[held at Western Michigan
[University on Dec. 2 and 3.
The arguments used to validate the recommendation were:
1. Resumption    of    classes
benefits • which could be  derived from this holiday.
3. Early resumption of
classes will necesitate certain
students to 'depart from their
homes • at an unreasonable,
not to mention, inconvenient
time.
4. Since the University of
Michigan, and Michigan State
University return on Jan. 3,
1962, the difference in time
will inconvenience both instate students with respect
to transportation.

Keefer, 1961 graduate, will be
presented Tuesday, Dec. - 12,
with performances at 7:30 and

The play takes place on the
campus of a small church col- '
lege, and the plot is, "What
happens when a man comes' in
to an- institution with ideas
which are not accepted by the
institution?" .
The authors used original material because they could not
find material with a suitable
theme. Originally the play had
a different setting, but the authors revised it because they
were more familiar with a uni- ;
versity setting.
This is the first play either
of ihe authors have ever written. Titus is president of Alpha Psi Omega, honorary dra-

Students, City
Hold Meeting
A College-Town meeting was
held on Dec. 2 in the University Center, composed of civic
leaders and campus leaders,
both administrators and students. The purpose of the meeting was'to help improve the relations that exist between the
University and townspeople.
The agenda included topics
such as:
1. How might the students
become better citizens within
the community?
2. To what extent can we improve the maintenance and
cleaning of the streets and sidewalks?
3. How might the town merchants appeal more to the college market.
■ 4. To what extend can we increase the number of jobs for
college students.
5. How might we better improve relations and communications between the townspeople and the University.
It was stated that the University is upgrading the sidewalks
that are below the water line,
and that in the winter time are
skating rinks. The city had a
program for this a few years
back, but as more pressing issues came up, it had to be
dropped. When the winter
weather comes, bringing snow
and ice, the city will see that
College and Main streets are on
the priority list, because of the
heavy use by university students.

that   ihey  did  not  want  to
