Even the actors in smaller roles play them with relish. Only Charles Keckler, in the Peter Lorre role of Dr. Einstein, hits a sour note because of the incomprehensible polyglot accent that mars his Lorre imitation...

It is incorrect, however, to assert that this is the only function that the council can and should perform. Council history has shown that representing student interests and promoting social life are not incompatible goals of student government...
