'Becket' opens · Thursday; cast, crewprepare Performances of the Theatre Arts Department's production of Jean Anouilh's " Becket," the story of the clash of power between King Henry II of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket, begin next Thursday evening in the drama lab (P-33). House manager Joanne Musia is taking reservations now for the April10 , 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 performances. Admission will be $2.50 for non-students and .$1.50 fQr students. As rehearsals progress, under the direction of Buddy Ashbrook, the technical crews are completing work on the set, the props, the lights and the sound. Jim Hawn , who works as Shop and Construction Supervisor for the department, has been named stage manager. Working under him will be prop master John Plemmons and a stage crew including Mike Mahlstedt (assistant stage manager), and Phil Day. Dr. N.E. Gaskins , technical director of productions and instructor of the technical classes, reports that "my biggest problem right now is costumes." After the costumes arrive from Rubie's Costumes, costumes mistress Maureen Hawn and her crew - Cindie Hall and Cindy Young- will prepare them for use in the production. Tim Hays is the light and sound technician, and his job is to create a lighting plan for the play and then to carry it out. His crew includes Dave Colter at the sound board and Steve Atkinson, Cindi Gowdy, Perry Lohman and Jose Rodriguez working the lights. Hays reports that, compared to previous productions, " 'Becket' seems like an easy show for lights. The biggest problem in the lighting is creating the right mood for the play." Some special lighting effects are being used, especially for Becket's tomb. Gaskins reports, "we'll probably use blue and green gels for the cold atmosphere for the tomb. " Special effects required for the set includes a tent effect, a campfire effect and a catafalque, which is a tomb with a stone effigy on top. Hawn adds that "This time we're custom building a lot of the furniture." However, despite the large amount of special effects and extra scenery needed for this production, Hawn says that his biggest problem is not in creating the effects, but is a lack of stage crew help. He urges, "Anyone interested in becoming involved with theater should come help build the set. As always happens, we've come down to the final wire and we're not quite done."

Bostic. Born in Washington in 1937, he graduated from high school in Morocco, eventually coming to California where he attended Palomar. Following his graduation from San Diego State in 1964, he returned to Palomar as an instructor. "If I ever made any contribution to this school," said Eugene Stevens, life science instructor,"it was in hiring Dennis."Stevens was science department chairman at the time Bostic was hired. Lester Knapp, biology instructor, spoke next, recalling the help Bostic gave him when Knapp was new at Palomar. Following a selection performed by the Palomar Chorale under the direction of Joe Stanford, board member Lucy Bayne spoke of memories gathered on one of Bostic's Baja expeditions. "He was just like a kid," she said, referring to Bostic's enthusiasm for his subject." ... Once I remember when Den-
nis ran across a whale vertebra, which he had to have. Two students helped him hoist it onto his back. Then he trudged down the beach, hot and thirsty, but thrilled with his bony treasure." Bayne's lighthearted memories of Bostic's well-known trips brought smiles of remembrance to many in the gathering. Margaret Stinson, student, explained what it was like to take a class from Bostic. She said he made his classes so enjoyable, that students often didn't realize Bostic was using "devious tactics" to " sneakily slip biology in." The Dennis Bostic Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established to assist students in the life sciences. According to J. Frank Hankin, financial aids officer, about $600 has been contributed so far. Further information about the scholarship may be obtained through the financial aids office.
