Hood, Dean of Men, pointed out that "There is no one who feels that Stetson should definitely be without fraternities.- nor is there any individual who claims that Stetson could not exist without such groups, but it is up fo the Wp as a representative of the groups to take the major portion of the re- l sponsibility in proving their value."

Merry Wives of Windsor," opening a three day run next Thursday, will be the Stover Theatre contribution to the Fine Arts Festival. This comedy was, according- to tradition, written to satisfy Queen Elizabeth's desire to see her favorite character, Falstaff, in love. Considered by Elizabethans as one of Shakespeare's most hilarious works, "The Merry Wives of Wind-, sor" is a treat rarely offered by college drama groups. Sir John Falstaff, fat, gross .and elderly soldier of fortune, (Get- tise Elliott) pays court—for money, not love—to Mrs. Page (Helen Lee Radloff) and Mrs- Ford (Carolyn Baltzer), the respectable wives of two prosperous Windsor citizens, Norman Gold and Joe Purnell. Amused rather than disgusted by the old rascal's impertinence, the two ladies hatch a plot for his discomfiture. After several plots, the ladies devise yet another adventure for Falstaff. This time he must come to Windsor Park at midnight disguised as the ghost of a hunter. But when he does appear at the rendezvous, the local children, dressed as elves and fairies, dance around him, mocking.- pinching and burning him with their tapers. Crestfallen, he confesses his rascally stratagems and is laughed to scorn by the merry wives, their husbands, friends and neighbors. The lighthearted confusion of the final scene affords an opportunity Cor Mrs. Page's pretty daughter Anne, (Beth White), to slip quietly away with her own true love, (Bob Thurman) under the very noses of her parents and the two suitors whom they have respectively provided for her. The rich comedy of the play is enhanced by Sir Hugh, the Welsh parson (Al Varn); the Franch doc- tir Caius (Kelly Weeks), Justice Shallow (Allen Myer) and his foolish- cousin, Slender (Hugh Young); Dame Quickly (Jackie Rich); and Falstaff's blackguardly attendants, Bardolph, Pistol and Nym, Mark Hollis, Ralph Storey and Victor Vaughen. "The Merry Wives of Windsor" was last produced at Stetson in 1938. Directing the play is O. G. Brockett. Reservations can be made Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday between 3 and 5 p.m. at the theatre box office. BULLETIN NAIA Cage Tournament opens tonight at 7:3C; Hi-Hatters tangle with Rollins, . . .
