During '

    spring production scheduled at 'hurstOn Ap ril 28, 29, and 30, the ent roles.

    Mercyhurst College Greensleeve]Players will present Beggar onHorseback, a farciall satire byGeorge S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. Produced on *Broadway in1924, Beggar on Horseback is written in the tradition of the Expressionist theatre of JStrindberg'sDream Play.

    Impressions formed during arealistic scene in the f irst act aretransformed, amplified, an d distort,ed in a young composer 's nightmare. This dreamfc sequence is thevehicle through which almost everyaspect of modern life sis satirized.Staging, costuming, and dialogueare other tools of sa tire in theplay. The staging and costuming

    " The young composer, Neil McR-Rae, is portrayed by Mr. MichaelBacon, a member of the faculty ofGannon College. Although Neilaspires to write classical music, healso suffers f rom an extreme ar

    eas . i .38 . . . T" .are instrumental in satir iz ing modern music, dance, and dress. Whilerepititious dialogue * serves as #ademonstration of conformity of expression in the modern world, th esimultaneous dialogue in the playcreates a Tower, of Babel effectto emphasize the lack of communication in our society.The portrayal of the major characters is greatly exaggeratedthroughout the entire play. An example of this exaggeration is thefact that each one of the charactersis continually appearing in differ-

    tistic temperament.Neil's two friends are Cynthia

    Mason and >Doctor Albert Rice.Cynthia, played by Linda Brooks, aMercyhurst freshman, is an extremely practical gir l who appearsto love Neil only for his promisingcareer as a composer. Doctor Riceregards the young composer not asa friend but as an obstacle tosh isown winning of Synthia 's affections. %ti The members of the wealthyCady family are equally importantto the development of satire in the"ptfcyf^Iatfys Cady, portrayei"*byfreshman Vickie Malinowski, is afrivolous girl with a passionate lovefor dancing and an affection forNeil based only on his art. She iseager to become engaged only because this is "the thing to do."Sherry Huff, another f reshman,plays Mrs. Cady. This woman hasno interest in music and is thetypical wife and mother concernedonly with finding a husband for he rdaughter .folk singer, alan lomaxhosted by cultural series

    Alan Lomax, the foremost collector of folk songs in the?worldsays, "Collecting folk songs is morethan a vocation or avocation to meits a way of life." His life hasbeen spent in the pursuit of thisgoal: "to put modern sound technology at the service of the littlepeople and the voiceless culturesof the world." Our own little worldwa s brightened! by Mr. Lomaxwhen he appeared at the GannonCollege Theater on April;8. Hisdiscussion of his activities and hisperformance of some of his favorit e folk songs enriched our appreciation for t he folk song revivalwhich he began in this country.Through each of his 100-odd

    Alan Lomax

    phonograph records, Alan Lomaxhas moved progressively forwardin his chosen work. When takenas a whole, these records surveythe folk music styles of half theworld. His service also extendsinto the twelve fbooks which hehas compiled on folk songs.From 1933 to 1942, Mr. Lomaxworked with his father in buildingthe Congress Archive of AmericanFolk Song. While they were -incharge of $ this enterprise, 10,000recorded fo lk songs* wer e added,making the collection the largest ofits kind in the world. In additionto his numerous other activities,Mr. Lomax was responsible! fo rintroducing Burl Ives amongothers, to the American public.Following his departure fromgovernment service in 1942, J AlanLomax worked in documentaryradio and films for a time. Later ,he produced two ballad operas anda folk musical in England. In 1946his "Folk iSong '59" was presentedin the New York Town Hall amidhigh praise .

    f A former Director of Folk Musicfor Decca Records, Lomax is nowTrustee and Director of ^ArtisticEvents for the Ster ling Forest FolkSong Festival Foundation in NewYork, and he is working on laproject for th e Rockefeller Founda-tion mapping the folk song families of the world. s

    Mr. Cady, portrayed by RichardConnolly, an art student at Mercyhurst, typifies the successful American businessman. He is a loud,bluster ing man who seems to havestumbled quite accidentally intosuccess in the business world. Unlike his}-wife, Mr. Cady does carefor music, but only when it can betransformed into a successful business enterpr ise .The final member of the Cadyfamily i s Gladys* young er sis ter,Dorothy.

