THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Tuesday, January 12, 1965 | Reynolds 9 Rap | §i j by Mike Reynolds CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Ripon College President Hits Small College Expansion Trends Twenty one players on the East and West squads of the American Football League All-Star Game have struck a monoterily un sound and prestige - shattering blow at the league, and the chances of New Orleans ever ob taining a franchise. Racial discrimination charges were leveled at the city of New Orleans as the 21 Negroes walked out and refused to participate in Saturday’s nationally televised game. A crowd of 60,000 had been expected and now only 37,- 000 at the very best, will be able to witness the game in Houton. The Negroes’ point might be acceptable had they been denied equal room accomodations in New Orleans’ hotels or if active dis crimination had been found in seating at Tulane stadium. All reports indicate that this was not the case. A story carried by the Associ ated Press wire service quoted Dick Westmoreland of San Diego as saying, ^ Several people shout ed insults at us in the French Quarter and doors were shut in our faces when we tried to enter several establishments.” It would seem that the players are belaboring a point as well as harming the movement for racial equality. Pro sports has long been one of Negroes’ biggest winners of friends and now for those sports to turn in judgment upon any par ticular city, town, group or peo ple does is no good. & It will only help build resent ment in a country that is trying from the executive mansion to bar rooms, to obtain equal op portunity for men and women, regardless of their race. The country is becoming more and more open-minded toward accept ance of the Negro race, partially through efforts of Congress and its Civli Rights Bill, and partially through the efforts of individuals. The country is much like the old mule that would not move unless struck in the head with a board to get its attention, and then was coaxed along with ten der, loving kindness. The Civil Rights Bill is the board used on the country and now, tender loving care is needed to keep the country moving. Fur ther beating with demonstrations, fights and mud-slinging will only serve to halt and possibly stop the movement by undoing all that has been done up until now. Morals cannot be legislated. Only through softening the hearts of the people to their cause, will the Negroes ever reach their goal. It is certain that the heart of David F. Dixon, promoter of the game, has not been softened. It is also certain that the hearts of the 16,000 individuals who al ready had tickets have not been softened. It is too late now to do any thing about this game, but Negro athletes should carefully consider their moves before they again go charging off on their high- horses in the name of Civil Rights. By Intercollegiate Press Ripon, Wis. — Admitting the point of diminishing returns in educational values resulting from expansion cannot be clearly iden tified, most small colleges have tried to remain small but have in fact become larger, according to Dr. Fred O. Pinkham, president of Ripon College. “The most common plan for in stitutional growth employs the 'ballooning’ technique. As en rollment increases the total in stitution stretches in every di rection without basically chang ing its character. For some of those who hold to the thesis that there is an optimum size for the small college, the practice is simply to end expansion at the present institutional site and start a new college in its own image at a new location. “A college might preserve its small size while gaining some of the benefits of larger enrollment (income and broader curriculum) by spawning a satellite institu tion. Such an institution might take the form of a specialized two-year college of either the upper or lower division, a small graduate school, an experimental center, a cluster of related depar, ments (e.g. science or p«fc ing arts), or a specialized k tute for training teachers beyo: the A.B. level. “Sharing faculty, curriculum, ministration and facilities m! bring many of the benefits : size to both the original instte tion and the satellite. "With pj. per care exercised to insure cor patibility of curricula, stufe body and philosophy such a pin might work.) “I’m scared! Every time we ask him about th’ final he just gets this real fiendish look and laughs!” Emotion - Packed ‘Menagerie 9 Opens By JIM HUNT The Aggie Players’ first pro duction of the new year opened last night in Guion Hall with the presentation of Tennessee Wil liams’ “The Glass Managerie.” The play, set in an alley in St. Louis in the late 30’s, shows the effect of an uneventful life, upon a person longing to seek his place in the scheme of important oc curences surrounding him. He is forced to accept a day-to-day shuffling through of an unvaried dun-colored world highlighted only by minor irritations and an noyances rather than peaked with the high adventure he so eagerly desires to break out into. Tom Wingfield, the young ad venture seeker, finds himself bound to his mother, Amanda and all the disappointments of family life, because of the disability of his sister, Laura. Laura, well portrayed by Nancy Schoenewolf, is crippled both physically and emotionally; she has a slight limp and has developed an acute shy ness which has caused her to create her own world of minia ture glass animals — The Glass Menagerie. Amanda, the pitifully irritating mother, is so well done by Lee Hance that the performance sharply points the love-hate re lationship so prevalent in the world outside the stationary exist ence of the fragile glass. The conflict of the overbearing mother and the son is at times grating upon the nerves of the viewer. The bonds upon Tom, through his feeling of responsi bility for his sister, is a close parrallel to Williams’ own exper ience. ■ FAST' ACTING 1: THE SAFE WAY to stay alert without harmful stimulants NoDoz™ keeps you mentally alert with the same safe re fresher found in coffee.

Paul Bleau carries the part well in playing the only sane person in the play. The imaginative settings give the inexact, unrealistic indoor- outdoor effect which complements the memory realism allowing a * distinct ; fpens to be ^rqpgljt .ppoin a single area by the-effect-use of lighting. Being told by the narrator that the play is memory, a recreation of the bane existence of the main character’s earlier years, sets the scene for a timely and moving performance, and the play de mands less from the viwer than would normally be expected, ex cept for the emotional involve ment without which the effect of the play would be lost. David White, the spokesman for the people who live in the Glass Menagerie world, gives an ex tremely good performance as a man playing two roles in two worlds within the space of a single life.
