'Bridge, Anyone?' Dear Ed1 tor·

With a. great deal of fear m my heart, I would like to under take the the task of cntlCJzing a recent l etter that appeared m the Mercury , " Monk Defends Ltbrary".

F~rst , I would like to day that I am sure we have a very eff1cen t English department From the looks of Monk 's letter, ItS no wonder Dr. Miller has troubl e With umnterested s tudents m reqmred English courses. I am refernng to the sentence fragments that appeared in thi s c rJtlClsm. not to menuon the misspelling of "crannys" for "crannies." I too have spellmg problems, but dJ CtJonaries are punt· ed for thiS purpose. Monk should vastted the Ltbrary 1

.Second, Mr. Carls on does deserve a great deal or credi t for the trans formation that h as taken place in the library, but what o f Mr. Shaffer? I t seems, H I remember right , t hat he was respon s ible for the initia l plans and for securing the initial money for the new li­

brary. Next. I would ltke to pomt out ano th er 1nconststency wllhtn our

library. Some say that 1f you know certa1n peopl e employed there , you can have matenal xeroxed for nothmg. I wonder tf tht s 1s true? If It ts, I must not know the nght people. Now, I must agree that the library t s modern and comfortable and a good place to swdy when you can fmd r ecent penodtca ls to use. and that a qu1et atomosphere pre· va1ls.

Once when we were in the old library, I saw a girl take a maga­zine from the library with the knowledge of the person then on duty . This surely would not be happening i n the new library -·would it? Maybe it would not be such a bad idea to h ave a policeman stand by the door to search us when we leave; at leas t we might be able to have mat erial to work with when we need it. Maybe we could use him in th e nooks and "crannies " to supervise our personal conduct, too, But I doubt that one would be enough to control t he " passion pit.'.

To complete my cntlc1sm, I thmk that a set or rules should be posted. along wtth a list or fmes charged, and that all persons should ab1de by them I mtstakenly took a reference book from the library to study, thmk1ng that all that was requaed was that I have 1 t back wtthm two hours. I was wrong. as well as bemg two mtnu tes late 10 r eturmng tt (who could tell what time It was lhe way the clocks were?) and I was fm ed 25 or 30 cents. The fm e was nothmg, but I was embarrassed by the bluntness or those who worked at the c1rculauon desk.

I tlunk that any student has the ngh t to complam when h1s grades are withhel d due to the m1 stake of someone el se, espectally when he has done all w1thm h1s power tocorrect h1s error

Finally , let me say that our books are poorly shelved, or, per­haps, poorly reshel ved. Do we not have enough employees in our new building to do something about this? Or are they busy doi ng somethin g el se? Err---B ridge anyone?

W M O'Dell Second F1eld L1 brary Sc1ence

P S May I al so say that I feel tha t the student body has been "had" 1n reference to our yearbooks. Perhaps I was miSJOformed or unm­formed, but I was under the 1mpresston that when w e voted to pay for the yearbooks m our reg1strat10n fee that thiS mcluded our p1ct· ure also. Well , I was sadly m1sta.ken. I d1d not have the two dollars to pay for my picture at that ume so I guess I will have to hand copi es out to all students rece1vmg a yearbook and let lh em paste It tn .

Oh well , who would want my picture anyway? All I have done IS

complam . By the way, where does that two dollars go'

Students Urged To Support, Attend Campus Activities

On November 18, Gl enville State College wtll once agam be the s1te of the annual Sad1e Hawkm s Dav. Th1s 1s perhaps the most fun·f1lled weekend of the year for esc college stu· den ts.

The m\yor of Dog P at.ch , a­long with Marryin' Sam, the Dirty Skagg Brothers, the Skunk Holler Boys, L ' il Abner, Daisy Mae, and many other charact ers , will be on hand to greet all of those students wh11 attend.

Thts weekend J.!i spon~ored by The ta X1 Fraternity members who have worked diligently 10

prepanng all of the actiVItieS. Sad1e llawkms Day w1ll IJe Ute

th 1rd maJOr weekend sponsored by c~eek orgamzatJOns. Tau Kappa Eps1lon Fraternity spon­sored the poorly attended Pl3y· boy Dance and Al pha S1gma Sororny sponsored the Autumn Leaves Dance (WhiCh, through no fault of then own, was can· celed).

So far , the student apathy which bas beeo displayed at these events has been dtplor­able. Y et , these students are the rirst ones to complain about " nothing to do at GSC."

W1thout the studen t support, these weekends will conunue to be unsuccessful and thus force the Greek orgam zataons to can· eel th ese even ts. Without the Creek orgamzat10ns. OlenvJlle State's act1 vtt1es will take ap­proximately an 80% cut.

Anyone can see that the suc­cess of these soctal events de­pends upon the suppor t or the student body. But, the student body must depend on the Greeks to hold these socaal arratrs Jf they want acti VItieS.

Students must start supporung these soctal events now. Attend Sadte Hawkms Day and have a ball.

Have You the Correct Time? Dear Editor

Why IS Glenville hve mmutes ahead of the world' If a person would take the ume to not1ce he would nouce that esc 1s a pro· gress1ve school ·· f1ve mmutes so, that as.

