A comparison of two recent TWC activities the Cele-
brity Series program ami the senior class melodrama — at
last reveals what the majority of students are "sick" of. and
what they really want.
What was the attendance last Wednesday night when that
great "celebrity" Martin Agronsky spoke in the Fine Arts
AuditoriujD on a now-over-used, over-heard, and over-tiring
subject based on his own political convictions? An enormous
150. *
And what was the attendance for the melodrama? A
doubled 150 300. What's more, out of the 150 at the Celebrity
Series night, only about 50 were TWC students. This shortage
of attendance cannot be blamed on students. Surely, the stu-
dents were lackadaisical about this so-called Celebrity Series.
Why shouldn't they be. ^

The four professor artists, Ele-

ner and Jean Turner from Arling-
ton State and TCU, respectively,
offer a good example of the dif-
ferent aspects of their work.

That would be too difficult, too confusing. Rather, it 1
should be that a "closed" Celebrity Series committee, com-
posed of only a few TWC students, should take it upon them-
selves. having been appointed by the Student Senate, to dele-
gate the'money received from all full-time students who pay
activity fees, to decide who tl)o*£guest celebrities" should be.
Why must a repeat of last year's controversy on this sub-
ject be necessary? Couldn't the failure of the series' speaker
last year — Howard K Smith, another prominent television
news analyst, have proved that the students aren't interested
in attending lectures at night, just because they happen to be
people away from TWC. The students could just as easily
have listened to a politically^iiased speech by a TWC pro-
fessor. as they could any Howard K. Smith or Martin Agronsky.
The large attendance at the melodrama Saturday night.
and the fun and laughter which the audience enjoyed proves
what the students like, what they want, and in what they would
like to have a say-so. »
This matter is concerned not so much with the type of
programs presented on Celebrity Series, even though it's
quite obvious a more lenient type is desired, "but is really
over the fact that the students, since they are provided some
of the funds, should have a choice or at least an opinion as
to the programs given.
When the Student Senate, or the "closed" committee or
whatever authority is now in charge, realizes this and takes
subsequent action on it. then the problem can be solved.
