Scampers Break~ T ra.dition; DeBenedictis Musical . Slated

SCAJ[PERS, ltlmca College's annnul student 11ro1lucUon, this year will be wbat is commonly known us a "book" show, tJmt Is, 11 musical drama which lms a unifying plot or story~ It Is tile nature of "book~ 8ilows that they cannot be effedlnily written by a large numl,er of con­tributing authors, as has boon tJ1e case "·ltl1 the "nirlety" tn,e of show wlticlt lu1s been popular in recent yea.rs of SCA)lPERS history.

'l'he show to be produced this year was written by Richard De­Ilenedi-ctis, who will also direct. It should be clearly understood by all those who may feel that this is unfair or monopolistic, that the selection of this year's Scampers was made by a unanimous vote of the members of The Oracle Society, which sponsors Scampers and members of the faculty advisory committee. This committee is com­posed of Miss Joanne Deisig, Mr. Lloyd :.reeker, Dr. John Ogden, and ~!rs. Helen Hood. The vote was taken after the group had the op­portunity to examine both the "book" show an1l such variety ma­terial as had been written for con­tribution to this year's Scampers, It should also be pointed out that the production of a "book" show is by no means unprecedented. Al­though the merr,'>ry· of the present student body includes only past Scampers productions of the varie­ty type, the minutes of The Oracle Society for the past years indicate that there was a time when "book" shows were the accepted practice.

All students interested in par­ticipating in Scampers are urged to watch the bulletin boards closely, as singing, dancing, and acting tryouts will be in progress by the time this information goes to press. Those interested in doing technical work should consult the person in charge of the field in which they are interested, as indicated below.

The second and third cut-tings will be made at the Little Theater. ·

The make-up of the three pro­grams will consist primarily of modern Christmas carols, in accordance with the desires of Florence Reif, Supervisor of Re­ligious Radio Programs and Edu: cational Features of NBC. In a letter to :\Ir. Harold Hansen, Direc­tor of Publicity of Ithaca College, she commented upon the excellence of the choir and stated, "Because of the wide scope of the Choir's repertoire, we would be particu­larly interested in the lesser-.known

Annual Christmas Concert Dec. 18th

The Ithaca College Choir, direct­ed by :\Ir. Donald B. Bube, will hold its annual Christmas program at 8: 15 p.m., Wednesday evening, December 18, in the Little Theater.

Both modern and traditional carols will be presented by the

50-voice mixed -choir. These will include such numbers as "The Kentucky Wassail Song," "Koly­ada," "Deck the Hall," and "God Rest 'Ye :\lerry Gentlemen," the latter being an arrangement by Warren Benson, Assistant Pro­fessor of :\lusic at Ithaca College.

The evening's performance will contain works by Schein, Sweel­

(Continued on page 2)

The purpose or the. recital, according to the College Jazz So­ciety, is to "bring jazz out of the dens and bars and give it respect and dignity that it deserves ... ja;z 1loes have·a place in American music .... the greatest curtailment in the advancement of jazz is the indifferent attitude towards it ... this music needs to be given a chance. Thursday's concert will be )lresented as a recital, not a ses­sion ... " A speaker for the Jazz Society will deliver an introductory and ba~kground commentary to open the program. John Peditto, Program Director of WIT J, will conduct the recital as master of ceremonies.

The :O.!arkewich Quintet won a great deal of favorable comment after their impressive appearance at the Randall's Island Jazz Carni­val last summer, where they played to an audience of nearly 20,000. John S. Wilson of the Xew York Times and Paul Beckley of the New York Herald-'frlbuue, both widely recognized authorities in this field of jazz, gave the group "very promising" notices.

Leonard Feather and Dom Cer­ulli, who reviewed the Randall Island concert in the October 3rd issue of ·Uownheat Jlagazlne, had only praise for the group. Feather devoted two full paragraphs in his review of the quintet, saying, "The Reese :\Iarkewich quintet, led by a 21 year old psychology )llajor at Cornell University who plays an -excellent flute and piano, won over 14 other groups in a contest to select an unknown outfit for un­veiling at the festival.

