Under the reform act, aliens who can_ prove they have lived in the Uruted States since before 198 2 may seek a temporary residency status for the right to work, and later seek permanent residency. . INS will start taking applica- tions on May 5, and continue for one year. Marco Rodriguez, of Centro de Asuntos Migratorios in Ch 1 v· u a ista, advised that aliens start now to collect documents that ma prove their. residency in the U.S~ rent or ut1hty bill receipts, letters addressed to them, employment records or income tax forms, even names and addresses of witnesses .

Students will study dramatic literature with USD professors, while practicing their craft with Old globe actors and directors, ultimately performing in Old globe productions. Students also will serve as consultants to USD's undergraduate drama classes. According to Hay, individual attention will be a hallmark of the course. "We will design a program of study for each of the students that will take advan- tage of their strengths and bolster their weaknesses - making them the best, most flexible, most useable working actors we can possibly devel- op." All students in the program receive full tuition fellowships from USD worth approximately $8,400 a year. In addition, second-year students also re- ceive a weekly stipend. Addi- .tional financial aid is available through USD for those who qualify. )

University of San Diego (USD) are collaborating m offering a master of fine arts degree in dramatic arts. The program, slated to begin in the fall semester, offers practical theat- rical work at the Globe and academic studies with the USD English Department. The two-year, 60-unit course of study will involve seven students initially, with subse- quent enrollment not to exceed 15. The only academic re- quirement for acceptance into the program is an undergradu:. ate degree. Acceptance also is based on written applications, as well as auditions to be held in New York, Chicago , Los Angeles and San Diego. Dr. David Hay, an associate d!rector of the Old Globe, is director of the ·program, which will be overseen by a three- person panel composed of Hay, Old Globe executive producer Craig Noel, and Dr. Barton Thurber, chairman of the USD
