Perhaps the most serious error by the author was to separate the analysis of the campus ministry from the analysis of the student body's concerns. No reference was made to the opinions of the students concerning the ministry. As Vatican II so strongly emphasized, the role of the laity is vital to the life of the Church. We, as students, have seen our role as committed Christians to consist of active participation in the campus ministry. In fact, it is because our ministerial activities in the undergraduate organization have been so closely intermeshed with the activities of the chaplains...
...September 1974 as the result of an effort to open the Department's only performance course--Music 180--to more undergraduate musicians in order to give them the close attention and instruction they need. In her two years with Music 180, Zander has fulfilled more than her prescribed role. We are very impressed with her understanding of music and its performance, and her ability in communicating her ideas. Her devotion to her students is such that she spends an average of 30 hours a week personally coaching them, besides helping and advising students outside the course. Her resignation at this...
...changes in character; unfortunately, these changes have to be absolutely clear-cut if the play is to make sense, and very few of them are. Jeffrey Harper's Perry is an overly blustery old man, and an overly vapid young one. Jill Clayton is even less believable in her role of the understanding mother and repressed woman. Alison Becker's Marina, the daughter who is sometimes a child, sometimes a sensuous torch-singer, and sometimes a cynical adolescent who rejects moral absolutes, is the best realized of the three, but even she can't quite draw the fine lines between...
...excellence of this production is due, above all, to the conspicuous talents of the four leads. The role of Elsie, the youthful ideal of maidenhood, is a flat one to begin with, and Ellen Burkhardt offers little more than freshness and smiles to fill it out; but her voice is so stirring and powerful that it overwhelms any deficiencies in her acting. By contrast, Linda Anne Kirwan is a gifted comedienne, handling the part of Pheobe with real comic flair and singing well, if less vigorously than her rival. Roberto Gaston makes an extraordinarily winning Fairfax, with his broad toothy...
...acting laurels for the show clearly belong to Terry Knickerbocker, who delivers a lustrous performance as Jack Point. Possessed of a "pretty wit," Point is a man paid to be funny while all the time bleeding inside. Knickerbocker's command of the role is nothing short of masterful--every gesture, every expression is just right. Excluded from the circle of marital contentment at the end, he endows his final appeal to Elsie with a poignant melancholy that is riveting...
