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.

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.

The play progresses until the
gentleman caller, Jim, arrives for
dinner and appears, in Amanda’s
fancies, to be trapped by Laura.
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.
