First Performance
Theatre Presents
Tragedy, Medea
A chorus of eerie wailing set the
mood foi the Supper Theatre's
first-night presentation of the
Greek tragedy. "Medea," Thurs-
■luy night and opened the initial
scene ' one of the most dru-
matir and finely performed play*
presented by the group this rea-
son.
Skillful Performance
Carol Lowrance, San Angelo,
cast in the role of the jealous and
vindictive Medea, warmed up af-
ter a slightly wavering start and
delivered one of the most profi-
cient and skillful performances 111
the play. N'edra Wood, Fort Worth,
playing the role of her nurse, was
equally adept.
Kuripides' drama about Jason's
desertion of Medea, his sorceress
wife, and their two children for
the princess of Glaucon sets the
f.tuge for Medea's terrible ven-
geance. Forsaken by Jason and
threatened with expulsion by
Creon, king of Corinth and father
of (ilaucon, the hapless woman la-
ments her grief. Pretending that
she wants peace, she sends gifts
to Jason's new wife, among them
a robe with a golden crown.
Fiery Crown
The death of Glaucon, who is
set afire by flumes shooting out
from the golden metal around her
brow, and of her father, who
tushes to save her, are only the
beginning of Medea's revenge. She
then kills her children and re-
fuses to give up theii bodies to the
now broken and frightened Jason.
The two-act play, directed by
Juck Ellis, Paris, was presented
artistically and with few flaws.
The dancing and speaking 'ho
ruses used in some of the scenes
-tthanced the lorcefuiness of the
play and added a touch of weir<
ne>s to the entire production.
Bob llolmi.n, Klectra, played Ja

Business Survey Reveals Statistics
A recent survey of 15ti seniors

shows that 40.4 per cent have tak-

have taken more than the required
lix hours in science. Dean 0. J.

Clark, Conant Lose
In Debate Tourney
Robert Clark, Denton, and AI
Conant, Waco, who represented
North Texas, were defeated in the
regional West Point elimination
tournament Monday and Tuesday.
As a result of the loss, the pair
will not make a return trip to West
Point, N.Y., to represented district
III.
Clark and Conant drew the af-
firmative side in the elimination
meet. They have drawn the affirm-
ative in almost all of the key de-
bates of the year, according to
Dr. William DeMougeot.
In the round-robin district meet
in Durant, Okla., Clurk and Conant
won four and lost four debates.
Their four losses were to the four
teams that will represent district
III this year: the University of
Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas Christian
university and the University of
Texas. Against three of there
schools, North Texas drew the af-
firmative, while none of the four
teams which survived had more
than two debates against top
teams in which they had the af-
firmative side. Only 11 times in
.'Hi debates did the affirmative side
win in debating "Resolved; That
Congress should be given the pow-
er to reverse decisions of the Su-
preme court."
The key debate for the local
team provided an ironic twist. Last
year, Baylor drew the affirmative
side against North Texas, lost a
2-1 decision, and thus lost a chance
to make the trip to New Vork.
This year, North Texas drew the
affirmative against Baylor, lost a
2-1 decision, and Baylor will go in-
stead of North Texas,
Other school* at the tournament
were Oklahoma State university,
Abilene Christian college. South-
west f-ouisiana institute, and Cen-
tral State College of Oklahoma.
Time Magazine Cites
Lab Band Jazz Talents
North Txas' Lab Band, winner 5
of the national title for big-band \
jazz at the Notre Dame Jazz festi- j
val, has received more acclaim for!
its work. The April 4 issue of Time |
play magazine includes a story about
1 the festival which the North Texas
| group won.
Director Leon Breeden is quoted
in Time as saying, of the band,
"After they graduate, many of
the boys in our band will go 011 to
teach at other schools and will
start jazz bands there. The kids
won't have to learn in smoke-filled
honky-tonks."
school record was available for
these students). This survey shows
that 100 per cent hud muthemu-
tics in high school and 99.3 bad at
least one unit in science.
Other findings in the survey
show that of students choosing
electives in the humanities, ap-
proximately 40 per cent have had
music, usually music appreciation
and perspectives in jazz; 15 per
cent huve bud additional English,
10 per cent have hud foreign lun-
guuge, 1 per cent have had philos-
ophy, and 2 per c- nt have hud art.
In choosing ictives in the soc-
ial sciences, ipproximutely one-
third have had economies and 20
per cent have had one <V-r more
semesters in sociology.
The purpose of the surety, said
Dr. Curry, was to find out what
kind of mathematics and science
the candidates for II.B.A. degrees
have had in high school and col-
lege, and in what broad ureas of
humiin knowledge, which include
mathematics, the Immunities, soc-
iul sciences, the nuturul sciences,
and the behavioral sciences, the
students huve had.
Presently ti hours in the natural
sciences, IK hours in the social
sciences, 15 hours in the humani-
ties, and 1 course in business math
are required for the B.B.A. degree,
said Dr. Curry.
The findings of the survey have
been made available to the faculty.
They will decide whether the col-
lege education for u career in bus-
iness would be better if additional
work was required in one or more
of the basic areas of human un-
derstanding, said Dr. Curry.
"On the basis of the unulysis of
what the graduating class bus had,
it appears that some (10 per cent
of the students have chosen elec-
tive courses quite wisely," he com-
mented.
