Angel Street
Presented
The play "Angel Street” by
Patrick Hamilton is a moving
meladrama set in the late
1800’s. Mrs. Manningham, mag-
nificantly portrayed by Betty
Gayle Barkett, is slowly being
driven out of her mind by her
insane husband, as played by
Ed Cheshire. He might have
succeed had not Leon Rippy, in
a marvelous performance as the
Inspector, come on the scene
precisely at the right moment.
The plot is enhanced as Elizabeth
(Ellen Foster), an elderly maid,
and Nancy (Cam Culpepper), a
flirtatious young girl, scheme
to help Mrs. Manningham.
The audience is held in sus
pense until the third act when
all the clues to the mystery of
Hr. Manningham’s strange be
havior are tossed together to re
veal a dramatic conclusion. The
viewers become emotionally in
volved and no one leaves the
performance in the same frame
of mind that they entered in.
Highly emotional and wonder
fully directed by Mark Stiel,
“Angel Street” will make an im
pression on those who see it
that will not soon be forgotten.

The Conspiracy
(Parti)
—Ed. Note:
The following is part one of
a two-part study of the trial of
the Chicago Eight. This week
the events leading up to the
trial.
All the unmuzzeled passions,
unconsolable frustration and
polorizing hatreds plaguing the
Repubhc surged to the surface
in the guarded streets, chaotic
hotels and security-taut Inter
national Amphetheatre in Chic
ago, a city transformed by fear
and force into an oppresive
garrison camp. All that week the
nightmarish scenes swirled a-
cross the nations televisions
screens: helmeted cops flailing
teenagers into the bloody pave
ment of Michigan Avenue;
Chicago’s Mayor jeering a U. S.
Senator at the podium; and a
young girl silently holding up a
sign reading WELCOME TO
PRAGUE.
The social history of this time
will most likely dwell on the
guns and billy clubs of August-
the clear confontation between
the young and often anarchy of
change and the clumsy and
often vicious defenders of, the
status-quo, one of those pivotel
conflicts that leaves no one en
tirely untouched.
Mayor Daley vowed that no
one would take over “his”
streets, by this he means “Chic
ago.” The entire police force,
nearly 12,000 men were ordered
onto twelve hour shifts; 5,650
Illinois National Guardsmen
were called for possible rein
forcement, and 5,000 more
guardsmen were put on alert;
7,000 army troops equiped with
rifles, flamethrowers, and bazoo
kas, logistical units were already
in place.
The tragedy of it all was that
little of the violence was inevit
able. THERE WERE, TO BE
SURE, EXTREMISTS AND PRO-
VOCATURS LACED AMONG
THE CROWDS, BUT THE MAJ
ORITY OF THE DEMONSTRAT
ORS WERE THOROUGHLY
PACIFIC HIPPIES AND ERN
EST ANTI-WAR PROTESTERS.
They never numbered more
than 10,000-less than half the
number of cops, federal men,
and guardsmen ready to move
against them. Some clearly had
come to raise hell,, but most
would surely have been content
to stage rallies and marches. Yet
Daley ruled, nearly all of these
things out, and the cop’s billies
turned the streets into cruel
chaos. Against the pacific Array
of dissidents, Daley’s security
forces seemed ludicrously out
of proportion.
In the Daley report it states
that at police headquarters, the
city displayed what it called a
“sophisticated” array of wea
pons used by the demonstrators.
It included a pingpong ball stud
ded with nails, a jar containing
two black widow spiders, bricks,
broken-bottles and a razor blade.
About 100 such weapons were
exhibited-hardly an overwhelm
ing arsenal for 10,000 “terror
ists”. The principle flaw in the
Daley report is that while con
centrating on the admitted pro
vocation to police by many of
the youths, it virtually ignores
the savegery of police in attack
ing demonstrators, newsmen and
onlookers alike. The most Daley
would concede is that “some
innocent bystenders may have
been injured” in one police

Free
School
Students:
A planning session for a free
school will be held this Satur
day, the 21st, in Howerton Cafe
teria at 8:45. This planning sess
ion will determine student in
terest in a “school” which pre
pares the student for his stupes
ahead of time.
We shall discuss:
1. The students’ role in rais
ing academic standards.
2. The individual student’s
role in helping other students
acquire a grasp on difficult
material.
3. Possibility of weekly sem
inars, on specific studies, con
ducted by interested individuals.
4. Ideas which others may
have to awaken student interest
in an academic experience.
This project can not be made
possible without student sup
port.
Sincerely,

Survey
STUDENTS WERE ASKED:
What do you think of the new
format in which the Cavalier is
presented?
1. Louis Anderson-I think it is
better than before.
2. Sylvia Holt- I think the
whole paper stinks!
3. Gerry McDade-W h a t’ s
different about it.
4. Joyce Garner-It’ll do in a
rush.
5. Randy Chambers-PAR.
6. Anonymous-Jokes, short
stories, gossip column, car
toons, and photos of coll
ege hfe, other than couples.
7. Bill Harrill-We’re now read
ing about the things we’re
interested in reading about.
8. Leon Rippy-I thought
“Freedom of the press”
was still around! Why
don’t you exercise it!!
9. Jenks Smith-It’s too short
and there is nothing of ,
real interest to me. My
column also has been ex
cluded.
10. Bill Owings-The paper
needs to be lengthened and
should involve the students
more in the articles. We
need more school activi
ties.
11. Rosemary Armstrong-I feel
that it has improved. I
think it’s great that the
students are interesed in
taking their time and
efforts to put out a paper
for their school. It shows
that students do want to
get involved with college
life which is very import
ant in shaping the whole
person.
12. Anonymous-I feel that the
■ paper is a lot more inter
esting. I enjoy reading it
now.
13. John Witherspoon- It’s
different and the use of
more pictures makes it
more appealing. However
the staff should change it’s
printer.
14. Anonymous-I think there
should be more content.
The one page is okay
though.
15. Alice Cook-When compar
ed to other college news
papers, it leaves a lot to be
desired.
