presented Shakespeare's "A
Midsummer Night's Dream,"

torium. The play will also
be presented tonight and
Saturday at 8 p.m.
Three threads are woven
into the fabric of the comedy.
The first of these concerns the
pending marriage of Theseus,
duke of Athens, to Hippolyta,
queen of the Amazons. To
Theseus comes Egeus, who asks
that his daughter, Hermia, be
compelled to marry Demetrius
or choose between death or the
nunnery.
The second thread deals
with the efforts of a group of-
Athenian tradesmen, Bottom
the weaver, Quince the carpenter, Snug the joiner and
others, to prepare a play for
presentation at the celebration
of the duke's nuptials*
The final thread concerns a
dispute between Oberon, king
of the fairies, and Titania, his
queen. The three aspects of
the play are brought together
when Hermia and Lysander
meet in the woods to escape
from Athenian law.

'Action  by  Student  Senate
Monday night included a resolution calling for a joint committee to implement a planned
program of course evaluation;
The • committee   would   include the- Educational Awareness   Committee   of   Student
Senate and four faculty members approved by the University  Senate.  They  would be
charged with planning and
implementing the program. .
The plan, if approved by
Student Senate, University
Senate and the office of the
President would be put into
effect next semester.
The    resolution    presented

"l^evealTan instructor
fomebasl faults in his meth-
Xof teaching. It could also
make the students aware of
£g? responsibilities hi actively participating in then
which could be better
by persons more gua ^
ourselves. The-Onw^  ^

cisms still remains with the
faculty. In short faculty rating
as such is incidental and the
effectiveness of the entire educational process is our chief
concern."
The course evaluation committee, if formed* will concentrate on defining their reasons
for such an evaluation, formulating a standard evaluation
form, collecting faculty and
student opinion; on the pro-'
gram, providing for the printing and, distribution of such a
form and taking other action
for the success of the program.
Other measures acted upon
by Student Senate included...
The formation of an organizational award, to be called
the D. Louise Sharp Award,
given in May of each-yeat to a
student who .contributed- most
to the name of CMU ...
