A TRADITION BEGINS

No one ever called it 11 News Calendar ... It was always the 11 Green Sheet, 11

in all ways but the name.

The new name and the new look reflect both tradition and change. Two years ago, the old News Calendar was a newsletter for the faculty and administrative staff of the Medical Center. There have been some changes, first for lUI and now for IUPUI. Circulation has grown from about 700 to more than 1,800, to reach all of the IUPUI faculty and administrative staff.

And the 11 Green Sheet 11 has grown heftier, from two or three pages a week to as many as eight or. 10 pages an issue. This heft buried the IUPUI Calendar in the back of 11 Green Sheet. 11 This leads to another change, another publication ...

IUPUI WEEK will be published each week in the News Bureau to list meetings, seminars, conferences, films, and similar academ,ic, administrative, and social events. IUPUI WEEK is designed for bulletin boards and will be distributed to all the appropriate places which we have been able to find.

Listings in IUPUI WEEK will carry such information as the title or description of the event, the sponsor, and the date, time, and place. IUPUI WEEK listings are open to student, faculty, or staff events, and to non-IUPUI groups which will hold meetings on campus.

The deadline for listings ~n IUPUI WEEK will be noon Wednesdays. They may be brought to the News Bureau or mailed to the editor, Miss Gretchen Wo 1 fram, 104 Fes 1 er Ha 11. This deadline wi 11 a 11 ow us to get IUPUI WEEK up on the bulletin boards each Monday morning. The deadline for GREEN SHEET will be 9 a.m. Thursdays. We need your cooperation. We need your news for GREEN SHEET and your listings for IUPUI WEEK --on time!

"f A single perfonnance of the Puccini opera 11 Manon Lescaut 11 will be given Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the North Central Hig~ School auditorium.

The opera, one of Puccini's first, is the second in the Showcase of Music series of the I.U. School of Music. Tickets are available from Mrs. Helen Zapp at the Union Building. Prices are $6, $5 and $3 with students admitted for $2. Tickets also will be available at the box office Tuesday night.

The Puccini tragedy features a beautiful girl who is victimized by a treacherous brother. Suzette Wankier, a graduate student in voice, is in the title role of Manon.

Puccini melodies and subtle characterizations are evident in this, his first successful opera. This work undoubtedly encouraged him to write such other and more famous operas as 11 La Boheme, .. 11 Tosca, 11 and 11 Madam Butterfly ...

v Other lead roles in the Indianapolis performance will be played by James Neely, a doctoral student in oral pedagogy, as Lescaut; Elliot Palay, an undergraduate voice major, as Des Grieux, and William Hartwell, a doctoral student in voice, as Geronte.
