Academy Theatre On Peachtree For its pre-holiday production, the Academy Theatre will present Clifford Odets’ “The Flowering Peach” on December 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, and 18. Featured in the cast are Frank Wittow, Anne Lewis, Bob Gerson, Sid Davis, Martha Tanner, Gloria Idrau-Maloof, Priscilla Har ris, and Norm Andrews; The pro duction is under the direction of Sydney Walter. Reservations may be made by calling TR. 4-6682. Clifford Odets is a familiar name of the theatre for such plays as “Country Girl”—“Golden Boy”— “Clash by Night” and many others. He is a born folk dramatist, ca pable of drawing vivid characters and writing richly flavored col loquial speech. Nowhere is this bet ter illustrated than in “The Flow ering Peach,” considered by many to be his most attractive and ma ture work. Using the story of Noah and the Ark as a framework, the ways of God and man are examined without much hope and without much protest and with no attempt to justify either God’s ways to man or man’s ways to God. By means of a subplot involving Noah’s sons and their wives, Odets romantically asserts the rights of the individual against convention and, puritan morality. He creates a Noah who embodies much of humanity— world-weary but trusting, vacil lating but stubborn, angry but lov ing, and above all, learning—a man who discovers that his most painful wounds are suffered in private reality where his love of wife and family lie. By the skillful balance of comedy growing, out of human weaknesses and the pathos of hu man destiny, Odets has contributed a work of rare beauty to the American theatre. The Coronation Beauties To this writer it seems that the coronation becomes more beautiful as the years go by. The corona tion ceremonies for the 1960-61 Miss Morris Brown, Marynette Reid, certainly was beautiful toi the eye. The first of the Royal Court to appear was the lovely Miss Wol verine Observer, Betty Byron. Following in succession were Miss Lampodos, Daisy Woodson; Miss Spinx, Sandra Roberts; Miss Omega, Ruth Barrett, and Miss Alpha, Barbara J. Willingham. Then came the Royal Crowns; Bearer, Miss Morris Brown of 1959-60, Veleta Sims, who at that momeilt, seemed to be more stun ningly lovely than ever. Following the retiring queen was the incoming queen’s attendants—' Miss Freshman, Elaine Saulsbury, and Miss Sophomore, Florence Willingham. The new Miss Morris Brown was crown by Dr. Frank Cunningham, our college president. The Pages were Doris Grant and Pauline Zeigler. The Royal Escorts were Benny Cliett, Jerome Bul lard, George Adams, William Hixon, Julius Perry, and Winston Waymer. Mrs. Lois B.

Street Scene; Negro-White Incident An observer witnessed a tragic scene at the intersection of Broad and Walton Streets in down-town Atlanta that may serve to gauge the state of the regard of some white persons for the dignity and worth of Negroes. A Negro woman, who was either trying to return home from a day of hard work or make use of her meager salary by making a few purchases, unknowingly dropped some keys as she crossed the busy intersection. A “flower of southern white womanhood” was crossing the intersection behind her and picked the keys up—intending to return them to the their owner. But, when she became aware of the color of the skin of the owner of the keys she promptly pitched them back into the busy intersection in the path of the then on-rushing traffic. The Negro woman quietly defied the traffic to retrieve her keys. The drivers were kind enough to stop and allow her to get them. Wouldn’t it have been simple and painless for the white woman to hand the keys to the Negro woman since she had already turned around and acknowledged that she was the owner of the keys. Or, it would have been at least kinder to drop them where she stood rather than pitch them into the heavy traffic. One wonders how long such tragedy will endure. versities in the U.S. have been designated to receive funds for “critical” language centers in Chi nese, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, or Hinhustani. These “critical” languages are spo ken by three-quarters of the earth’s population. Although Chi nese is the native tongue of 650 million people, only a handful of schools in the U.S. offer courses in the language. U.S. universities which now have Chinese centers supported by the Act are the Universities of Chicago, Kansas, Southern Cali fornia and Washington, and Stan ford and Harvard universities. New Chinese centers will be estab lished during the 1960-61 academic year at SUl, and the Universities of Arizona and Pittsburgh. Although the center at SUI will be primarily for Chinese language instruction, the study will also cover Chinese literature, philos ophy, religion, history, geography, socioogy, economics and anthro pology. Besides a Chinese lan guage course, SUI now offers nine other courses in its Oriental studies program as well as re lated courses in the departments of art, geography and political science.
