It maintains the process of bringing about self government in the halls will be a valuable learning experience for students.

Fun will be their basic theme, but a better mankind their ultimate goal as students, faculty and staff of the Pennsylvania State University join hands in a unique new venture called “The Renaissance Festival.” Scheduled for May 14 - 23, the program will bring together already established concepts such as the Black Arts Festival, Colloquy and the annual Spring Week Carnival and surround them with a whole galaxy of new and different cultural events with the idea of focusing national attention on the problems of the disadvantaged. “The primary thrust of the Renaissance Festival will be to try to awaken society to its responsibility for bringing all members of the community into the mainstream of life,” report Festival co-chairmen Walter Walters, dean of the College of Arts and Architecture at the University, and Jim Antoniono, president of the Undergraduate Student Government. And to manifest that thrust in its truest sense, disadvantaged youngsters from throughout the State will be invited to come to Penn State and become involved in the Festival, participating in its workshops and experiencing personally its cultural achievements. “We hope that what we launch here in 1971 will become an an nual event, not just at Penn State, but at college and university campuses across the Nation,” according to Dean Walters and Antoniono. The Festival has also received the full support of Penn State President John W. Oswald who has urged all members of the University community to give appropriate priority to its aims and goals. The real sponsor of the week of fun, culture and enjoyment is the Renaissance Fund, a special program established last year by the Penn State Board of Trustees to “signify the rebirth of efforts to help needy students from environments of the educationally and socially disadvantaged.” Basically, the Fund seeks to raise money for the granting of scholarships, loans and other forms of financial aid to needy students or prospective students, who come from socially or educationally disadvantaged t 7Jtc o i¥ccyJi 2net University Park, Pa., Mar .- Robert J.

Efforts are underway to have nationally known figures in all fields of Oie fine arts as honorary chairmen for the Festival and its various categories. Programs in music, dialogue, photography, film, dance, painting, sculpture, theatre, readings and architecture are being prepared to “achieve maximum personal involvement in and commitment to social change which would equalize the opportunity for personal fulfillment among members of society.” Colloquy ‘7l, a program begun by students two years ago to place the emphasis of student activism on dialogue discussion rather than dissent and disruption will kick off Renaissance Week. Based on the theme of “Ex periencing Change Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow,” the program will feature nationally known speakers and a series of workshops centered on the four major topics of social, economic, educational and political change. One speaker already com mitted for the program is Julian Bond, the first Black ever nominated for the vice presidency of the United States and now a member of the Georgia State Legislature. The Black Arts Festival will take the spotlight during the middle portion of. the 10-day program, with the annual Spring Week Carnival, complete with skits and game booths, bringing it all to a climax the weekend of May 21-22. Meanwhile, artists, sculptors and film-makers from across the country are being invited to take part in the week-long exhibitions, sales and competitions that will dominate the educational ven ture. “The Renaissance Festival is a means of showing our support for the Renaissance Fund and the Renaissance concept,” maintain Dean Walters and Antoniono. “It will provide a creative purpose for students, faculty the entire University family and beyond to put their commitment into action through the use of then talents in an annual event sup porting Renaissance goals.” executive secretary of the Penn State Alumni Association, having been editor in 1960-62. • McHugh was re-named to the post by the director of Collegian Inc., a student-faculty board that serves as publisher of the student paper.
