moment, but we expect to

Forty-two students from the
Ciprian Porumbesco Con
servatory of Music from
Bucharest, Romania who
recently visited West Georgia
College, probably returned to
their native land to tell stories
some of their kinfolk may not
believe.
The college-age students of
the Gaudemus Choir will talk
about riding a contraption in
Atlanta that took them up above
the skyscrapers of the city and
then plunged them earthward
taster than they could bat their
eyes. What was this thing
called? their relatives will
probably ask. their eyes as big
as saucers.
“Great American Scream
Machine!” will be the reply.
The students will speak of a
sandwich they ate for break
fast. an English muffin with
Canadian bacon and an egg
placed between it, known to
most Americans as an Egg
soon as it stops raining so the
cement can dry. We do have a
concert scheduled for April 21,”
said Knotts.
“The new stage will be 12 feet
wide and 24 feet long. The cost is
approximated at between S2OO
and S3OO, said Knotts. Providing
some additional specifications,
Knotts said, “The stage will
contain permanent wiring and
will include a sound shell back-
manuscripts. Photographs
should be in black and white,
and drawings should be in pen
and ink or charcoal. Con
tributions will be judged by the
“Eclectic” staff
The “Eclectic,” is given
SI,OOO annually by the Student
Government Association, ac
cording to Boyle, who added
that the magazine used to
receive $2,700. He said that the
“Eclectic” staff plans to ex
pand next year with anew
course called “Eclectic prac
ticum,” taught by Jones.
Boyle, as new editor, said his
main objective is to make a
“superb, artistic magazine”
and that he wants to “renew
interest” in the “Eclectic.”
McMuffin.
Where did you eat such a
meal as that? the elders may
ask. The reply, known to all
American youngsters, will be,
“McDonald's!”
Such were two of the
highlights of the trip to the
United States by the group,
which appeared at Carrollton’s
First Methodist Church
recently. The singers received
two standing ovations during
their performance.
“Fantastic!” was the way
more than one member of the
audience described the per
formance.
Visiting Six Flags. Lenox
Square. Underground Atlanta,
the Regency Hyatt House, and
the Merchandise Mart in
Georgia’s capital city were a
few other treats available to the
singers.
They later performed at
Glenn Memorial auditorium at
Emory, ypjyersiiy
drop Lights will be mounted on
the back of the stage to ac
company nighttime per
formances.”
Supplying an explanation for
the disappearance of the old
stage, Knotts said. “A storm
had already torn the back off
the old stage before outdoor
concerts were banned last year.
After the concert ban, we
decided to remove the stage
because the floor condition was
so poor. It (the stage) had
already been double-floored.
Now that outdoor concerts have
been reinstated, it has become
possible for us to construct a
permanent outdoor concert
stage.”
“Last year we received a
number of complaints about the
noise level from night students
and those working in the library
at late hours," said Knotts,
“For this reason, we have
angled the stage in an opposite
direction from the academic
areas By doing so, we hope to
eliminate the noise problem.”
Bill Kraus, the chairman of
the College Programming
Board, is displeased with the
size and the location of the new
stage. Kraus, who is responsible
for signing the concert bands,
said, “We had no input into
making any decisions about the
size, location or quality of the
stage,” said Kraus.
