THRGUG No one can justly accuse Southern of being strictly utilitarian in tastes after seeing the roster of attractions that each year take the stage at Shryock Auditorium. Virtually every facet of the entertainment world is repre- sented. For the classical there are stars ofthe opera and concert stages sponsored by the University in cooperation with the Carbon- dale Community Concert Associationg for the contcmporare, pop artists, jazz bands and the like. For freshmen, a hodge podge of Thursday morning sessions-some good, some bad, all required. Each contributes to the essential element of education concord- ant With, though separate from, class.

BR ADW YI THE BARRACK A converted army barracks, a handful of stu- dents, three directors-that's theatre at Southern. But add a host of ideas, a world of talent-that's Broadway at Southern. SIU,s Southern Players consistently turn out top- notch drama. The campus scene is four full- length plays, numerous one-acters and child- ren's plays. In the Spring, the Players take two plays on tour of Southern Illinois towns, spending the entire term living out of a hus. Last Summer the Shepherd ofthe Hills theatre opened at Lake Taneycomo, Mo., and Southern entered a new realm of theatre- summer stock with its tremendous theatrical experiences, mosquitoes and hard work. My Three Angels, first presenterl in summer stock, repeated as Homecoming play, brought together Stan- ley Bnshkill, foe Embser and Dave Broohbank as the riotous escaped convicts out for a Christmas spree. 4717
