Is Bach just another four letter word to you? Do you imagine grubby little grunions playing with ink and type in Bixler basement? Or does, the vision of a dance troupe prancing about a stage while clad only in leotard immediate- ly remind you of fairies? " If so, the 1976 Student Arts Festival is being orga- nized to dispel your misconceptions. SAF is a month of student and professional performances, workshops, and mini-lectures involving music, art, dance, poetry, and crafts, scheduled from February 18 to March 1.4. The entire pro- gram is based upon mter-departmental cooperation and student/faculty interaction. , SAF will open with the Student Art Exhibit in Jette Gallery. The exhibition will include projects by all inde- pendent and group Jan Plans dealing with art, as well as art work done by individual 1 Colby students over the past year. SAF will present, musical performances by Dana Rus- sian, trumpeter; Harry Duscomb, cello ensemble; Vinnie Martucci's Trio; Bob Weinstein's American Music Jan Plan ; The Saints Come Marching In.

Next semster at Colby there will be an opportunity for any dancer or anyone interested in modern 'dance arColby to participate in a "unify- ing performing group", under the auspices of Tina Mitclicll. There is a need for dance at Colby, n ot on- ly to provide the more serious dance students a chance to work and discipline themselves to a greater and more meaningful extent, but also a chance to per- form at places other than Colby in the community and perhaps throughout the state of Maine. There are several purposes for forming such a group at Colby. For dance to continue with mean- ing and purpose it must stimulate creativity, imagina- tion and discipline in this perform ing art. To this end, more intense time and study is required. Plans call for the elimination of the Dance Club, which now meets only once a week, and for the incorpo- ration of the phys. ed. modem dance class into the alloted time for the dance gro up. The groups will meet seven days a week with two of the days scheduled for the regular phys-ed class. After the class a regu lar rehearsal will ensue. Thus, there will be an opportunity for disci- plined training and a time for rehearsal for future perfor- mances or demonstrations of dance. There are many advantages in a dance program of this nature. Firstly, the serious dancer or performer will be subject to a rigorous routine. Secondly, any students of modern dance within the physical education program may be incorporated jnto the group through their own in- terest. Thirdly, the group will meet from 4:30 to 6:30 everyday, thus eliminating the night classes now held. (photo by Gustafson and Horn) Fourthly, the outgrowth of a performing troupe may prove to be quite successful at Colby. Formulations of a specific performance and lecture demonstrations for public interest will be made.

It is difficult to do, but Abbot has tried to get away from this linearity in film. In a painting, all is laid out there before you — all at the same time. Abbot is trying to pre- sent a "moving painting." His film falls outside of any spa- tial-temporal continuum. The series of images tries to lift * COff tlMtMre ' one from a "normal''', four-dimensional orientation into ** a more experiential or creative orientation. Abbot tries to put together scenes or flashes, each of which creates a certain "asthete" in him. I'm not sure whether Abbot would use this word , but I would call it "transcendent." This sc- ries of experiences "gets him off" ; as an artist he tries to recreate, to express this m ovement, this energy, into a form that will push or lead another person into a similar aware- y. jJ ness. He said that he would like, at times, to attach the be- m^i r ^ ^V^t , ginning of the film to the end , making a loop. The end is ' i |h t U^J nearest to the beginning — he leaves the viewer off where ^ ^ ^ he picked the viewer up. In making a "piece of art", Abbot feels that it is im- portant for there to be a "dialogue " between himself and his work. He does not sit down with a worked out plan and map i t out through some medium. Me starts with a feeling, a general idea, and as the work progresses, it, in a sense, creates itself . It may turn out completely different fro m the idea or feeling from which i t began. In this.orien- tation , Abbot is himself the medium.

This article, rather, will con- centrate on the humanistic side pf Johnson-Hall. For this purpose, I have decided to interview one of the residents t( avow for an "inside view" of what Johnson Hall is really like. One young female kindly consented.

She gra- ciously allowed me to call her Mosey as well She was wen ing a Colby letter jacket that was three sizes too big for hei and flared blue jeans.

The place scares me." we would live on the first floor of ATO with our own bath- room or we would be found a room elsewhere on-campus. We signed so this experiment wouldn't go down the drain. By the way, we shared bathroom facilities with the bro- thers during the first week of school while our separate fa- cility wis being rennovated, It caused no problems. No one fainted ("a woman I oh , no!") from shock or embarrass- ment when we used the bathroom. If the rule is abolished , then more women can .live in frats. Really, why call it coed when the women live in isolation on the first floor? Women should be up there on the second and third floors. Why have only weekend women on these floors? Unfortunately, at this point in time, it seems questionable that the rule will be changed this year. However, there are alternative ways to get women up- stairs. The two most feasible solutions are i 1) to reno- 1 vate the existing bathrooms to accomodate both men and women, and still maintain single sex privacy. This would entail building a partition within the bathroom. Dean Seit- zinger and Ansel Grin dall are ready and willing now to 1 look , at facilities in frats; The second solution is to have integra- ted floors with an- all male bathroom on the second floor and a female one on the third, Either solution can be a- chievecl via the administration. All that's needed is a lot of interest and a little effort oh the part of both frats and wo- men.