Commenting on behalf of the 1957 production staff, production manager Jon Farwell stated: "It is the goal of this year's Scampers production staff to set a new and very high standard for Scampers production. This intention is not to be conatrued as the usual 'pub­licity release' statement Among administrative and faculty circles there has been considerable feeling in recent years that Scampers has outlived its usefulness and be­come a burden to the college. This is not an unjustified feeling. Stu­dent administration of Scampers bas, in recent years, been for vari­ous reasons substandard, and the result, has been intramural dlseon­tent and bad public relations. Some voices have been raised to the effect that Scampers should be dis­continued because it cannot hope to measure up to the standards of such' Drama Department produc·­tions as South Pacific and Briga• doon. This seems at first glance

Cerulli added, "The :O.!arkewich quintet contributed a thoroughly professional performance highlight­ed by the often dazzling baritone work of Nick Brignola".

Students who have been perplexed by the removal of the Annex bulletin board will be anxious to learn the following:

The administration has disclosed that "large, new bulletin boards have been placed in the Snack Bar so that •notices and posters placed on the·m may reach more of the student body. The Snack Bar pro­vides a central location since most physical education and music majors past their sophomore year do not meet in the Annex classrooms.

"The Snack Bar bulletin boards are under the complete jurisdic­tion of the Student Council. Organizations and individuals should contact the Council with questions as to the number and size of posters and notices they wish to display." . On the subject of mail boxes, the administration went on to state, "College of Arts and Sciences, the area in the Annex formerly devoted to the bulletin board will be utilized for mail boxes for Arts and Science students for reasons of locational convenience. Because it is imperative that students re1'!r to these boxes daily, since notes and notices may be timely and significant, the change of location hopes to insure student access to such information."

The relocation of the Annex bulletin board was not in the best interests of the students at Ithaca College. The bulletin board was transferred from an ideal position to an inconvenient and poor lqcation in the Snack Bar. Apparently the relocation of bulletin boards was inaugurated with the best intentions on the part of the administra­tion. However, the change was far from practical.

The number of students that use the annex for rest room and lounge facilities, for classes, and for extra-curricular activity meet­ings during the day and during the evening so far outnumber the stu­dents that patronize the snack bar that the comparison is rediculous.

If the Snack Bar is more generally convenient for student com­munication, why does not the administration place mail boxes in or by the Snack Bar?

Dear Editor: The student committee respon­

sible for planning the Religious Emphasis Day program for Oe­cember 12th is to be commended. It is especially fortunate in having obtained the services of Reverend Glenn Olds.

Ithaca College, unlike rp.any in­stitutions of higher learning, was not founded as a denominational college. However, its stated ob­jectives follow the tenets of the Christian and Hebraic tradition.

Through the cooperation of the .clergymen of the community, the College encourages its students to continue to worship in the churches of their faith during their under­graduate years. In a like manner, the College wishes to go on record as strongly in favor of _the stu­dent movement for the establish­ment of a day set apart for en­couraging students to participate in a religious experience common to all faiths.

The faculty and administration of the College stand ready to a,ssist in this program in every way pos-sible. '

Merry Xmas Sandor ...

by DAN HEALY

It is December 24. A young boy rushes down the cold, bleak streets of Budapest. His name is Sandor. He is different from other boys. He is not expecting Santa Claus tonight. You see he was a freedom fighter; one of many that risked everything to brea}r. away from Communism. He, must be careful, because they are still being hunted by the authorities today.

He rushes into an alley and then into a doorway of a house. It is his aunt's house. "Merry Christ­mas" ~e says in a low whisper. The walls are bare, and there is no sign of Christmas cheer in this

More Physical Education and Music majors past _their sophomore year patronize more convenient lunch bars than they do the Snack Bar, and, in most cases find themselves in the annex more than in the Snack Bar.

The present position of the bulletin board in the Snack Bar causes the student an uncomfortable congested area only a few feet wide between a table and the wall, an area that, obviously by chance, causes the student to find himself standing in the buying line. If the student stands on the other side of the table, facing the board, he not Qnly has to strain his eyes for small and handwritten notices, but he must have x-ray vision to look through a line of students waiting to buy some­thing in the usually busy buying line area.

The Ithacan feels that the Student Council should have protested :against the relocation of the bulletin boards when the idea wns affront­.ed them; and publically requests that the governing body of the school investigate the possibilities of having the boards and the Arts and Science mail boxes relocated together at the most convenient and practical location on campus for them-the Annex.

