Junior Class To Present 'Carnival' At the last junior class meeting, held on Tuesday, December 2, it was unanimously decided that the junior class show this year will be "Carnival!" The show this year will be presented in Philips Memorial Auditorium on February 27, 28, and 29. The student director of the show is Bill Morris, while the Choreography is being done by Jackie Bishop. Dave Freed will direct the music. "Carnival!", by Robert Merrill, opened on Broadway in 1961, and ran for a year and a half. It is the tender story of a young girl named Lily who comes to the carnival and falls in love with a suave magician. Lily works with the carnival puppet show, which is run by the irascible puppeteer Paul, and his loveable assistant, Jacquet. Lily's sincerity and warmth cause the puppet show to undergo a startling renaissance, and this affects the entire carnival. Paul is in love with Lily, but can only express his feelings through his puppets'. Tryouts for the show were held on December 10, 11, and 12. The cast, which will include about 45 members, will be posted after Christmas. However, any junior who is interested in working for the show should contact director Bill Morris. Yay, Ralphie The Great Pretenders by Ed Williams The placing of the above busi on the Christmas tree in the quad by an unknown student shows us one thing - nonconformity is not dead on our campus.However, when approaching the subject of nonconformity, one must tread carefully. Too many of our nonconforming students are this way for one simple reason - it's the "thing to do". Just to be different, these students will act and dress in grange and unique ways. They certainly do attract attention, but often this attention takes the form of notoriety rather than respect. Whether one conforms or not is unimportant. The importance lies in whether this uniqueness is sincere. If one actually enjoys wearing gray flannel threebutton suits with vests, then he should wear them. As long as he follows a path of true independent thinking, he can hold his head high. And, conversely, if one really and truly wants to walk around campus carrying a bed pillow, or keep pet mice, or even pet elephants with green sneakers, it is his prerogative, and he should not be unjustly criticized for his actions. An insincere nonconformist doesn't really impress anyone, especially his fellow "hippies" (short for hypocrites). They see right through him. If only they could realize that what they are actually seeing is a mirror image of themselves. And, the sorry part is that they are probably wasting legitimate talent which could be sublimated into real, creative endeavors. As Emerson said, the true nonconformist is a man. He is not a boy playing games. Side By Side by Valerie Howitt As one walks along the manyfingered sidewalks of America's institutions of higher learning, he notices a particular situation. On his left, rising as many as four stories aibove the pavement, are the lovely, ivy covered, red-brick buildings dispelling an aura of aging beauty, warmness, and an invitation to learning. One can picture blackboards crowded with notes, a professor leaning on a maple lecturn speaking to his students with great enthusiasm, and finally, the students themselves passing through the halls, greeting friends for a moment's chat. On his right, rising straight, towering over the once highest object on campus, are the cold, sterile classrooms which make up the concept of modern architecture. Gone are the warmth and atmosphere. In its stead are impersonate rooms, bright windows filled with glaring light, and a teacher, detached by crowded conditions from his students. This lack of relationship thwarts both teacher and student. The eager learn by their own efforts, the mildly interested learn by constant prodding, and the space taker doesn't 'bother to absorb at all in this hall of echos and chalk squeeks. Tha fusion of old and new is common to many colleges of today. Building programs, accelerated t3 accommodate the growing student body, have amphasized size rather than taking into consideration the rest of the campus surroundings. Allotments for education at the college level have been few and far between when there are new buildings in mind. Side by side these various •buildings stand on today's campus, blending new and old, large and small, cold and warmth, tall and small, blunt and smooth. But, education continues no matter what the house of learning looks like. What lies in the future for education no one knows. Who can tell, education may be self-service. Clearing In Retrospect by Robert Willar "Loving Is Knowing Someone And Still Loving,, The Little Theatre Players inaugurated production in their new headquarters, Theatre 208, in Recitation Hall, with the week's performance of A Clearing in tlic Wood* by Arthur Laurents. Theatre 208, formerly the classroom 203, has undergone a marvelous transformation. Gone the the uneven floor and the dusty blackboards and the hard, uncomfortable student chairs. In their place is now a cersaitile on intimaite stage, lighting and sound facilities, and, in fine, a true theatre. Clearing is a play of beautiful design. Virginia (Jo Forte) is presented as a lost individual attempting to establish her true identity. After a problematic past, she finds herself in a wooded clearing (incidentally, well-represented by a serviceable non-illusionistic set). There she is greeted by her three egos (Madge Buff lap, Betty Chambers and Margaret Stafford). They urge her to accept them and to care for them, but, as the play displays their shortcomings, she refuses. She attempts to drive them out by force, but her efforts are abortive. Only after a mock court tries by witness technique to establish an individual who truly loves and cares for eacn separate ego, does she realize that she must indeed love and care not because of fame but in spite of fault. It might be said that the new quarters of Little Theatre had a magical effect on the players, for the performance was a splendid one. Regardless of the season, each character was, in itself, a model of impeccability; together, they were a creation of beauty. All were worthy of the highest praise as they exhibited not a single flaw—not an area in which favorable criticissm might be levied. It would be unthinkable to place one character above another in terms Of performance, as the en-ire cast was at the acme of development, and, consequently, contributed to the overall excellence of the presentation. The lead part, Virginia, by Jo Forte, was aibly handled and was characterized by outstanding emotional control, unusal beauty and mystery, and depth and ibreadth of feeling. Immediately supporting were ithe three egos; by the three nothing short of perfection was represented. Of the lesser characters, Bonnie Cohen and Dave Freed outdid their previous appearances on the college stage, while Richard Kalwaic, a newcomer, Ed Jones, and Richard Bank displayed admirable development and portrayal. In contrast to his last role, Barry Jenner was a benign and understanding fiance, the image called for in his casting.In closing, it is imperative that the fact be reported that Little Theater has cached unparalleled heights with its production of Clearing. To view the play is to experience an emotion which is close and real to us all—ithat of personal identity and interpersonal relations. One leaves the theatre aware of the feeling imparted by a magnificent play, a superb performance, and, moreover, ithe realization that he has shared an intimacy hitherto reserved for an elite few. Senior Class Gift It has been a tradition at West Chester State College that the Senior Class present a worthwhile and lasting gift to the College upon graduation. This year the Class of 1964 will contribute to the erection of a Memorial Plaza to be built on the corner of High Street and Rosedale Avenue. This plaza will be of concrete construction and will consist of a monument containing the name of the college.The general plan of the plaza will be in keeping with the architectural design of the proposed buildings, and the class, along with the administration, feels that this worthwhile project will be a pleasant addition to the campus. It is hoped that this plaza will be completed sometime in the Spring of 1964. December 16, 1963 The Quad Angles 3 "Season's Greetings"
