DR. CARL EBERT (right) directs members o f the cast of "Don Pasquale," Donizetti's comic opera, in preparation for the opening Wednesday night.

Rehearsals Start Today
Comic Opera to Run 3 Days
The two casts of the comic opera, "Don Pasquale,” hold their first dress rehearsal today.
Carl Ebert and Wolfgang Martin, director and conductor of production. have trained two complete casts which they will use alternately. The opera opens Wednesday night in Bovard auditorium. with performances following on Friday and Saturday nights.
This promises to be a thoroughly expert production. Sets and costumes are being made by professional concerns. Appearing in the play are accomplished .singers who have had excellent training and professional experience.
Kalen Kermoyan, who plays the title role, is a big. dark burly fellow of 29, whose looks match his lusty bass. If you should happen in on a rehearsal when he is singing. you'll hear every word clear up to the top of the secon i balcony He seems to have, as much fun with
his voice as a kid with a new bi- i cycle.
A Navy aerial gunner during World War II, Kermoyan has the distinction of having sung in both West Coast premiers of the Benjamin Britten operas, *“P eter Grimes,” in San Francisco, and “Albert Herring." at SC. His experience also includes singing over j NEC and legitimate acting with the Players Ring theater.
Marni Nixon, at 20. is practically an old hand in tne theater. The Norina of the coming opera started acting at the Fasaaena Playhouse at the age of six. She has been singing, acting, and playing (violin) ever since. Her voice has been heard in many a movie, from “The Secret Garden” to “Joan of Arc.” Her radio and Hollywood Bowl appearances are too numerQus to mention.
Miss Nixon was in last fall's Workshop production of “Albert Herring.” and the recent Los Angeles Guild
opera production of ‘ Abduction From the Seraglio.” She is in the current semi-finals of the Atwater Kent auditions. This summer she will travel to Tanglewood, Mass., for the Berkshire Music Festival under tne direction of Serge Kous-sevitsky.
Ted Uppman. the spirited baritone, will give Kermoyan a run for his money. Uppman won the Atwater Kent auditions in 1947 frcm a field of more than 1400 contestants. Since then he has surg major roles in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. His voice also has been heard in reveral movies, including the latest Kathryn Grayson picture.
Other members of the cast are also well known. Asked why they came to SC after such significant professional beginnings, the common ms wer was Carl Ebert, whom they all label the greatest opera director in the world.

Siop-Cappers To Present ichelangelo
Two one-act plays. Oscar Wilde's “Salem?," and “Michelangelo,” an original dramatization by graduate student Jack Gariss, begin a five-day run starting tomorrow night, 8:30, at the Stop-Gap theater, 3730 South Hcover street.
The plays will be produced, staged, acted, and directed by the Experimental theater group of the drama department.
The first play. "Michelangelo," will portray a period in the life of the master after he has become embittered by politics and the jealousy of his fellow artists.
An unusual style of lighting and staging will be employed in the production, creating an unreal* effect. Characters will be dressed in black, and scenery will be blackout to achieve the desired result of space staging. Entrance and exit of the actors will be controlled by means of spotlighting.
“Salome," the second production, was written by Oscar Wilde when he was seeking to save the world from the destruction that would result from its evil practices.
The subject of flagrant immorality is contrasted to the influence of the leading male rcle of John the Baptist.
VEIL DANCE
“The Dance of the Seven Veils" is created for the play by Sherman Martin, who also created the choreography in “Antigone.”
Students of the Experimental theater will star in both produc-t.on~. Edward E?.rle will direct and also play the lead in “Michelangelo.” I The part of Salome will be per- | t rayed by Marion Cassidy.
Tickets for the two Experimental theater productions may be picked up in the drama department office, 3709 South Hoover street, today and tomorrow.

Gevirtz said.
Following one of tlie quietest elections in SC's history, Bob Reynolds. election commission chairman, and Gevirtz gave their recommendations for future balloting to next year’s Senate group.

LACK OF TEETH
Gevirtz pointed out the lack of I “teeth” in the present powers of the election investigating group. He I suggested that in the future the , body should be made independent | of Senate control to avoid any possibility of partiality.

Beta Theta Pi Hosts Nine Chinese Students
Nine Chinese graduate students were dinner guests of Beta Theta Pi fraternity Wednesday evening as part of the fraternity’s program to foster closer relations with campus foreign groups.
The group sailed from China more than a year ago and
UCLA's most beautiful coed had only to hear the amorous voice of an SC student without seeing the rest of him and she was stricken—with mankind’s most exquisite malady, that is.
It all happened when Ray Hunter, Beta Theta Pi. talked his way into the finals cf the Trojan Chest Blind date contest a couple of months ago by describing the purpo*se of the Chest’s drive.
The object of the finals, it seems, was to try to get a blind date with a movie star by giving him or her a “line” through a screen. The most highly-charged voice, naturally, would be the one chosen.
Well, it turned out that the movie star dates failed to show up. In their places came Terrible Terry McGinnis, wrestler, whose wife objected to his having a date in the first place, and luscious Lucky O’Keefe, Hibernian beauty ticaI Plaster who was crowned UCLA’s homecoming queen.
Lucky found Ray’s unseen charms irresistible. Seeing hifoi proved no letdown either because last Monday 'Ray pinned her with his Beta diamond. As a result, Betas are tuning up for a little warbling at the Westwood Pi Phi house tonight.

Founders hall is equipped with all . J 6 .	-
tors degrees in education and en-
new furniture. Many of the classrooms can be reached by a central public address system, collectively or separately.
Each auditorium has 16-mm. movie equipment.
BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL
The new building has been acclaimed by visitors as one of the most beautiful and functional college buildings in the nation. Extensive use is made of glass, ornamental brick work, tile, and pastel colors. Floors are asphalt tile. Ceilings are covered with acoustical tile, and walls of the auditorium and lecture rooms have special acous-
gineering. All received AB degrees in China.
Under communist rule, all Chinese who want to go to school must first have a special “indoctrination'’ course. Now cutoff from their families, Chinese on campus are in
need of summer jobs in order to stay in school.
The association would like an international house established at SC, in view of the large foreign student enrollment. It holds three or four meetings a semester, and recently has had parties with the Wesley club and Chinese students from Pepperdine, UCLA, and LACC.