Dear Editor: To the Student Body and Members

of IDEO: We, the officers of IDEO, wish

to extend to you, the spirited stu­dents of Ithaca College, a hearty thank you for your co-operative attitude toward IDEO. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to you stu­dents who so graciously gave your money to become members of our energetic organization. And we sin­cerely wish to thank you for the interest you have shown in tho group since that registration day when you paid a dollar to add another name to your list of ac­tivities.

Th~ turnout for our meetings has amazed us. With your co-op­erative spirit, we have been able to accomplish so much, the Fresh­man Dance in the beginning of the year, planned and organized last year. · We do not begrudge the fact that it looks good to have a list of a~tivities after your name, but we do, so heartily, begrudge the fact that an organization set up to encourage .and bring about friendship, understanding, and in­terest between the specialized de­partments of the college cannot function properly because the stu­dents are too busy to give up a little time two evenings a month. This organization is for your bene- . fit and the benefit of the school. We believe it would be hard for anyone to say that this school is not segregated by departments. It is the ideal of IDEO to put an end to this segregation, but we need your help. We need your help and interest. This is not a staid and stuffy organization. It .. is, rather, an organization to promote good fellowship among all students.

Sandor has never known a free Christmas. He is 12 years old. Christmas joy has been kept from his country for 17 years. First the Nazi and now the Communist has oppressed his countr'y and denied it its God given rights. Holiday cheer is said in whispers. Cribs and Christmas trees are hidden in attics or basem·ents. They know no peace.

Someday Christmas will be a joy­ous occasion. The freedom revolt failed, but the idea will never fail. As long as men will give their lives for freedom; Communism will never succeed. "Joy to the World" will ring out once again Merry Christmas Sandor.

Having stated its concern with the convenience of the board and mail boxes to the students, the administration will naturally and with a spirit of Yuletide ,good ':"ill, allow this sensible change.

Yes, Billy could probably be a famous scientist some day. But right now, his chances are pretty slim.

In Billy's community there is a scarcity of classrooms, of teachers, and of good text­books. Result? Billy is short­changed on his schooling.

RETROSPECT by Rik Herr

'l'h!l )Ian on ('101111 Eight by Rob­ert Dale :'11:utin .ran at the Ithaca C'ollege Little Theater from No­vember 20 through . the 23. The pl'oduction was directed by Eugene R. Wood; scene design was by George R. Hoerner; technical di­rection was by Gerald C. Cowan.

This play_ was a take-off on a Tommy :\lanvillian playboy whose desire to get into the papers is expressed through his having num­erous marriages with all the press invited to the wedding. Basically, this is an excellent idea, but l\lr. :'lfartin did not follow through on it. The play, ultimately, was Jack­ing in wit. \Vith the exception of several spots, the play was over­burdened with weighty, talky dia­logue that failed to prove very interesting to the audience. There should have been fewer scenes like the one where Florida tells of her meeting :Mrs. Regan, and more like the one that opens the· third act, when Gryans trips over the re­porters. A little bit of action helps to make a play interesting.

The production was, in the main, fine. However, it lacked the sharp­ness and crispness to put across the comedy. Too many people seems to be so embarrassed about the production that they kept swal­lowing lines for fear the audience might hear them.

In the lead role of Bryant Dun­away, Ron Aplin turned in a fine job. He was able to cope with this difficult characterization an!l, knew how to take stage with force. More experience in playing comedy will help him to iron out the few rough spots that were there.

Don Kline did a good job in portraying Charles Peyton, the hardboiled press agent. However, his speech was just a little too

• • • !(;40H, ... THE LITERARY SNAIL

by NIAN FUCHS

Excitement is sweeping over the Kingdom of Small Animals liKe a tuft of debris over Eliot's Wasteland. And, indeed, our country was fast becoming a wasteland, devoid of intelligent and animated dis­cussions w.hich were daily events between classes at the Insect Bar. Until Korvess!

Boss, do you think that the satellites are the main topic of con­versation only among humans? We have as much of an interest in space travel as you do, and were able to express our enthusiasm scien­tificially last week· 'when we launched our first rocket with a crew: Korvess. The Guinea Pig scientists of the Scientific Institute for the Study and Development of High Range Missles drew the blueprints and began working on Korvess, with the plan to send it to the roof of the Cornell Public Library. Within a few days the missile was ready. We don't fool around with propaganda pep talks ·the way we used to; they don't seem to be as effective as plain hard work.

