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. Attending the
tourney were 19 two- and four-
year schools from throughout
the Northwest.
Edward Matthew Coyne
took 4th in the “Mandible
Marathon” (note: a mandible,
for those who are not up on the
parts of the mouth, is the lower
jaw of invertebrates). Coyne
was also a finalist in the “Im­
promptu” category.

Nelson performed a selection

able to see that the arm is" not
paralyzed, it’s just a dead
weight,” Bennett explained,
Another student will have
simulated arthritis. “We will
tape thé fingers so the stiff
movements in the joints can be
felt,” she added.
Some students will be
placed in wheelchairs for à cou­
ple of hours. They will return to
CO 101 to share their ex­
periences and conflicts that
confronted them during their
