lEHIGH COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE LIBRARY CLARION Volume II LEHIGH COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE, OCTOBER 8, 1968 No.2 Faculty And Students Comment On First Few Weeks At LCCC The photographer caught the president and deans in a rare moment when the four were together on campus. From left to right are President John Berrier, Dean of Technologies George Elison, Dean of Instruction Warren Land, and Dean of Student Affairs Robert Gebhardtsbauer. "A Thurber Carnival" Selected For Drama Club December Show "A Thurber Carnival", a dramatic adap· tation of James Thurber's class~ collection, has been selected by the LCCC Drama Club as its first major production this year. The production will be staged Decembe~ 13 and 14 in the Cedar Crest Auditorium. Try·outs were held Monday for the characters in the play. As the play is a collection of skits and dramatizations of many of the old favorite Thurber creations, characters are not named, but instead are refe rred to by number. For instance, in the original Broadway show of "Thurber Carnival", Tom Bosley and Ed Begley were first man and second man, and Peggy Cass was the first woman. These characters plus six--others play various roles in the staging of such Thurber favorites as "If Grant Had Been Drunk At Appomattox", "The Night The Bed Fell", ''The Unicorn In The Garden", and others, within a framework of Thurber quips, cartoons and sight jokes. James Thurber, noted most as a feature writer on The New Yorker during the twenties and thirties, introduced the book in 1944 as "a selection of the stories and drawings the old boy did in his prime, a period which extended roughly from the year Lindbergh flew the Atlantic to the day coffee was rationed." I n spite of the fact that this statement tends to "date" Thurber's work, the play version of "A Thurber Carnival" was first produced to rave reviews and instant popularity in 1960. In fact the Drama Club freely udmits that the biggest problem of the production at this point appears to be trying to "innovate" around such relatively new theatrical as an on-stage treadmill and a revolving stage.' Mrs. Teresa Ammirati is the advisor for the group. New library Hours Library Director F~ederick von Lang has announced that the library hours have been changed to the following: Monday-7:50 - 5:00 Tuesday-7:50 - 9:00 Wednesday-7:50 - 9:00 Thursday-7:50 - 9:00 Friday-7:50 - 4:30 Library holdings have now reached 9,750 books. Are ideas, facts, definitions and principles piling up in your notebook so fast that you wonder where they can all lead? Are the hours of eight a.m. or p.m. making Prof. Morpheus and his course on sleep hard to avoid? Is that social miracle, the mini-skirt, prooving a drag or a boone to your education and, fung us is big sister far worse than "Big Brother" could ever be? After three weeks of carnival atmosphere, THE CLARION presents itself as a detailed and highly opinionated summary of the past weeks that were. "There are problems," said Dr. Warren Land, Dean of Instruction, "but when you view them in light of what is being accomplished, they are small and very solvable." The sophomores, with a year of running into the problems head-on, a re leading the crowd of those asking how L tri C can be bettered. In many cases their judgements and criticisms are sterner than the administration's. Everyone shares the crowding problem equally. The enrollment schedule was arranged so that those with the greatest distance to come had first chance to arrange their schedlJle to suit their needs. It is the faculty that faces the load of 951 students and the problem of giving each his share of attention. The Middle States Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges evaluation committee has already paid the first of many visits to give its experienced advise on easing the load. Until the space and convenience of the new Schnecksville campus are available, there are always available the library and student lounge for hiding from it all. And what about the student lounge? After neatly side-stepping a partially removad hand rail, Joe and Jane College are faced with bull-dozing aside a moun-tain of paper cups, if they can make it past clever concentrations of cigarette butts on the floor. Why just bull-doze the rubble? Those cigar-shaped things are hollow and are meant to hold the trash. The lady who makes sure the goodies come out when the coins are inserted does not have to clean off tables. She is employed by the concessioner and is to be saluted for her cleaning above and beyond the call of duty. However, the lounge furniture is college property. To replace it, there is a budget to fight. At this point, the reader is invited to the Editorial on page two about Student Government work on the dress code. Our columns are open to your views also, Pres. Yashke. The dress code was written by the SGA with the advice of a few faculty members. Its enforcement provisions are outlined in the student handbook, which also makes it clear that the restrictions are selfimposed. "My feeling is that any dress code in force should be enforced," said Dean G., "and I think the present code is much to stringent." Indeed, and is there any other reason for having them unless they are playthings put forth by a plaything government? A note of caution: As was pointed out by Dr. Land more good than harm has been during the last three weeks. The solution of these problems will put a lot of frosting on the cake. The establishment is not stepping on anyone or trying to step on anyone, so put away the placards. Those"concerned about their school and pride wil l consider what has been said here and those who are not are expected to ignore this article. Capitol Campus Dean Here For Recruiting Thirty-four Students Give Blood For Vietnam Walter Slygh, Director of Admissions at the Capitol Campus of the Pennsylvania State University, was on campus at Lehigh County Community College, October 7. He met with various students interested in transferring to Capitol Campus following graduation. Capitol Campus offers the last two undergraduate years at the former O lmsted Air Force Base in Middletown, Pa. Most of the general programs of Penn State that are offered at the University Park campus are also available at Capitol Campus. One of last year's two graduates in liberal arts, Gail Fiske, is studying there at the present. "It's all right; you'll be fine in a few weeks." Janet Trinkle, Jean Melley and Kathy Rogers are lined up for temperatures before giving blood last week. Linda Boykas is looking on. Thirty-four Lehigh County Community College Students gave blood at the Red Cross Blood Day sponsored by the Government Association, September 30. A spokesman for the association termed the turnout for the project "very disappointing" as sixty students had pledged blood for the occasion. LCCC Blood Day, which received community recognition for the college, was conceived last month as a means for students to help the members of the U. S. Army in Vietnam. "People our age are giVing their lives in Vietnam," SGA President Ray Kelly remarked; "giving our blood is the least we can do."
