A recent survey predicts cost of a year at a coeducational college will likely be $3,065 in 1980, compared with 1972's average cost of $2,000. By the year 2000 that cost could be as high as $8,735, By LEVEDA SMITH Staff Writer The Fantasticks has arrived. A near-capacity audience attended the opening night performance of this charming musical Thursday in the Logansport State Hospital auditorium. By far the best characterizations of the evening came from Jim Odom and Richard Harris, who portrayed the fathers of the ill-fated lovers, and Jack Myers and Ralph Fox, the comical itinerant players who liven the.

production with their pratfalls and tomfolery. Odom, who -plays Bellomy, father of Luisa, is a. past president of the Civic Players and a veteran of the Logansport stage. Harris, who plays Hucklebee, father of Matt, has appeared in several Civic Players musicals. Myers, another trooper in good standing, does an excellent job creating the character of Henry, an elderly thespian who remembers lines, but not the play to which tl iey belong.

Fox, who acts as Henry's assistant, Mortimer, is perfect as the man who dies on cue, complete with death spasms and fatal twitch, then revives to watch the show. Sheila Cody does a good job as the mute, a living stage prop who interprets and narrates the production with her hands and body. Mrs. Cody also served as choreographer for The Fan- tasticks, as she has done for seven Civic Players musicals. Mike Williams, vocal narrator and bandit, is a sporadic El Gallo, slipping in and out of character.

Perhaps his trouble Thursday night was aided and abetted by an accident in rehearsal which left him with a severely sprained left ankle. As a result, Mrs. Cody had to take his place in the crucial Rape Ballet. Also troubled by characterization were Linda Mitrovich, who played Luisa, and John Reed, who appeared as Matt. As the ill-starred lovers, whose fathers plot to make them fall in love, then spill the beans and make them fall out of love, both Miss Mitrovich and Reed seemed to have a case of opening night jitters, affecting both their involvement in -their characters and their vocal talents.

On the whole, however, it was an adequate production of one of off-Broadway's gems. Odom and Harris projected their characters particularly well during two musical sets based on their troubles with their offspring. The first, Never Say details the reverse psychology Jhey used in bringing their children together; the second, Plant A Radish, compares the dependability of a garden, wherein a planted radish seed always produces a radish, to the independability of children, and the fact that parents never know what they've planted "until the seed is nearly grown." Also effective Thursday were the Rape Ballet, in which bandits threaten to kidnap Luisa, and Matt slays them all to become a hero, and Round and Round, in which El Gallo the world, pointing out its hilarity and its horrors enroute. Other memorable songs from The Fantasticks include Try To Remember, Soon It's Gonna Rain, and There Were You. Producer-director Joe Lunsford did a commendable job in this, his first directing effort.

He managed to take a group of amateur players and an amateur production and meld them into a cohesive presentation. The Fantasticks will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Logansport State Hospital auditorium. Tickets are available at the door. Mrs.
