A new Course Center stage - a new and exciting course directed by Dr. John Patterson. The course is American Studies 4988 alias American Popular Theater. Dr. Patterson promises a lot of work, but also a very exciting and interesting study focusing on a production of a single 19th century play. It’s conceived as, “An experimental effort in American Studies and not primarily as a course in theater history or production.” The class will meet during two double class periods per week. It will consist of lectures, rehearsals, and seminars. The play chosen by Dr. Patterson is entitled, “The Spy of Atlanta, a Grand Military Allegory in Six Acts.” It was written by A. D. Ames and C. G. Bartley in 1875. The class will also concern itself with the evolution of American attitudes during the 19th and 20th centuries. Dr. Patterson hopes he can find students as enthusiastic as he is to approach the study of the American personality with a slightly different approach. ** * * A Tip of the Hat to Peg Last May the newspaper ran a “Name the Capitolist Contest.” No one seemed very interested and the contest along with the paper were going down the drain. All summer long the new editors thought and thought, trying to come up with a suitable name for its tired paper. A name that would carry on a tradition of responsible contact with the real world as well as cement the ties between students and faculty and this fine institution of higher education. A name without those childish endings such as “ist” or “ite.” A name that would send Ben Franklin turning in his grave or Clark Kent up a wall. Well, it happened (a new name that is). And it has come to us through a clairvoyant and slightly intoxicated little blonde named Peggy Furey. What’s in a name - right Peg? She is the grand prize winner of a trip to anywhere she can go with the five dollars we are giving her. Thanx for the name, Peg and we hope to hear from you when you return from your wonderful voyage. ** * * Tom Ewing Art Exhibit Gallery/Lounge September 23 through October 11 Highlights from Saint Joan “Saint Joan,” one of the world’s most inspiring dramas of a woman’s faith and the price she was willing to pay for her beliefs, will be presented by the Alpha-Omega Players on Tuesday, October 2 at 2 p.m. on the lawn in the rear of the main building, (in the event of rain it will take place in the Auditorium). No Charge! Written by George Bernard Shaw, “Saint Joan” tells the stirring story of a peasant girl who was led to great heights by God’s commands and ultimately was led to the stake by those she opposed. Shaw said of her, “There are only two opinions about her: One that she was miraculous and the other that she was unbearable. She asserted herself with such force that she was famous throughout Western Europe before she was out of her teens. It is hardly suprising that she was burnt for Susan Coleman Robert Smith September 26,1973 unwomanly and insufferable presumption.” The Alpha-Omega Players, the nation’s most active repertory theater headquartered in Dallas, Texas, which has achieved international fame for its dramatic presentations, will offer a special adaptation of the Shaw play patterned to today’s challenges. In addition to her inspiring personal portrayal, Joan will be seen in moving moments with Captain Dunois of the French forces, the sympathetic but militant churchman Ladvenue, the whimpering Dauphin, and the Archbishop of Rheims. This fast-moving presentation of the effectively staged highlights of “Saint Joan” is the work of Drexel H. Riley, executive producer of the Alpha-Omega Players, who also serves as the director.
