Superstar Appears At University Hall

"Jesus Christ: Superstar" will be
presented by the University Union on
Wednesday, December 1, at University Hall.
The road show company, which opened in
Pittsburgh last July, will give two performances
at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

The University Union expects to complete
negotiations this week for the rock opera
performance. The rock opera is one of the most
elaborate productions ever offered by the
Union. The company consists of a 32-member
cast and a 20-member orchestra.

The rock opera depicts the crucifixion of
Christ. The play was derived from the album
written by Andrew Webber and Tim Rice.

Tickets for the two performances will go on
sale on Thursday, November 4. The tickets can
be purchased at the main desk of Newcomb
Hall or at Mincer's for $4.50. Seats will not be
reserved. Only 5,100 tickets will be sold for
each performance.

The road show production that is coming to
the University "has sold out every place" it has
been according to John Herring, director of
Newcomb Hall.

Wiretapping 'Essential'

Virginia Attorney Lewis F. Powell,
nominated to the Supreme Court, said today
that carefully regulated wiretapping was
essential in the fight against organized crime.

In a letter to Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., Mr
Powell said he became convinced, as a member
of the National Crime Commission, of the need
for legislation to outlaw all private and
unauthorized surveillance and to allow, under
carefully prescribed safeguards, court ordered
surveillance in specified criminal cases.

Noting that the 1968 Omnibus Crime Bill
adopted such measures, Mr. Powell said he still
considers "it essential both to protect the
public against unauthorized wiretaps and
bugging and to give law enforcement a better
opportunity to combat the scourge of
organized crime-a type of crime which preys
primarily upon the ignorant, the afflicted, and
the impoverished."

Public hearings on the nominations of Mr.
Powell and Assistant Attorney General William
H. Rehnquist will open a week from today.

In a "Dear Birch" letter Mr. Powell said
Attorney General John N. Mitchell had asked
him to provide copies of speeches and articles
made in recent years.

He sent copies of two speeches and one
article to Mr. Bayh, "In view of your special
interest in the subject of electronic
." Mr. Powell said it would be
inappropriate for him to expand on his views
"In view of the probability that these and
related issues, will come before the court."
