A Review-Taboo!
Few people realize the tremendous effort which goes into
putting on a play production like "The Inspector General."
Those people involved in the production will never receive
the credit due them. The director, cast and crews are to be
commended on their job, well done.
There was some disturbance among the members of the
production staff concerning the lack of a review in the college
newspaper. To give a fair review of a play the writer would
have to be well versed on the subject of drama and play
productions. We do not'have such a person on our staff. It
is hoped that in the future a critic from an outside source
can be borrowed to do a fair critique on plays.
Campus Editor Cathy Stocks was in the director's office
the other day when she was cynically accused of having come
over to make "a review of the play without having seen it"
Miss Stocks is not a member of the Collegian staff, nor
would any writer on this staff write any review without see¬
ing the production. If the play staff wants a review so badly,
then we relay to them these thoughts HEARD on the subject
"1. The Fresno Bee criticisms were considered (quite ac¬
curate.) 2. The players were cast perfectly for their indi¬
vidual parts with the characterizations getting much ap¬
plause. 3. However the plot of the play was so blah, that
it sent people home feeling they could have stayed home and
would have been none the worse."
Release Us From Chains
Monday we talked about culture as a part of a well rounded
education. Why is culture so important to a college educa¬
tion? It is simply a matter of fact, you can't learn every¬
thing in the classroom.
There are many classes which tend to teach the student
nothing. Many students would team a hell of a lot more if
they could take that chain from around their necks and be
turned loose in the library.   Others have to be disciplined.
The college grade has become so over-emphasized that few
care whether or not they learn anything. Copying, cheating
and the use of old tests for study devices are not considered
by most educators as good learning programs.
Administrati6ns have tried to take the elite from the top
students by use of the honor roll, "This, In effect, possibly
takes the real learner from the "masked bandits" on campus.
But all we end up with is a greater emphasis on grades.
The day will come when students either pass or flunk. They
probably won't be given the general education of today, but
will instead be drawn into subjects which interest and influ¬
ence them. Students will be able to excell in their particular
interests.   The nation will excell in education.

Raise The Roof, But Smile
The cafeteria staff wants a raise The student council
approved the idea. Now it's up to the Board of Directors.
One of tbe "ladies in green" even offered a bribe the other
day. She said she would give us better service and better
food —: she laughed.
But this is no laughing matter. Those "ladies in green"
in the cafeteria are getting paid a whopping $1.10 an hour.
That isn't funny in this day and age with prices what they
are.
Some of the staff consists of foreign students who are
trying to work their way through college. The money they
are making in the cafeteria couldn't send them through
junior college. \j
Others on the staff .are moms who need the money to use
for buying decent food for their kids. Those kids may as
well have something decent before reaching college age.
Still others on the cafeteria payroll are those who don't
care about the financial end of the job but want to be close
to college life. You know them when you see them. They
■ smile and make you feel welcome. And we think this is the
rule in the cafeteria rather than the exception.
Why shouldn't the cafeteria staff receive a raise? Their
victory on this issue would be a victory too for the students
who are served each day. —T. D. c

that is perpetually or prematurely
closed.    not    the    mind    that    ls
closed from fear of the truth, but
the mind that knows how to close
precisely   because   lt   loves   the
truth. Maybe the mind ls like the

that,   eventually,   it   may   close
