A total of six presentations were made available to students by Cultural Programs. This year for the first time the Series cooperated with the Speech Communications and Theatre Department and the Student Government Association to fund the appear- ance of a guest actress for the spring produc- tion, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The actress was on campus for the entire two week run of the play and for two weeks of rehearsal prior to the play. In addition to performing, she conducted several acting seminars. The Cultural Programs Series also had a reciprocal attendance agreement with the local Community Concert group whereby the members of both groups could attend all productions sponsored by both groups. For students that meant all ten events could be attended for no charge. This spring with some support from the Missouri Council on the Arts, the Series presented the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, America's second oldest orchestra. The Council on the Arts made it possible for many Missouri schools to sponsor cultural programs. The Cultural Program Committee was appointed by the Faculty Senate, and members were rotated periodically. The committee had representatives from each college and two representatives from the student body. V12
