This would present the problem of finding enough representatives to sit in the general assembly. There may be a solution in having membe, of the various councils sitting in the genera - . assembly. This would supply representatives from each of the areas concerned as it does now. However, then it would be necessary to' throw out the idea pf proportionate representation, unless some compensating measure of equality .is provided by using representatives-at-large. The question of representation brings out an other point—a point dependent upon the solu tion found for deciding the membership of a proposed advisory council. The council would screen legislation to be brought before the gen eral assembly. If a mathematically equal rep resentation is provided, it is conceivable that a large group, such as town, with perhaps a little additional help from another council, might impose its will on an issue that is the concern of a minority.

PENNSYLVANIA VINdE DRAYNE, Business Mgr. On Carnival Holiday All-College Cabinet tonight will decide whether or not to remove one day of vacation from Easter recess to allow a holiday for Spring Carnival. In view of past action by groups sitting on cabinet, it seems apparent the calen dar will stay as it is. Most students probably prefer keeping the full recess since they will not be directly .af fected by the carnival. Although the majority of the student body enjoys the carnival, a much smaller portion takes active part. If cabinet decides not to grant the Spring carnival holiday, it could be harming the earn ' val and Spring Week. Without the carnival, he "week cannot function. Without adequate ime for the carnival it cannot be a financial -access. Perhaps the logical answer, then, lies in re -Tuesting two nights for the carnival. This was done last year with great success. Chief ob jection came from faculty members who felt class cutting was excessive. The class cut prob lem—if it really is a problem—might easily be overcome by fraternity-sorority efforts at a later date if cabinet enacts a two-night carnival now.

We fell prey to the superiority of the films, too, and every time they come back to the neighbor hood show houses, we find our selves standing in line at the box office like well-trained homing pigeons. Last summer we discovered , a small ad tucked away in the bot tom of a concert program an nouncing the incomparable Sad ler's Wells troupe, complete with cast of 150, full orchestra and new'sets and costumes, had sched uled its third American tour with a stop over in Philadelphia. We put our nearest tangible assets back into hock and ordered two priceless tickets for the complete sour-act "Le Lac Des Cygnes" (Swan Lake) set to the musical . enius of Tchaikowski. Of course, we knew practically it about the aesthetic values of , allet, but pursuing a fuller back -round in the arts, we journeyed the City of Brotherly Love for ur first live exhibition of dance ?seater.

The curtain rose on a colorful group of village peasants some where in a mythological kingdom. Down from the fourth balcony filtered a pOwerful Lethe, and mature adults who had known better for years retrogressed to a gossamer world of medieval cas tles, witches and storybook fig ures. Before we were aware of it, we, too, had crossed the' border of sanity and got lost in a nursery rhyme-like dream. It was rather difficult at first: almost like watching a silent mo vie through the wrong end of a telescope. No words! No explana tory program. No comprehension of the abbreviated gestures! Fifty people bouncing, around the stage like lilliputians on imaginary po go sticks! Also ignorant of the story, my companion suggested the dark cloaked figure might be a dis placed St. Thomas a Becket on a peregrination to the Ho 1 y Lands. No, I insisted. He must be the insidious Mephistopheles. He turned out to be the harm less Wolfgang. tutor of Prince Siefried. The prince and the Queen Mother were easily rec.= cognized by their r egal trap pings. From the crossbows' wielded by the Siefried and his henchmen, we deduced the men were going out for a little birddogging in the tall. grass. (Continued on page five)