    to activity. # UtaltiRtatfiContemplation must be a "playful" wondering of the imagination,but the process is not really activity, fRather, the mind is idle, and thesenses \ and emo tions, in^ contactwith reality, telegraph the code ofexternals to the intellect-receiver.The process is a surrender of thehuman will. *Kerri explains tha t "we havegiven | in to the impulse to s tay,to do nothing, to let happiness happen if such be our good fortune."As ant example, a p oet does notbegin with a determination to makea poem. He cannot create until hehis idled, and in the act of idling,

    grintch vs. the peopleby Paige Proser

    Al l was stil l in the wide corr idor just beyond the courtroom. Theonly noise that disturbed the tomblike quiet was the rhythmic tickin g of an ancient grandfather clock.Suddenly, asVif on cue, fifty re porters swarmed into the , hallarmed with ?t $ck notebooks andlarge | cameras. Flashbulbs poppeda s two determined-looking policemen escorted af haggard-lookingm an to the courtroom door.^*Theman's bloodshot eyes searched thecrowd for a sympathetic face, butfound none. He wearily loweredhis eyes and allowed himself to beled into:the courtroom. A hushedsilence fell over the crowd as hepainfully lowered himself into thedefendant's chair. He rose dutifullyas the Judge came in and routinecourtroom preliminaries took place.After two almost unbearable minutes, he sank limply to his seat. Hevaguely heard someone announcet h a t the case of Grintch vs. thePeople had begun.

    His eyes slowly circled thecourtroom and came to r e s t on theju ry . He was struck by the realization that they'd a lready judgedhim. He shifted his gaze to thetable at his r igh t and shudderedvisibly. There it was, the " ins t ru

    ment of death"a gleaming silverletter opener engraved with a familiar H. He screamed inwardly ashe thought of his wife lying twisted on the floor, her t r us t ing cfish face contorted in a half-finishedscream . . .Everything was \ aga ins t him t iming, motive, and evidence. Heha d no witnesses, no one to verify his alibi. He knew he was a condemned man; he'd given up hopeafter his second appeal. There wasno comfort for him enywhere except in his memories, and sometimes even they seem distant andhidden$ by the veil of t ime. Buttodaytoday he remembered. Heremembered that day two longyea r s ago. He remembered thathe'd quarreled with his wife, thathe 'd slammed the apartment dooras he left. He remembered that hisneighbors had heard . . . f l jHis best friends testified againsthim. His best friends who'd playedbridge with Helen and him on Sa t urday % nigh ts . His best friendswho'd gone skiing with them twoweeks before. MHe remembered that he'd walkedfo r an hour, all the t ime wanting

    to go back to her and tell her howsorry he was, how he needed her,ho w he loved her. He rememberdt h a t he finally did swallow all t h a tmanful pride of his. He remembered how they'd laughed about thewhole incident, how they'd forgotte n it in such a short t ime. He remembered how delighted she'dbeen wi th | the l i t t l e p r e sen t he'dbought her because she'd cut herfinger opening the telephone billjus t the day before . . .The clerk in the silver shop testified that Grintch had bought thele tter opener the day before themurder .He remembered \ tha t he'd goneout that night to get something forHelen's cold.

    original grintches and nurdsI |b y Charlene Kienholz

    We now know that a person canbe either a grintch or a nurd ; butfrom where does this idea origina te? I was told that years ago,deep in the nomadic lands ofArabia, there existed two neighborly tr ibes known as the Grintchesand Kurds. They inhabited theWeagle Oasis, named af ter theirprudent ruler , King Wegle . Theirlife together was always serene,until one day their Weather Council predicted a dreadful sandstormthat would be strong enough to destroy their entire settlement, unlessprotective measures were taken.Immediate ly, the king sent bids outto the two tr ibes, requesting estima te s for the building of a massivewall that would encircle the entireoasis. Since both the Grintches andNurds returned^ estimates of thesame rvalue, (30,000 Weagl ands) ,the king had no choice, but to hirethem both. The Grintches were tobuild the r ight side of the wall,an d the Nurds , the left side.The efficient Grintches gathereddurable mater ia ls, and carefullyplanned the construction of\ theirportion of the wall. On the otherhand, the less energetic | Nurdsgrabbed handy mater ia ls, and without much contemplation, beganpiling up their mixture in the formof a wall. When the day before thepredicted sandstorm had arr ived,help, help. I loved her so much."Hi s frail body racked with sobs, hegathered all the s t r eng th tha t wasleft in him and! grabbed for thele tter opener . With one last pitifulcr y of "Helen,"* he plunged thel e t te r Jopener into his heavingchest.

