College O ttigts Seitie s An important addition to the cultural life of the students at O.S.C. every year is the College Artists Series. This series is open to all; however, college students are given the first opportunity to buy tickets. The 1960-61 College Artists Series was again a season of great success. Under the direction of Robert Brismaster and assistant director Roger P. Dennis, five excellent programs were brought to Oshkosh and the students of O.S.C. The first presentation was October 22 with the Cleveland Touring Playhouse enacting “Dr. Faustus.” The next program was December 10 when twenty members of the Chicago Little Symphony under the direction of Thor Johnson entertained the Oshkosh audiences. February 4 brought the Allegro American Ballet featuring Doreen Tempest and Robert Lunnon; March 11 was the date of the performance of Brian Sullivan, an outstanding tenor. Rounding out the season was the Kohan String Quartet, one of America’s outstanding chamber music ensembles. 25
