STOVER FEATURES COMEDY The Stover Theatre production, "Mistress of the Inn" by Carol Goldoni, is being presented tonight with a matinee and evening performance tomorrow. According to Director Charles C. Ritter, the costumes of the mid- eighteenth century, of which period the farce is concerned, were designed by Brenda Porter and her staff of assistants. To perpetuate the traditional "Commedia dell art" by putting it into more realistic dramatic form was Goldoni's purpose. He composed several plays which stand as monuments to the Italian comic spirit. New with this production is the use of Harlequin by Sandi Bur- ghult and ■ Columbine portrayed by Brenda Porter, which are comic dancers characteristic of the pediod and used to portray the forthcoming events. The play is under the technical direction of Bruce Griffiths. A revolving set is being constructed by John Farmer and his crew: Bob Plato, Bob Hedgepeth, Ramon Delgado and John Blanton.

"It is not anything that I had planned and I am sorry to have to ask for this" Rhodes said in an interview. "Circumstances of grave importance regarding my family force me to accept this opportunity to graduate in the middle of the yea*1." Rhodes will ask the student body to allow him to resign his post in the 10 o'clock assembly this morning. He will ask that the student body allow Vice President Anderson to run the SGA for tho rest of the school year. Rhodes stated that he felt that the President's Cabinet was well enough organized to allow him to resign in favor of the Vice President without doing serious harm to the revisions being made in the SGA or affecting the general trend of the government. Plans for the spring semester are nearly complete with one or two exceptions and these will be taken care of in the regular order of business during* the semester. "It is my desire" said Rhodes, "to be able to assist the SGA on a part time voluntary basis after I graduate. I feel that I owe this to the students who elected me last Spring." Difficulties that will be encountered by the SGA when Rhodes resigns will be in the form of the fact that the Vice President will be interning at DeLand High School and not readily available for school functions. "I am sorry to see Joe resign" said Vice President Anderson, "because he has done a wonderful job. I shall try to fill the office as well as I can. I am sure that the present slate of SGA officers will be able to carry out the plans already made with little difficulty or supervision." Two courses of action will confront the student body when the president makes his request. The vice president may hold the post until the end of.the year. (This is the course of action favored by the SGA officers.) Or the Rule's Committee may call for a special election which must be held, according to the Constitution, within 14 days of the time the vacancy occurs. The onset of final exams will make the latter the most difficult course of action.
