The number of applicants for Hum 105, the University's one credit course involving work in a Loeb production, has risen to 380--more than seven times the number that will ultimately be admitted.
Daniel Seltzer, associate professor of English and associate director of the Loeb, insisted yesterday that no more than the 35-45 people originally slated for the course can be accepted. Applications have been cut off, and interviews for the course will be completed Tuesday.
Names of students admitted, and of the Shakespeare play to be produced, will be announced before Thanksgiving. But the list of possible plays has already been narrowed down to Midsummer Night's Dream, Coriolanus, Measure for Measure, and Richard III.
The course will not discriminate between students with and without experience, Seltzer said. A small number of graduate students may be admitted as well.
Seltzer describes Hum 105 "as an experimental course designed to combine academic study with actual work in the theatre."
