Students Exposed To Culture In Art Series by Chuck Jackson “To open doors for our students; doors that might otherwise n< H be opened’ is the purpose of the Fine Arts Series, accord ing to Dr. Arthur Rich, coordinator. Dr. Rich feels that the Fine Arts Series brings to the students forms of entertainment which many of them have never been exposed to. [t is the in tent of the aeries to try to bring at least one thing from each of the mgjor fields of student interest. Dr. Rich said. The selection of what is ed the number of seals to 150 presented in the aeries is done by Dr. Rich with the aid of a student committee which often does informal canvassing of students to find out about current Interests. Dr. Rich pointed out that in the past questionnaires have been sent out asking students their inter ests but the response has been poor. So far this season the aeries has included an Organ Recital, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band,' Max Morath, The Vienna Choir Boys, King Lear, and La Traviata. Still sche duled are Music of India, March 31; and Jerome Hines. Basso, April 16. One gripe of students who attend The Fine Arts Series performances has been that a large number of seats have been reserved for season ticket holders. The students feel this is out of line since the chapel only seats 1200 out of a stu dent body of over 1300 which has already paid for the per formance. Dr. Rich explained that by selling the reserved seats as a season tickets he is able to raise enough funds to bring in one or two more concerts a year. Last year the Student Activities Board appropriated 12,188 dollars for the Fine Arts Series and an additional 6,375 dollars was raised from gate receipts. The gale receipts were roughly a third of the operating budget and allowed for two extra performances Dr. Rich also said that the Student Committee has limit- OUR ADVERTISERS SUPPORT US- LET S SUPPORT THEM! Graduates Successful Judge Harold G. Carswell probably will be recorded as one of the most famous gra duates of Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of Law. But he Is not the first to make a name for himself Graduates of the law school have achieved success, not only in legal circles, but also as authors, statesmen, ministers, legislators, governors and public servants. Next to Carswell the ones to have achieved, the most na tional fame are former Con gressman Carl Vinton and the late Senator Walter F. George A total of 13 Superior Court judges in Georgia at tended the law school. Three judges of the Georgia Supreme Court received their training in law at Mercer. They are Jule W. Felton, Carlton Mob ley, and Banning M. Grice. At one period, the number of college presidents who had graduated from Mercer was equalled only by Yale and sur- passed only by Harvard. and that they are all (except for 6 press seats) paid seats, even the ten Dr. Harris uses. Since student attendance at the concerts is generally not extremely large the danger of any student not having a seat is very small Dr Rich wa emphatic in maintaining that the best seats are available to the students. He said that the student re sponse to performances varies and that a name attraction will draw a larger audience over an attraction with a less er name but perhaps a better quality act. In discussing next year Dr, Rich announced that although plans have not yet been finali zed, attractions that he hopes are coming include Carlos Montoya, guitarist; Dame Judith Anderson in Hamlet; The Norman Luboff Choir; Shirley Verrett; and The Za greb Philharmonic Orchestra, Yugoslavia. Increased interest in the Fine Arts Series promises to make next year a grand suc cess. MILITARY BALL Co-Op (con't from page 1) welcome impending change with interest and supjjort.

(continued on P. 5) they believe is necessary for a healthy university atmosphere Participation was sparked, in part, by faculty-student dis cussion held during the past weeks all over campus. Such interested faculty members as David Lindsey (modem langu ages), John and Diana Stege and Mary Wilder (English dept.) and Dr. Jean Hendricks initiated the discussions which led to the group gathering in the co-op. The meeting itself, however, was organized and participated in entirely by concerned students. As part of the rally the stu dents picked up the trash in the co-op to demonstrate co operation in the clean-up cam paign. Henceforth disposal of trash is the user’s responsibi lity. Though the turn out was smaller than might have been expected on a campus of Nler cer’s size, the sit-in is consid ered a success by its partici pants and supporters. The longer range implications arc now being looked into. This is considered to be only an ini tial action by those who are interested in doing something. As the organizers said. “We are most interested in creating an atmosphere of interest in Mercer, by Mercer itself, we need an atmosphere in the co-op which is condusive to relaxation, not hog-wallowing, as well as a game den. We hope these result from our proposals and pressure on the S.G.A. The most important thing is that people ARE in terested in what goes on here and are beginning to speak up. I’d like to see this happen until action comes easily... .But changes will not continue without continued verbable protest and pressure, parti cularly on the S.G.A The in fluential people are awake to us now. and perhaps — aware."