The crew for Korvess was carefully selected, and two Earthworms crawled into the missile. They were chosen to take the first inter­spacial trip, with the idea in mind that if they reached the top and were not able to be brought down, they could enter the library and become bookworms. Just in case they couldn't bet' in the library, one of the worms, Caesar, took along his copy of Jane Eyre to read. He plans to read it on five or six different levels. That's being intelligent, so I'm told.

Don't smile, boss, at our plans for the Earthworms in case of an emergency. At least we know that our space-travellers will be safe whether or not we are able to reach them. What do you propose will happen to your experiments in space?

In any case, Korvess was launched last week-an experimental chemically treated, insulated ping-pong ball containing the two worms. It was set off amidst wild babbling of Tasmanian Devils, respectful saluted from an army of Earthworms (which, in their case, was ex­tremely difficult). and quiet looks from the Guinea Pig scientists. Upon landing on the library roof, the missile, Korvess, popped in two, ejacu­lating the worms. They were seen, through our telescopes, floating down to the rige of the roof with tiny parachutes slowing their fall. Caesar, however, seeing his book being blown slightly away from the library, dove after it. Jane Eyre is now all over Seneca Street. So is Caesar. You see what happens, then, when anyone stubbornly tries for the un­attainable.

The Insect Bar is now, again filled with animals between classes, talking about Korvess, Caesar, and the other Earthworm that's still on top of that darn library roof. Out of this scientific achievement has grown numerous novels, a booming sale on telescopes, and a popular tune on the rock 'n roll order with words even more confusing than Jabberwocky. '

Kool Korvess How forelop is the dropsu Gerflunken in the glen, That Korvess and that Caesar Go sloffing out again? The Guinea Pigs and Earthworms Amoofing on the hill Pretend to gulp the samberling Beroofing in the zill. The varveloom is singing Aaway up in a tree, And every time a treelup blies I feel a glip in me. The velferex is snerfing O'er hill and lake and glen Until the noble Earthworm comes A freemlock back again.

Don't ask me what it means, boss. This younger generation is beyond me already. And me only a sophomore.

SEMINAR PROGRAM OPEN TO STUDENTS

Ithaca College students are in­vited to participate in two study projects sponsored by the Ithaca \Vestminster Foundation.

The first of these projects is a six week seminar on Love, Court­ship, and Marriage which will take place on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 P:11 in Room 28 of the An­nex. This seminar began on Wed­neesday, November 13th. Dr. Allen C. Best, well known Chaplain on marriage in the city will conduct the seminar and will discuss such topics as: What marriage requires of you, choosing a mate, how do you know you are in love?, prepar­ation for marriage, sex and dating, courtship and marriage and num­erous other topics. You are invited to bring your questions and your friends.

Also scheduled is a Bible study seminar on the Gospel of Mark on Sunday from 9: 45 to 10 :45 PM in the music building. In as much as many of the students will be teach­ers, the lesson is assigned each week to a student. The Gospel of Mark is the earliest Gospel and this study should be helpful to any who are interested in the early Christian records and in under­standing the Christian faith. Rev­erend Alfred Lee Klaer is the re­search leader.

These groups are open to Ithaca College students willing to pioneer in voluntary education programs. Other seminars dealing with mat­ters of faith, vocations, and philo­sophy are scheduled to follow. Ithaca College Committee members for the Westminster Foundation are Verna Church, Peter Bush, Ann :\Iarshall, Ron Platt and Ed Folts. They hope that you will set aside these two hours a week to work with them in these impor­tant fields.

SPEAKING SPORTS • • •

by Norm Warner

The Soviet Union's tremendous drive to world supremacy in sports is part of a "sports and physical fitness boom with an importance in So\·iet life which is unparalleled anywhere in the world today," ac­cording to the December 2nd issue of Sports Illustrated.

The 24-page article, A New Look At The Soviet Union, includes 16 pages of color pictures and is by well-known photographer Jerry Cooke. It ·c1ocuments a Russia of play and leisure unsuspected by most Ameri-cans.

"They are a different people from the concept them for 40 years," Cooke reports.

