Philosophy A better understanding of the minds and teachings of great thinkers came from the philosophy and religion department.

Mr. William Pettijohn maintained the position of Dr. Milic Capek who has been at Yale on a Ford Foundation fel- lowship. Other members of the department include Dr. Martin Eshleman, chairman, and Mr. Eugene Mayers. Economics Students in the economics department soon learned that there is more to the principle of supply and de- mand than the five o ' clock hunger pangs. Problems, theories, and applications were discussed not only in classes but in the meetings of the Economics Club, which is directed bv the members of the department: Dr. Renzo Bianchi, chairman, Dr. Ada Harrison, and Dr. Leonard Lecht.

Tom Jeglosky, Jack Sommers, Earle Gister in Famous Scenes from Shakespeare. Subcycle Offer ed in April, a concert reading of famous Shake- spearean scenes was the year ' s second subcvcle and senior Peggy Coombs ' farewell production. Directors Peggy and Grant Webster worked their rehearsals painstakingly around Measure for Measure , while production manager Marv Pearson saw to the per- formance ' s smooth running. The task proved difficult for actors Tom Jeglosky, Jack Sommers, Earle Gister, Carol Saltus, and Carolyn Stewart. When Shakespeare ' s writing and the actors ' former training demanded the use of the body, the concert technique demanded use of the voice alone from a quiet stance at the reading stand. Another experiment in early plays was that of Mr. Pettet ' s English Drama class, whose term project was an outdoor production of The Second Shepherds ' Play. Spectators huddled close, stamping and blowing, to join the madrigal singers who opened the performance. The shepherd ' s grumbling over the weather got un- e.xpected laughs as the ancient comedv and miracle play came alive on the cramped platform. To Bethlehem he bade that we should gang. — Second Shepherd ' s Play ' 21

GOODSELL Since its establishment in 1880, Goodsell Observatory has been a special feature at Carleton College. For some time the college library was located in the Observatory, and when other facilities were pro- vided for the increasing number of books, a mathe- matical and astronomical library was housed exclu- sively in the building. The observational work done here at Carleton has gained national recognition due to the e.xcellent equip- ment. There are a planetarium, two large equatorial telescopes, an accurate time-keeper, and many other i mportant instruments. Astronomy was not offered this past year, but courses are expected to be resumed next fall. Meanwhile there have been numerous observatory open houses, and an active Astronomy Club. -■- 7j1K ' 0
