Trinity Square Playhouse Opens Season With The Threepenny Opera
Acting President Sees Student Power As Not Realized at R. I. C.
Trinity Square Repertory Company Artistic Director Adrian Hall ·has announced that casting has been completed for the forthcoming production of the Brecht-Weill musical play The Threepenny Opera opening the resident professional theatre's Fifth Anniversary Season on October 5.
In the major role of Macheath, popularly known as Mack the Knife, is Richard Kneeland, a favorite of Rhode Island theatre-goers. Another well-known member of the Trinity Square Acting Company, Katherine Helmond, will play Jenny, the role made famous by Lotte Lenva in the original Threepenny 1928 Berlin production and repeated in the New York company.
Local audiences will also be pleased at the return of Robert Van }iooton who will be seen as Jonathan Jeremiah Peachum.
Others in featured roles include many returning players from last season - Ed Hall as the Streetsinger; Marguerite Lenert as Mrs. Peachum; Clinton Anderson as Tiger Brown, Sheriff of London; James Gallery as Readymoney Matt; Barbara Orson as Lucy Brown; Peter Gerety as Flich; William Cain as Smith; Robert J. Colonna ·as Walt Dreary and Marius F. Maxmanian as Reverend Kimball.
New to the Trinity B,esident -Acting Company this season are: Leta Anderson (Mrs. William Cain) who will play Polly Peachum; Anthony Palmer as Crook-
Year of th,e Man
Campaign There is new hope for the "hers"
at Rhode Island College. Frank A. Bucci, admissions director at RIC, has labeled the college's effort during the past year to attract more qualified male students a "marked success."
The Year of the Man campaign, begun last fall, has succeeded in raising the ratio of men fn the entering class to better than one in every three freshman, compared with the 1-4 ratio of a year ago.
Two hundred and eighty-six men are among the 798-member class of '71, compared to only 180 last year.
Admissions efforts, including campus tours and sports events, were aimed at the male, but as Mr. Bucci pointed out, the major appeal to the male high school senior was expanded academic program.
"The development of the curriculum, were major factors in the increase, "Mr. Bucci explained.
The total of 286 men in the freshman class is the largest ever, and is an increase of 59.7% over 1966, While the overall class size jumped only 9%.

E-DITORIALS A Message To The Freshmen From
Dr. D.R. Mierzwa, Dean of Students
A Message To The Class of '71 To the Class of 1971:
I am pleased to welcome you to the College. It is difficult to know
just what to say to you that is of significance. Academically, most of
you should be able to meet the challenges and complete the require
ments for a degree. And although this is your primary goal, perhaps
what is of greater concern -is your personality development. In the
brief four years ahead, you have the option of merely responding to the
minimum of academic demands or to avail yourself of every opportu
nity that will help you develop your potentials to the utmost.
Welcome freshmen! As you embark on your college career, the Anchor extends its best wishes that you will experience the highest measure of personal fulfillment as you progress towards your degree.
You are fortunate in having been admitted to Rhode Island College as it is one of the fastest growing colleges in the nation, both physically and intellectually.
On the other hand, RIC is fortunate in having you, the Class of '71 as students, for you have survived the fierce competition encountered in gaining admission and have thereby already proven the measure of your capabilities. Your presence gives. renewed strength to the College community, and with your energies and enthusi-
asm RIC is assured of even further growth in the next four years.
We would offer our counsel to you as you begin the college life: immerse yourselves in the academics and extra-curricular activities of the College. Don't allow yourselves to become caught in the quagmire of apathy which has taken hold of so many members of our society. Seize every opportunity for maximum personal development.
You can leave RIC to live mediocre lives or you can be persons of total empathy for your fellow humans and their myriad problems.
The future is yours, make the most of it!
What you do and what you become is of serious consequence. Our
nation faces grave challenges. The war in Vietnam may seen remote,
yet many young men your age have already given their lives for a
cause known as freedom. Throughout our nation detennined efforts are
being waged to resolve our own inequalities. In our affluent society, we
cannot afford to ignore those who are hungry, ill-or un-educated,
living in Slums and who have little reason to extol the virtnes of living
iu a democracy.
Therefore, what happens to you at R.I.C. will be revealed in the
values you contmue to develop and the influence you will hav,e, both at ~
the College and in our society in the future. Might I hope that you are
able to benefit from your educational experiences to help resolve some
of these dilemmas and play a part in the betterment of our society.
Letters to the Editor
Secret For Winning A Quick War Editor's Note: All letters to the editor must be signed in order to be published. The fact that a letter is printed in this column does not necessarily mean that it is in agreement with the opinions of the editorial board of the Anchor.
Compelling the givihg and receiving of honor would merely be absurd if it were not done by an administration which sihnultaneously claims to advocate individualism and academic freedom. In such a case, the situation descends from ludicrousness to hypocrisy.
One of the sad spectacles of the summer has been the irresponsible attempt of anti-gun spokesmen to get rid of the U.S. Civilian Marksmanship Program. Some have thrown criticisms as recklessly as if they were verbal fire bombs. Among them:
Claim: The Federal government "subsidizes the National Rifle Association" by spending some $3,000,000 a year on civilian marksmanship.
(Fact: Not one cent of any such sum goes into the NRA treasury. Much goes for surplus obsolescent ammunition issued to local shooting clubs.)
Claim: Civilian marksmanship expenditures represent "money wasted" to indulge the pleasure of a few thousand shooters at public expense.
(Fact: Congress founded the U.S. Civilian Marksmanship Program in 1903 because it recognized that small peacetime standing armies might lack time and personnel to train millions of hastily mobilized civilians. Two World Wars, Korea and Vietnam have more than borne out the wisdom and vision of the program. It has sent thousands of seasoned shooters into every major U.S. conflict since, many as badlyneeded marksmanship instructors and others - witness the NRA Honor Roll of Vietnam heroes - as exceptionally straight shooters in battle.)
Far from being an American eccentricity and a waste of money, as some of the anti-gun critics suggest, civilian marksmanship is older than the United States and virtually as old as firearms. As far back as 1565, Polish King Sigismund II presented a symbolic gold-and-silver cock to a civic shooting society to reward civilian accuracy. The Swiss, the Swedes, and other proudly independent peoples foster a protective strength far above that of their small standing armies by government support of civilian shooting.
So when Secretary of the Army Stanley R. Resor investigates the U.S. Civilian Marksmanship Program ( which comes under the Department of the Army at the request of anti-gun spokesmen in Congress.) he might look abroad for enlightenment that he will not get from the anti-gun element.
The Secretary of the Army might do well to look at the only modern nation that has won a major war in le.ss than a week -Israel.
Thousands of war correspondents, commentators, analysts and professional wiseacres have advanced theories as to how the heavily-outnumbered Israelis won their magnificent victories.
Here is ours - the one that somehow seems to have been overlooked by the geniuses of newsgathering. Our answer takes only two words - civilian marksmanship.
If not the whole answer, that may well be a large part of it. No matter whether the Israelis fired rifles, machineguns, rockets or artillery, their accuracy was phenomenal. This is hardly amazing. They had both tradition and practice.
We request that, whenever pos-sible, letters be typed. , In certain instances, names will be withheld upon request of the writer.

