STE they were doing [harmful research] and they said ‘no’ on the forms, they would be committing a felony. they’d get thrown in jail.”

“At least they’ve intro- duced the principle of social responsibility, which they never would have admitted a year ago,” said Kaler, “but there is no mechanism for re- view.”

UPEI Theatre Group Performs at MacKenzie Theatre

The annual production of the UPEI Student Theatre Society will take place on March 15,16 and 17 (Thursday through Satur-

day) at 8:00 pm in the MacKenzie |

Theatre in downtown Charlotte- town. : $

First produced in 1925, Hay Fever ran for 337 performances. It was revived in 1941 and 1963, and again in 1983 at the Queen’s Theatre in London. The idea for the play came to Coward after he spent time with a zany Amer-

ican actress and her husband in New York. Considering that this

play is regarded as one of the best ©

comedies of modern English the- atre, it is surprising to learn that he wrote it in only three days.

The action of the play takes

one day, from Saturday afternoon _ .

to Sunday morning — a day which the four visitors to the Bliss’ house will never forget. The Bliss

family is made up of four ec- centrics, living in an age when the rules of behaviour governing a so- cial weekend were clearly spelled out for both the guests and hosts. The four guests, expecting this weekend to be what they are ac- customed to, suffer the trauma of having their plans for a quiet weekend thrown into disarray. Gregson Winkfield is this year’s director. a professional di- rector, actor and writer who has directed and acted in England and the United States and across Canada, directed last year’s highly successful UPEI produc- tion, The Beaux Strategem.

cludes Lori Linkletter, Ted Baker,

MaryAnne FitzPatrick, Barbara

Cormie, Dianne Campbell, Gor- don Cobb, and Laurie Murphy.

The Soviet aircraft, which are used for long-range reconnais- sance and -anti-submarine war- fare, remained over international waters and at no time penetrated Canadian airspace. Their clos- est approach to land was approx- imately 370 kilometres (200 nau- tical miles) from St. John’s, Nfld.
