Glamour Girl
By Mary Rominger
JoEllen Cuthbertson, modeling a light blue "classic
blouse," a floor length royal
purple hostess skirt, and
flashing her "poison" ring,
was selected "Best-Dressed
Marian College Girl."
Because the girls in her
school wore uniforms, JoEllen
sought individuality in taste
and grooming.
At Marian, JoEllen, an art
major, has illustrated campus
publications and designed
theatrical costumes. An ardent seamstress, she made all
three of the outfits shown
Sunday. Her plans for the
future are indefinite, but will
be concerned with the arts.

Sunday, Feb. 12, in the Music

Tonight in Richmond, Ind.,
the Knights encounter the
Earlham Quakers. Never has
there been a more important
basketball game for Marian.
A win tonight, coupled with
victories over St. Francis on
Saturday afternoon and Rose
Poly on Tuesday, could give
Marian a berth in the NAIA
District 21 play-off. The
Knights will try to avenge an
earlier 87-74 Quaker defeat
incurred in the Indiana Central Tournament.
Stopping Earlham's inside-
outside combination of Steve
Ward. Mike Martin and Steve
Berg will prove to be difficult.

Happy New Year! Last week
marked the beginning of the Year
of the Ram, Chinese lunar calendar year 4665. In many parts of
Asia there was jubilant celebration marked by parades, fireworks,
and feasting, but in China itself,
the world's most popular nation,
; there was no celebration.
As the end of the old year approached, Mao Tse-tung announced that because his enemies would
take advantage of the celebrations
jfto further their opposition he
must cancel all festivities. Many
questions are pertinent at this
juncture: What is happening in
Red China? Why? Who will likely
emerge in control? What will the
year of the Ram bring to the
Chinese people?
What is happening in China Is
a bitter struggle for power between Mao Tse-tung, Communist
Party Chairman, and those members of the party hierarchy whose
views differ from his.
It appears that the cultural rev-
iolution has been in progress since
jlate 1965 but the present phase did
jnot begin until August, 1966, when
jthe youthful Red Guard was implemented   in   order   to   actively
Many observers feel that
Marian is a much better ball
club now than earlier in the
year, the main reason for this
being the consistency of its
big men both in shooting and
rebounding. If this outlook
holds true, Marian will bring
I home the "big win" and the
'second goal of the season, a
tournament bid, might become a reality. After tonight's encounter, the Knights
will be home to meet St.
Francis (Sat., 2:30) and Rose
jPoly (Tues., 8:00). The following week they close their
season schedule with road
games with Anderson and St.
Joseph.
Skits Combine

A Thurber Carnival is coming  to  Marian  College  February 24, 25, and 26 under th
direction of Jack O'Hara anc
with a cast composed entire!
of members of our drama dc
,partment.   This collection  : !
I James Thurber skits is uni-~ r
I for its combination of frolic   -
ling humor, and Thurberesc a
I penetrations of life situation:-.
: Skits range from "The Secret
'Life of Walter Mitty" and hi*
hilarious yet pathetic delusions to the historical fantasy.    "If  Grant  Had  Beer,
Drinking At Appomattox.''
Doing a difficult and masterful job reading lines liko:
"She's always living in the
past. Now she wants to be
divorced in the Virgin Inlands," will be Max Henschen,
i Bob Clements, Mike Eckstein,
Kent Overholtzer, Luke Fry,
Gayle Steigerwald, Barb
Bates, Judy Rexing and Ginny
; Mosele.   .
i A special Progressive Jazz
accompaniment will be per-
' formed by Tony Wadsworth,
Vic Thompson, Chris Sweeney,
Dan Lempa.
j Since ticket sales are/already exceeding expectations,
the drama department suggests they be bought not to
avoid the rush at the admis-
' sion window and to be assured
of a seat at Marian's funniest
and most heartwarming production of the 1967 season.
Turning a deaf ear, Gayle Steigerwald ignores Max Henschen's
words of wisdom.
