CARL EBERT, stage director of "Don Pasquale," shown giving directions to members of the cast. The Opera Workshop production opens Wednesday in Bovard auditorium.
pera Rehearsals nter Final Stage
“Don Pasquale,” the Opera Work-iop production, scheduled to op#n Wednesday has moved into the final |tage of rehearsing with the orches-and singers rehearsing as a unit. The production, under the man-iLgement of the stage direction-con-iuctor team of Carl Ebert and Wolfgang Martin, promises to have professional touch.
Conducting “Don Pasquale" is not iiew experience for Martin, bemuse in 1946, he wit.h Fritz Busch conducted the opera at the Metro-jolitan.
He came to SC in 1948. with Ebert [to establish an opera department. [Since then the two have become a [smooth-working team, often arriv-ling at the same interpreiational |jdeas even when they make inde->endent studies of musical scores.
Martin's conducting experience joes back far enough into his life
as to have made him somewhat of a musical prodigy. He was conducting light opera in Germany at the age of 16. Later, he was coach at the Munich State opera under Bruno Walter, and was a conductor of the Berlin and Vienna State operas.
Following Austria's annexation by the Nazis in 1938 Martin came to this country and later became an American citizen. He was a conductor for the Metropolitan opera from 1944 to 1948.
His conducting at SC. together with Ebert’s direction, prompted the Examiner to say that SC ‘ has asserted itself as a dynamic force in our musical life.”
Tickets for the performances Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8:30 in Bovard auditorium are on sale at the ticket office in the Student Union. Student body bocks will entitle holders to free seats in the second balconv.

A well-directed and capable cast I opened Noel Coward's "Present | Laughter” Wednesday night to a 1 responsive and pleased audience.
| Bill Means was outstanding as the egocentric actor plagled by women. Means was the mainspring | of the play, and was wound up tight enough to carry through the entire show with his energy and ability.
The supporting characters, almost without exception, are good, nazfetffc Ruiek ^ets the pace by running on stage in a robe and najamas and making advances toward the actor.
' Auburn Randy Allen, as a temptress. was tempting. She is so love-that her several muffed lines letracted little from her performance.

similar to Victor Matures.
Wesley DePue as Miss Allen's deceived husband, haa a small part but managed to overact it to death. His blustering, animated theatrics ruined the effect he was striving for.
The most fantastic character in the play is that of a moronic wou:d-be playwright, with a bent for psychology and a passion for the actor. His ludicrous, explosive lines set the audience into bursts of laughter. Dick Attlesey handles this part well. His maniacal laugh and weird mannerisms are uncomfortably convincing.
The play will continue tonight and tomorrow at 8:30 in the Student Union lounge. Tickets are 50 cents.	x /	J
During the week, graduate students have given reports on their research in 22 conferences and before 66 regularly scheduled classes to which visitors were admitted.

seats on the Senate, GUP still is the majority party in the SC legislative mill, according to the report. Wiggins will have slightly lass than two-thirds of the Senate on his side, campaigners said.
LAS RECOUNT One post—that of LAS president —was to be recounted last night. The others were considered cer-j tain.
Jack Shaffer, Unity’s candidate, I lost to the GUP presidential victor j by 138 votes.
I Cal Schmidt, the GUP LAS candidate. was five votes behind Unity's Bill Kennedy after the commissioners completed 1H4 hours of vote-counting in the Senate chambers. A recount was asked.
Unity Campaign Manager Frank O'Sullivan said that if GUP asks for another election to decide the LAS president's post, he will ask for re-balloting for the ASSC presidency, too.
O'Sullivan was bitter about “phony Unity slates” he said were passed out during the election “by the GUP party.” They were, he said, “instrumental in giving Wiggins the 138 ballot lead.”
Bob Padgett, current ASSC president, meanwhile hailed the Unity showing in the senatorial elections as the strongest yet—11 or 12 votes. This, he said, is enough to block two-thirds vote maneuvers by the Senate's majority party.
GUP said that it was a close race, but that a close race had been anticipated.
“There were several offices which we knew were going to be very close.” said GUP Manager Gwinn Henry. “We were prepared to lose several seats.”
RAMIREZ WINS Unity won the AMS presidential post with Louis Ramirez, who tallied more than 400 votes more than his opponent. Doug Morgan. Unity's Allen A. Arthur took the veterans’ representative post, and Unity-en-dorsed Merilyn Wolf won the ASSC vice-presidency over Bingo

Only case where the unaccounted-for ballots were important, he said, was in the LAS count, where seven Mari ballots were missing and the lead was only five votes.
The commission called a vote-
