Ski Club URING WINTER QUARTER, when most Northwestern students are hibernating in Scott hall grill, a group of 60 Northwestern students follow the snow to Aspen, Colorado for a ski trip. This is only one of numer- ous outings taken by members of the Ski Club. Members of this group range in experience from en- thusiastic novices to highly-polished competitive skiers. The new-comets learn skiing fundamentals from their more experienced friends, and from the professional instructors at the lodges in Michigan and Wisconsin, where the group spends several weekends. After awhile, the new skiers gain enough confidence to begin to vault steep slopes. For their two dollar dues, the new skiers gain valuable assurance, and learn techniques that would cost .i great deal more to master if taught by a profesrfiffwii instructor at a winter sports resort. The 60 NU Snowbirds held th-V fneetings every Wednesday evening. Club oliicers inf? A rl Ruth Nemrow. president, and Sis Ritchie, treasurer, Leon Kranz served as advisor of the 1955-56 Ski Club Ski Club members can often iw identified during winter quarter by the tans they obtain from the wind. Midwinter windburn is often as painful as summer sunburn. After a season of skiing at Aspen, Michigan, and Wis- consin, the healthy skiers took time out to hold a dance for the group during spring quarter. Page 33 f

University heatre REEK DRAMA FANS drank their cup of am- brosia at the UT production of Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonusn presented in the Speech auditorium. The play stems from a series of three legends which were rewritten as plays by Sophocles. The plots all concern a king, Oedipus, who finds that he has unknowingly committed the sins of incest and patricide. Blind and full of self-reproach, the monarch exiles himself from his kingdom of Thebes and wanders about the land in search of peace of mind and soul. Oedipus at Colonusn dramatizes the aged kings final journey and death. Hearts and jewels were the main booty of the thieves in UT's winter production of the French comedy Thieves Carnival by Jean Anouilh. The play concerns three rogues who have made thievery their career. Purse-snatch- ing, shop-lifting, and pocket-picking are daily duties of the trio until two of their prospective victims-wealthy young sisters-steal the hearts of the pilferers. A rich rival suitor, who wishes to increase his fortune, and the sisters, mother, who wishes to preserve her wealth and her daughters, complicate this farce, which ridicules social classes and petty crimes. Charles Waternian, as Oedipus, is joined by his daughters lsmene and Antigone, played by Margot Anagnos, Gail Jaffe. For Years After His Exile, the blind King Oedipus wandered the country till he reached Colonus where his bones were to be immortalized. His daughter Antigone served as her father's eyes, but here, despite the Kings pleadings, she is taken away from him. Page 357
