(Continued Page 6, Col. 1) Glen Players Announce First Student Directed 3 Act Play The next student production of the Glen Players will be ""Beyond the Horizon."" This three act play will be given on the evenings of December first, second and third. This production is to be entirely a student activity. A student will direct the play and there will be an all student supervision. Never before in the history of Glen Players has a student directed a three act play. This should prove quite interesting as to what can be accomplished and may open the field of student directing. With all working together the next presentation of Glen Players will truly be a production not to miss. ""Beyond the Horizon"" represents the idealism of youth which demands adventure, and even when frustrated by love is conscious at the end that the very possession of the dreams have been worthwhile. It presents also the work of the playwright who is generally recognized to be the most significant of those who are now writing for the stage Jim Glass, Jay Butler, and Nancy Stroterhoff Rehearse for forthcoming Glen Players Production. ""Passion For Life"" To Be Shown Dec. 1 A movie, ""Passion for Life,"" is being shown in the auditorium on December 1, at 2 o'clock. It is a French film with English subti-tles. The Education Department is sponsoring this black and white feature. The film depicts a young teach-er in a French school who believes he can change the community through meaningful activity with children instead of book learning. A conservative element arises and threatens his job. The situation comes to a head when the teacher promises to show the school board that his way of teaching can get results by taking slow learners and teaching them. He wins the love of the students, and finally, after many struggles, the respect of the community. The film shows the value of cer-tain French educational methods as put into active use. Ground Tests Made For Dorm There may be another girls' dormitory in the future. They have surveyed the area and have been making ground tests in the past month. The probable dormitory will be located east of Glen Ek on what is now the scrimmage football playing area and one of the girl's soccer fields. The Dorm should ac-commodate about one hundred and fifty women. A grant was made of the amount to use for architectural plans. In February, the legislature meets, and we may get out grant to begin work on the dormi-tory then.

East and West Germany, the by Marie Holmead Using ""The World Today"" as nis subject, Dr. Elmer L. Keyser, pro-fessor of European History at George Washington University, spoke be-fore an audience of teachers and students at STC on Thursday, No-vember 10. Dr. Keyser, author of Grand Social Enterprise, and co-author of Contemporary Europe, received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees at G. W. and then took his Ph.D. at Columbia University. He also holds a seat on the board of editors of World Affairs Magazine and is Dean of University Students at G. W. Opening his lecture with a reference to the Geneva conference be-tween the Big Four Foreign Ministers, Dr. Keyser remarked, Nelson Bolender and Dot Levin. West speaks of a united Germany with free elections and representa-tion on a proportion basis of popu-lation. On the subject of disarmament, Dr. Keyser again emphasized the fact that, whereas Russia says for nations to declare all armaments and then to set up a control, the West again differs in that it wish-es to set up controls and then to declare whatever armaments member nations control, and to have aerial checks periodically to see whether members are stick-ing to their agreements. In closing his lecture, Dr. Key-ser referred to a newspaper head-line which stated that the U.S. had backed away from the con-ference and therefore had in-creased the threat of war. He stated that there was nothing for the United States to back away from since nothing had been of-fered and the U.S. had merely agreed to stand still and to wait for something definite to be said.
