College sponsors ‘Awareness week’ By Kristi Blackman Of the Print THE ASHLAND FESTIVAL is famous nation-wide for its professionalism and enter tainment. Actors lecture, perform The job of a sociologist is to categorize human beings in- to various sects. This same norm of categorization happens to those who wish to partake in theatrical activities-most pro- iminently, acting. Various terms such as [‘character . actors” ¡“Shakespearean actors” and ¡“bad actors” are slapped on itheatriç players, sometimes ¡crippling them for the life of their * artistic work. Two Ishakespearean actors found [their way to the college last [Monday to perform for the [writing, drama, and literature ¡classes. Joan Stuart-Morris and Stuart Duckworth, one of nine teams touring schools throughout the Pacific Nor thwest, presented dramatic programs concerning the life of professional Shakespearean actors. “I thought they were ex emplary of the modern profes sional actors,” that Joey Rose, theatre arts secretary. Annette Unwin, who teaches the Shakespeare class on campus, was the catalyst for this year’s.visit. “They have a different idea of Shakespeare as a dramatic production, as opposed to literature, ”■’* 'she noted. The visit is one of the Shakespearean Oregon Festival’s audience develop ment projects, and part of its educational program. The tours are performed once a year, prior to the start of the season. The Shakespearean actors performed throughout the day, giving four performances; at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., noon, and at 2 p.m. Readings included a monologue from “The . Glass Menagerie,”; “Twelfth Night,” “The Tempest,” and “Richard the III ” The two performers also held a discussion session with the college acting classes on the subject of theatre as a career. iComputer committee discovers pirth of on-campus terminals More than $300,000 has been earmarked for the expan sion of the computer resource facilities at the College. In October, the CCC Board of Education approved the purchase of . a new mini- lerminal and 13 micro computers at a cost of »299,707. The Board also, [agreed to fund a new computer staff position for $26,000. The action was based òri recom mendations filed by the college’s Computer User Task Force. After attempting to make I adjustments in the schedules If or computer use, the task ■force concluded that there was ■simply more of a demand for ■the terminals than supply, ac- ■cording to Tsuyoshi Inouye, ■data processing officer. Inouye explained that the 11 task force shifted the computer I use schedules during registra- I non and finals week, (when the ■ computers are in great de- ||nand) but found it still in- Iterfered with student Use. “The need for the addi tional computer' terminals is ■due to the increased utilization ■of the equipment within the ■college,” Inoùye said. The new staff person will ^■e hired in January. Half of his time will be spent helping the instructional staff get computers involved with their classes, and the other half, 'teaching computer classes. “Basically, he or she will be the driving force of the utilization. The job will be to maintain the micro-computers, keep an eye out for new uses for them, and to initiate development of the system of micros,” Inouye said. The mini-computers will be installed in Barlow Hall. The College Speech Team talked their way into a good showing at last weekend’s forensics tournament held at Lower Columbia College. “I’m pleased with how well we did,” head coach Frank Harlow said.
