OLIVER is a musical adapta-

The musical takes the audience
to early 19th century London
where we first see a typical es
tablishment of that day, the
workhouse, where orphaned
and abandoned children are
kept.
When Oliver has the effront
ery to ask for more food, Mr.
Bumble, keeper of the work
house, sells him to Mr. Sower-
berry, the undertaker. Oliver
runs away from Mr. Sowerber-
ry, and is subsequently taken
in by Old Fagin who takes in
run-away boys and teaches them
to become pick pockets.

The musical score takes us

street vendors, house-maids and
other Londoners express in
song and dance the joys of a
beautiful London morning in

The basic concept of Who’s
can Junior Colleges is to pro
vide a democratic national
basis for the recognition of out
standing campus leaders. This
directory is an unique institu
tion which now includes thous
ands of listing from over 500
schools in all 50 states, and the
District of Columbia.
Only second year college stud
ents are eligible for nomination
and nominations are submitted
annually after selection by
campus nominating committees.
In most cases these committees
are composed of representa
tives of the administration, the
faculty and the student body.
The campus committees are
instructed by the national or
ganization to consider students
who’s academic standing, ser
vice to the community, leader
ship in extracurricular activities
and future potential are decid
edly above average.
