I mean, does anyone have a blind date with Lulu Smith? ST. MARY’S BOASTS SEMI-FINALIST John Gielgud’s production of Ham let, with Richard Burton playing the role of Hamlet, was shown recently at the Ambassador Theater. The play came directly from Broadway through the new electronovision process of Theatrofllm. This particular production of Ham let was unique in that no period scenery or costumes were used. The scenery consisted of a crude stage, a table, a couple of chairs, and a flight of stairs; the costumes were unglam- orous, beatnic type clothes of the 60’s. Although the lack of scenery and costumes was disconcerting at first, the end effect was that the viewer paid closer attention to the words and actions of the actors. Elizabeth Anderson Keller has been named a Semifinalist in the 1964-1965 Merit Scholarship compe tition, through her outstanding per formance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This test of educational development was given in more than 17,000 high schools last March. Elizabeth was among 14,000 seniors throughout the country who attained Semifinalist status. The Semifinalist group is com posed of the highest scoring students in each state and in the United States territories. Each Semifinalist now moves a step closer to winning a four-year Merit Scholarship to the college of his choice. Semifinalists must substantiate their qualifying test performance on a second exam ination, be endorsed by their schools, and fulfill certain routine require ments to become finalists. All Merit Scholars are selected from the Einal- ist group. “Semifinalists are represen tatives of our country’s most intel lectually able young people,” said John M. Stalnaker, president of the National Merit Scholarship Corpora tion. We congratulate Elizabeth for this achievement, and wish her much success in becoming a National Merit Einalist. In literary terms, Hamlet is a trag edy, but the performance of Richard Burton and Hume Cronyn (Polon- ius) brought more laughs than tears from the audience. Shakespeare’s double meanings combined with the actor’s expressions made the play more amusing than a simple reading of it. These witty lines seemed also AUGUSTINE Canterbury Club izes For Year Organ to lessen the melancholy atmosphere associated with Hamlet. Richard Burton has been acclaim ed by many critics to be the greatest Hamlet of all times and the finest Shakespearian actor in the world. He certainly proved this in Hamlet — his performance was superb. During Chapel the Rev. Philip C. Cato, the head of college work at N. C. State College, announced that the Canterbury Club at State had been disbanded. Formerly, St. Mary’s students had been attending Canter bury at State College, but now the St. Mary’s Canterbury Club will op erate only at St. Mary’s. However, St. Mary’s girls are invited to take part in the many activities of the Episcopal Church on Campus at State. These activities are many and var ied, and the dates and times for them will be announced at St. Mary’s. Two study groups are being held at the King Religious Center on State campus on Wednesday nights. At 6:30 p.m. an Ecumenical Study Group is held, and at 9:30 p.m. a group is studying systematic theol ogy. An opportunity for service is the tutoring project held at Ligon High School here in Raleigh. The college students will tutor the high school students every Tuesday and Wed nesday at 4:00 p.m. On Sunday nights during the year various speak ers will be coming to lecture on sub jects of interest such as existential ism. The dates for the speakers will be announced later. Out-of-town re treats will take place in the fall and in the spring. Also six seminars are being held at the conference center at Hampton, Va., on various week ends throughout the year. The Canterbury Club at St. Maiy’s will also be busy with several pro jects this year. Members of the club will visit the elderly ladies at St. Luke’s Home, and will sell St. Mar\’’s blazers.

IMPROVEMENTS ON CAMPUS By Zan Deas Everyone returned this Hh to St. Mary’s beginning the — -lany caffiP' Two apparently remote stimuli are responsible for the focal point of this article; New College, an experi mental college oponing this year in Sarasota, Florida, and — of all things — the seniors’ summer reading. The common denominator is a specific principle in education — self-motiva tion and determination. According to a pamphlet on New College, “the function of a college is to teach students those skills and those attitudes that will permit them to educate themselves. Everything that does not contribute to this end is a waste of precious time.” This idea is the reason behind New Col lege. It is literally a community of scholars working in intellectual co ordination. Students will proceed at the pace which will lead to the max imum mental and spiritual develop ment. The basic idea behind New Col lege is not unknown or unpracticec at St. Mary’s. In fact, the seniors found this applied self-motivation to be detrimental to many last flings planned for the month of August' Certainly summer reading was tfio test of tests; on trial was not ability but a purpxise thus far o® velopied in the individual’s education^ al life time.
