Four 'papa is All' performances scheduled for busy weekend •Papa is All," a comedy of a Dutch Memmn1te family witl be presented again Thursday, Friday and Saturday af- 8p.m. All ·performances, including a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m., will be in the drama lab, P-33. Admission is 75 cents for students and $1.50 for all others. The play centers around the Aukemps, especially around Jake and Emma. Jake, played alternately by Greg Krueger and Robert Hutchings, is a slow witted young man who is virtually enslaved by his tyrannical father. Emma , played by Danielle Corn and Adele Wolfer, seeks companionship from the outside world in the person of a young surveyor who is working on a highway project near t he Aukemp home. Jake disposes of Papa annd then invents a· story to explain the disapPear-
ance. Papa, he· says, is all; killed in a train wreck wheri a freight train hits the side of their "Ford car." Emma suspects ·Jake of killing Papa and using the story to cover up the crime. Mama is too happy to care much. "I ,s care myself sometimes," says Mama, played in turn by Angela Richards, "because I forget to mourn at all sometimes." Mrs. Yoder, the meddling neighbor who knows all the gossip, continues to plague the Aukemp household and to spread the word of Papa's "death." State tooper Brendel finally gets the true story as to what happened.Jake didn't really kill Papa, just got rid of him by giving him a non-expense payed trip on a freight train away from Lancaster county. Inevitably, after three days of happiness when new gadgets are installed and flowers gaily color the bleak house-
hold, Papa returns. He reaps vengence upon Em ma' s boyfriend for taking her t o a movie without his permission. State trooper Br endel saves the day for the Aukemps, in the end. Presented in the style of theater in the round the play is highlighted by a remarkable set, realistically recreating the emptiness of Mennonite life. Under the direction of Norman Gaskins' theater crew, even the water pump works and actually pumps water when Mama opens the play. Use of light and audio effect surprised many of the opening night's audience. a gravel runway leading to the front porch creates the effect of someone approching on foot, then stepping onto the wooden porch. As day fades to evening, the lights dim from bright yellow to amber, to soft blue and back to bright white lights as oil lamps are lit.

Snyder: inan mrnt cure his phoniness' By Joe Wu •In the beginning, man eliminated his waste in his tracks, ate that which was available raw, used animal skins or another human being as warmth, and reproduced once or twice a year as controlled l!Jy the sun's aurora borealis," stated Wade Snyder. Snyder; biology and zoology instructor here, spoke last Thursday night at the facultv lecture series. His topic was "Survival in a Changing Society." "Today man eliminates in $14,000 bathrooms and eats gourmet foods like filet mignon that cannot be distinguished by the· stomach from hamburger of meat loaf, "compared Snyder. "During the Vic:.. tori~ era, dresses were floor length to keep women warm , but today, clothes are more or less a status symbol which serves no physical purpose which is pretty phony," emphasized Snyder. The $14,000 bathrooms are a part of $300, 000 homes that he had seen for sale on television that evening. The homes
are located in Colony Park, Florida. "But no matter what the circumstance is, man today is phony. He may call ·himself anything. but he is an animal first in 99 .999 per cent of his activities," declared Snyder. "Man and his society can cure this phoniness by not trying to change the world, rather to make better than which is bad: the millions of hungry and illiterate peoples in the world," Snyder said. The lecture was the first of the spring semester coomunity services program headed by Theodore Kilman, dean of adult and community services. Snyder received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from San Diego State. Jack Quintero, instructor in English, will be the next faculty lecture series ·speaker. His topic will be "Not Losing One's Cool on the Younger Generation. • The .talk will be given at 7 p.Ir). in C-5 on Thursday, February 29.
Discussion on the first public presentation on drug usage wilf continue at the Controversial Drugs Committee tomorrow. The committee will meet at 11 a.m. in A-72. Plans for the meeting include a report on communication resulting from contacting prospective sJfeakers, and the possible previewing of several films. Also, a date for the first presentation will be chosen. A speaker-film program was decided to be the most beneficial for the general informative program. The topic will be the medical view of drug usage. "We want a fairly objective perso who can field questions and answer them," e:l£Plained Theodore ~ilman, dean ofadult education and community services and one of three co-chairmen of the committee. Preliminary groundplans for the series were made last semester. It was decided to organize the series with a medical view firstly, legal view secondly and a third session for the purpose of presenting supplementary materials gathered by the main committee. Other business at last Wednesday's meeting included combining the Agenda and Program committees into one for better organization.
A resignation submitted by former YR vice-president Steve Krueger was accepted last week. "Two people are being considered " for the vice-presidency, "Ashcraft said. "These people will be voted on in executive session Wednesday. The decision of the executive board then goes to the club on Friday to be voted upon for approval, " added Ashcraft. "Krueger's resignation was accepted as stated in the letter and for no other reason." continued Ashcraft. "There is no way of keeping someone in who wants out. " · Ashcraft said I<rueger's letter stated he no longer had time to fulfill his office as vice-president. The Telescope was permitted to see the said letter. In the letter, Krueger listed one of his time-consuming duties as his obligation to work on the Telescope. (Krueger is an assistant page editor for the Telescope.) Krueger, on the other hand, made several charges against the YR president and the manner in which the club has been run. Last week when Krueger submitted his resignation, he said "the club treasury contained around $200 at the beginning of the year, but now we only have nine dollars." Krueger charged Ashcraft with "killing our membership, not to mention our treasury." Ashcraft said last week that "we only had $100 in the treasury when I took over." He later added that "there is now $19 in the treasury and $28 of petty cash which the treasurer keeps with him. This makes $47." Records from the business office for the YR's show that a balance of $100.92 was carried over from July 1, 1967, which is the beginning of the fiscal year for this school year. The present
balance recorded by the business office is $19.47. Ashcraft remarked that the "money has gone to dues to the county, for club expenses, stamps, stationary, and other miscellaneous expenses which are all accounted for. The advisor has to sign all checks. (Dr. Beauford Chambless is the current YR advisor.) Dr. Chambless watches the way I spend money very closely," Ashcraft remarked. The business office lists the expenditures for the club. A $21 check was made to Bob Thoreson for campaign funds for the office of San Diego County Young Republican vice-president. The authorization slip was signed by Dr. Chambless and Ashcraft. A second check was written to Jess Ashcraft for $45.45. This money covered club registration for the county. pictures of Jack McDonald, stamps and stationary. (McDonald is the National Chairman of Young Republicans. He was flown by helicopter to Palomar last semester to give a speech here.) This authorization was signed by Dr. Chambless and YR treasurer Loren Bailey~ On January 17 a $15 check is listed as being written to petty cash. The requisition slip lists the spending for "various purchases such as stamps, and other official needs of the club. This third request was also signed by Dr. Chambless and Bailey. Krueger gave one of his reasons for resigning that "Ashcraft likes to spend too much money without going through the proper channels. He is supposed to go to the executive board before spending money. "He has never called the executive board into session. He is supposed to have placed four other members on (Continued on p . 2)
