J"~Jhe I o/cc oi the Student $ —
Jneffedi ve L xcept in lie
What a welcome experience it was for me to have to'wait
in line for almost ten minutes in order to vote last Thursday.
Some may criticize the intensity with which some of the
campaigns were conducted, but there can be no question as
to the numerical results at, the polls. Interest was so well
„ aroused that a record turnout was recorded in voting. And
this in a school where for the past few years half that figure
was regarded as a g®od showing.
Congratulations and best wishes are certainly in order
for the winners but they, as well as their opponents, have al-
ready done an invaluable service to Texas Wesleyan College.
They have made more students aware of student government.
This is a prime qualification if student government is to exist
with any degree of efficiency.
The important task for us now as students is to help our
"student representatives to help us. This we can do, not simply
by agreeing Vith everything they do. but by taking an in-
terest in what they do. The interest whit# has been built up
this year in Jdtident government might be outspoken at times
such as in the case of the Celebrity Series, but it is a welcome
alleviation from the unhealthy atmosphere of indifference
,, which had been firmly,, entrenched "upon our campus.
By taking .an interest in our school government and by
voting in all school elections we can see to it that our repre--
. seiifastives and their policies reflect the voice of the student
body and not that we have. failed to use that voice.

By the time this editorial is printed the result of the
Student Association elections will be known. We will know
who our officers will be for the coming year. We will have
paid the highest tribute we can possibly pay to a democratic
society. We will have elected our officers by the democratic
process of majority vote. This is the very thing that literally
thousands of Americans have fought and died for.
The college campus is the training ground of tomorrow's
leaders. It is here that we get our training for our place in
tomorrow's world. What we learn here will be what will
determine our world of .tomorrow. w
These last elections and their accompanying ,campaigns
have been vastly different from previous elections on the TWC
campus. They have been different in that they have aroused
student interest. More people have voted in this election than
ever before. Interest has been sparked in these elections that
was unprecedented in previous elections.
It matters little which candidate you voted for and it also
matters little which candidate won. The real important issue
in this campaign is the fact that YOU voted. That you ex-
pressed your opinion and took part in student government.
It is now our duty to close ranks and get behind the
elected officials and give them our support. It is time to
forget, our differences and work together. This is the secret
of a democratic society . . . the ability to accept the will of
the majority and present a solid front.
Do not let this spark of student interest die. This is a
sacred §£ark that must be nourished and built into a flame.
This is the thing that has made our country strong in the
past and through the future leaders of tomorrow's world it will
continue to make our country strong if, and only if, we
deem it so.

San Antonio Meet
Dr. H. Howard Hughes, chair-
man of the Division of Languages
and Literature, attended a meet-
ing of Chairmen of English De-
partments at the Gunter Hotel in
San Antonio on April 3.
This meeting was followed by
an early morning session on April
4, when members of the College
English Association listened to dis-
cussions of pedagogical problems
by Professors J. D. Thomas of
Rice University and John Hicks
of Southern Methodist University.
There was stress upon the prob-
lems in the teaching of freshman
English.
The remainder of the day was
spent in three sessions of the an-
nual meeting of the Texas Confer-
ence of College Teachers of Eng-
lish. The program for the morn-
ing session contained five papers
an approaches to the study of
Shakespeare's greatest tragedy,
King Lear. The occasion was the
celebration of the 400th anniver-
sary of the birth of Shakespeare.'
The subject of the main ad-
dress during the luncheon was
"Shakespeare, 1964." The speaker
was the noted scholar from Glas-
gow University, Andrew Cairn-
cross, who has recently edited the
three Henry VT plays of Shakes-
peare, >yhich have long been much
neglected until the recent revival
at the Shakespeare Theatre in
Stratford, England Professor
Cairncross is a visiting professor
at Hardin Simmons University.
Four miscellaneous papers on
Shakespearean topics were heard
ifi.the afternoon session.
In the evening Dr. Hughes at-
tended a gala performance of the
Ephron play entitled "Take Her,
She's Mine," which was a part of
the celebration of the fil'ty-second
birthday of the San Antonio Little
Theatre.

This being income tax time, '
Community Theatre has taken its
golden opportunity to make a
spoof of government bureaucracy
in""Two Blind Mice." Samuel Spe-
wack is the author o£ this story of
two sisters in their later years
who put Washington on - its ear
with their "lost department."
Frances Scott and Ouida Guth-
rie are equally convincing in their
roles as the "two blind mice." Al-
though this is Mrs. Scott's" first
leading role in a major production
at Community, her stage presence
is not lacking in any way. Miss
Guthrie always gives a top-rated
performance.
Community Theatre's Resident
director, Bjll Garber, is taking a
little Vacation • while Erwin Stint
directs this show. Mr, Garber
plays a newspaper man who takes
over the old ladies' lost depart-
ment, much to the dismay of his
x-wife played by Doris Gramm,
We'd always thought Garber to
be a fine director which makes it
doubly fine to watch him perform-
This play marks the 50th pro-
duction of Community Theatre
since its first play was produced
in January, 1956. ','Two Blind Mice"
will continue Wednesday through
Saturday, April 15-18. - Reserva-
tions may be made by calling the
theatre at TE S-8612.
Flight From Ashiya opens to-
morrow at the Worth Theatre.
This new adventure film is con-
cerned 'with the men who risk
their lives for others in the U. S.
Air Rescue Service. It stars Rich-
ard Widmark, Yul Brymjer, George
Chakiris and Suzy Parker.
Dr. Strangelove Or: How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and
Love the Bomb returns to Fort
Worth Thursday. The top-rated
satire about the U.S. military will
play an exclusive return engage-
ment at the Bowie Theatre. Star-
ring in the picture are Peter Sell-
ers, George C. Scott and Sterling
Hayden.
The Academy Awards last night
should certainly be stimulating at
the boxoffices around town. Tom
Jones at the 7th Street- Theatre
leads the list with 10 nominations.
Cleopatra at the Ridglea and How
the West Was Won at the Holly-
wood follow close behind with 9
and 8 respectively, (Sorry, but
we couldn't get the winners in this
■printing.)
Seems that Fort Worthers hated
to see Joy Garrett go as she hand-
ed down her crown to the new
Miss Fort Worth, Lenda Varley.
Casa Manana was packed for the
occasion, and Joy received three
standing ovations. Gasps could be
heard throughout the chilled audi-
ence as Joy sang "Smile Though
Your Heart Is Breaking."
The Wesleyan Singers, ^6-strong,
left this morning on their 17th an-
nual tour; they will return April
20. The tour of Central and South

ton, Crosby, Texas City, Brazoria,
