In choosing the play for
production, the University
Theatre has selected a play
that is both meaningful and
entertaining, but one that is
also controversial
[Jr Delmar Sotem, direc
tor of the play, commented on
the production When first
produced 'Lysistrala' did
not offend Our purpose is to
be true to the intent of the
play if not to the style of pro
duction
"for Uiis is not really a
play about sex — even though
the role of sex is not underes
timated — but rather a play
against an unpopular war "
In recent productions of
this play. "Lysistrala" has
been stucked by some and
found to be rather con trover
sial by others It is a frank
and open discussion of the
importance of sex in society

But as important, even at 67.
this great-grandmother still
has faith in today's youth-as
much perhaps as youth has in
itself In fact, she claims she
feels uncomfortable in the
company of her own genera
tion
Mrs Smith is a white-haired,
bespectacled woman, a staunch
conservative. a fastidious
dresser, and she keeps an
immaculate apartment. But
she is probably best know to
Russell Hall men as the woman
who allows no feet on the furni
ture in the television lounge
Hie housemother's philoso
phy, however, is sometlung few
University students know, and
dial is what makes her die
right person in the right job
UNTOUCHED AREAS
"I believe there are great
untouched areas in the minds
and hearts of our youth today”
says Mrs Smith, sitting in the
quiet order of her Russell Hall
apartment "If I didn't believe
dial. 1 wouldn't be devoting
rtiyself to this kind of work "
She bebeves in youth and has
no quarrels with its long hair,
fast cars and short skirts.
These things, she says, are only
the natural, outward expres
sions of youth as a part of
youth.
‘‘The long hair doesn’t both
er me," Mrs. Smith remarks
“I look the boys straight in the
eye and see them as they really
are."
What's inside a person, Mrs.
Smith feels, is what counts She
savs higher education needs
more people "to reach in and
cultivate the untouched areas"
in students and mere book-
learning does not do this
EXCHANGE OF IDEAS
“An education is an ex
change of ideas and ideals."
Mrs. Smith says with a broad
gesture of the hand; it is more
than getting enough knowledge
to pass courses "Those stu
dents who go home every week
end and miss the dances and
basketball games and parties
are only cheating themselves,"
she says.
The truly educated man. the
housemother feels, has a well-
developed four-fold life: men
tally. physically, socially and
spiritually
“Each one hinges on the oth
er." Mrs Smith says.
Tliese opinions have matured
with almost 23 years in youth
work, including counseling with
the Young Women's Christian
Assn. (YWCA) in Birmingham.

Mrs Smith has seen a lot of
students come and go in 23
years, but she recalls many of
them vivdly She remembers,
for instance, the time one Rus
sell Hall resident had a brother
killed in Vietnam—a crisis of
the spirit.
"When his parents came to
see him. he was fine." Mrs
Smith says. "He was strong
when he had to be." Only after
wards did he show he was hu
man and cry, she reveals.
Uiis is why Mrs Smith likes
men: they can accept truth
more easily than women "I
deal with the straight-from-lhe-
shoulder truth," she says, .
but with girls all you get are
the emotions. "
Mrs Smith thinks the fears
and anxieties of today's stu
dents are like those of their
fathers, but the challenges are
greater, the opportunities more
vast.
"If I could give one gift to
the youth of today," Mrs. Smith
says. "R would be the gift of
curiosity.' Students must real
ize their own potential, "not
settling for what they hear,"
she explains, and today's chal
lenges make involvement a
necessity.
College is an important stim
ulant of participation, and Mrs.
Smith feels this is beneficial
"Most of the major decisions
of a man's life are made during
those four years." she says;
students decide their profes
sions, where they will live and
often whom they will marry
"You only learn to swim
when you get into the stream of
life." Mrs Smith says
