Attending the dinner were several guests. Guest speaker for the evening was Dr. Mildred Hartsock. Richard Surles introduced Dr. Hartsock who began her speech by saying that her very age compelled her not to talk about the past but about the present and the future. Dr. Hartsock stated that there were a number of things occuring on campus that had been disturb ing to her and she said, “It strikes me at times that there is too big a chasm between what we profess Shakespeare^s ^The Comedy of Errors' Is Presented By ACC^s Stage & Script By FRED BARBER The last three days of this week will see our campus transofrmed with paint, plywood, and flats. Yes, again this year Mr. Willis and the Stage and Script Drama club are preparing the campus for the an nual Shakespearian Festival. The play this year will be “The Comedy of Errors” and any student who is of the belief that all of old Will’s plays are somber and tragic should see this riotous comedy. I assure you, your opinion will change. The play, which will be presented on center campus this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, concerns the mix up which occures when two sets of twins both turn up in the same town, at the same time. The twins were separated at birth, now one group comes to the town where the other group of twins live. The results are unbelieveable and very funny. Servants, wives friends, mer chants and many others mistake one twin for the other. Students who are in the play are, John Grady, Fred Edwards, Dotty Wyman, Bill Leigh, and Fred Bar ber. Two years ago the festival was one of the most successful student ventures of the whole year Mr. Wil liams believes this year’s festival will tell the same story. Mr. Louis Wright will give a lec ture on Shakespeare and the Vocal Enselble will sing several English folk ballots to add to the festival at mosphere. COMEDY OF ERRORS—Shown above, left to right, are John Grady, Alice Coltrain, and Allen Thornburg, all characters in the Shake spearean play “Comedy of Errors” which is being presented this week during the annual Shakespearean Festival. and what we do.” She said that one of the things which had bothered her was the outcome of the Honor Policy vote and she hoped that the campus leaders would not accept the vote by the students as the final word in the matter. In connection with this she said we need a close and fully coopera tive look at the campus rules with a degree of common sense. She purposed a thorough view of the regulations with the idea of mak ing them more realistic. Dr. Hartsock continued by say ing, “We need to upgrade our cam pus living.” The area of her great est concern she said were the type of dances being held and felt that there were two main things wrong with them, (1) was the blare of un believable noise that made it im possible to say anything to anyone, and (2) was the fact that some of the dances are imatative of the sexual act and are repulsive to those who watch it. On this matter she said, “I be- live that college students ought to want something better than that. I am sad that sensativity is no longer present and has been replaced by animalistic acts. I would like to even see a dance at which a boy would dance with someone he didn’t come with.” Dr. Hartsock went on to say that freedom of expression is very nec essary and that controversy is high ly important for intellectual growth. She added that you can fight with people and still like them, and that we must have a mutal respect for each other in order to be effective. She said, “We have to fight like hell but on the issues and not on personalities.” An $1100 gift was presented to the ACC Library by the Executive Board this week on Blue-W h i t e Day. The money will be used to obtain back issues of pericxlicals in order to build up the files and to purchase microfilm of back issues. The gift was decided upon by the Executive Board after some dis cussion had taken place on what to do with extra money in a special savings, accout. Tlie money is this account was to have been used ori ginally towards the construction of a student union. Since plans by the college now call for the construc tion of a student union, the Plxecu- tive Board decide
