Hartsock Levels Attack
On AC Campus Problems
The executive Board had its an
nual spring dinner last Monday
night at the Holiday Inn. 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.

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<l to grant tlie
gift to the library after learning
of the lacking periodical situation.
Upon receiving the gift Otis Coe
field, librarian, state<i, “Speaking
for the library staff and the Library
Committe and everyone interested in
building up the library I want to ex
press my gratitude for this gift from
the Cooperative Associaion.” Coefiled
went on to say that the new ma
terial received will be of great value
for research and that it will do
much to supplement book material.
He said that much of the new ma
terial will go back past 1900 and
that this would make or periodical
section much more effective.
The hope was expressed by Coe
field that a time will come when a
microfilm reading room would be set
up.
