Highland Players Stage "Tartuffe,”
Costumed Comedy Ends Saturday
This week the Highland Players
are presenting “Tartuffe,” a sa
tirical comedy by French play
wright Jean Baptiste Poquelin de
Moliere.
While enjoying the projection,
which is also Happening n, fresh
man English students will see!:
an insight into Moliere’s purpose
for and theme of the play.
After reading “Tartuffe” and
seeing it produced in the Liberal
Arts Auditorium this week, the
students will write a critical paper
on it, or a paper treating an as
pect of the play and applying it to
modern times.
In this comedy, Tartuffe is a
hypocritical rogue, who uses his
wits and charm to win complete
control over the rich Orgon. Des
pite the protests of his son, Damis,
and brother-in-law, Cleante, Or
gon orders his lovely daughter
Marianne to marry Tartuffe In
stead of the dashing young Valere.
But Orgon’s wife, Elmlre, and
Dorlne, the maid, expose Tartuffe
for a scheming fake, just In the
nick of time.
Madame Pernelle, Fllpote, Mon
sieur Loyal, and the police officer
all contribute to the fun.
Senator Wyatt has stated that
this bill will probably appear be
fore the Senate in its new form
before the end of the semester.
Wyatt says that the bill now in
process will reappear In a more
conservative form, expressing
more exactly the desires of the
student body.
Wyatt has said that It is his
main objective in seeking the Vlce-
Presldency to consolidate a better
representation of student ideas.
The students’ thoughts need to be
“sought out.” The students have
too long thought of their senators
ae being too apathetic.
Wyatt would resolve this pro
blem by means of a dorm forum.
In this manner, some dorms will
successfully learn the Ideas of
their students. He calls for “more
open” Senate meetings, in the
sense that more students come
and observe the work done by
their senators.
Senator Wyatt places less sig
nificance on parliamentary pro
cedure than he does on the “feel
ings” of the senators. By holding
procedure to its bare minimum, he
feels that the senators will be more
fully able to reflect their views.
Wyatt has stated that the success
of the Senate depends upon the
senatorial caliber of Its members.
The more dependable students In
the Senate, the better it will be.
He feels that the existing class
officers are lost manpower. Be
cause of the difficulty In main
taining class unity on a campus
which is built around a dormi-
Tranquilizing?
Dr. Calvin A. VanderWerf, who
was scheduled to be on St. An
drews’ campus several weeks ago,
will be here March 6. The will
speak on “The Tranquilizlng
Drugs!” Refer to THE LANCE,
issue number 10, page 1.
tory structure, the significance
of class officers has been lost.
Wyatt thinks that if the class
officers above the freshman class
level were abolished, these people
would be able to serve the student
body in a much more suitable
capacity.
Pam Neal, corresponding sec
retary of the Senate, has served
previously as a member of the
Budget Committee. This year she
had not been able to serve on a
committee because of the extent
of her duties as secretary.
Pam states that the “Senate
potential” lies within the stu
dent’s wants. She sees this being
fulfilled in a reciprocal obligation
between the senators and the stu
dents. “If the students will not
go the senators with their ideas,
then the senators must go to their
student,” she says.
Senator Neal, who represents
Wilmington Dormitory, Is against
open dorm forums. She believes
that they do not get across the
true ideas of the students, main
ly because no students attend them.
She would solve the dorm senator
responsibilities through suite
meetings.
Miss Neal has discovered ser-
eral fallacies in Senate operations
which need strengthening. She
thinks that the individual Senator
committees need proper organi
zation, that they lack the amount
of work needed to present a bill
in its ready form. “Too many
times,” she says, “has a bill
come to Senate from committee
without enforcements. There is
an insufficient background of ma
terial to convince the senators of
its validity.”
Many times these unprepared
bills, with many loopholes, pass
through the Senate without debate
or argument. This leads to other
problems, she maintains.
The senators are too afraid of
parliamentary procedure, not
knowing whether they are out of
order or not, to speak up when
they have questions on an issue.
She plans to use procedure as a
“tool,” not as a source for mis
conceptions.
Miss Neal has suggested having
PAM NEAL, CORRESPONDING
SECRETARY OF THE SENATE
preliminary meetings with the
newly-elected senators, mock ses
sions that would break senators
into the ways of procedure.
One major new approach that
Miss Neal supports Is “to have
all bills approved by Student Af
fairs before the committee takes
the issue to the Senate.” She
also hopes that the Student Affairs
will reciprocate with the Senate,
understanding that the actions of
the Senate are actually the voice
of the students.
Senator Neal also believes that
there should be some minor chan
ges in the senatorial represen
tation structure. The dorm sena
tors representing Wilmington and
Mecklenburg are not true repre
sentatives of the two dorms.
