Curtain rises at 8:00 Thursday for Drama's mythology satire Theater-goers will see a spectacle of more than several aspects when THE WARRIOR'S HUSBAND plays Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and December 7, 8, and 9 in P- 33, the Drama Lab. The curtain will rise at 8:00 p.m. The play, a lampoon by Julian Thompson, pits Hercules and his band of Greeks against the awesome legions of the Amazons in a version of the myth turned so topsy turvey that the aneient men of Helespont probably couldn't even recognize it. Viewers will understand why, then, at the beginning alone they discover that the elders of Ponteus, the kingdom of the Amazons, are tinkering with the idea of pushing men's rights, and that Hercules is a towering, but cowering chicken, and Heather Hodson, freshman from Valley Center, has been named Queen of the 1966 Basketball Tournament to be held at Palomar this week.

Homer is a shrewd public relations man. Tl)e costuming and stage props for this spoof of the ancients and the sexes in general, promises to be a delight to the eye, as well as a display of authenticity. The costumes of velvets and terry cloth have a color span from metallic greens, to golds, and to hues of regal red and blue. These creations are the work of Kellie Eiland, aided by the females of the cast. The theater in the round will be furnished with careful facsimiles of the period's furniture. The furniture, as well as the elaborate arms and armor of the opposing armies, were created by lighting and sound technician and lab assistant Larry Hunter's woodworking crew drawn from cast members.
Forum attracts few for dra.ft discussion Fifteen to twenty students attended the third Forum session, held in F- 22 Wednesday noon. There was no official speaker with Mark Violet acting as moderator. The topic for this month's discussion was the draft. The conversation centered around the fairness of the draft with opinion being split on this subject. Only one female¡ attended the meeting, a woman whose son had been drafted. The other members of the Forum were all young male students ranging from one who had just recieved his induction notice to those who were completely behind the idea of the draft. Surprisingly, there were reportedly no veterans of the armed services at the meeting.
