President Stauffer speaks with Symposium Speakers Mark Kac. Peter Cay, Milton Babbitt, and Paul Lehman. A Symposium . . . Class Elections The beginning of classes, October 3, signaled the start of numerous campus activities. A symposium was held Octo- ber 13-14 with guest lecturers individually addressing special Chapel convocations and participating jointly in a panel discussion. Class meetings were held and posters dotted the campus as students campaigned for class offices. On election day students “went to the polls ’ to elect their leaders and the 1966 Homecoming Queen. The weekend of October 22 brought dads (and moms) to campus for Dads’ Day, which was highlighted by the Tigers’ victory over Heidelberg. Concerts, Sunday worship service in Weaver Chapel were all part of the planned activities. The University Theatre began its season with an example of total theater with the performance of “The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marquis de Sadc. One of the first amateur groups in the United States to produce the play off Broadway, the cast worked long hours in developing characters who could be mentally insane while conveying the ideas of the author. 22
