themselves to plays with all-wo-

Long gone to the tradition that
when one goes to college it’s only
for work, work, work.
Both North Texas State and Tex-
as Woman’s University have set
up their own schedules of enter-
tainment events to which the stu-
dent is encouraged to go. Most
events are free tn students and only
- about $2 for non-students.
And added to the college pro-
grams to the fact that Denton to
less than an hour’s drive from
such Texas entertainment capitals
as Fort Worth and particularly
Dallas.
Along with his chance to see the
dramatics and music groups who
perform regularly at NTSC and
TWU, the student will have the op-
portunity to attend special fine
arts programs brought in from
time to time by the colleges. And
nearby, there are the in-the-round
musicals produced at the Casa
Manana in Fort Worth and stage
productions by the nationally
known Margo Jones Theatre of
Dallas. This theatre recently merg-
ed with the Knox Street Theatre,
and for the first time in its history
will produce Ito shows on the pro-
scenium stage. Tickets are usually
about 33.
ONE-ACT PLAYS
The entertainment season in Den-
ton usually gets underway with
• one-act production by NTSC’s
- Supper Theatre in early October.
Supper Theatre is a unique dra-
matic group which produces its
plays In-the-round after first serv-
ing a full-course dinner to its au-

The order of finish in the
1959 conference meet in Denton
was a virtual duplication of the
1958 event, with Houston, North
Texas and Wichita hogging the ma
jor share of points and first plac-
es. Only the entry of St. Louis in
this year’s competition changed the
standings, with the Billikens
crowding Cincinnati out of seventh
I place.
Houston grabbed the title with 77
points, while the Eagles topped the
Wichita Wheatshockers 49 to 46%
for second place. The Cougars pub
ed ahead of the pack by taking
over the North Texas domination
of the sprints and relays that had
made the Eagles hot contenders
the year before. Houston won both
baton events, grabbed 13 points
each in the 100 and 220. and show-
ed its engtomary distance talent

f tainers. The NTSC School of Mu-
I sic annually presents several big
A concerts and hundreds of recitals.
A As for art, both TWU and NTSC
H have galleries where works of both
■ major and student artists are dis-
■ played. Periodically, each school
■ also features touring exhibitions of
■ non - student work.
| A permanent exhibition of primi-
■ tive art is on display in the TWU
I galleries. It’s called one of the

® And with all this, if the student

| — one at each college and the Den-
■ ton City • County Library — there
| are almost 400,000 volumes. Along
with branch college libraries for
specialised volumes, the best-sell-
ers are also available.

In the past two seasons. North
Texas State track men have dis-
covered the value of every point
— even fractional points — in a
track and field meet.
Take the 1958 North Texas Re-
lays, for instance, at the Fouts
Field track in Denton. It was the
seventh running of this major cin
der event. When the last event was
run, the top team scores came out
this way: North Texas 37 2-3,
Southern Methodist University
37 1-3, Abilene Christian 37.
Just as exciting was the 1958
competition of the Missouri Valley
Conference in Des Moines. Hous-
ton won the title with 38 points,
but was followed closely by North
Texas with 54% and Wichita with
52%.
In 1959 the same two big meets
saw the team champion grab first
with ease, but the same hot bat-
tles were waged for the next spot.
At the North Texas Relays it was

Incidentally, in addition to the
orchestra’s regularly scheduled
concerts in Dallas and other out-
of-town engagements, it will per-
form in 16 subscription concerts
from late November of this year
through early April of 1960. Vio-
linist Isaac Stern is scheduled to
play at the Jan. 18 concert.
Marking the beginning of the
fine arts season out of Denton will
be an appearance in Dallas of the
Howard Payne College theatre
group of Brownwood. Actors and
actresses from this group will re-
peat their verion of William
Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer
Night’s Dream” done in a West
Texas setting. The group won criti-
cal acclaim when it took the play
to England this summer.

As 1959 freshmen, they set no
less than 13 school records, so they

assignment.
Particularly outstanding were
Bud Morgan, whose 22.8 seconds
in the low hurdles was one of the
nation’s best for the year; Richard
Menchaca, whose freshman 880

varsity record; and John Cooper, •