We at the college may be umque 10 bemg the fnst m the world at certam thmgs · such as fast clocks. but a person must realize that these fast clocks cause complex s1tuanons

Case number one John Doe has tak en h1s date Sus1e Smart to the Cove (a local n1ght spot) T he lime by the " M1ckey Mouse on John's wnst g1ves h1m exactly twenty-one mmutes t.o dnve Sus1e back to the dorm and collect h1s " CNK" Sus1e enters the donmtOrv door at two ul\ eleven. she ts two mmutes ear ly by the world thre~ mmutes late by the college.

Case number two Bartholomew P. Student has an eleven-fifteen class. He saunters nonchalantly mto cl~s at eleven-thuteen by ll'e world's t1me · eleven·etghteen by the schoors ume. B P S 1s late.

Case number three Ceraldme Glutton waddles up to the college cafetena door thmkmg that she IS getung there nght at openmg t1me. But she IS ftve mmutes early. The aroma Sifting to Ceraldme standlng outside the door Stimulates her appente suffJcientl)• to cause her stomach to growl Th1s IS very embarrassmg w CeraldipE:.

These cases I have Cited are JUSt a few of the sacnfices made by students have a progressive school. But progress IS progress.

And 1n conclusiOn, may I ask why the clocks are fasL In other words, who set the clocks' The httle old clock setter or the l tttle old wme dnnker?

Yearbook Question Still Unanswered Complamts bave been wh1sper·

ed among the student body. Edi· tonal s haVe, wntten concemmg the K anawbachen. Now, the stu· d~nts or Glenville State College have been cal led M1ce1

Most CSC students are m1ce because tney cannot afford the luxury of mtegnty. The mam goal of the college student should be an educatton, but as a resul t or the Suppression of the md1 vtdual ' s 1deas tn lhe class· room, many are forced LO re· ce1 ve only a degree.

Can we afford to be men when soc1ety pl aces so much empha­SIS on a degree? T he sutdent has cast as1de the values of yester· day, regardless of lhetr Immense Impor tance. Why express a per· sonal opinion when the eXpress· 10n of truth w1ll only result tn ndi cule for the honest person' When we stand up for our own op1010ns, we stand alone.

Despi te the fact that the stu· dent body was very upset be· cause they were forced to pur­chase a yearbook and then pay an additi onal two dollar por· trai t fee, it was more advant· ageous to remam s1lent. there·

by expressmg a negauve attt· tude or "put up" and "shut up. "

As far as I can ascerwn, the pnce of mtegrny ts too htgb 1n today's modem society, wh1ch includes our small Clenvtlle campus. The worid is a cruel and competltlve place where a kn1ght tn shmmg armor lS soon tam1shed. To be a success one must be the proverbtal "yes" man, agreemg wholeheartedly w1th those tn authonty, despite hi S mner convJcttons.

As I See 'Em b\' Kt'n Cutnght

Strength and caliber or football played 1n the West V~rg1ma Inter­collegiate Athleuc Conference as compared to other conferences across the nat1on has left little to be doubted after Saturday's foot· '>all game at East-West stadiUm m Faumont.

T he " F ighting Falcons" of Fairmont State College upended pre­viously unbeaten Waynesburg, tbe nUJiber one NAJA team in the country, 7-0 before an estimated crowd or 10,000, the largest ever to see a football game ln that town.

Bes1des bemg the number one NAIA team m the natiOn, Waynes· brug was al so defendmg nauonal champs, number two 1n the NCAA small college poll and rated alongs1de maJOr college teams as one of the best m the East.

Coacb DeP asqua's Yellow Jackets carried credentials claiming to be the best in the country . Waynesburg's highly touted offense was averaging over 60 points per game coming into the Fairmont ga.me, while lbelr defense was allowing only four - - and t-hat was tbe second team derense. F airmont was the first. team to score on their regular defensive unit tbis season.

Waynesburg's offenstve team was averagmg an unbelievable 505 1 yards per game tota l offense. 274 5 rushm g and 230 7 pass· 1ng, the best tn the nation Their defense was ranked tenth, allow­tog only 166 yards total o ffense, 54 rush1ng and 122 passmg.

Famnont's defens1ve umt stunned th1s m1ghty offens1ve machme. Waynesburg managed only 54 yards rushmg and completed 2-14 passes for 22 yards, makmg a total offense o r 76 yards, about a seventh of what they have been averagmg. Waynesburg gamed only four rust downs. all m the rust half. Th1s 1s quae a feather m the cap of Fcnnont and the WVIAC

Last year wben \Vaynesburg was National Champs, they crushed nearly every opponent in their path. One exception was W. Va. Wes­leyan , another team ln the WVIAC team. With les s tban a minute to play, We sleyan led 7-6 and Waynesburg controlled the ball some­where around t.beh own 40. A 60-yard scoring pass gave the Yellow J&ckets the victory, but & hard one in which tbey were forced to play catch-up baJl , anot.ber fact pointing out the caliber of ball play­ed 1n the WVIAC.

