Cultural Growth
To say that there was a good turnout for the Don Cos-
sacks would bean understatement. A sympathetic and
warm audience made no bones about its liking the pro -
gram as it called the Cossacks back for two encores
and the grand finale.
Tuesday night was the first time in my history at La-
mar Tech that there has ever been "standing room only'
at an artist series (this excludes the homecoming musi -
cals). Possibly Tuesday night's showing was an exam-
ple of the response that is to be given all other artist
series--I certainly hope so.
The cultural growth of Lamar is in its infancy in com
parison to its scientific and technological growth. Yet,
it takes strength in all three fields to make a great
school. Tuesday night was a fine beginning.
To those who did not see the Cossacks, all we can
say is, you missed a most unusual and entertaining

"'Growing pains' have
we," we note with interest
the last few weeks. Say
students and administra-
tive groups, "In the pro-
c e s s of building and en-
largingwe have lost much
of our school spirit." The
problems of a small group
of our students have been
overlooked in all the hus-
tle—these are our per-
ennial bridge-players.
Unable to play upstairs
because of the space being
used for the library, our
card-fiends went for a
while to the snack bar.
Over crowded conditions
there made this impossi-
ble.
As Norris V. Kelton,
Dean of Student Life, says,
"Certainly we have no ob-
jection to anyone's playing
bridge." However, until
construction upstairs is
completed there just is no
place for it in the Student
Union building. When the
second floor is finished
space will be provided for
such activities.
Lack of sufficient chairs
in the union this week found
Phil Pearson and Jim Wel-
don, senior geology stu-
dents, downing their coffee
while draped over the rail-
ing around the counter in
the Union. Nice for seeing
and being seen........
It's that time of the se-
mester again, and if asked
your favorite color you'd
p r o b a b ly give as an an-
swer anything except pink.
Yes, those little slips will
be going out this week.
Almost coo "high-school"
to be true is this incident
which occured in the Union
e a r 1 i e r in the week. An
English professor was re-
marking to a student that
it was really nice our col-
lege was advancing to the
state that we are able to
do such a drama as "Oedi-
pus the King."
"Oh," questioned the stu-
dent, '1 thought we were
doing 'Oedipus Rex.'"
The huge curnover in the
books tore, isn't a high
volume of book business;
the new issue of Playboy
has just come in.
Dr. Winfred Emmons,
English professor, is one
of Tech's blossoming the-
spians. He is takingone of
the leading roles in "The
Fifth Season," production
by Stage, Inc. Playing the
role of a clothes buyer in
New York City, Emmons
is instigator of amorous
doings between a clothing
manufacturer and the
man's model, Other com-
plications come in as the
manufacturer and his
partner attempt to remain
in business, and the part-
ner falls seriously in love.
At the conclusion of the
drama everything is going
smoothly, but the audience

circles again,

Male Singers
Are Needed
Wanted: men singers:
Joseph Truncale has is-
sue d a statement urging
the men of Lamar Tech
who enjoy music to join the
Lamar Tech Men's Glee
Club. He emphasized that
one need not be a music
major in order to sing with
the club. "We want engi-
neers, businessmen, pre-
meds, any man who can
sing," said Mr. Truncale.
At present there are 26
members buthe hopes that
the chorus will increase to
ed in two taculty play read-
ings at Lamar, "The
Lady's Not for Burning,"
and "The Male Animal."
With now a full week's
experience of pipe-smok-
ing behind him, connisseur
Frank Cricchio offers
advice on the art: "The
cheaper brands are not to
be recommended. Person-
ally I prefer a half and half
mixture of Schmoogle's
Schmoothest and Danny's
Dandiest."
Newly recognized mutual
interest group on the cam-
pus is Kappa Eta. Known
astheKH's, the group has
this week selected Roy
Huckaby as president,
Leon Obenhaus as 1st vice-
president in charge of
activities, and Charles
Stevens as piiilicity chair-
man. Activities of this
group are quite well-
known; men interested in
becominga part of this
unofficial organization
should see one of the of-
fice! s of the week.
