the past, town independents have ignored stu
dent government to the point where a sufficient
number of ward representatives to sit in Town
Council have been hard to find. As the situ
ation now stands, there are probably more in
dependents per representative in town than
- anywhere on campus. 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. An example of this possibility

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.

Anyone who saw the British films "Tales of Hoffman" and "The
Red Shoes," currently at the Nittany Theater, will long remember
the terpsichorean skill and artistry of the Sadler's Wells Corps de
Ballet from the Royal Opera House ix Covent Garden.
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

As we arrived late; the house

supernatural prowess and we
found ourselves without a house
program.
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

Queen Mother were easily rec.=

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.
