Reeve said that proceeds will
go to help defray travel ex-
penses to Montevideo, Uruquay,
where the company will be the
sole representatives of the
United States at the Internation-
al Festival of University theatre.
The invitation to the college's
department of drama and music
to take part in the South Amer-
ica venture came from the Del-
phic Institute in Europe.
"The Delphic Institute is,"
Reeve said, "the most distin-
guished academic theatre insti-
tute in Europe, and it sponsors
the International Festival of
University Theatre held in var-
ious European countries every
two yearn
The Institute, with headquar-
ters in. Mainz, Germany, is one
of the most distinguished insti-
tutes of classical theater in Eu-
rope.
A number of famous univer-
sities of the world will be par-
ticipating including the Sor-
bonne in Paris, the University of
Goteborg in Sweden, the Univer-
sity of Bristol in England and
others.
"For the first time ever," he
said "the Festival will be held
in the Western Hemisphere.
They invited us to present a
production of the all Texas
'A Midsummer Night's Dream,'
which was internationally ac-
claimed for its tour of Britain
and its participation in the In-
ternational Festival in Bristol
University in 1959."
Dates for the South American
performance will be in the first
week of August, and the HPC
Officers Elected
In Pi Chi Club
Officers for the 1968-1969
school year were elected in a
regular meeting of Pi Chi, How-
ard Payne press club, according
to Fred Raybura, newly elected
president of the group.
Rayburn was elected presi-
dent of the club barring any
conditional changes during the
1968 Fall semester, since he will
be completing work for a mas-
ter's degree. Other new officers
are: Johnny Curtis, vice-presi-
dent; Lana Archer, secretary;
Cathy Land, treasurer; and
Carol tRicks, reporter.
In other business, the club de-
cided that the club will sell
clear plastic covers this semes-
ter for the 1967-1968 Lasso. $
group will be the guests of the
city of Montevideo for some
eight to 10 days.
Dr. Guy D. Newman, HPC
president, said, "it is a signal
honor for the College to receive
the invitations to take part in
the HemisFair and also in
Uruquay."
In at recent vote, students of
Howard Payne College were
asked to select an appropriate
amendment to the present con-
stitution concerning grade point
average requirements for all
executive and club officers.
According to Tommy Bastian,
president of the Student Asso-
ciation, the results of the vote
were thrown out as a result of
a mutual agreement between
Bastian and Don Goldhorn, as-
sistant dean of students. Ac-
cording to Bastian, some stu-
dents expressed difficulty in
marking the ballots in selecting
the amendment which they de-
sired. The ballots which were
prepared for the April 5 elec-
tion were without ballot mark-
ing procedures and instructions.
Bastian said that another
election will be held at a later
date with the ballot printed for
voter selection of: 1. Proposi-
tion one; 2. proposition two;>3.
neither. In this way, Bastian
emphasized, the constitution
may be changed or left as it
presently is.

Tommy Bastian, president of the

dum issues concerning general
