Eighty-nine   men—one   man
liort of a 100 per cent increase
fora   last   fall—registered   for
aternity rushing this year at
tie   Inter   Fraternity   Couneil
ass Rush Party.
IFC   Rush   Chairman   Larry
lliffe   attributes   the   increase
ora last ytar's 45 rushees to 89
en because of better publicity
well-organized rush  committee and a more "Greek-minded
tudent body.
I "Students are beginning io
investigate the Greek system
and fraternity man instead of
^accepting them as the slero-
iype they hav head and read
about," said Olliffe.
Rushees will  have a   chance
d meet fraternity men ;it indi-
|idual   fraternity   ru:h   parlies
his week and nest,
j All men on campus will  be
/cleomed   at   fraternity   open
ouses todav from 7 to 12 p.m.
nd Sunday from 3 to 11 p.m.
"These open   houses," Olliffe
tated, "give students an excel-
•jsnt  opportunity  to  meet   fraternity men and talk to them
^formally. The rush committee
feels* that a ruShee  can learn
oast as much about fraternities
at  an  open   house  as   a   rush
party."
Next   Friday  bids   will   be
accepted,   and   pledging   will
begin.
Jim Cronin, recently elected
chairman for IFC spring rush,
stated he was optimistic about
spring rush. "We should have
one of the largest groups of
rushees ever."

Westminster Chapel. He was
also professor of organ and advanced theory when he was at
Fort Hays Kansas State College.
Next Monday, Oct. 24, the
Student Senate meeting will be
devoted to a discussion of
"what should be the role of
student government on our
campus?"
Any students interested, and
who feel that thev can contribute to the discussion are invited to attend, according to
Tom Fitch, Senate president.
At this week's meeting four
delegates were chosen to attend the Human Relations
Conference al St. Mary's
Camp near Battle Creek. The
four who were chosen are:
Brent Hill. Francis Frank.
Janet Jones and Stanley
Nyirenda.
An evaluation session was
held in which senators were
asked to write out and hand in
any criticisms that they had of
the Senate, its meetings, procedures, etc. These unsigned
evaluations will be discussed at
the next meeting.
A reading theatre production
of Jean Giraudoux's play,
"Tiger at the Gates," is to be
presented Monday at 8 p.m. by
the Department of Speech and
Drama in the University Center
ballroom,
Reading the feminine roles
are Jayne Miller, Sandra Bow-
erman, Marlene Watchko and
Judith Mills. The men participating in the production are
Roger Keel, Jerry Pendrick,
James Cowie, Wayne Bauer,
Roger Merlo, Gordon Hecker,
Robert Burian, John Hanson
and Robert Warren.
The production is the first of
what is hoped to be an annual
interpretative reading festival.
The department has invited one
college from Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio,. Michigan and
Canada to bring student readers
and a guest critic to the campus.
"Tiger at the Gates," the
evening program for the festival, concerns the Trojan War.
Using only platforms and reading stands, the cast will read
the roles, not act them. Dr. Elbert Bowen, professor of speech
and drama, explained, "Reading theatre is not simply watered-down theatre or a rehearsal in which the actors
carry the book. The emphasis
is upon effective line-reading
rather than action."

The After Dinner Opera
Company presented a series of
three one act operettas Tuesday
night in Warriner Aud. All
three were comic opera, and
light, frivolous, often humorous
subjects were used, Common
place characters replaced exalted personages of serious
opera, and light, popular melody replaced the heavy dramatic arias.
In many parts the operetta
ioolc on a nature of parody—
not only of character, but of
more   familiar   tunes   set   to
different words to further ihe
humor. Humor was the main
goal  and  all  parts,  such  as
dialogue,   scenery,   costumes,
and music, were used as devices to add lo the humor.
Satire on serious opera  was
employed   in  places—especially
in   Sweet   Betsy   From   Pike.
When Betsy was shot, it took
her so long to die that any dramatic element that could have
been employed was made to ap-
the basis of beauty
pretation of the theme. In the
beauty catagory. the winner.-
were; first, Alpha Xi Delta with
"Ceres for Central. With Wind^
for Us"; second. Xeta Tau Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon's j topics as what to
"Midias Well Win";  and third | homosexuals,    the
cause at our most critical hour,
a member of a minority religious group was able io win the
highest political office in Protestant America".
The author believes in Federal aid to education. And he
thinks that the Republicans
outsmarted themselves when
they pushed through the 22nd
amendment, because E i s e n-
hower could have been elected
"again and again".

Pulitzer Winner
Tills m Poetic Tad
Tact must be used to present
"valuable poetry" was the general theme of "Tact and the
Poet's Force," when Pulitzer-
prize winner, William D. Snod-
grass, lectured Tuesday in the
University Center.
To be valuable, he says poetry  must have  either a  new
idea, a new set of details or a
new style of presenting &n old
idea. And, tact must be used for
all three changes because people »resist   change.   He   stated,
"We hate   the man whom we
can't slijj into a stereotype,"
After   the   leciuro,   Snod-
grass, a Wayne Stale University professor, read from his
priso-winning    collodion    of
poetry. "Heart's Hsedlo."
The poet also won the Long-
view  Literary Award  in  1959
for a group of poems which appeared in the Hudson review.
pear ridiculous.
This is often the case in serious opera when a wounded and
dying star dwells on an aria for
so long and with such vocal
energy, that by the 'time he is
through the audience has forgotten what the tragedy was all
about.
Each of the three operettas
offered a little different type or
style of humor, and the dialogue changed accordingly. An
excellent job was done with the
scenery. "66" offered the most j
elaborate and colorful scenery j
and costumes.
From this type of scenery, to
a  completely  blank   screen   in
Sweet Betsy From Pike, a good
contrast   was   given.   And   the
acting   was    good    enough    to
stimulate the imagination to a
point where one could imagine
the   background   as   far   as   a
sense of humor Would allow.
Timing  can   be  a   problem
in    humorous    performances,
but it was not a  problem at
this   one.   Facial   expressions
and   voice   fluctuations   were
timed   to   coincide   with   the
plot  and  mood so  as  to  receive the best effect.
Musically speaking,  the  performance was done very  well.
The pianist did an excellent job
and  seemed  versatile  and  dynamic.  Having  a  piano taking
the part of an orchestra, filling
in where there >sye no  voices,
and adding to the mood of the
performance   is  not  easily   accomplished.
The voices were good and although the soprano was- a little
hard to understand at times,
this didn't detract much from
theover-all effect.
Although the group was
small, it picked good selections
,and performed them welL The
audience responded very generously, but the auditorium was
certainly not full of Central-
ites.. .possibly because of a
mass "culture" scare brought
about by preconditioned assumptions from previous performances.
