KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
Newsweek
columnist
to speak
By KATHY THOMAS
Kenneth G. Crawford, News
week’s Washington columnist and
former United Press foreign cor
respondent, will speak Nov. 23
at 8:00 p.m. in West Georgia’s
old gymnasium.
Brought to the campus as apart
of the mutual concert and lec
ture series, Mr. Crawford has
known personally every United
Stales President from Coolidge
to Johnson.
His first job was as a roving
reporter and bureau manager for
United Press in the Chicago area.
In this capacity, he covered such
events of the roaring ’2o*s as
the prohibition enforcement bat
tles, the Illinois gang wars, and
the great Mississippi flood.
After running United Press bu
reaus in several other areas,
Crawford was transferred to
Washington toward the end of
the Coolidge era. He served there
as correspondent for the New
York Post, the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
Crawford joined Newsweek in
1943.
Landing on D-Day with the first
assault wave of the Fourth In
fantry, Crawford was the first
U. S. correspondent ashore. He
covered the V-l and V-2 attacks
on England, the breakout from
Normandy at St. Lo, and Gen.
George Patton’s sweep to Paris.
His work as a front-line cor
respondent was formally com
mended by the Army and Navy.
Following the war, Crawford
stayed on the Newsweek staff un
til he was made manager of the
Washington bureau in 1954. In
1961 he was named author of the
weekly column, “Washington.”
Crawford is the author of two
books, “Report on North Africa”
and “The Pressure Boys.” He
has been a prolific contributor to
such magazines as the Saturday
Evening Post and a frequent par
ticipant in such radio and tele
vision programs as “Meet the
Press.”
The public is invited to hear
Crawford’s Tuesday night lec
ture.

Campus chooses more leaders
T he Deputy 9
expressive
and eerie
By SARAH LEE
“The Deputy,” a controversial
play with enough strength in its
own lines to stand by itself, is
being admirably supported by the
lead actors of its West Georgia
cast.
Gordon Flippo cast as Father
Ricardo Fontana turns in a vivid,
realistic, and poignant portrayal
after a slow start. As the plot
becomes more involved, it be
comes clear that Flippo is the
nearest thing to Richard Burton
this campus has ever seen.
As the “Black Angel,” Larry
Bowie is as villainous as Snidely
Whiplash and not half as lov
able. Continuing to amaze West
Georgia audiences with his ver
satility, he hands in a stirring
dramatic performance.
Martin Burke’s performance as
Captain Salzer is convincing and
dramatically perfect at least.
The indecisive pope is expertly
portrayed by Chris Harris whose
soft-spoken voice well benefits a
churchman.
The words vibrant, expressive,
and dynamic aptly describe Gary
Watts in the part of the idealistic
German lieutenant.
Edward Cleary brings his voice
to the part of the father general,
Open house for homecoming;
eight in court vie for queen
Plans are complete for Saturday’s homecoming according to
David Parkman, director of alumni affairs, and Howard Cleveland,
