WLU receives OK for building Two plays are performed at UW These two one-act come- dies are considered by some critics to be among Feydeau's masterpieces, written towards the end of his career. Although he wrote them in 1911. both are astonishingly modern in form and content. They have been translated by William Chadwick and directed by Maarten van Dijk, both faculty mem- bers of UW's Drama Group. As far as is known, they are being performed for the first time in English in Canada on March 15 to 19 in the Humanities Theatre at8p.m. Late in his career, Fey- deau also produced a series of very 'popular one-act comedies. but unfortunately "I should like to make very clear that this is not an expansion. This is-replac- ing inadequate space with adequate space," said Dr. The Drama Group, Uni- versity of Waterloo is pre- senting an evening of hilar- ious theatre with two new- ly -- translated Feydeau masterpieces, "Good God Darling, Not in the Nude!" and "Leonie's Jumped the Gun". Construction of. a new building to house the school of business and economics and the. faculty of social work at Wilfrid Laurier Uni- versity (WLU) has been ap- proved by the ministry of colleges and universities. Georges Feydeau 41862- 1921). the great French writer of farce is known to the English-speaking world mainly by two or three of his brilliantly funny full- length comedies-“Hotel Paradiso" and "A Flea in Her Ear" are two examples.

The ministry considers the new building to be a replacement for much of the temporary unsatisfac- tory and rented space now used by the university. Twenty portable class- room units and several old- er houses along Bricker Street are presently used for teaching and faculty of- fices.

The new building will cov- er approximately 73,000 square feet, about the same size as the five-storey central teaching building on campus. -- Dr. Peters said the tem- porary buildings now in use will gradually be elimin- ated as the new building is erected. He hopes to elimin- ate most of the temporary space. but does not think all of it could be surrender- In approving the replace- ment building, the ministry noted that WLU has the greatest space deficiency of Otttario's 15 universities. Proposals for the new structure have been under consideration since .the university became a public university. capital expenditures was instituted and since WLU became a public univer- sity in 1973, the university has received no building capital grants.
