EASIER

One of the basic—and perhaps perenial problems of the student has not even begun to be solved. The problem is this: alth— ough the aggressive nature of man has not \ changed and probably never Will, the character of the majority of students tends to be weighed down wi th APATHY .

we exist within an inst* itution because the stu— dent could not exist with- out it to serve his needs and yet our institution may set up a betrayal to our larger and deeper human needs. Whatever purpose we have devised the institution whether good or noble, we soon begin(unconsciously) to develop for our OWE sake more than for the sake of Qgg student community —

'the original purpose for which we are here.

Perhaps you are all thinking by now that I am saying we should all ex- ist in the form of a "SHMOO", the lovable crea- ture whose greatest den light was to please others and needed neither food nor drink nor warmth of home — the character that looks like rolly—polly seal in 'Lil Abner'.

The students perhaps for- get to consider the quest— ion of "loyality". Do we forget as soon as we set foot on campus that out— side of our studies our loyalties lie ultimately within the-student social groups? Seemingly, the students area of loyalty} narrows and presents a knotty problem.

This is about the first chance

an Island audience will have to view a fairly big name group,and on top of that a big name Canad- ian group. Lighthouse, with their combination of rock-jazz, was the group that stole the show at the Isle of Wight Festival last year. If you had to draw a comparison with Lighthouse and some other name group I suppose you could say that thetr style is fairly

closely in line with Chicago.

The reason for the closeness in styles comes from the fact that both groups use a brassy sound ensemble. Chicago may be perhaps a bit more polished but Light- house are really strong in the vocal department, and have the added attraction of an electric

My point however, is not stabbing at your physical aspects, but, wanting you to flourish in what is happening on this campus.

I do not suggest the classic arrangement that is more the fault of the student who is not part— aking in the social happ~ enings on campus than the society trying to get things happening. No, you should disdover yourselves that you both are at fault because the individ— ual social groups channels tend to indoctrinate them— selves into positions which should have been

a social evil in itself.

Be realistic, don't-you want to re-channel what you have to your fellow students and identify with a special part of YOUR community. Get over your hang-ups, read the signs A32 put them up to be read — this problem is not going to resOlve itself until 39g stop adhering to your little secluded corners.

THEATRE. WORKSHOP

People interested in joining the Theatre WOrkshop, under the dir- ection of Leighla Leigh, should phone Extension 261 or visit the old con— vent building, second floor.

-A larger crowd than ex— pected attended the first meeting of the Theatre Workshop held September .27, 1971 at "Monty Hall" Future meetings have been scheduled for Mondays and Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m..

violin. To those of you who hav-' en't heard of them before, I sug— gest you do now, and while you're at it draw some parallels in your mind between Lighthouse and the Dublin Corporation. I'm confident that you'll find Lighthouse a much superior group in probably every aspect. They play their instrument, better, they do their own material and theyKnow how to fight out at an audience. By fight out I mean that they can force you to notice what they're doing, make you feel their performance. Their stage show won't be like the Dublin Cor- porations, in that it will be much more authentic and will seem more

real. The tickets are expensive, but I think $2.50 is not an exor-

show with as much value as this one will probably have.
