Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus; but use all gently. for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance, that may give it smoothness. Oh, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the ground- lings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb-shows and noise. I would have such a fellow whipped for O’erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod. —HAMLET— This May, St. Edward’s cultural atmosphere received a delightful boost in the form of the First Annual Spring Play Break. At a University whose taste runs mostly to the grunts of the intramural field, it was refreshing to hear the sounds of “Greensleeves” wafting through the air. The persons to be credited for this innovative experience are actors Shelly Chester, Joe Jeff Goldblatt, Karen Brock, as well as musicians Charles Turner, Barbara Amoral, and Chuck Johnson. Dramatic presentations included from Shakespeare, Anton Checkov, and Henrik Isben. The acting reflected both talent of the players and their intense enthusiasm for their project; as in Karen’s excellent portrayl of Ophelia. We can only hope the Spring Play Break will really become an annual event at S.E.U., for such a tradition can only serve to improve our “‘quality of life”. 121

This year ‘the elections began with a few puffed-up egos and ended in a ‘paroxysm of apathy. A good election, it is said, should be run on the basis of the issues. But when every candidate runs on the same issues with the same position, wha’ta ya gonna do? Someone did at least think to set up an evening’s forum for the candidates to speak their minds, an event which was heavily attended by all of twelve students, most of whom were candidates. But then who needs to bother with such trivial things when you already know who you like and who your vote’s going to. I guess it’s true of every high school college university election, but damn, the S.A.I. is nothing but a popularity contest. You know that, I know it, and Louie “Landslide” Perez knew it when he ran against Pete (George McG.) Thaddeus. So from now on why don’t we just dispense with President and Vice-Presi- dents and just vote for Most Popular, Cutest, and Most Likely To Succeed. Seriously I wish the Perez administration all the best, they really seem to have a lot going for them. But just remember to watch your step, because Pete and the Fourth Estate will be watching closer than ever. Why is this man smiling? i =e = oe Laren - ‘ | SOPHMORE= RES. lovac
