Marigolds”, is presently being rehearsed. by the Notre Dame University theatre group in Nelson. The play is a powerful and moving study of an embittered, vindictive widow and her two daughters. Critics have called the play one of the most signi- ficant and affecting plays in our time. This is the auth production of the theatre group in 10 years, and will once again be directed by Lois Walker. * The part of Beatrice will be played by Felice Davis, who teaches creative drama at the Civie Center in Nelson. Her - daughter, Elaine Davis, will portray Matilda; Janice Hope, a Student Services Assistant at NDU, will take the part of Ruth, The other two actresses are Liz Arthur, a third-year English student at NDU and Ella Jaziowieki, who is study- ing theatre and English ° at NDU. The performances will take place March 10-13 at the NDU. Theatre in Nelson.

Words That Outlive Their Usefulness A lot .of English words have outlived their usefulness, as far as the Unicorn Hunters of Lake Superior State College in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., are concerned. Early each’year the whim- sical group calls for the banish- ment of certain words in an effort to clean up the language. Bill Rabe, -the Unicorn Hunters’ archivist, ‘said this year’s targets include such phrases as “perfectly candid,” which. Rabe says means, “I've been trapped into telling most of the truth.” Also, “acti e possibility,” which means, “it’s not likely to happen,” and “new dimension,” such as, “This cabinet member will add a new. dimension” to whatever he’s going to do. That means, “We don't know ‘what he's going to do,” Rabe said. wioLast;iyear:we : banished successfully ‘detente,’ and later President Ford joined us in the endeavor,” Rabe said.
