Opera Workshop Presents Series From Mozart And Strauss The Opera Workshop of Stetson University will give a performance on Monday, January 13, at 8:00 p.m. in Elizabeth Hall Auditorium. The Program consists of scenes from Mozart's Bastien and Bastienne, Strauss' Die Fled- ermaus, and The Old Maid and The Thief by Menotti Bastien and Bastienne, an ipera complete in one act is based ->n a story of a forlorn shepherdess, Bastienne, who has been deserted by her wandering lover, Bastien. The Magician, Colas trans 'orras chaos into harmony through a harmless ruse. Bastien, the lov- ir, is sung by Robert , Turner; Bastienne, the shepherdess, by Patricia McBride, and Colas, the magician, by William Delk. A scene from the second act of Die Fledermaus offers a contrast in theme. It concerns a man who is able to recognize his wife's maid in disguise but does not recognize his own wife. This scene takes place in Prince Orlofsky's home during a gay party. Doris Rocker sings the part of Prince Orlofsky, the wealthy Russian; Carolyn Weiss, Adelle, the maid; Walter Pinder, Eisenstein, the erring husband and Betty Calloway, Rosalinda, his wife. Menotti has described his work with this statement: "How a virtuous woman made a thief of an honest man." The plot revolves around two old maids and a young girl who have one interest in common - men! The man in this instance is a tramp, who is taken into their home.

(Continued on Page Seven) FIVE MAJOR CHANGES PROPOSED ALL STUDENTS URGED TO VOTE Revision On Page Two Merits Careful Study Zf The long needed revision of Stetson's Student Government Association Constitution appears at last to be a reality with the expected favorable vote on Tuesday, January 14. Final discussion of the proposed revision will be held at 10 a.m. at the regular SGA meeting. All interested students are invited to participate in this discussion. The >SGA Constitutional Revis- NOTICE Men and women students interested in summer employment as camp counselors across the nation should ask for information from Mrs, Sara Staff Jernigan. Mrs. Jernigan announced, today Ihat many positions as camp counselors are open to both men and women of the Junior and Senior classes. Camp directors are especially interested in those students who have backgrounds in Elementary E&ucation, Music, Drama, Arts and Crafts, Sports, or Social Recreation Skills. • Campus Religious Activities by Jody Kelly Westminister Fellowship Campus religious groups have planned a variety of programs for this Sunday. Westminister Fellowship has scheduled a dramatic motion picture entitled "What Price Freedom." Based on a real incident, the film is one of courage and intrigue behind the Iron Curtain of East Berlin. All interested students are invited to meet with the Presbyterian, group at 6:15 in the First Presbyterian Church. Wesley Foundation A supper meeting is planned by Wesley Foundation. .It -will take place this Sunday at 5:30 at Trinity Methodist Church. Mr. Richard Pearce, local attorney and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Wesley Foundation,, will speak on "How to Cheat and Get Away With It." Following the supper and talk, there will be a recreation hour in the basement of the church. Wesley Foundation membesr planning to attend should turn in their reservations to Mr. Sartain this afternoon. Canterbury Club Canterbury Club, following its usual supper meeting at 5 o'cloc"k, ■will hear the Reverend Hay from Orlando speak on "Christian Education." Father Hay is well qualified to talk on this subject, since he is now in charge of the Christian Education Program of the diocese of South Florida. Every Wednesday morning at- 7 o.'clock the celebration of Holy Communion is held, with donuts and coffee being served afterwards. All Episcopal students are invited. ion Committee headed by Jack Woodall has worked since the beginning of the school year to make the revision meet the ehangf ing problems and needs of Stetson students. The new constitution is expected to eliminate many of the difficulties under which our S.G.A. officers have been working. Much time and effort has gone into the present revision of the Student Government Association Constitution in an attempt to provide an adequate working constitution for the Association. Many changes have been made. Some of the major ones include: 1. The establishment of a President's Cabinet - This cabinet is composed of: the presidents of the College of Liberal Arts, School of Business and the School of Music; presidents of the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes; presidents of Pan-Hellenic Counc.il, Inter Fraternity Council, and Student Christian Association and Officers of the SGA. This provides for a fifteen member cabinet to serve as an advisory group to the Student Govt. Assc. President. Certain powers are delegated to this Cabinet: (1) expenditures over fifty dollars shall be approved by the Cabinet and (2) the Cabinet has the right of review of any and all decisions of all committees in the Association and shall approve all committee appointments. 2. The Vice-Pres., Social Vice- Pres., Treasurer, and Secretary of the Student Govt. Association shall not be president of any campus associated organization. This we feel to be a very necessary step if these officers are to adequately perform the duties of their office. The time element would not allow a person to do justice to both the Student Govt. Assc. and the organization of which he or she was president. 3. Added to the officers elected under Article VIII of the now existing constitution are those of editor and business manager of the student newspaper, editor and business manager of the student yearbook, editor of the student handbook, and editor of the literary magazine. All of those offices plus those of the Student Govt. Association would be filled by a general election held on the last Tuesday in April of each (Continued on Page Seven)
