Thursday, Dacember 5,1968 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 9 'Peter Pan' Production Is Banned For Obscenity MADISON, Wis. (CPS) - Hearings will begin next week on charges of obscenity against a play director and dancer who performed an original "Peter Pan" on the University of Wisconsin campus. But according to the director, Stuart Gordon, the charges may be dismissed, and legal action is at a temporary standstill. Gordon, who has presented several other plays at the University, is charged with obscenity because of the appearance of nude dancers in his adaptation of J. M, Barrie's classic. Carolyn Purdy, who allegedly appeared nude in one sequence, is also charged with obscenity. The play was closed down after two performances by the campus police and the Madison district attorney in September. Campus police conducted the investigation of the identity of participants in the nude dance sequence. Although university officials reportedly asked the D. A. s office not to press charges, they took no official stand against the censorship. (< Gordon said his version of Peter Pan" was an attempt to emphasize some parts of the original covered up by Mary Martin." He said he believed the television musical version overshadowed the more mean- ingful association in the original. "We presented the idea that Peter Pan had been pretty much destroyed by his society," Gordon told the Daily Cardinal, 'It's a play about a man attempting to achieve happiness; in his effort he loses both his innocence and his happiness." Captain Hook and the pirates are represented as police in the play, Mrs. Darling (mother of heroine Wendy) as "a cross between a Tennessee Williams character and Mrs. Robinson," and Mr. Darling as "a henpecked shadow of a man." Playterinvents the first-day tampon (We took the inside out to show you how different it is.) Outside: it's softer and silky (not cardboardy). Inside: it's so extra absorbent.. .it even protects on your first day. Your worst day! In every lab test against the old cardboardy kind... the Playtex tampon was always more absorbent. Actually 45 % more absorbent on the average than the leading regular tampon. Because it's different. Actually adjusts to you. It flowers out. Fluffs out. Designed to protect every inside inch of you. So the chance of a mishap is almost zero! -^ r«>™~zzz] Why live in the past? ™f_ P**§Jj^ tampons Miss Purdy called her refusal to leave the play under threat of prosecution "a question of commitment to principle. Anyone has the right to artistic freedom; I was also standing up for someone else's." Although six of the dancers who allegedly appeared nude left the cast, Miss Purdy felt she could not drop out, "Standing on the sidelines waving banners was a poor way of supporting artistic freedom," she said. Defense Attorneys have filed motions for dismissal, claiming that the original complaints against the defendants are Inadequate. They say the complaints are based on hearsay and third-hand information, and therefore are unreliable. Chances of the charges being dismissed, Gordon says, are about 50-50, The director has received hundreds of letters from across the country, ranging from praise for "enlightening the parochially provincial Midwest" to pleas "to repent the sin." He termed the experience of prosecution a loss of innocence: "One thing I have learned -- there is no such thing as para - noia; everyone is out to get everyone else." On the Wisconsin campus, the prosecution has caused other fears. A freshman girl summed it up in a letter to the Cardinal: "... I expected a good performance. I did not expect a beautiful, almost perfect, blending of art forms . . »'. G7ZZK 1$eW Delta Sig Delta Sigma Phi will visit the Asheville Orthopedic Hospital Thrusday, December 5, to give the children their annual Pop Garner Christmas Party, This is a national tradition in Delta Sigma Phi. The Brothers are each adopting a child for the day, giving them a Christmas present, and trying to make their Christmas away from home a little merrier. Santa will be there to distribute presents to all the children. Founders Day for Delta Sigma Phi will be observed Tuesday, December 10. On that day the Sigs will be sixty-nine years old. All the brothers will be wearing white carnations during the day and will sing Christmas carols to the girl's dorms that night. PiKa The Brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha have recently adopted a child, Scott Rennick, of the Thornwell Orphanage in Clinton, S. C. Scott is ten years old and lives with eleven other boys in the Fowler Home of the orphanage. Among other activities, Scott enjoys football, swimming, and tennis. The Brothers are planning a trip to Clinton December 7 to meet their newly made friend and to present him with a Christmas gift from the brotherhood. Phi Mu The sisters of Phi Mu Fraternity recently visitedthe Gordon's Rest Home in Webster. Their program consisted of singing Christmas Carols and holding a devotion service for the residents. This was the second time the sisters have visited the home as one of their social service projects. On Friday night, December 6, the sisters of Phi Mu and their dates will attend a Christmas party at the home of Dr, and Mrs. Stepp, the sorority's sponsors. This annual party will be the last social function of the fall quarter before the Christmas holidays. GDI The honorable non-brethren of GDI did not hold their non- annual initiation meeting this December 4 due to a conflict with the Carson-Newman massacre by the Catamounts. At this time, Gamma Delta Iota still has no plans ( as usual) for their non-smoker and non-initiation, but still holds claim to being the oldest and richest non-organization on the WCU campus and the entire world. The acting non-president of the non-exclusive non-fraternity expressed gladness at the prosperity and growth of GDI at their last non-meeting near the phone booth by the bank in downtown Cullowhee.
