them . . . remake them according
to the needs of the times.”
“Criticism of American society
... is coming from the extremes,
the far right and the far left.
It’s the same criticism,” he went
on. “I’m taken by the fact that
there is this convergence of ide
ologies.”
“For the first time in our lives,
it’s almost as if there is no longer
the situation of man against man.
It’s man against organization and
man against the machine,” Gib
bons said.
SDS member Jeff Daniels of
San Antonio asked the dean for an
example of the organization “ad
vocating violent overthrow of the
American government in one of
its official statements.”
“. . . I have heard you, person
ally, state that you advocate this.
What’s more, that after you de
stroy the U. S. government that
you would like to see a communist
form of government replace it,”
Dean Hannigan replied.
Daniels denied using the words
“violent,” “communism” and said
he defined the term revolution “as
immediate and rapid change and
gave no indication of the vehicle
it would use.” Panel Moderator
Rev. Wesley Seelinger of St.
Thomas Episcopal Church noted
he did not recall Daniels using the
words.
“He said he liked a number of
ideas of Russian leaders but didn’t
like the way they were going,”
Hannigan clarified. “Daniels said
he rather thought the best thing
for the U. S. was the Yugoslav
form of government. However
his main objective was to com
pletely demolish the (American)
establishment and then let some
thing evolve of its own which he
thought would be similar to the
Yugoslav form of government.”

Man of I„a Mancha is
the adventures of Cervantes’ most

work based on
:s’ most famed
and ridiculed character, Don Quixote, This
interpretation of “Don Quixote” was first
seen on television a few years back and
dramatizes not only the daft knight but
his creator as well. Cervantes is a prisoner
in an inquisition dungeon who is sum
moned before a kangaroo court of his
fellow-prisoners, who rob him of his posses
sions and threaten to destroy the manu
script of his masterpiece. To prevent this,
he diverts them by reenacting with the
help of his servant, Sancho, some scenes
from "Don Quixote.” In the ensuing action*
the fellow-prisoners themselves are trans
formed into characters from the novel.

Feted on five continents the Hungarian
Quartet has thrilled music lovers with its
unsurpassed interpretations of the great
string quartets. The entire literature from
the classics to the modems is their do
main, yet many are the cities the world
over where an entire Beethoven, or Bartok
cycle by the Hungarian Quartet is an an
nual event.
The Hungarian Quartet, which is in
residence giving concerts and teaching at
Colby College in Maine during the sum
mers, is a most impressive group, intelli
gent, sensitive, with a responsive ensemble
sense and a very high standard of instru
ment playing. In any event, the Hun
garian series is a pleasure not to be
missed.
