ItUke
J The question this week is; “Are
,| you in favor of the curfew
i;'changes (1 a.m. for up-
51 perclassmen, 12 midnight for
ijlieshmen) for women resident
I sWents?” A number of student

Rock Mass idiom, father Uan

TV, has performed in the largest
cathedrals in the country, and is
further identified with Steve
McQueen and their work among
the Navajo Indians.

“Folk Song Mass” and a “Folk
Requiem” for use by the Roman
Catholic Church.

priest, and his wife Caroline, both
sing, while Father Ian ac
companies on guitar. Reviewers
have remarked on the “enrap
tured expressions on upturned
faces as the audience sat en
chanted” — on Caroline’s “lyric
voice, very pure and clear. She
gives the Music life in the folk
manner.”
The Mitchells have toured
Okinawa and Japan as well as the
United States.

EVEN FACULTY MEMBERS DO IT. A member of ACC’s
faculty rolls the ball during one of the regular bowling bouts held
by faculty teams. Obviously, however, she was so engrossed
with the direction of her bowling ball that she failed to notice the
ever-roving eye of staff photographer Ben Casey.

Girls May Visit
Men’s Residence
With the opening of school after
spring break, April 7, womer
may visit the lounge anc
television areas of the men’s
residence halls, Hackney Hal)
and Waters Hall.
The new policy, as proposed by
the Student Life Committee and
passed by the Administrative Cou
cil stipulates that between the
hours of 12 noon and 11 p.m..
women may visit the prescribed
areas as guest of male residents
of the halls.
Lt is the hope that the new
policy will help decongest the
lobbies of the women’s halls, and
by doing so improve the decor o!
the men’s halls.
