by Kris Blank Accents on culture will highlight the 1963 Fine Arts Festival to be held on the weekend of March 22.
by Milt Nieuwsma Dubuque University Players of Iowa will present two guest performances of "The Winter's Tale" by William Shakespeare Friday and Saturday night, Nov. 9 and 10, at 8:15 p.m. in the Music Auditorium.
Creative and artistic abilities and activities of the student body and the faculty will be emphasized in the program, as was done in previous Fine Arts Festivals. No such festival was held last year due to lack ef interest and support Outstanding speakers and artists will also be invited to appear on campus during the festival. This part of the program is reminiscent of former academic homecoming programs. There was no academic homecoming this year, because it was felt that such a program would be more effective if held every other year rather than annually. Toynbee at Central The scheduled appearance of the world-renowned historian, Arnold Toynbee, on the Central College campus in February has raised questions jabout Hope's cultural program. Dr. William VanderLugt remarked on the subject: "Ideally, this (Toynbee's appearance) is what should be happening on a college campus." Although several attempts have been made to bring Toynbee to Hope on certain occasions, it has not been possible for him to come on those dates. VanderLugt added that he had heard that Toynbee often spoke over the heads of most students and was, therefore, perhaps not the most valuable person to hear, from an educational standpoint. Dr. John Hollenbach, vice-president of the college, remarked that he understood that Toynbee was "a bit disappointing as a public speaker."

The visit of the university drama group to Hope College is the second event of the year sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Commitee. The lecture by Ambassador Lodge was the first. A play from Shakespeare's fourth and last period, "The Winter's Tale" begins as a tragedy and ends as a comedy. The first three acts concern the harsh tragedy of a jealous husband (Leontes) and an innocent wife (Hermione) as seen against the background of court life. The last two compromise a delightful romance of young love (Florizel and Perdita), set in the charming simplicity of the countryside. "The Winter's Tale" was written at a time when Shakespeare felt unusually free to experiment with his stage. As are "The Tempest" and "Cymbeline," his other plays of the fourth period, "The Winter's Tale" is romantic, not realistic, and features a fantastic and improbable plot, a strong visual appeal, dancing and musical interludes. The play can be regarded as a sequel to "Othello." It deals with the same theme of a jealous husband driven to murder his wife, but in the latter play all is forgiven. To further the likeness to "Othello" Shakespeare invents a brilliant feminine char-

Ivan Dykstra, program committee; Lynne Adams and Charles Steketee, arrangements committee; Milton Nieuwsma and Clarence DeGraaf, publicity and printing committee.

VIOLINIST MILLARD TAYLOR
Leclair; Sonata I in G for Violin and Piano, by Brahms; Sicilienne and Rigaudon, by Kreisler; Vocalise, by Rachmaninoff; and Tzigane, by Ravel. Mr. Taylor studied at the Eastman School of ^ Music, and received the Eastman School Artist's Diploma, the highest award in music performance offered by that institution, upon his graduation. After two years of experience with the Rochester Civic and Philharmonic orchestras, and further study in violin under William Kroll, Mr. Taylor, at the age of 25, was chosen by Hans Kindler to become concertmaster of the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. During his six-year association with that organization, he participated in performances under many conductors, and with the most famoust vocal and instrumental soloists of the present day. He also appeared successfully on a number of occasions as soloist with the orchestra. In 1944 he left Washington to become concertmaster of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Eastman Rochester Orchestra for recordings under the baton of Dr. Howard Hanson; he also joined the artist faculty of the Eastman School of Music. Dr. Kooiker has had much experience as an accompanist with such artists as Alber Spaulding, Bronislav Gimpel, Arlie Furman and Edward Preador. Mr. Taylor and Dr. Kooiker have appeared frequently in the Rochester area under the auspices of the Eastman School of Music.
Voicing of frank, controversial and individual opinions created an atmosphere of interest at the first meeting of the Executive Council, held Monday evening in the Assembly Room. A call for final discussion of the use of the Juliana Room for dancing and informal attire resulted in an un-apathetic response on part of the students present at the meeting. General clamor for recognition resulted in the "Battle of Scriptures." First to voice his opinions against dancing on Hope's campus was freshman Jeff Jorgensen who felt dancing to be an "immoral type of activity." "I say this because it is a personal conviction of mine," added Jeff. "Wait a minute," spoke up Neal Goodrich. "I feel that, if it is a question of being a Christian or not, a person that dances may well be as good or perhaps better a Christian that a person who professes to be opposed to dancing. A person's conscience should be his guide." Jeff retaliated with, "We should be Christ-like and take joy in serving Him." Dick VanderBorgh reiterated with his interpretation of the New Testament, and added, "I seem to think Christ would kind of go for the Juliana Room." After this last remark a vote was taken on having dancing in the Juliana Room with the added stipulation that girls would have permission to wear bermudas. The proposal was referred to the Student Life Committee Tuesday afternoon. Final deliberations are expected to be concluded next week.
New President To Visit Campus • Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, who will become President : of Hope College next year, will visit the campus next week Sunday on through Wednesday. Dr. VanderWerf's primary purpose for the visit is to begin to get acquainted with the college personnel and operation. He will be meeting with faculty, administration, and board members, as well as informally with students. He will also lead the chapel service on Tuesday morning. Now chairman of the chemistry department at the University of Kansas, Dr. VanderWerf will also be briefed on the planning and policy formation now going on which will affect the situation which he will enter when he becomes president.
