French comedy lauded by critic By Rosela Del Castillo Variety seems to be the objective of the drama department this year in their attempt to show diversity through this semester's productions. If this is the case, they have succeeded beautifully in demonstrating ve rsatility first by prese nting ''Phaed ra, '' a neo-classic Greek tragedy and their current play, "The Egg," a contem porary French comedy. Audience participation is pe rhaps the key to the s uccess of "The Egg." Tom Henderson, as Emile Magis, by wandering in and out of the "The Egg," and addressing the audience, does the most to create this stimuli. Short interactions with people in s id e the Egg and inte r esting soliloquies on life's themes, such as love a nd sex, provide we lcome contrast throughout the play. The humor has overtones of cynicism, but is refreshingly frank. The irony withi n the story is also satirical. John Higdon, who undertakes three character roles, and executes all three very well, showed this irony In his c haracterlzation of Eugene. Eugene, the husband of Magis' mistress, Rose (played by Cher Kunz), Is usually present when Magis comes to visit Rose. Eugene not only acquires his place when Rose asks him to take a walk but approves and likes Magis. For being an inexperienced cast, they pulled through successfully, probably due to the efforts of Buddy As hbrook, director. teve Barns, JoAnn Watkins, Mary Vollmer, Estella McDill, Wayne Baldon, Claudia Eichen, Cheri Jacques, Ed Moelthen, Obie O'Brien, Beverly Larsen, Bob Carven, Claudia Keithly, Darlene Booker, Dr. Rollin Coleman and Don O'Rourke, did an adequate job in their roles. The theater-in-the-round idea with the clever egg-shaped stage provided an interesting atmosphere for the play which the audience seemed to enjoy. Norman Gaskins, technical director, should also take a bow for his excellent work on the technical aspect of "The Egg." If you' r e interested in seeing a play with humor and a message, there is still tim e to take in Feliciens Marceau's "The Egg" tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30p.m. in P - 33 .

Palomar co-sponsors 'Felicita' ''Palomar College has become part of the Felicita Pageant by jointly sponsoring the play "Feliclta", Buddy Ashbrook, director of the play announced. By a motion passed by the Board of Trustees, Palomar will now be contributing some of the funds for costumes and salaries for those helping with the play. Ashbrook added that transferable units for the theater workshop will be received by those students, who wish to take part in the pageant. One unit will be given for the first session and three for the second session. ''The script has been re- written and smoothed out. More songs, action and original music has been added," Ashbrook said. "Anyone who can rid e , sing, dance make costumes, help with make-up etc., is welcomed to tryout. There are many children roles to be filled. As a matter of fact there are so many roles that just about anyone who wants to try out will probably get a part." Tryout dates are scheduled for June 4 at 7 p.m. and June 6 at 6 p.m. in room P-33. Rehearsals will be held in the evening with performance dates starting Sept. 4-19 at 3:30p.m. The Felicita Pageant is a historical re-enactment of the battle of San Pasqual between the Mexicans, the Americans and the Indians. Escondido, where the pageant is being presented, is one mile from where the battle actually
took place. Some of the historical figures are General Pico, Kit Carson and General Kearny. "We've also taken care of the poison oak problem that existed last year. So people need not worry about catching poison oak," As hbrook concluded.
Tryouts set for musical Tryouts for Rogers and Hammerstein's "Flower Drum Song," this year's summer -theatre workshop, are scheduled for June 28 only, the first day of the summer session in P-33. Performance dates will be July 2931 and Augilst 5-7 in P-33 at 7:30p.m. "This is the third year we've had a summer theatre workshop. Last year, we doubled our enrollment with our production of "Man of La Mancha," Ashbrook commented. "We're anticipating many talented people to try out because there are lots of good roles . "Everybody who gets involved this summer will have the opportunity to work with different aspects of a major production. Anyone in the community may sign up and students will receive transferable credits for their participation," Ashbrook concluded.
Elections for next semester's council have been postponed until the beginni ng of the fall semester.

Article 5 Section 3 Part C-If executive committee and / or student assembly are unable to function because of lack of members, recall, or any other reason judiciary advocates may assume emergency powers to conduct all nec essary business for a period of not more than 21 school days, at which time a special election must be held to fill all vacant offices. The new members may then review all acts of the judiciary for preceding emergency period . Article 7 Section 3 Part C-A quorum shall consist of 50 percent of the members. (judiciary) Article 13 Section 4 Part A-Regularly scheduled meetings canceled because of a lack for quorum are counted as official absence against those not represented.
