GENTLEMEN: Although I have eaten your cooking for three years, I was astounded by the poor quality or the spaghetti-and-cheese concoction served to the male student body last Wednesday noon. .You are to be congratulated on your clever use or grease. Also, since my spoontul of spaghetti (about five inches wide) was burned on one side and tuicooked on the other, I am convinced that you have accomplished a rare teat in the practice of thermodynamics. I know most of you by your first names, but it is possible that there is a leprechaun in your kitchen. Please look into this at your earliest opportunity. :1 Non-Machiavellian “Prince" In Arena A workshop production of An- mine de Saint Exupery’s “The Little Prince" will be presented in Arena Theatre Sunday through Wednesday. Elizabeth Panwitt, ‘69, is di. recting the play from her own original script. Original music lor the play has been composed by Frederick s. Kuethe, ’69, ii music major. No advance tickets are neces- sary for seating. A iacet oi the Theatre De- partment that rarely gets a measure of its deserved alien- tion is the modern dance sec tion. Mrs. Betty Voertmall con- ducts weekly modern dance workshop, which may be used by any student as a part of the physical education requirement, and oi-chcsis, the perlorming dance group which practices twice a week and presents a concert once a year. The workshops are not related to Orchesls. That is, a student taklllg a workshop is not re- quired to pertorin in the con- cert Ior credit. although he or she may be invited to do so. There are two workshops open to all students each semester: one tor beginning dancers, and one ior those who have already had a semester. Orchesis (which comes trom a Greek word meaning, “place tor the chorus ot dancers") Is the traditional college dance group's name. Grinnell’s Orche- sie has 24 members: 16 Women, 8 men. Membership in the group is gained through an audition which includes exercises in tech- nique and In improvisation. The members of Orchesis judge the applicants. Experience in modern dance is not absolutely necessary, Those who have had enough experience in various areas to develop a love tor dance and a tree imagination are looked for. Creativity rather than proliciency in perionn- ance is encouraged. Although students generally come with some kind of ballet or modern dance training, the emphasis is on giving the students a chance to explore movement and their own ideas.