Propaganda and Leisure 'l'irne

we have had of

The most important reason for the tremendous sports boom in the Soviet Union, Cooke feels, is the obvious one '\;hat the government sup­ports it, thus· making it possible for the trade unions-the parent bodies of the sports clubs-to lend all-out support, and for the Soviet citizen to indulge in sports freely. Added to this is the fact that the universal eight hour work day in the U.S.S.R. leaves the people with considerable leisure time, that they have a passion for mass activity, and that the excellent facilities are available at no cost. Also important, he says, is "an almost deliberate, certainly conscious withdrawal by the average citizen from the complex problems of politics and economics in the Soviet Union."

"Sports," he writes, "are free, collective and almost obligatory. The average worker is offered facilities for whatever sport he may choose through his union, the parent body of the particular sports club to which, according to his job or his profession, he may belong. Interna­tional competition, recently encouraged, is on the increase and now provides a new and welcome contact with the outside world."

Constant Prnctlce-All Sports Cooke was impressed by the endless amount of practicing he saw

everywhere-in gyms, in pools, in the parks. He met a physical cul­ture superintendent in a Moscow factory whose whole job was the plan­ning and supervising of exercises in this one factory, who explained how factory exercises are planned and set up, and how they are changed every three months to avoid boredom.

In addition to setting-up exercises, which start, punctuate and end the day throughout the country, Cooke found that millions of Russians are participating in every sort of sport, even tennis, steeplechasing, basketball and sailing. "The physical fitness ideal is evident in the huge stadiums and sports field of the big cities, and the numberless more modest but thoroughly efficient installations in smaller towns and even villages," he writes. "And they are not only there-they are used con-stantly." '

Solo Sports Unofflclnl I>opular Such individualistic sports as hunting and fishing are popular

according to the article, but they seem to be practiced somewhat evasively because they are at odds with the collective character of Soviet life. They .are not available through the government sponsored organizations, but guns, amunition and other equipment are not re­stricted, and there are plenty of hunting supply stores in the U.S.S.R.

Russian speaking Cooke visited major cities, towns, villages, and even farm areas on his 5,000 mile tour of-the Soviet Union. He says that the only difficulty he encountered was in persuading citizens to let him photograph or join them at solo sports such as hunting, fishing and billiards.

Seem Grim To American Cooke writes that the Soviet citizen's reaction to all this activity is

not easy to evaluate in American terms. To him they seemed "with­drawn, concentrated, even grim at their games, often as much so as their top athletes in international contests." He felt that nobody was having fun, that everyone works as hard at his sport as at his job, that sport is, in fact, just another job to be done.

But by Russian standards, he feels that there is another anwser: that they glory in the achievement for themselves and for the whole Soviet Union.

All arrangements for these broadcasts were made through Mr. Jansen's office. As early as last September an audition tape was sent to NBC, but due to technical imperfections, a second one was required by the network. This second audition was made in Oc­tober, after the Choir had spent some 15 to 20 hours achieving the desired results. This tape was made in the Methodist Church.

NBC immediately accepted this second tape and evidently thought well enough of the Choir's per­formance to ask them to make tapes for three successive broad­casts. Usually the choral groups are asked to make a tape only for a single broadcast.

The Ithaca College Choir, which will be heard on these broadcasts, is the oldest choral organization on campus. Formed during the late 1920's, it was a contemporary of, and successor to, the Westminster Choir after the latter moved to Princeton.

Now in its 37th year, the Choir has been heard over Mutual CBS, and NBC radio networks, as well as in countless live appearances in towns and cities in upstate New York.

to be an extremely unfair compari­son to be made, considering the basic functional differences be­tween the two types of productions. Theoretically speaking, it is un­fair. However, because the public pays admission to see Scampers, just as it does to see major pro­ductions, it is absolutely ine,·Jtable that just such a comparison will be made in the minds of a certain percentage of the audience. This point cannot be too strongly made, since it means that an ineffective Scampers definitely constitutes bad publicity for the college. No amount of advertising of the fact that Scampers is a 'strictly student' pro, duction will overcome this unfor­tunate circumstance."

Scampers was almost completely dropped from the calendar of events this year. Only strong agi­tation from certain student quar­ters coupled with energetic assist~ ance from faculty and administra­tive personnel who feels that Scam11crs still deserves a place in the sun, have saved it from total extinction. In order to justify the continuance of Scampers as an Ithaca College institution, the ut­most cooperation is needed from every interested student. If Scampers becomes a problem to tho college this year, it will be­come ancient history next year, and nothing more.
