Wilder Comedy Set For Bovard Stage
Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth.” a comedy which left audiences "bewildered’’ when it was first presented 15 years ago, but which has since scored hits on stages throughout the world, will be presented by the drama department in Bovard Auditorium May 7 through 11.
The comedy, with tragic over- . tones, will begin at 8:30 p.m.
ALL HOKUM'
each evening ol its five-day run. General admission is 51. Students who hold activity books will be admitted free.
Audience* Bewildered
"When the play was first done ln 1942. audiences were bewildered some left the theater indig-nate," said Gretchen Kanne, who plays the eternal temptress. Sabina. “Since the production di-picts mankind's struggle from the ice-age to the present, with its conflicts and wars, people were not ready for the play in 1941’. Now audiences have perspective and can understand it."
Heavy Rehearsal Schedule
The cast has been rehearsing nightly and on weekends. "They will he ready for the first curtain Tuesday.” Bill White, production manager, said. “The difficulty now is for the perlorm-ers to keep up the pace and tempo of the show. Sometimes t h e y are required to change from pathos to farce within a single speech."
White said that “the play has a universal theme. It takes in the whole scope of the human race.”
Wilder Satirizes Everything
Not only does Wilder satirize ihe fable of American domesticity. but he satirizes the medium of the theater itself. At various points actors step out of character to address the audience in person.
At other points Wilder satirizes the literary style of the old-fashioned theater by hackneyed melodrama.
Besides Miss Kanne. other leading roles will be filled by Carol Daniels and Kathv Combs.
Miss Combs feels that “Wilder on television starring Mary Mar-
tells his story in a picture-book style, which should be comprehensible to virtually every thea-ter-goer ”
Veteran of Theater The production is being designed and directed by John E. Blankenchip.
“The Skin of Our Teeth” remains a jest at the world,” Blankenchip contends, “the play is without parallel in our literature of the stage.”
Blinn Sneers At Angeloff Endorsement
Bruce Blinn, candidate for yell king, expressed his contempt for the statements made by present Yell King Dann Angeloff in an article that appeared in yesterday’s DT. The story quoted Angeloff, who endorsed Bob Hokom as the man to succeed him.
Blinn contended that statements in the article referred to him. and he felt he had a right to clarify them.
In reference to Angeloff’s comment that “Bob is a member of the School of International Relations Council and has earned a 3.2 grade point,” Blinn said his grade point average was a safe 3.0.
Grade Point Stressed
He said Angeloff stresses the importance of grade point averages to prevent the yell king from finding himself ineligible at mid-semester. There *is no possibility of my becoming ineligible because of grades. I have never gone below a 2.00.
“Angeloff also referred to Ho-kom’s position on the IR Council hy pointing to his experience, but I've had many more activities than he's had,” Blinn added. Freshman Nomination Blinn was a member of the Junior Class Council. Knights. AMS Council and a member of We re ourselves. And if any man the pie-throvv committee, can find one of us. he'll learn In regards to Angeloff’s state-why the whole universe was set ! ment that Hokom was the best
qualified candidate, Blinn said, “I was nominated by the selections committee in my freshman year to run for yell king. But I declined because I wanted to become more familiar with the school before I tried for such an important position."
“I was also a cheerleader in high school and acted as cheerleader at one of the Frosh football games,” Blinn said.

Ross to Talk At Bovard Sunday
Adventurous Religion Topic Of Well-Known SC Theologist
Dr. Floyd H. Ross, professor of world religions in the School of Theology, will speak on “Adventurous Religion"the Sunday Worship Serv ice May 5.
The nondenomination service Is open to the public.
"There are two kinds of religion that have always been followed by two kinds of people," Ross says.
One Type
"One kind is the religion of security. Through this kind tbe worshipper seeks to find insurance against insecurity. This is the conservative tendency in people; it tends to focus on the past—an idealized past, always— and then projects its dream of that past into the future. Too many people today are seeking religion only in this dimension-
"There is another kind of religion that regards life as an ad venture and a pilgrimage. Th kind of religion gladly accept the wisdom of insecurity, the in security of a life where nothing truly important can be insured, and where the reality of death is accepted without fear.” he contends.
Inner Strength
"Adventurous religion doesn't supply the answers, but it can provide a sense of direction and orientation — an inner strength which enables one to face life's problems with a deeper clarity of Vision,” Ross feels.
“Adventtr. ous religion is a call to an explication. It offers no ‘social security’ at any deli nite age. But it olfers each person
