' ' The Hypo Christens With the fall production of Moliere ' s The Hypo , the Creighton Players and the Little Theater in the new College of Business Administration made their debut together. The comedy was a challenge to the actors, and a treat for the students and faculty in the audience. Barth Butalla portrayed Argon, the hypochondriac, and Mary Ann Jacobs played Beline, his scheming wife. Mickey Brenner was seen as the maid; John Vacanti. as Monsieur Diafoirus, and George Hill as his son. Thomas: Judv Snell as Madame Purgon. the physician: and Roger Diez as Ar- gon ' s brother, Beralde. The two lovers. Angelique and Cleante. were played by Patricia Padden and David Moran. A rgon ' s brother. Beralde, sums up the wit of the play, its mockery of medicine and learning, by saying: When you have a cap and gown on. any gibberish becomes wis- dom, and all nonsense becomes sound reason. (Act III) CLEVER AND CRAFTY, Argon ' s scheming second wife, Beline, portrayed by Mary Ann Jacobs in a quality performance. THE FINALE brings the entire cast to the curtain. The little fellows are From St. Benedict ' s parish. ANIMATED ARGON, Barth Butalla, decries the cost of medi- cine as he moans over his imaginary ailments. 26

The Sdcial uliirl ;il ( ' rcifilildti Lini rrsil liadilionallv begins with the Fall Frolics, the first all-University dance. One time called the Freshman Frolics, two years ago the dance was given its current title to broaden the scope of its entertainment. This year the event was once more broadened in scope, not only to include a social benefit for all Creiidi- tonians. but also a far-reaching benefit to all Omaha. The Creighton segment of the United Community Ser- vices Fund drive was linked to this event. A Miss Cutie-Mr. Ugly contest was sponsored b the Student Board of Go er- nors. and the ictors reigned as king and queen of the dance. This contest was not new at Creighton. but ne ' ei ' before had it been linked to an all-Universitv social activitx . The cro vnin r occurred during intermission, and Miss Culie. Phyllis Gregg of Theta Upsilon Sororit . and her court were ' cute in their little girl costumes and carrying lollipops. Not to be outdone, the Mr. Ugh candidates achieved their purpose of l)eing sights for the sorest of eves. Sporting beards. sus])enders. and shotguns, thev were, to say the least, an unrul looking group. Every organization had the opportunits to enter a candi- date and the votes were scored on a nickel-a-vote basis. It was the one occasion when buying votes was encouraged. Competition was keen and as enthusiasm mounted so did the Creighton contribution to the fund. All proceeds from the dance and the votin were iven to the dri e. MISS CUTIE AND MR. UGLY, Phyllis Gregg and Kent Oberg, pause after the intermissron ceremonies to share a lollipop.
