It is in the theatre that all the seven arts — poetry, music, dancing, sculpture, painting, drawing, and architecture — come together and are arranged to form a complete, unified whole.

The dance is present in the bodily movement and gesture that is necessary for the proper interpretation and projection of the characters portrayed by the actors.

in t h e t h e a t r e .

Music is present in the total sound of the performance and the speech of the actors. Particular elements of music here are the rythm, melody and harmony.

The drama, itself, with its words, meter, imagery and other devices is the poetry or literature.

We realize the scenery, lightning effects, and decor of the settings to be the particular contribution of the graphic arts. Particular elements here are the use of line, mass, and color.

Tennyson, Browning, Shelley and others were not cognizant of this fact and consequently wrote 'closet dramas'; dramas which can never be presented on a stage eveii though -they can be read with great enjoyment.

A play should posses both literary excellence and inherent possibility for presentational success. The first, of course, is too often the fault of plays being written in our day.

It is commonly held that no one since the Greeks has achieved the highest form of drama — t h e tragedy. Ibsen, Miller and others have tried but changes in society have proved their attempts unsuccessful and now their works are referred to as serious dramas.

Many feel that only in the field of poetic drama can we achieve our goal. Others, that man today is not of heroic proportions.

The play must have significant meaning and value for those who are a part of it; "will it send them away better equipped to face life in some w a y ? " Certain questions "of morality must also be raised.

The Director The director is the author's representative. It is his respon-

Art in t h e t h e a t r e is f o u n d in s e t t i n g s like the o n e a b o v e .

Origin of Theatre Theatre began when primitive man added words to music and dance to portray his feelings and emotions. Theatre, as it was then, was concerned with worship, love, food getting, and so forth.

Art is religious in nature; man asks significant questions about self, universe, and so forth.

Man has become a creator. The theatre artists' highest aim is to provide catharsis, or a cleansing of the soul through the experiencing of the emotions fear and pity by the audience that is able to believe in the action going on.

This implies an attempt to present an illusion of life even though there is more of life presented in these few hours than would ordinarily take place in the same amount of time. Also implied is a truthful representation of life wherein elements are carefully selected, arranged and presented in such a way that the audience can believe what it is a part of.

The Theatre Organization The theatre can function in this direction only if its five component parts are actively present; the author of the play, the director of the production, the actors, the technicians, and the audience.

The Playwright Webster defines drama as "a composition in prose or verse portraying life or character by means of dialogue and action and designed for theatrical performance."

The playwright must carefully select his characters and endow them with certain attributes and characteristics that are significant to the conflict he presents. The conflict should be one that is of significance to all men: his characters must be true to life's experience. The outcome of the action also must be true to life's experience.

He must decide the form of the play — a drama, as the plays of Euripedes, Sophocles and Aeschylus; a melodrama such as Ibsen's Ghosts or Hedda Gabbler; a comedy as Moliere's Misan thrope or a farce such as Auntie Mame.

He must decide the development of the story of action. He must carefully order his elements.

It is imperative that he consider the limitations of the theatre his play will most likely be

sibility to interpret and express the conflict in terms of character and line as the author's intended meaning demands and to convey this to the audience.

them. Therein lies the true of the director. It is he who decides what is to be done, and actor who determines how that direction will be portrayed for audience."

The goal of the director is to create a work of art but also to provide an experience of growth and direction for the actors and the audience.

More specifically, the director is responsible for such matters as the choice of a play; casting; where the emphasis is placed in and on a play; stage grouping, movements; maintaining and acheiving the appropriate balance of aesthetic distance and empathy; maintaining the proper balance of rythmn, tempo and pace, remaining truthful to the author's meaning in his work; challenging the minds and spirits of his actors and audience; and others.

He works with and directs the work of the technicians.

I I I DRAMA The Technicians The technicians are responsible for the background of a play being presented on stage. Their goal is to present to the viewers a smooth running, well integrated production.

The technicians are of three types. The stage designer creates the stage setting for the play. Stylization, which depends on the audience's imagination; symbolism; and space staging are his particular tools in addition to several scenic styles in the modem theatre.

He must be able to exercise his imagination. He must try to believe in the action that is taking place; he must give the play a fair chance. He must « recognize his own personal feelings and prejudices in regard to certain matters and try to view the play objectively.

