A Dining Hall Drama
Act I
Scene I (Two students are seated at a dining hall table in a small liberal
arts college west of the Mississippi. One is complaining bitterly to the other,
who is obviously an older student)
Student I: I just can't eat this stuff any longer! My dog at home is better off
than we are.
Student II (In a soothing voice): Calrp down now. This is rather good today -
except for the taste.
I (heatedly): Well, how about the price?  I can buy eight cans of dog food for
the price of this and eat just as well in my room.
II (begrudgingly):  I'll have  to admit that charging  ten cents  for a glass of
water is a little high, but. . .
I: I hope to tell you it is! What really burns me though, is that coin operated
stomach pump.
II: Look! You should have been here before they installed it. They've made
lots of improvements in the past two years. Moving the infirmary next door
was  a stroke  of pure  genius.  Look at all  the  valuable minutes that are
saved.
I: That is a thought. I remember how tremendously impressed I was when the
the staff developed an all-starch meal.
II: Yes, and remember the honors they received for making a perfect embalming fluid?  Of course we know  that it was  really only coffee,  but Forest
Lawn still hasn't figured it out.
I: And the meatless hamburger! I still don't know how they make meat out of
old bread. I guess that I should really  be more appreciative of their efforts.
I'm a mission volunteer and I'm sure that I could eat anything anywhere,
thanks to the dining hall.
II:  I'm  glad that you feel better now.  I'd like  to talk  longer,  but I have to
work this  afternoon  so I can afford supper. We  get Gravy Train tonight!
(The two students, the younger one happier now, move toward the stomach
pump as the lights fade. Groaning from the infirmary becomes quite noticeable)
This  sterling drama was  never completed.  The  author died of complications resulting from food poisoning and is  now interred in the Forest Lawn
Cemetery. May he rest in peace.

equipment and sanitation methods.

DRAMA PRODUCTION
TO  BE  PRESENTED
DURING   HOMECOMING
Something different in theatricals
will be the feature of the evening
when the CBC Drama Department
presents "Night of January 16th" in
the College auditorium on November
15th and 16th. There have been
plays with vague endings before, but
this is the first one in which the
audience takes an integral part in
it's development and conclusion.
With Betty Campbell playing the part
of Karen Andre on trial for murder,
the jury, selected from the audience,
is given the problem of deciding her
guilt or innocence.
Those who wish to be available
for jury duty may write their names
on their tickets as they leave them
at the door. From these names a jury
of twelve people will be drawn.
Jurors selected will be on a profes-
sinal basis, for they will be paid a
refund amounting to the price of their
tiaket to the show.
Audiences generally leave the
theatre after a performance of "Night
of January 16th" debating the correctness of the verdict. Either decision will bring a protest from the
opposite side; the case will be a
challenge bound to arouse arguments
and discussion, for its underlying
conflict is the eternal conflict of
two definite types of humanity. It is
thus that the audience is put on
trial.
