ACLU Has Asked Supreme Court To Examine Students’ Rights Washington, D.C. (CPS) Asserting that “college stu dents are entitled to the identi cal First Amendment protec tions bn thexampus as they or any other citizen would have in the community-at-large,” the American Civil Liberties Union asked the Supreme Court to review two cases: one involving demonstrations in side campus buildings, the other involving official recog nition of student political or ganizations. If the court agrees to hear the cases, it will mark the first time in 37 years that the Jus tices have addressed them selves to freedom of speech and assembly for college stu dents. The ACLU noted that “by virtue of the 26th amendment, almost every college student is now fully enfranchised and entitled to participate in the political process.” Two years ago the Court ruled that a high school stu dent could wear a black arm band during moratorium activ ities in Tinker Vs.

Curtain is at 8:00 p.m. at Lipinsky Student Center Auditorium. see related story on page 5 “Oresteia” depicts the cycle of murders that begins when Clytemnestra kills her hus band Agamemnon on his re turn from the Trojan War. Agamemnon’s, Orestes, from whose name the title of the play is derived, avenges his father’s death by killing his mother, only to be driven mad by the Furies. The production is staged with a tribal concept, accord ing to director Arnold Wen- grow, and emphasizes the sound and movement of the chorus. “We are using the adapta tion by John Lewin that was written for the Tyrone Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in order to try modern tech niques of staging that may convey the theatricality of Greek drama better than traditional methods,” said Wengrow. The large cast features Donna Glick of Port Republic, Va., as Clytemnestra, Rob Storrs of Richmond, Va., as Agamemnon, Mary Ann Lam- pley of Hendersonville as Electra, and Michael Meagher of Nashua, N.H. as Orestes. Tickets for “Oresteia” are $2,00 regular, $1.25 for stu dents and will be on sale at the door.