Now isn't it a pity, Such a pretty girl as I,
Should be sent to the factory To pine .away and die.
There may be more poetry than truth in the words of that old sonjg. But the truth is pretty close by anyhow.
"Pretty little girls" earned $3.00 for a seven-day week; drank a cup of coffee for breakfast because it was all they could afford and then skipped lunch to hoard their pennies for supper.
But all that happened so long ago. Why talk about it now?
Because we want you to know how these conditions disappeared.
They disappeared through the efforts
of labor unions such as the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. Through our union we won fair wages and decent working conditions. -
Today, we in the ILGWU, continue to work for improved wages and better working conditions; for better housing and more effective education and equal opportunity for all.
Our label, sewn into women's and children's apparel, is our signature. It is a symbol of the progress made and more to come.
Look for it when you shop.·. It's also your guarantee that the·

Barrington College succeeded in marring the debut of the Rho_de
, Island College soccer team by dealing the Anchormen a 3-1 defeat. In the game, played in Barrington 1ast Thursday, the Anchornen successiully held Barrington' s offensive attempts throughout most of the first two periods. But then, several defensive errors on the part of the An-
chormen resulted in a goal by Barrington's John Blackson who succeeded in getting the ball past RIC's goalie, Dave Marzelli.

an impressive game and had 20 saves before the game was over. At one point just before halftime, Marzelli was aided nicely by Senior Bob Marchand's brilliant stop of an attempt on goal by the Indian's John Dean.
-The Anchormen moved the ball very well throughout the game. Freshmen hopefuls · Lionel Jean and Brian Samson looked very promising and newcomer Mario Amiel's two goals speak for themselves. Veterans Marzelli, Marchand, Short, Colardo, Haigh, and Wade all gave impressive performances.
All in all, it looks like there is some fine soccer in store for interested fans. Rhode Island College students who stayed home Saturday missed a good one. The Anchormen meet Fitchburg State College this afternoon at home in their first NESCAC game of the season. I'd be there if I were you.

However, the Anchormen were not fo be denied their moment of glory. It. came in the third period as Mario Amie!, a newcomer to the team, scored his first goal on a penalty kick.
Throughout the remainder of the game each team succeeded in keeping the other scoreless. It looked like the final score would be 2-1 but with just seven seconds remaining in the game Barrington's Bob .McKittrick scored Barrington's third goal of the game.

Perhaps one of the factors contributing to the loss was the team's relative inexperience at functioning as' a cohesive unit. Quite possibly once they have played a few games together and the main defensive weaknesses have been ironed out, the defensive team could perform as well as an already impressive offensive team.
