New Link Production
Due For Fall Quarter
There will be a fall quarter
drama production, afterall, and
although the originally planned
“Macbeth” performance will
not be done, the cast members
are apparently happy about a
new idea •
“What we are planning to do
is a dramatic recital, using
certain aspects of
Shakespeare which have not
been decided yet,” said Dr. J.
Oliver Link, director.
The recital has not been
scheduled, but according to Dr.
Link it will be sometime in the
first week of December.
The cast was four and a half
week?. T.to rehearsal when Dr.
Link cited reasons of
“fatigue; mentally, physically,
and emotionally,” which he
said “left me nothing to do
but cancel.”
Dr. Link had made the
decision to take the part of
Macbeth himself when Bill
Lundeen, who was originally
chosen for the part quit.
Steve Cignarella, who was
Lundeen’s understudy for the
part of Macbeth, said “The cast
members were happy about the
decision to perform, in spite of
the desision to cancel Mac
beth.”
Dr. Richard Dangle, dean of
the school of arts and sciences
said, “I don’t think it was fair of
him (Dr. Link ) to call the
performance off. Dr. Link made
a mistake. He shouldn’t have
taken the action to cancel on his
own to begin with. I don’t
think he’ll do it again.”

According to Dean Dangle,
Dr. Link told him “That as far
as he could tell the students
were satisfied with the decision
to have a recital.”
Dr. Bob Coe, head of the fine
arts department, said that his

Nov. Date Possible
First ‘Trial’ Successful;
More Concerts Are Likely
BY CAREY SMITH
Vibrations of rock music shook the bleachers
in the HPE building Tuesday night when ap
proximately 900 students heard the first live rock
music on campus since last spring.
In addition to the usual introductions of the two
Atlanta based bands, Road Apple and Choice,
there was a speech from Lamar Chambers,
president of the student government association.
In his remarks to the concert goers, Chambers
repeated pleas expressed by the SGA and ad
ministration during the last year and a half.
The crowd, seated on the gym floor, hanging
from the rails, and sitting cross-legged in the
bleachers stopped the drone of crowd talk while
Chambers urged them to “keep cool.”
And they did, according to Mike Morrow,
president of Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity,
the organization which sponsored the SISOO plus
four hour show.
“This was the cleanest concert we have ever
had,” said Morrow.
Concerts were banned last spring when drug
usage was “rampant,” and according to Charles
Smith, assistant dean of student services,
“Students made no effort to hide the alcohol and
No Classes Tuesday
The Board of Regents has authorized the
suspension of classes on Tuesday, so that
students who must miss classes in order to
vote will not be penalized. In fairness to
the students who will remain on the
campus, all other activities of the college
will be continued. Faculty and staff
members, except for the time given them
to vote, will carry on their normal func
tions other than the meeting of classes.

Delays
P.O. Can’t Be Blamed’
BYJEFF WILBURN
Mrs. Margaret Herndon,
campus post office official, said
that criticism of the post office
by students is “unjust”. She
maintains that the post office
cannot be blamed for many of
the delays being experienced by
students this quarter.
Mrs. Herndon said that early
in the quarter there was a
problem in the listing of student
names. Some students who
attended college here in the
past, but had not enrolled this
quarter, still had an assigned
post office box. Others who
started this quarter were never
assigned post office boxes.
“This added to confusion until
the final roster was
straightened out,” she said.
Other problems that delay
mail according to the official
drugs they were consuming at the concerts.”
But this Tuesday night was a different story.
Administrators present, Dean Smith, Dean of
Student Services, Don Adams, Tracy Stallings,
director of continuing education and Cecil
Knotts, director of student activities, each ex

“By working together,” said Smith, “we can
get things done.”

“The jointly sponsored ATO-SGA concert set a
good standard for organizations to follow in the
future. The ATO fraternity deserves a great deal
of credit for doing the work, planning and
carrying out an excellent concert,” he said.
Dean Smith also said by the SGA’s willingness
to promote a concert, the leaders in SGA
“proved their ability and responsibility.”
According to Morrow and Chambers, there
was virtually no violation of the rules set up by
students and administrators at a meeting held on
Sept. 25 concerning concerts.
At that meeting, rules regarding the use of
alcoholic beverages and drugs were repeated.
The rules, and the student’s adherence to them
was, according to Dean Smith, the main factor in
the reinstatement of concerts.
“A great deal of credit is due to those students
attending the concert, for cooperating, and
recognizing the problems that we have had in the
past, and cooperating fully in seeing that these
problems didn’t rise again,” said Dean Smith
Chambers attributed the cooperation by
students present to the efforts by the ATO
brothers to keep the banned beer and drugs out
of the gym, and also to the two policement hired
by the ATOs to make certain no illegal activity
occurred.
“Each concert will be a trial concert. This
concert was, and the next one will be a trial for
(he one after that. I hope the students will retain
the realization they have now regarding the need
to abide by the rules for the continuation of
concerts at West Georgia,” said Chambers.
The College Programing Board is planning to
sponsor a concert in November.
Although the concert was sponsored by ATO in
hopes that they could make a profit off the $2
admission charge, the profit has been speculated
by Morrow as slight.

are caused by improper iden
tification. Envelopes with
nicknames, wrong P.O. Box
numbers, or no box numbers
have little hope of reaching
their destination. Also, the
campus post office receives a
lot of mail that belongs
elsewhere.
If a letter has Jackson Courts
and West Georgia College
written on it, chances are we’ll
get it,” said Mrs. Herndon.
“When the people downtown see
WGC on mail, they look no
further and send it to us.
A different situation arises
with packages. Some students
complain because a package is
expected to arrive on a certain
day and doesn’t. “You can’t
predict what day a package
might arrive through the mail.
It’s not our fault if it doesn’t
arrive on time,” Mrs. Herndon
said.
