It now appears as if an eighth building, will join the congregation of Westminster's big seven. Proposed is a new library building to be located on the south side of Converse Hall, the architectural design for which will be completed in four weeks, according to Mr. Cardwell, Vice President.

He did not state his position on any questions. Mr. Melich Dr. Wilkinson spoke about the Cuban situation. He gave a chronological account of all mistakes and relied on the Monroe Doctrine, a mere statement of policy which is not valid in international law. Dr. Wilkinson appears to be more concerned with past mistakes than future solutions. It was a shame that Mr. Shelly, president of the Westminster YRs, did not open the meeting to questions from the floor. Rather he adjourned the meeting to informal .and limited discussion. n l(fcl V' wn Man Emerging was the theme of this years Living Issues Week, which was held during the week of February The guest speaker was Dr. Thomas F.

Everyone, no doubt, has heard about it, but let me tell you the whole story from the beginning. In 1946, Dr. Yancy and her language classes started Mardi Gras with the theme circling foreign countries. Booths were on the order of sidewalk cafes. Students, faculty and friends dressed in costumes; a king and queen were elected, and entertained by a floor show. Spanish students prepared the fillings for enchiladas, and the French and German 'students sold typical pasteries of ther respective countries of study. As the years went on, Mardi Gras became a tradition. This year, the International Dinner will be Saturday, March 7th. Serving begins at 5:30 pm in the student lounge. Mardi Gras is one of the biggest events of the year. This year, the theme is the circus. Everyone that likes to have fun is invited. The harder you work the more fun you will have. There is plenty of work to be done as there are prizes to be won; prizes for the best couple, best single, and best booths. The decorating will begin Friday, March 6, and continue until the deadline, Saturday at 4:00 p.m. At this time all messes must be cleaned up, and the booths completed. By 3:00 By Nina Ruslnnore The most recent production by the drama department was The Glass Menagerie. Under the competent student direction of Bob Loss and the inspired acting of Louie Campbell and Anne Showell, supported by Helen Ann d and Stan Clark, this proved to be the audiences type of drama last week. A full house all three nights, with a near record capacity house on Friday night watched, as the emotions of one of Tennessee Williams first plays unfolded. A combination of lights, sound effects, and excellence Lin-schie- in portrayal by. the actors once again exemplified the capacity of the drama department under the supervision of Mr. Lees and his vast re- source of technology and craft. Both Bob Loss, the student director, and Louie Campbell, the lead male actor, who coincidentally hail from the same town, in Colorado, will draw the curtain on their contributions to the Westminster stage this June. Their excellent artistry, serves as a compliment indeed, not only to Mr. Lees adroit guidance, but to Westminster in general. We look to the remaining group of this cast, and the unmentioned crews who the performance for continued, superb drama.
