A visitor from outer space has arrived

Mr. and M rs. Allen L. Rosenberg of
Phoenix donated the m assive rock, whieh
finally arriv ed on cam pus two weeks ago
after a fourteen m onth delay.
Poor com m unication, political upheavel
in A rgentina, the kidnapping of an
A m erican consular official and a le tte r th a t
rook four m onths to be - delivered had
com bined to m ake acquiring the m eteorite
quite a job for C harles Lewis,- associate
curator of the M eteorite Center.
In M arch, 1973, ASU negotiated cTdeal
for the 'm eteorite w ith its owner, D r. N estor
H illar of Cordoba, A rgentina. On O ctober,
the Rosenbergs provided an initial' bank
d raft which w as sen t to Dr. H illar as a down

Also, if ASU scientists are to do

Program helps vets

Two hundred armed forces
veterans are now enrolled in
orfufatinnal assistance classes1
•a t ASU. The classes, sponsored
by the Veterans Special Ser­
vices Program, are designed to
help the Vietnam era veteran
further
his
pre-college
education.
The program is divided into
two p arte for veterans with
high sct&ot diplomas and those
without.
For those with diplomas, the
program is designed to sharpen
yariomlp «Mils and bridge the
gap between high school and
college. F ar those without high
school diplomas, the program is
designed to prepare students for
the G eneral Equivalency
Diploma.
The program is paid for by

in the Band'

Gay play opens tonight
Homosexuality is the theme
in “The Boys in the Band,” an
adult comedy to be staged at 8
p.m. June 6-9 and 13-16 in the
Lyceum Theater at ASU.
The play, written by Mart
Crowley and directed by Daniel
Witt, uses the homosexual
experience to explore the
human condition, Dr. Witt said.
Clive Barnes of the New York
Times compared the play to
Albee’s “ Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf.” “Both are

concerned with the breaking
down of pretences, with the
acceptance of reality,” he said.
“ Both plays achieve that
purpose by using the flame
throwers of a cruel, excoriating
wit. The victims are flayed
alive, and even the persecutors
are victims.”
The story concerns nine men,
brought together at a birthday
party for one of the boys hi the
band.
The cast includes Harold, an

“archy and mehitabel,” a
musical incorporating the Tin
Pan Alley style swing and blues
of the 1940’s, will be staged at 8
p.m. June 7, 8, and 13-16 in the
ASU Music Theater.
The ASU Lyric Opera Theater
will present the show, which is
based on the w ritings of
American newspaper columnist
Don Marquis.
Archy, a transmigrated blank
verse poet who has returned in
the body of a cockroach, claims
to have been William
Shakespeare originally.
The m usical opens in a
newspaper office, dominated by
a huge typewriter upon which
Archy dances out his lower case
messaged. Being a cockroach,
he isn’t heavy enough to work
the shift key. Shinbone Alley,
the other portion of the set, is
where Mehitabel and her
friends cavort and dance. She
also is a transmigrated soul,
now in the body of a cat, who
claims to have been Cleopatra.
Joe Darion, ‘ who wrote the
words for the show, emphasized

its “back alley” quality. “Don’t
stifle it with dignity,” he said.
“Do not pickle it with pearshaped tones. iu st get up there
on the back fence jrith the other
cats and yowl it at the moon.”
Music Professor Kenneth
Seipp is directing the produc­
tion. The cast includes Harvey
Truitt as Archy, Sunny
Wilkinson as Mehitabel, John
Hood, Richard Phillips, Patrick
Linehan and Trish Kinney.
Tickets are . on sale at the
Music Theater box office.

party, played by Jim Welch, ah

Dr. Witt said the play may not
be suitable for younger
audiences.
“It’s a very realistic play and
the language is not the language
of the most elevated.
