Theater Arts Holds
‘Murder’ Tryouts
T. S. Eliot’s production, “Mur¬
der in the Cathedral,” the third
major PCC Theater Arts Associ¬
ation presentation of the school
year, will begin casting this
week.
Tryouts will be held in Sexson
Auditorium from 3 to 5 p.m., Feb¬
ruary 7 through 11. The cast is
a large one and includes the arch¬
bishop, three priests, a messenger,
four tempters, attendants, and a
chorus of women.
“Murder” is a verse choir type
of play which has proved popu¬
lar with audiences through the
years. It is the story of the Arch¬
bishop of Canterbury, Thomas a
Becket, who was killed because of
a chance remark of Henry II,
King of England.
The Theater Arts Association
also plans one other major play,
"Visit to a Small Planet,” by Gore
Vidal, before the end of the year.
Two previous offerings of the
association were “School for
Wives,” by Moliere, and “Barefoot
in Athens,” by Maxwell Ander-

Volunteers Useful
in Teacher Help
A gathering of educators and
volunteers from five different
western states was told recently
that many thousands of Los An¬
geles area teachers and students
are in need of outside assistance
from volunteers with leisure time.
Mrs. Sarah Davis of the City
Schools Urban Affairs Depart¬
ment told the first meeting of the
National School Volunteer Pro¬
gram, which met in the Statler
Hilton Hotel, that there are “Six
thousand college students avail¬
able, from 20 nearby schools, of¬
fering tutoring help to the Los
Angeles area pupils who need it.”
Mrs. Davis also stated that Los
Angeles could use 1000 more vol¬
unteers since they have only 150
or so in the elementary schools.
All volunteers must have a
good education and the necessary
free time to spend in the schools
aiding the teachers with such ac¬
tivities as paper work and helping
students overcome their obstacles
— most often slow reading or lan¬
guage barriers.
Miss Adele Tunick, program di¬
rector of the Public Education As¬
sociation, points out that “par¬
ticular emphasis is given to serv¬
ices for the educationally de¬
prived.”
Jack Crowther, LA superinten¬
dent of schools, stated that the
tutoring program has been of
great help to pupils who were in
need of it, and that expansion of
the program was highly desirable.
