a staff-utilization program he designed for individual schools in Southern California’s Centinela Union School District.
There are too many carryovers from a farm society that damage efficiency of high schools serving an urban population, Dr. Georgiades maintains.
“Even our calendar schedules are dictated by the society of the early century, when children were needed to help with planting and harvesting,” Dr. Georgiades said.
“Now that most of them live in the cities it is no longer useful or wise to let them run loose all summer,” he adds. Ideas Suggested Team teaching, the use of aides to relieve the teacher of bookkeeping and routine functions, use of mechanical teaching devices and flexible scheduling are some of the ideas suggested by Dr. Georgiades.
Flexible daily periods is another idea forwarded by Dr. Georgiades in his experimental program.
“There is cause to believe that shorter periods would be more effective in some areas of learning, while longer periods would be beneficial in others,” he reports.
Shorter History “A 30-minute history class would give enough time for the brighter ones to learn what is required for that session and would not. over-reach the attention span of slower students,” Dr. Georgiades said. He points out that although the new ideas carry many benefits, there are also flaws.
For instance, team teaching may reinforce the weaknesses and strengths of two teachers but it creates the problems of conflicting philosophies and overly large lecture sections.
"Also, students may try to turn one teacher against another to obtain easier grades,” he adds.

Poison prevention through education will be the mission this week of the campus chapter of the American Pharmacy Association and student teach ers attending the university, association President John Levenberg said Friday.
Student teachers will assign children in their classes to design posters illustrating the need for care in preventing accidental poisoning.
Levenberg visited an elementary class recently in which the pupils had already begun their projects. He said each of them seemed to be enjoying the work and contended that this will prove to be an effective part of the campaign.
The students will also be required to write a letter to their parents telling of the day’s activities, he explained.
Campus Displays Displays designed to promote recognition of poison dangers will be placed at various places around the campus, Levenberg said. They will be placed in showcases in Founders Hall, the pharmacy dispensary and in the Pharmacy School.
KNX radio has agreed to make public service announcements regarding “Poison Prevention Week” at various times during the day, Levenberg said.
Announcements might be

and sisters have caused many of the 500,000 yearly deaths of children due to poisoning, Levenberg added.
He listed causes as improper storage; poison within reach of children; improper handling, such as pouring turpentine into cups or bottles; and discarding containers of poisonous materials within access of chil dren.
“We hope to bring all this to light during the week,” he
said.
Toxic Labels Levenberg noted that two recent steps have been taken by the federal government to lessen the danger.
The Hazardous Substances Labeling Act of 1960 establishes uniform itandards for labeling of toxia substance*, Congress, acting upon the request of President Kennedy, recently passed a bill creating Poison Prevention Week, Lev enberg noted.
The pharmacy major suggested that medicine not be taken in the presence of impressionable children. He said they seem to want to copy all that they see done by those they respect.
The week-long activities will be supervised by members of the American Pharmacy Association’s campus chapter. The national association is overseeing the nationwide sponsorship of the National Poison Prevention Week.

Businessmen in the United States would do well to make person-to-person business arrangements with citizens of Common Market countries, a USC trustee said Friday.
Speaking before a world market conference at the Bilt-more Hotel, Robert A. Hornby, who also is a gas utility executive, said Europeans in the Common Market are anxious to buy a number of higher-priced American goods. He added that businessmen here need not drag their heels by following the leadership of government.