He should observe the work of all the artists that made the production possible. He must realize that the artist has a right to express himself in what - he considers the best way. And to ask—always—Goethe's three ' questions: What is the artist trying to do?

How well has he done it?

• Is it worth the doing?

The lighting technician has become of increasing importance since the value of colored light and illumination have been realized.

The costume designer designs all the costumes for a given production.

The considerations these people must give in terms of line, color, mass, are fairly obvious. Their work is very important and of various degrees of importance depending upon the production.

by Mary Gouwens Thirty people got off a Greyhound bus and entered the silent little glass chapel on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean at Portuguese Ben, California. As they viewed Wayfarers'-Chapel, the Symphonette members realized that their two-weekconcert tour was more than half over.

They pushed the thoughts of classes and studies from their minds once more and looked forward to a few more days of freedom from routine and reality.

During the past week they had seen and done any number of interesting things. The first was their departure from Holland on April 1, the beginning of two weeks of pleasure and work.

Passing through the bleak, midwestem plains the symphonette members first saw the foothills of the Rockies, then the mountains themselves. _ The _ warm, sunny city of Denver next greeted them with the first promises of spring — green lawns.

The Actor The actor's contribution is the creation of a given character who functions in the play with other characters. To do this well, he must have an emotional understanding of the character he will portray. In short, he must play the part the author has written.

To do this he can live the part of the character, or he can interpret the character in terms of himself.

Either way, his work is not easy. He receives a great amount of training — actors are made, not born. He spends long hours studying, and using and his imagination; acting is hard work, physically, mentally, vocally.

Good actors have talent, great actors have an added spiritual quality.

The Audience The theatregoer must realize that the theatre is the synthesis of all the arts and that many people have worked toward the production of this play. The theatre is not there to provide a convenient, temporary escape for his problems. The theatregoer has certain obligations.

Once again they had traveled across plains, this time in northern Colorado and Yyoming. For a second time mountains began to appear. One evening, riding through the lofty peaks, the bus rounded a turn, putting Salt Lake City in full view.

In San Francisco some of the Symphonette members went to Fishermen's Wharf, others to Chinatown.

After leaving Phoenix, Arizona, the Symphonette took a small detour of 800 miles to Grand Canyon. Thirty people peered over the rim while camera shutters clicked madly.

Even though it may seem impossible, the Symphonette did give concerts on this tour. They developed the ability to get into formal dress, set up a stage, and tune up in record time.

They returned to school on April 16, tired and behind in work, but satisfied that they had spent a profitable two weeks.

Who's Going to Learn What

Encounter With An Intellectual

From Whom?

Balancing my coffee cup de- licately between my index finger and my thumb, I cleared the accumulated napkins off the sticky table, put the cup down without spilling a drop, and procured a chair from the other side of the room. I leaned back, glad of the opportunity to relax until third hour began.

The room was so thick with smoke that I at first had some trouble making out the form that sat huddled, in the attitude of Rodin's "The Thinker" (As f a r as such a thing is possible when one is seated in a curvedbacked chair) at the opposite end of the table. But when my eyes had become accustomed to the blue-gray haze, I saw that he was obviously a student. He was wearing a paisley print shirt with button-down collar, a pair of wash pants, and a beard.

His hair was uncombed. He made no move and did not speak, preferring to listen to the others. The discussion had to do with the relative merits of one type of shaving lotion as over against another, and the crassness of the subject was apparently distateful to him.

Leaning over and asking, in a whisper, who he was, the senior sitting next to me said, in the same whispering tone, "An intellectual. He's brooding."

We must confess that at the beginning of this school year we were naive enough to believe that the chapel ticket machines would not last longer than a month at most. We expected the administration to find itself shamed out of them the first time we had an outside speaker.

Speakers and assemblies and "Spiritual Life Week" came and went, but the ticket machines went and came back again.

Hasn't this farce gone about f a r enough? Campus conflicts have come and gone; most of them centered around some sort of when-are-we-going-to-be-treated-as-adults idea, even the trifles about women's clothing and the unspoken struggle about women's smoking rights. Whether or not Hope women are allowed to indulge their neurotic craving for nudity is a matter of small import; but the matter of ticket-taken chapel attendance—• and more than that, the whole philosophy behind the chapel attendance requirement— is one that needs immediate and drastic revision if Christian practice on this campus is to be anything but a breeder of inwardly agnostic parrots. One wonders how many high school graduates with perfect-attendance Sunday School pins have graduated from here as agnostics because of the administration's religious authoritarianism.

