Flaniingo Guitarist Manitas De Plata
FainedGuitarist Slated
For Fine Arts Concert
By GAIL YOUNG
Manitas dp Plata, hailed by many critics as the world's
greatest guitar player, will perform in the Fine Arts
Auditorium, Monday, Nov. 20. The concert, sponsored
by tIk* Cultural Affairs Program, will begin at 8 p.m.
An illiterate French gypsy,
De Plata has filled major con
cert halls of Europe and
America again and again and
left audiences clamoring for
more.
His music is flamenco. He
is a self-taught musician who,
at the age of 10, received a
guitar from his father and
taught himself to play it by
sheer absorption: learning from
the instrument itself every
thing it had to teach.
Until 19 65, he refused to go
further than a few miles from
his birthplace near Arles,
France. Two factors prompted
this stubborness. First, he
feared being taken for a ride
by the record companies, and
secondly, he trusted neither

Speaking to Phi Kappa
Literary Society Wednesday
night, Williamson stated that
the complaint also charges that
the voting registrar is "blatant
ly defying the law.”
Williamson recently filed suit
. in the Clarke County Superior
Court concerning his inability
I to register to vote in the city
of Athens. However, the suit
; was placed on the January
docket of the court.
Because this last action
would not allow students to
vote in the upcoming general
election, Williamson said he
contacted the United States
District Attorney of the Middle
I Georgia Federal Court.
The District Attorney ad-
{ vised Williamson to contact the
I Athens Division of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. It was
here that Williamson formally

Un iversily Theater
‘Stoops To Conquer’ Excites Viewers
By SUSAN HARRISON
“She Stoops To Conquer” is one of
the most delightfully entertaining com
edies ever produced by the University
Theater.
Oliver Goldsmith's play, a comedy of
manners, is a rollicking glimpse of eigh
teenth century England. The plot is
based on mistaken identities, caused by
an inveterate prankster, and heightened
by the coyness of the women and the
manners of the men. These manneis
cause confusion by demanding strict
iropr ety with "modest women" and al
lowing robust playfulness with the other
sort of women.
The players communicated easily with
the audience from the opening scenes
of the play and never lost this rapport.
A young man, grinning self-consciously,
wandered out to light the “footlights”
with a taper. All the scene changes were
done by the servants in the play with
much clowning and almost slapstick
comedy.
The action flowed easily with smooth
transitions and effortless dialogue. Dr.
Waal, the director, is largely responsible
for the audience’s obvious enjoyment.
Gn'l Bower’s portrayal of Kate Hard-
rasile was very good although her affect
ed mannerisms and assumed poses got
a bit tiring. However, these were in line
with the characterizations.
Young Marlow and Hastings were
played exceptionally well by Walter
Gray and Edgar flich, respectively. Gray
