Changes Several changes in faculty were announced last month. David Williams, instructor in voice, will leave Southwestern at the end of the current academic year. His contract was not renewed, but this was strictly a matter of student-faoulty ratio in the music department, Dr. Earl Dungan will be leaving the education department. He resigned his position after accepting a job in Topeka on the State Board of Accreditation. The new head of the education department will be Lewis Gilbreath, formerly Dean of Students. Millie Warren will take over as the new Dean of Students. She is the only female dean of students in the State, and one of the few in the country. These changes became effective January lst, 1973. S.AA. The Student Activities Association was busy thru the months of October, November and December in bringing some outstanding enter- tainment to the campus. Not to be included in this list was lkJohn Manning who gave the col- lege students a lesson in how to earn a quick buck without having to work for it. Hired to play for at least two and one half hours Manning and his back-up group llWhite Dog played exactly tour short songs, fiddled around with equipment and proceeded to take a break all in the first hour of the show. During the next hour John changed into a snazzy outfit tsupposedly to indi- cate that he was a real superstari, fiddled around with some more equipment and played psycho- logical games with the audience. Between the fun and games HWhite Dog tespecially the lead guitarist and the pianist-flutisti played some pretty decent musics The concert itself had a split kind of reception - either you liked it or you didn't. There was no in between. Finally, this edi- tor would like to take the opportunity to quell the all but dead rumors that the drummer for l'White Dog was formerly the drummer for the famous Dave Clark Five Group. This, folks, was impossi- ble because the drummer for the D C. Five was none other than Mr Dave Clark himself, The gentleman on the drums was not Dave Clark. 1 don't know who he was. Also included on the SAA slate were two very good rock, dance bands a HEverybodyls Every- thing', and HBlackberry Winter? The students in attendance enjoyed the music of both groups. Last but not least was the enchanting movie ltThe Ballad of Cable HogueH starring Jason Robards, Jr. The film was about a man who faces death, life, the desert, and his God, all with style and equanimity. Most everyone was sur- prised about the quality of the film and a few felt that it was the best ever presented at this col- lege. We hope 8AA continues its line perform- ance. Earl Dungan

On Stage The annual fall production of the Southwestern College Campus Players was held on Nov. 10th- i4th. This years entry was a play by Robert E. Sherwood entitled The Petritied Forest. The scene of the play is a little cafe in the southern part of Arizona. The plot entails, among other things, the story of a man trying to find real meaning in the world. Thru the medium of love he eventually does. The Campus Players put many hours into the redesigning ot the Little Theater into a 1930's desert cafe. The setting was authentic and very well done, The show was well received and the actors played before full and overflowing houses on all four nights. i Also well received was the Campus Players 39th Annual production of llEagerheart, the Christmas morality play. Star Mathis played the title role of ttEagerheart. The three Honored Maidens were Ardis Garver, Linda Ballard and Dixie Daugherty. As this issue comes off the press, the January Term Theater Production Workshop will be deeply immersed in rehearsals for llFiddler on the Rootf' Jack Eddleman will be on campus to help in the production. He was also on campus last October to help conduct tryouts for the play. Canvass Other happenings on campus during the six weeks covered by this section included a 50's Night sponsored by Broadhurst Residence Hall and a paper collecting drive sponsored by Theta Phi Delta Fraternity. The 50s night was a combi- nation of nostalgia, pretzels and good old-fash- ioned rock and roll. Artists ranging from HDanny and the Juniorst' to ltChicago could be heard and danced to. Observed grooving on the heavy tunes were Dr. and Mrs. Ruthenburg and Dean Warren. The Thetas collected over seven tons of old newspapers and the money gained from the sale of these was contributed to the City of Wintieldts plant-a-tree campaign. Fra ts The recent interest in the fraternities on this campus, both pro and con, has been retleotedpin three ABRAXAS columns, one by Ms McGuire and two by Mr. Hresko. This magazine has no established position on this subject but it is inter- esting to note that at the College Concerns Corn- mittee meeting of December 5th the fraternity Charters were reinstated by the unanimous vote of the committee members present. Not a single dissenting voice was heard at this meeting and if there ever was a time to speak it was then. The frats showed a great deal of unity throughout their period of tttrial. Every so often the frater- nity system comes under some fire and during the most recent demonstration of this the three frats held up fine. Congratulations go out to the fraternities. UHURU! Their cry shall be UHURU! was staged by the Black Student Union on Thursday, December 7, 1972. This program, relating to the-blaok experience, was directed by Paul McIntosh and starred many of the members of the BSU.
