Thoreau In Jail Coming Next Week
The Night Thoreau Spent in
Jail, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee's drama based on
the life and writings of Henry
David Thoreau, will be presented next Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday nights, December 14,
15, and 16 at 8 p.m. in the college auditorium. Cost of admission is $1 for students and
$2 for all others unless in a
group of ten or more. Tickets
are on sale in the drama department office.
Irving Shaw, drama department
chairman, is directing the production. Lynda-Lea Meyer is acting as student-assistant director.
Frank Smith is guest technical
director and Carol Blackwell is in
charge of props.  Costuming is
being   handled   by  Ann  Wilson.
Musical backgrounds are being
produced by Richard Hawkins.
The set is under construction by
the drama workshop classes.
The cast consists of many
types. Second in importance to
Henry is Waldo Emerson. Waldo
is Henry's main foil throughout the play. It is Waldo that
causes the largest change in
Henry. Waldo is being played by
Wayne Tilden.
Waldon's wife, Lydian, is played by Denise Watkins. Lydian
provides a minor romantic interest for Henry.
Mother Thoreau, played by
Carmen Sandoval, doesn't understand her son. It is through her
and Henry's brother John; Marty
Best, that the audience sees much
of the transformation, and love,
and concern that Henry has for
all mankind.
Henry's cell - mate, Bailey;
Rick Dodd; brings out still another side of Henry's personality. It is Bailey that brings to
fever Henry's attitudes as he
expressed them in Civil Dis-
obediance — Thoreau's major
work on passive resistance.
Ellen Sewell, Carol Hurley, is
the major romantic interest in
the play. Both Henry and John
fall deeply in love with her, but
she  won't  have either of them.
Henry Thoreau, the title character of the play, is played with
insight by former CBC student
John   Cooper.  Henry  is  out to

New Student Center Opens
Students, faculty and administration members are rejoicing
in the opening ofthe new student
center. Located in the basement
next to the bookstore and across
from the original student center,
the newly-decorated room contains two pool tables and table
tennis equipment.
A great deal of work went into
the new center. Books had to be
cleared from the room as it was
formerly a book store storage
room. Cleaning had to be done;
carpet, lights, panelling, and
equipment  had  to  be   installed.
Dean Jerry Hendriksen, coordinator for the center, wishes
to express his appreciation to the
many people who made the project possible. Those who volunteered their time to help with the
center include: Charlie Leffingwell, Free Tanzer, alumnus Dave-
Beard, Candy Cathcart, Cesar
Olmos, Joe Daniels, Kirk Hinton,
Berry Cambell, Ron Martinez,
Enrico Giorgio, Renee Tillery,
Bruce Wade, Ricardo Lobato,
Greg Williams, Mike Orta, Mike
McGuffee, Dean Linnes, Mike
Hart, Wally Grubb, Rhys Os-
mer, Ruby Hansen, Terry Cara,
Steve Flynn, Mike Janz, Rick
Dodd, Owen Sanders and Marty
Best.
Doing special jobs were: Jon
Rainbow and Rosie Linholm, student recruiters; Mrs. Chris
Brewer, who made the curtains;
the maintenance crew who installed lights; and Dean Gary
Collins. Dean Hendriksen said,
"All others that I didn't mention that worked for any length
of time, I really appreciate your
help."
The student center will be open
on a trial basis Monday through
Friday, 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. The
Saturday hours are 10 a.m. - 11
p.m., and the center will be closed Sunday. Equipment will be
disdsed out through the book
store until the stores closing
time, then it may be obtained
through the snack bar. The snack
bar will be open during the student center hours. Students will
be  asked to pay 15 cents for a
ping pong ball.
No definite rules have been set
in regard to the center. Dean Hendriksen encourages students not
to set food or drinks on the game
tables and to do their best to keep
change the world, the laws, and
the general order of anything he
doesn't agree with.
Some ofthe more minor characters in the play are Deacon
Ball, played by Steve Flynn, the
incorrigible establishment character who tries to change Henry,
but is changed in turn, himself.
Sam Staples, Sharon Azurdia, is
the hesitant public servant who is
forced to arrest Henry for not
paying his poll tax.
Thoreau is the story of a time
of much civil strife and a man
who is out to change the way
of things singlehandedly. It is
the kind of story that is apropos
to the historical period about
which it was written as well as
to the present period.

For Spring-Summer
The Board of Christian Higher
Education has granted Dean Stephen Carleton a sabbatical leave
for the SpringSemesterandSummer of 1973. The purpose ofthe

basic cities, Nashville, Tennessee and Richmond, Virginia. The
subject of his study is The Impact of Social Change on the
Various Church Groups in the
South in the Early 1830's. Its

over that subject intensified in
1830-1831.

as acting dean, having been elected to this position at the recent
