The American director of the monastery, Richard Baker, 32, is a Berkeley graduate who specialized in Oriental studies.

She answers that his wife has been sick, indeed had to be bled. But Orgon is interested only in hearing about Tartuffe, the religious man he has gathered into his home...
Dudley House, under the leadership of Master Thomas E. Crooks '49 and Joe West '70, has organized the cabaret, which it hopes to continue on Saturday nights throughout the year.
