Oscar Wilde Portrayed In Drama Production It's Nice to Be a Ph D' By Bob Hughes Oscar Wilde was a freak. With his long hair and strange clothes, he was considered so weird that Gilbert and Sullivan got away with writing a successful comic opera satirizing him. Wilde wasn't well liked by the authorities -- his Tiny Tim appearance coupled with an acid tongue seemed to bring out the worst in people. But Wilde had an uncanny ability to find the ridiculous in ::Ie society of his day and amplify it so gracefully that even the authorities couldn't help laughing. He was a successful freak, for he helped to change the system that disgusted him. Where there are some things in The Importance of Being Earnest that may seem dated to our "relevant 20th Century sensi- Campus Meeting Evidence of an Answered Prayer It began as a prayer of a Christian on campus. Her prayer was that some sort of meeting could begin where students could share their experiences with Jesus Christ, discuss scriptures, and witness in places like the plaza, Tyler Mall, Inland Center, parks, schools and college campuses. Focus Week lighted a spark in some lives that enabled the meetings to begin. They were scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and that Christian prayed for 12 people u> come to the first meeting. At 6:30 Monday evening, students began coming to the Prayer Room on the second floor on the main campus building. Each told of his personal experience with Jesus and of answered prayer, and soon that spark became a fire which united each spirit in the room. As they prayed, that Christian counted exactly 12 people in the room. But she wasn't surprised! Chapel cards will be collected in the Dean of Students Office next week - March 22 - 26. bilities, there is much more that is right on. Wilde chops merrily away at semantic difficulties, wish fulfillment, class struggles, the "well-made" play, and women in general . . . just to name a few. But perhaps the nicest thing about the play is, it's funny. The story is ridiculous to the point of of inanity, but that's what cracks an audience up. A very fine C.B.C. cast will be performing Earnest March 18, 19, and 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel. At 50c for students, $1.00 for adults, how could you lose? A fanfare of trumpets and a standing ovation from a capacity crowd in the CBC Cafeteria Monday noon greeted Dr. Kendall Wilcox, "freshman" chemistry professor. Wilcox, accompanied by his wife Kathleen, was honored by Dr. Laverne Young and students of the science department for the recent completion of requirements for his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. After the reading of a poem composed in his honor, Wilcox was presented with a white lab coat with the words "Quiet -- Doctor at work!" printed across the back. Following a brief intro duction by Dr. Young, Wilcox was seated as guest of honor at a long table decorated with jelly bean molecules, candles placed in bun- sen burners, and flowers set in chemist's flasks. A 12 foot banner placed over the table read, "IT'S NICE TO BE A 'PH.D.' ". At 28, Wilcox is the youngest doctorate on the California Baptist College faculty. A native of Kansas, he came to the West Coast after doing undergraduate work at Central College and Sterling College, both in his native state. The Wilcox's, who have been married four years, have one two year old child, Jeffrey.

The original production will be presented in the California Baptist College Van Dyne Field House March 22-23 at 8 p.m. Tickets are 50c for students, SI. for adults. "When one attempts to recreate the life of a famous individual for the stage, there are innumerable difficulties," admitted Noel Walker, author of the Music Guild's production, "Beethoven, Portrait of a Soul." Months of research into the life of that musical genius will culminate Monday and Tuesday evenings at 8 p.m. when Noel Walker portrays Ludwig van Beethoven; Richard Reed, the Judge and Karl van Beethoven; Heidi Britton, Joanna, Karl's wife; and Miriam Merino, Josephine von Brunsvik, Beethoven's lover. "In bringing Beethoven back from the dead, I read his letters extensively, not only as possible dialogue, but to better understand the inner man," Walker said. "I found Beethoven to be a passionate, temperamental, and not infrequently childish man. His deafness at an early age, compounded with this, served to further his maladjustment in society. That is, he was impossible to live with." Featuring music from Beethoven's 3rd, 7th, and 9th symphonies, the production will be performed in arena style with the audience on three sides. Credits go to Susan Huffman for costuming, Richard Reed for lighting, and Mike Maher for sound. Walker hopes to "reach those who have yet to experience Beethoven's music." In studying Beethoven's intense personality, Walker found that the musician's "misanthropic attitude was to cause him no end of grief. . .he nearly drove every friend he owned away and was the direct cause of his nephew's attempted suicide.
