"Playboy of the Western World," a comedy by .John Millington Synge, will he featured next week as the Dr am a Departm e nt' s final production of the semes te r. "Playboy" is sc hedu led to open nex t Thurs da y and continue on Friday and Saturday. It will he repeated May 31 and .June I and 2. Call ~- ! by some critics "the most pe rfec t comedy ever written", "Playboy" is a s trongly Irish pl ay. According to director Buddy As hbrook , the play concerns "the unlike ly si tu a tion ofashy, uns ure young man who is c ontinually hrowheaten hy a dominee ring father." As hbrook explained that when the hoy r eac hes the limit of his endurance, he hits hi s father in the head with a shovel and run s away. thinking he has committed a murd e r. He comes into a s mall town, admits he has killed his father, and is imm ediately claimed as a great hero by the townspeople. A Psychological Shot "The play is a psychological shot." Ashbrook said, pointing out that the action follows the premise that "we become what people think of us." In accordance with this, the boy gains confidence and becomes more secure as he lives up to hi s he ro image. "The Oy in the ointment comes when the boy's father, who is not really dead, shows up in town," Ashbrook explained. Because of this, the fame of the young hero dies, and the frustrated youth tries once more to kill his father. The cast of the play featured Jamey Sheridan as the playboy and Evie Payne as Peegen. Other major characters includ e Perry Skarra as Mahon, John Kelly as Michael James, and Mary Vance as Widow Quin. In addition, four towns girls in the play are portrayed by Ramele Flory, Ellen Hexom, Anita Joy and Barbara Long. High Expectations Ashbrook has high expectations for the success of "Playboy" he r e on campus. Although he pointed out that his prediction m ight be premature, he ranked "Playboy" as "the best play we've had here. The only one that ranks near it is 'Death of a Salesman'." His hopes are based on the strength of the cast and the all-around excellence of the play. Ashbrook pointed out. He cited the fact that the role of the playboy has been a springboard for many now famous actors, including Gregory Peck. In addition·. technical gimmicks,suchas an interesting fight scene. may help to make "Playboy" into what Ashbrook calls a "super-play" . And finally . some of the play's expected success may rest on the fact that, although all of the cast are students, many of them are older and are thus able to convincingly portray age. Ashbrook explained that it often is difficult to find college students who can do this. First Considered Risque "Playboy" was written and performed near the start of the 20th Century, and was first considered extremely risque. "When the play was first performed, it was very controversial, and was widely condemned as making fun of Irish people," Ashbrook said. "Now, it is one of the major plays performed in Ire land." He add ed that when the play was first performed in America in 1919, it was strongly condemned by a group calling itself the Irish- American League. Ashbrook noted that the stage for the play will be the traditional. proscenium type. This means that the stage has three established walls, with the audience through the imaginary fourth wall. Norma:J E. Gaskins. technical director, is in charge of the stage and lighting aspects of the stage . The play is set to begin at 7:30 each night It is held. Admission charges are $.50 for students and $1.50 for nonstudents.

committee , so that the PE Department can come up with a program that can s atisfy both students and department members." Lynds commented. Plans call for the group, which w!ll include both student and staff members, to begin regular meetings at the start of next school year. Meanwhile, Lynds announced the formation of a new three-unit course, "Health Fitness," which is modeled after a similar program at Stanford University. While this class w!ll be voluntary for students next year, the PE Department feels it should be mandated for all full-time students, beginning in 1974-5 . "We feel this much- - one semester of "Health- Fitness"--should be required." Lynds said. Currently, though, the question of mandation at Paloma r is still being debated. During the next school year, the prese nt requirements for PE will be In effect w}l.ile an ad hoc committee appointed by the Board of Governors studies the PE and other requirements. Recent legal interpretations have ruled that all students in a community college may be excused by the governing board from taking PE c lasses. If adopted as a mandated course, "Health- Fitness," under current plans would be required of all full-time stud ents. This year, due to a series of exemptions, only 2200 to 4000 day-time students are enrolled in a PE class . "If it is a good program," Lynds observed , "then it is good for everyone." In mandating its similar health program for its students, Stanford had enforced the ruling by preventing students who have not taken the class from gaining sophomore status. "Health- Fitness" at Palomar will be a combination lecture and activity course. Among the activities suggested are weight- traini ng , jogging, swimming and cardio- vascular training. Emphasis will be on the body's operation and testing equipment w!ll be available as an aid for the students. Possible revisions of existing PE curriculum was also discussed at the mee ting. Lynds indicated a p reference for larger recreational classes where ac tivity in playing a game is involved and small classes where personal instruction is a vital part oflearning new skills.