    Once more the flashbulbs poppeda s Grintch's body wa s removedfrom the courtroom. Ast ih estre tch-er disappeared down the corridor,the reporters scurr ied off in all directions.The clock ticked on.local hamoperator has internatioal hobby

    M r. Leo Weiner, fa ther of Lorraine, a freshman, is quite a"bam" W t %This might seem like a r a the rinsulting remark, but to Mr. Weiner it is not. Over the past years, hehas grown accustomed to this nickname'for "amateur radio operators," since he is among those menand women who operate pr ivate ,short-wave radio stations as ahobby.

    By means of Morse code or direct";conversation, hams communicate with each other in all pa r tsof the world. Since he received hislicense at the age of eighteen, Mr.Weiner has ta lked with sta tions asfaraway as Australia and Japan .Once he even contacted a man on afloating iceberg in the arctic . Butin the last four years, his interesthas turned to | American stationsthrough the National Traffic System.According to Mr, Weiner, j thisnational organization of hamssends short messages for peopleacross the j country by radio. Bymeans of an organized relay system, hams radio these messagesfrom station to station until theyreach the city of their destination.Here a local ham delivers them by

    telephone.Sending such radiog rams is easyfo r the public. One need only contact a ham and tell him {the message he wishes to send, along withhis name and address, those of therecipient, and his phone number ifknown. Hams will radio jsimplegreetings of twenty-five^words orless anywhere in the United Statesor to our servicemen abroad with

    out charge. These messages, however, should not be so importantas to war ran t a telegram or telephone call. One suitable examplewould be: "Hi there! Hope you arefine. Everyone here has springfever, but Diane has a cold. Seeyou soon. Keep sm iling!" Oth er

    the Grintches had completed theirta sk . The Nurds, though, had become desperate, because they always postponed their work untilthe next day, accomplishingnothing. The Grintches took quickaction, replacing the .Nurd's un-s turdy, half-built wall with thesame hardy mixture they used inbuilding their half. Not sparing aminute , the Grintches cemented andsmoothed, : and cemented andsmoothed, until an entire wall encircled the oasis. That night, sureenough, a husky, sand-filled windbegan to chisel at th e 1 wall, but itnever succeeded to shape a hole ora break in it. By sunrise the nextmorning, the worst of the stormhad passed, and soon people had begu n to assemble around KingWeagle's royal tent, fThe king emerged from the entrance of his ten t , and gave a stimulating apeech,! honoring theGrintch tr ibe . Prom that day on,King Weagle greatly respected theGrintches, while he hardly trustedthe Nurds . In fact, this storyspread throughout the | country,where a legend soon developed accounting the good deeds of theGrintches, and the inferior deedsof the Nurds . It has even beenpassed on to our generation, because some of us today still referto a desirable person as a grintch,while to a less desirable person asa nurd.An Adventure of ocronk and a yapoonby|Mary Grace Cross

    A cronk and a yapoon have manysimilar ities, a surprising fact whenyou consider the vast differences intheir backgrounds. Both are chubby, about four feet ta ll , and closelyresemble an Ir ish leprechaun. Theirlanguages are closely related andconsist of short, staccato syllables,which when spoken sound verymuch like a record album? beingplayed at the 78 speed.Of course, since the cronk andthe yapoon come from entirely different planets there fare bound tobe a few differences between them.Th e cronk/ born and ra ised onMars, has found?the principles ofhis Martian ancestors to be quiterewarding, while the yapoon, anative of Pluto, is equally satisfied with the more liberal ideas ofthe Plutonians. The means of t r ans portation employed by each is another obvious difference. The han-doo (the Martian word for auto-