Of course the administration is always wholeheartedly behind any attempt to demonstrate that Christianity is more than the ability to recite all the Scripture verses which prove Christ's divinity: that Christianity is rather a life, action as well as words, thought as well as action. So are we. We only wish to point out that from eight o'clock to eight twenty A.M. five days a week, Hope students are effectively taught that Christian living consists of keeping a seventy per cent attendance record at chapel services; that the teachings of Christianity are too boring to be capable of existing without that same attendance requirement, and that Pharisaism makes a perfectly good substitute for Christianity.

What is going to be done?

Day

Approaches

Approaching hand and hand with this charmed season are the traditional events which characterize Spring ' on Hope's Campus.

-r * The biggest and best of these annual activities is May Day. Aside from Homecoming in the fall, it is the most festive and anticipated all college activity of the year.

From the cheers and jeers of the women's athletic events in the morning until the last melody fades out at midnight in the Civic Center, there is something diverting for everyone to enjoy.

The activities are both geneneral ones for all the students like the sports events. May Day Banquet, and All-College Formal, and special ones that individual classes are responsible for such as the freshman Daisy Chain, the sophomore May-Pole Dance, the coronation of the queen and her court of junior class women, and the tapping ceremony performed by the senior Alcor women.

m

May Day is a celebration sponsored by the Women's Activity League and involves the efforts of many student leaders and faculty members.

Under the direction of general chairman Sharon Van't Kerkhoff, plans and preparations are under way now for this years "Salute to Spring".

Some of the other important people behind this years festival are Sharon Beck, the Junior Assistant and Coronation Chairman; Arlene Cizek, Publicity Director; Jean Scholten and Cynthia Vander Myde, Women's Sports Chairman, Dan Ritsema and Bruce Brink, Men's Sports Chairmen, S h a r o n N e s t e , Awards; Leona Jansen, Banquet General Chairman; S h a r o n Crossman, All-College Formal, and Peter Geitner, Master of Ceremonies.

Friday, May 6, is the day we are all looking forward to and will be hearing much about in the next few days.

"Oh", I replied.

I have always had a soft spot in my heart f o r brooding young intellectuals ever since I read "Crime and Punishment" and other novels which deal with intellectuals whose custom it is to brood just when the conversation gets exciting, so offering him a cigarette, I said, "I'm Rich Jaarsma."

He dealt me a cursory blow of the eye, as the French say, and replied in a tired voice, "I smoke a pipe."

"Oh." I rejoined, "My mistake. Cigarettes too expensive?"

A look of horror passed over his face, and reaching in his pocket, he brought out a shiny, new pipe. Deliberately filling it, he announced, "I have always smoked a pipe."

I tried a new tack.

"Have you read Camus' "The Fall"?"

"Camus," he told me, "Is an ass."

"Oh." I said again. Usually, I have no trouble with intellectuals. We exchange cigarettes, compare brands, and launch into an invective against the smoking industry. I sometimes sneak in the name of a philosopher or two, but this by and large, goes unnoticed, and then I know that this person is as

"What do you s u g g e s t ? " I asked, knowing that we would soon be f a s t friends.

"A return to reason and therefore sanity." He almost shouted and a dedicated gleam came into his eyes.

"Like Descartes?" I asked.

"Descartes?" He looked puzzled and insulted.

"The philosopher." I helped.

"Ah, yes," he breezed, "I thought you had said Sartre."

"No. Descartes."

No one heard and he left quickly, almost knocking over my friend Robert, who sensed a discussion at our table, and was fairly skimming along the passageway in anticipation.

"Too late," I said, "He left."

"But the hour's only half over." He said plaintively.

Attended Eta Sigma Convention On April 1 and 2, Coralie Wolf and Bruce Parsil represented the Gamma Rho chapter of the national Classical f r a ternity, Eta Sigma Phi, at the 32nd National Convention in Huntington, West Virginia.

Hope College has had delegates at both conventions since the local chapter was formed under the guidance of Professor Wolters two and one-half years ago.

The main part of the convention consisted of a discussion of the work and problems of the past year, nomination and election of new national officers, and formulation of plans for the next annual convention which will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I t is to the credit of our chapter t h a t in so short a time of activity it has been recognized by the other chapters and that one of its members, Bruce Parsil, was nominated for the presidency of the national organization.
