Top-notch Performance Fred Taylor plays the part of Ensign Pulver to the hilt and turns in one of the best perform- ances ever seen at the Barn. Rob- erts worries about him because he never finishes anything he starts — not even “God's Little Acre.” Pulver, officer in charge of laun- dry and morale, is mostly con- cerned with keeping out of the Captain’s sight and with girls. He inveigles Lt. Girard, an Ar- my nurse, aboard the AK601 for a drink of Scotch, only to have his plans upset when the crew gets in- to an argument about whether or The whiskey, incidentally, was concocted by Roberts, Pulver and the Doe from alcohol with coke to give it the right color, and: iodine and hair tonic to give it the right taste.

He is sort of a father confessor for the young of- |ficers and the crew, and frequent- |ly acts as a buffer between them and the Captain. Gunderson’s per- formance is sympathetic and very | well done.

He said police told him the car “was | obstructing traffic” and that it had | been towed to the police station. “The car was parked legally have pushed it out into the street if it was parked illegally,” Stickel said. Stickel also wondered why he} wasn’t given a ticket if he was parked illegally.
