The new officers include Gus Fox, president; Kris Billington, vice president; and Cherie Mor-rell, secretary-treasurer. The changes were a result of the resignations of Charles Hollister and Barbara Biagi at the beginning of the school year. Before his appointment as president of RHA, Fox had been serving as vice president of Promontory Towers. His former office has been filled by Joe Todd. Billington's former office of secretary-treasurer of Promontory Towers is still vacant. The Residence Hall Association Council is comprised of the Executive Cabinet and the presidents and vice-presidents of each of the four residence halls on campus. This council works together for all the students living in the residence halls and promotes social and cultural activities, intramural programs, scholarship, and participation in all Residence Hall and College activities. Steven Layland, Assistant Housing Director, is the advisor for the group. crane catalyst critic presents poor review of theatres 1st production 5 by dan g. crane staff critic Certainly, the low point in a week precipated with high points the like of Isaac Stern, the opening of Ballet West, etc., will be Ronald Wooden's production of the Gian-Carlo Menotti play, "The Consul." Menotti, whose name and reputation were never widely known, is further diminished today because in a few short years his works have become barren of timeliness and, even if executed by major talents, lay as limp and lifeless as they were when they came thudding from his pen. Scarce moments of Menotti' s excellence simply cannot carry the weight of his emotion clogging dialogues. "The Consul" is even more stagnating and shallow than his masterpiece of pretentious moralism, "A Copy of Madame Auspic." Menotti was primarily a composer for the opera. Opera was what he knew. This must be considered so one can understand the quality of his lesser works. This further mystifies, however, the actors bolting from yawn-stabbed comatose to shen-anigized melodrama throughout the endless evening. Wooden's direction was impotent. He appeared unable to operate on Menotti's level. Whether that is a liability or advantage I can't discern. Once the director has chosen a work to produce he assumes the responsibility of it's stage birth. Wooden seems to have abandoned the proverbial ship I A A A A A A A much before the women and chil dren. Act III was a statement in confusion and total irritation. The audience deserved more than frustration and incompetence. I hope Mr. Wooden will take advantage of the presence of "Drich" from the Antique TheaterSnake River Valley. He directs!It is not an evening one anticipates. Material selection more suited to talents available and audience interest would be appreciated on both sides of the foot lights. Mary Jane Wheelwright continues to troup bravely through the literary and directional haze aided and abetted by none. If there is a medal for courage in the theater, Ms. Wheelwright qualifies absolutely. tAAr A A A A A A A A 1ckickick'kickir1 HE KNOWS OUR PROBLEMS He and his wife graduated from Weber State College.
