Petitions for office in the SGA were to have been filed in Miss Merino's olfioe yesterday. Cam- paigning by candidates begins to- morrow, and the election will be held next Wednesday beginning at 9 a.m. in a place to be designated * by notices posted on campus.

Students Invited to Honor Faculty and Administration by Frank Semon Every month during the school year students have a chance to recognize their favorite teacher or someone from the administration. Anytime during September students may cast their vote for their fa- varite person on the Administra- tive staff. All votes must be ac- companied by a statement explain- ing why this person deserves spe- cial recognition. For November and December only votes for Faculty members will be accepted. All votes may be placed in the sug- gestion box outside the office of the Old Weird Herald. This is a good opportunity for all students to give recognition to those teachers and administration who deserve it, and to some who don't deserve it. MORE PICTURES OF STAGE CRAFTER IN \PENDULUM\ PENDULUM PLAYS TO FULL HOUSE September 19th and 20th, the original play, \The Pendulum\ played to a full house. It is safe to guess, that the majority of the audience wasn't quite pre- pared for what was in store for them. In the opening scene, \Mo- ments of Creation,\ moans; un- doubtedly denoting childbirth, echoed throughout the auditor- ium, in the pitch dark. The audience, nervous over what was going on, responded with laughter and murmuring. The play is a masterpiece. It is an offspring from such Living Theater Productions as \Antigone \Paradise Now,\ and \Frankenstein.\ Mr. Miller readily admitted to having seen the Living Theater, and bor- rowing some of the techniques. The characters, nameless, ex- cept for Adam and two Eves; see the hypocrisy of today's establishment. This knowledge leads to \The Accusation and Execution of the Establish ment.\ To add to the effect, accusing fingers were pointed at us, the Establishment. In their new society, the char- acters teach their Christ image. Their means of teaching, how- ever, are far different from cur- rent methods. Some of their methods are seduction, sadism and the mind opening experi ence of marajuana. Symbolic- ally, after Adam's lessons, a hissing tree of humanity illum- inates the corruption, already present in their new establish- ment. The tree was likened to the snake in the Garden of Eden. The new establishment did not heed the warning which they should have learned from the old establishment. In an at- tempt to make their life more than a mere existence, they pulled a half-hearted audience into their society. It could be that the audience felt as con victed to the new society as the members which the characters were portraying. It was a very effective method. Because of their disregard for past-learned lessons, the New Establishment was also accused and executed, in a prelude to the coming of another estab- lishment. —Bob Potter Herald Gains Printer After a long search, the Old Weird Herald has found a printer. The West Side Publishing Com- pany on Polk Avenue in North Riittalln has accepted a con- tract with us to print the paper on a bi-monthly basis for $250 to $3OO per issue. The exact cost for printing depends upon the number of pictures in each issue. The school budget allows $1,500 for the operation of the paper which covers about five issues. We are taking outside advertising to aid in defraying the cost of publi- cation. Students may still place personal ads free of charge by placing them in the suggestion box adjacent to the Old Weird Herald office. Ray Lonsdale CAMPUS MUSIC IS BACK by D. Twist As most of us know, there have been numerous complaints con- cerning the broken juke box in the cafeteria and the removal of the stereo from the Waldorf lounge. Many of us who were here last year can remember, if only vague- ly, seeing a jukebox in the cafe- teria. Although it was there most of the time, one seldom heard any music because repairs were never rruwk' when a breakdown occured. Surprisingly enough, however, the stereo did wcrk, but was removed because its volume was sakl to dis- turb classes being held on that floor. Many of us are curious as to what happened to our only two sources of music. Well, things are looking up this year. According to Dean Shea, the jukebox is be- ing readied for use and should be back in the cafeteria in the near future. Even though the student lounge has been reopened with all new furniture, it will not contain the stereo. Instead, we will be able to find it in the N.C.C.C. coffee house which is scheduled to open soon Now that these two sources of inspiration are hack in use, we hope students will be able to enjoy them for the rest of the year. Notice All letters, advertisements, or other copy must be left at the Her- ald ofioe by 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, one week prior to publication.
