Belknap Campus' Studio Theatre presents this
weekend for its third production a double bill­ing:
William Hanley's one-act marital comedy,
Today Is Independence Day, and Ron Whyte's
exercise in dual manipulation, Welcome to An­dromeda.
The first play is directed by Herry
Dickey; the second play, by Holly Jenkins. Rick
Dennis worked on light design and supervised
the crew for both shows, and Rick Sullivan super­vised
the sound work. Ginny Pfeiffer designed
the set for Andromeda.
Since both shows did not open until Thursday
eventin, and my deadline for this review was
early Wednesday morning, I had to attend the
first technical rehearsals on Tuesday night. This
crucial rehearsal is the laboratory in which the
primary elements are brought together for the
first time; light cues, sound effects and acting
are coordinated and adjusted by the director.
This rehearsal provides the time and space for
final major changes in the blocking, the actors'
movements on stage, and technical cues, the
points in the action at which to bring in sound
effects and turn lights up, down, on or off.
What is sometimes seen in very rough perform­ances
-lights which come on before a performer
touches a wall lamp, or doorbells which ought
to ring but are never heard - is a common situa-ation
here. At any time the director may
stop the run- through to rework
the play; all through the re-hearsal
the actors move and
speak to accompanying

By TOM MURRAY
In 1968 a small private college in Kentucky,
renowned in the state for its medifal school,
was "near bankruptcy." The education boon
of the post World War II years was absorbed
by the school and contributed to its financial
stability. What U of L had not prepared for was
the 1960's, particularly the late 1960's when the
World War "baby boom'' put millions of its
youth either to war or to college.
Vietnam, too, was an indirect consequence
of the massive baby birthrate after the 2nd World
War. Military leaders found that there was no
end of the number of recruits they could assign
to Southeast Asia. As men went to war, colleges
suffered. That is, colleges suffered until a revolt
of the youth turned thousands of World War II
babies into Hippies, Counterrevolutionaries and,
oddly enough, college students.
The additional students enrolled at the Uni­versity
of Louisville did not bode well for the
small Liberal Arts College. Classroom attendance
mushroomed. Many students were forced into
academia to escape the U.S. government's selec­tive
system and to re-enforce their belief in an

Student Government
By PAUL CHEN
Funds appropriated in the 1977-78 academic
year for the publication of the Speed Engineer
were spent, instead, on general office items.
Of the $3,654 allocated, the Speed School
Dean's Office used $3,214 for photo duplica­tion,
and $142 for office equipment.
Last published in October 1976, the Speed
Engineer was a quarterly magazine put together
by students. A number of problems with print­ing
deadlines and advertisers brought publica­tion
to a halt after that first and only 1976 issue,
but only after expending $1 ,715 of the budgeted
$3,264. Included in spent funds was approxi­mately
$400 in student wages. The remaining
money, according to assistant dean or' Speed
School Scherrill Russman, was reverted back to
the university.
Having not published for nearly two years,
the Engineer received a $3,686 budget for this
academic year. An Engineering Council meeting
last Friday decided to try to revive the Engi-neer
this year, but to only publish one issue.
The meeting, however, was called by Speed
School dean Harry Saxe only after a Cardi­nal
reporter questioned Saxe about the
publication.
Saxe was contacted earlier by stu­dent
government president Robin
Winston this summer about the funds.
Saxe said that Winston wanted to take the

Said Winston, "I feel that as a line item budget
request, Speed School is accountable to the uni­versity
to publish the Engineer. Several other
publications receive funds and publish. I feel
that Speed School should be the same.''
But the situation may be further complicated.
