THE MADWOMAN
IS COMING!
On June 7 and 8, 1971 the
curtain will rise in the Classroom
Building Auditorium on the
second student theatrical
production of the year, Jean
Giraudoux’ “The Madwoman of
Chaillot”. This farcical madcap,
to be produced by the
Humanities 4998 Class, will be
directed by Mr. Budney with
assistance from student director,
Ned Irish. Leading the cast will
be the able Mrs. Thelma Barnett,
cast as Countess Aurelia, the
Madwoman. She is joined by
three fellow madwomen played
by Doe Perkowska, Samantha
Bower and Ann Ferrino. Notable
male roles are Thomas Ogden
(President), John Livi
(Ragpicker) and Ed Hoffman
(Prospector) and Michael
Zimmerman (Pierre). A
supporting cast includes Jerry
Till, Flossie Jancsar, Richard
Schroth, Suzanne Jordan, Lynn
Mastrone, Mike Blank, Sandy
Simpson, Ron Haag, Joe
Luciani, Gary Wetterhall, Dave
Keller, Ned Irish and Millie
Royer. '
The play, produced on
Broadway and revived as the
musical “Dear World”, centers
about the plot of infamous
businessmen to drill for oil in
Paris. Their scheme is foiled by
the aging Countess Aurelia,
whose adventures will surely
captivate the audience. The play
has most recently appeared in
movie form with Katherine
Hepburn in the starring role.
Jean Giraudoux was famous
for his style as the “Theatre of
Language”. His plays’ meanings
are transmitted not by the
action, but by words. Also the
author of such critically
acclaimed plays as “Ondine”,
“The Enchanted”, and
“Siegfried”, Giraudoux died in
1944.
A highly recommended
attraction of your spring term,
“The Madwoman of Chaillot” is
not to be missed! Be there on
June 7 or 8!

Student
Involvement
In response to the results of
the Student Power Referendum,
the Committee for Student
Involvement has formulated a
proposal consisting of three
recommendations. 1. That a
Community Council (at Capitol
Campus) be established. The
Council would be comprised of
an equal number of
representatives from the faculty,
students and administration,
with each member’s vote
carrying the same weight. The
function of the Council would
be to vote on those decisions
which affect, directly or
indirectly the student body. 2.
That Housing and Food Service
would be under the jurisdiction
of Capitol Campus not
University Park. 3. That students
be included as decision makers
not advisors on the committee
selecting the Provost of Capitol
Campus.
Copies of this proposal are
being submitted to members of
the SGA, faculty and
administration of Capitol, the
Board of Trustees at University
Park, and President Oswald.
Copies for the students are
available at the Round Table,
the library and the SGA office.
It is hoped that students,
administration and faculty
objectively and conscientiously
read these recommendations. It
is the responsibility of the
Student body and their elected
representatives to implement
these proposals if they are to
become a reality.

Dear President Oswald
I am writing to express my
concern about the recently
proposed post of Provost at the
Capitol Campus. There are two
aspects which 1 believe
necessitate my comment.
First, I am concerned that
students at Capitol are
effectively involved in the search
process for candidates for the
position. In view of your April
sth statement on principles
regarding student participation
in the academic affairs of the
University and in light of your
long standing policy of
encouraging student
participation in matters which
affect them, and in speaking to
our Director, Mr. Coleman
Herpel, I am of the opinion that
you will insist that students shall
be effectively involved. Actual
performance will demonstrate
the accuracy of my opinion.
Second, I believe much of
my, and other interested
students, concern about student
involvement in the matter could
have been avoided if the intent
of your action had been
announced to the Capitol
Campus community at the same
time as it was announced to the
faculty. The closed
announcement and the rapid
search process created in many
of us the infamous, and too
frequently accurate, “railroad
job” image.
After speaking with Mr.
Herpel and Dr. Duane Smith, my
concerns were eased as I learned
of the nature of your specific
charge to the search team, viz.,
to include student input. I
believe that the matter will work
out in an acceptable manner, but
I feel compelled to send you
these comments.

Station Manager
Thank you for your
attention.
