DRAMA STAFF HAS NEW INSTRUCTORS There is a much larger enroll ment in the drama department this year than heretofore, accord ing to Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, head of dramatics here. Two new members have been added to the staff, Cecil Matson as assistant and Fred Harris as art director. This makes possible the addition of two new courses in the drama division, stage design and theatre workshop. A large number of students have enrolled in both these classes. There has also been an increase in the enrollment in all of the more advanced drama courses. “I am planning several changes in the general procedure of the department this year,” Mrs. Sey bolt said. "I hope later in the year to institute a series of stu dio performances. Tryouts for these will be open to students out side the department who would like to participate occasionally in college dramatics but for various reasons are unable to give time to the field as a regular study. ‘Gods of the Mountain’ was a produc tion of this kind last year.” The plans for the first quarter are very nearly completed and will bo announced soon, according to Mrs. Seybolt. She also said that the department would be glad to hear at any time from students, faculty or townspeople who have in mind any particular play which they would like to see produced in the university program.
