an Interpretation that is arresting
even when 1t hints there is more
to the tragedy than meets the eye
and ear.
This is an "Othello" then that is
worthy of attention. an exuberant
attack upon an erupting volcano
of a play. Joining the Moor in
his mood Of Farewell, the tram
quill mind" one of the best COL
lege casts ever assembled gives it
the works, no less. AS an adven-
ture in play-making, it is on part
with last seasons "Oedipus," the
high mark in classic drama pro-
duction in this vicinity.
The "Othello" which Director
Allan Schneider chose to present
is the most human" one. He and
a cast headed by Bill Callahan
dast years Oedipus) and Leo
Brady narrate the tale of a bril-
liant. dark skinned soldier who,
in Ben Jonson's words "over-
matched" himself in marriage to
the white princess, Desdemona.
In this union. Othello not only
took unto himself a bride, but
took on the whole bigoted. crafty.
immoral mind of Venice. His con-
coded greatness as a warrior en-
abled him to make a brilliant
challenge here but not a successful
one against such odds.
The line of this "othello" is
so simply fixed and followed with
all the. vigor and intelligence
at the command of Director
Schneider and his players. The
emotional inclines of Othello's
twin affairs with Desdemona and
his naughty enemies fling back
the college actors now and then
but they always scramble back to
the attack.
1t is the kind of conflict, one
suspects, that Shakespeare him
self might have enjoyed.

mate in finding actors Of the

caliber of Callahan, as Othello
and Brady in lagos role. Under
Schneider's direction. this is a
pair to catch much of the famous
lightning of the tragedy.
AS so often happens - which
paradoxically sharpens the trag-
edy of "Othello"- Iago is the
more arresting character of the
two. In his villainy, he is always
the more human unless he is pic
tured as the very essence of evil
He Is not so portrayed by Brady
His conniving against the gallant
Moor is despicable. but 1t is also
sharply comic at times which it
can hardly fail to be in the hands
of an intelligent actor aware OF
the ironic comedy in all low-grade
politicians.
Nevertheless. the title Of the
play is "Othello" and Callahan Is
player to defend it we'll. He is
not daunted by the towering an
guish of a hero long out of style
black man disarmed by love and
lured into a .dementedly hostile
world. He is not afraid to scream
his rage. moan his desperate love
and literally spit his hate. In

The number and attractiveness
of the labels attached to "Othel-
TO-" not to mention the fact that
virtually the whole play has been
reduced to familiar quotations,
make 1t equally tempting to audi
ences.
1t is not surprising then that
"Othello" should turn up this
fortnight as the classic on this
years play schedule at Catholic
University. The surprise is rather
that the university theater group
has bided it's time these IA years
in getting around to Shakespeare's
hero who loved not wisely but too
we'll.
The delay may be explained by
the fact that the campus players
have been working up to "Othello. F"
It is a veritable cathedral of a
play and you do not fill it with
small actors. In fact, sometimes
even the largest actors have
sounded woefully hollow in the
tumultuous emotions of the tor
mented Moor and his Venetian
tormentors.
So 1t has been that "Othello"
became the most carefully and
cagily stalked drama in c. us
long repertory.
The wisdom of this Is rewarded
by an ~Othello" that is one of the
most beautiful productions in the
university theater's history, and

Help Wanted, but Not Available

A shortage of stenographers and typists at
the Wright-Patterson Base near Dayton sug-
gested to the Air Force the expedient of hiring
young women and paying their way through
business school so that they could learn stenog-
raphy and typewriting and do the jobs they were
hired to do
Senator Byrd, exposing this practice, pointed
out that it was not authorized and Air Force
appropriations were, therefore, being unlawfully
diverted The practice has been stopped. But
the Air Force problem of getting its paper work
done in an area where there is a shortage OF
stenographers and typists is by no means solved,
and nobody has come up with any solution. A
few days before Senator Byrd called attention
to the practice the Civil Service Commission had
told the Air Force that there was no way Of
establishing salary grades for the learners, for
such grades were not authorized, and that the
Air Force practice would be discriminating
against other Government agencies, also in need
of typists and Stenographers, who were not
sending trainees to business school
The Air Force is not the only sufferer from
the shortage of skilled office help. The shortage
began during the past war and has continued,
for young women have found that they can
obtain unskilled work that pays about as much
as stenography and typing, therefore removing
the incentive to 60 to business school. The

Jones said no more about the matter
for several days, when one of the pets
was found asleep in his faverite chair.
Get out. get out, he shouted, giving
the animal push.
Reluctantly, the cat got out. Cats
in the Jones family were more or less
used to the best places, either the
dining room table or the best chairs,
and to be pushed out of chair sum-
marily, struck this one as odd, indeed.
It looked very indignant.

ness schools around the country that while they
can place ten women in skilled office work for
every woman they train, the demand for such
training remains relatively low. ts
There is nothing to indicate now that the
number of stenographers and typists needed by
the Government is available, nor is the supply
apt to increase. So it may be necessary for
Congress to authorize the executive agencies to
train their own help, paying the help while 1t
is being trained. But this step might be self
defeating. For the agencies assigned to train
Office help for other agencies which need Office
help would doubtless require so much additional
Office help themselves in training Office help for
others that the shortage Of Office help would
be aggravated rather than overcome, another

racy really feeds upon itself.
