This is the picture that the general public has of opera.” Many people ar e initiated into the world of opera by the Turneau Opera Players and find Guidelines For New Clubs Laid Any group planning to or ganize a new club or organi zation must present to the Director of Student Affairs, in writing, a proposed constitu tion setting forth the plans and purpose of the new organiza tion.