Tbe loss to Famnont was the end of an 18 game wmnmg streak for Waynesburg, dating beck to 1965, when they lost 7-6 to Musk· mgum.

Fa1rmont, the l eague leader With a 7-0 record yet must beat Con· cord to wm Lhe WVIAC tale. An undefeated season would almost assuredly glVe them a berth m the NAJA playoff and a chance to remforce the proof Lhey have already shown that the WVIAC tS one of lhe best NAIA conference m the country.

On Lhe next play. Haught covered the remammg distance for h1s second TO of the day. Frost agatn ki cked the PAT and Glenville had a 14-0 halftime lead.

B luefield took the second half kick orr and, failing to gain the neccessary yardage, punted to Glenville, who pmmpt.ly fumbled, giving Bluefield the ball on their own 33 . A fourteen y ard pass to Edgar James and a four yard run by Ollie put the ball on the Pi oneer 48. A series of n ine straight passes , three of which were Incompl ete, gave Bl uefield their only score of the day. The last one was a four yard pass from Van Dyke Lo Tote good for tbe TD; James kick le£t the score at 14-7.

Clenv!lle took the ensuing kick­orr and put the ball m play on their OW!'r' 32. A one-yard run and an mcompl et1on left the Pioneers with a thnd and mne situation, when Mc Phail hit Deem down the middle.

Deem bulled over the defens1ve halfback, broke 1nto the clear and rambled 50 yards before be1ng hauled down from behmd at the 17 yard line. Four plays later Jml Junn went over from the one and Frost aga1n k1cked the extra po1nt as Clenville led 2 1-7.

Beach Terms 'Comedy of Errors' Success; Capacity Audience Attends Touring Show

By Stewart Beach

Monday night's October 30 produc tion of The Comedy of Errors by the American Classi ­cal Theatre Second Touring Company was a success. It was not, however, (and here I take the critic 's prerogati ve to c riti­que an aud1ence as well as a theatrical production) worthy of a standing ovation. Standing ovations are reserved for th e Second Coming and other God· like even ts such as human per­fecti on. Monday night bore wit­ness to neither.

But eood theatre need not be mysti cal. Its chief objective des pi te genre, i s ente rtainme nt (i. e ., wholly a bsorbing an audience's attention for the time span of a production). Any pro­duction o f The Comedy of Errors would be hard pressed to ful· fill thi s obligation; the Ameri· can Classical Theaue' s pro· du ction carne very close to sue· ceeding. The play i s tediou~;

even Plautus' Roman original, from which Shakes peare borrow· ed heavily, is difficult to follow in script form.

Sha kespeare, with his Renais ­sance love for thoroughness and grande ur, took the double-identi­ty theme and doubled it, and then played upon it in every con­ceivable way. With s uch overly long confus ion , a certain degree o r audience fatigue, a lthough not desirable, can be expected .

My qui bble is not, and should not be. wi th the scn pt, but with the presentation . There were several instances when thea tri· cal ineptness destroyed my will· ing suspension of di s bel ief. That Danie l Chodos as Anti· pholus of Ephesus and Timothy Taylor as Antipholu s of Syra· cuse di d not look al ike I ac­cepted (I coul d hardly hope that they would); that both of them dropped lines (Mr. Chodos smil · ing at h1s guilt), I did not ac-cept.

I was impressed by the use of pantomine (door knocking and gate closing) and by the accom­panying s ound e ffects (taped and live off-stage), but at one point the Elizabethan-flavored music which did s o much to uni­fy and move the pl ay from scene to scene sounded more like it belonged to Billy Mins ky than William Shakespeare (the puls­ating drum beat shattered my il­lusion). These are only minor points and belong in the same category as "what happened to the s undial in the second act," but they count .

Pos itive facto rs of the pro· duction, however, certain ly out· weigh the negative one. Chief among these "plus" elements was the genera l handling of the show. The Comedy of Errors i s a farce, not a witty comedy. And i t was pl ayed for what it i s. In fact, it was the farci al in· ven ted business that gave the

production its appeal. The American Classical

Theatre seems to have taken its cue from the same source as Shakes peare: Roman comedy­rio roarin£. ineverent, kick­'em-in-the-pants comedy. Much or Shakespeare's humor was lost on t he audience (where the fault lies I am not swe: I tend to divide th e g uilt between the actor's weakness in delivering the sense or t he lines , and the audience's inability to under­st and i t), but the sight gags and slapstick brought spontaneous Iaugher and kept the production lively and alive.

The two Drom10s are responsi· ble for carrying and forwardmg much of the action of the play: Randall Hines and Jon Shirl ey portrayed these two characters ably met the obligation of their rol es. Equally impressive, and yet a minor character, was Maggie Peach as the Courtesan . She was never idle or out of character when she was on s t age.

Other supporting characters were also well-played, but nearly all were guilty of "check· in g the house" or just not be­ing in the scene at some time during the production.

A c r itic's business is to be observant. He has the distaste· fu l o bligation to "catch things" that actors hope he won't. But it is not the business or the c ritic to hann a good show. The Comdey of Errors was in many ways excellent. It was ruthful to the scri pt, to the genre, and to the audience' s hopes for en­joyment.
