Freshman
Has Part
In TTPIay
By KEN POWELL
Dewell Gwinn, a freshman,
played a major role in the fantasy
"Berkeley Square" which ended its
run at the Town Theatre last
week.
He played the part of TowR Tom
Pettigrew. It was Gwinn's first
play with Town Theatre, but he
has had considerable experience
with the Spartanburg Little
Theatre where he did the lead in
"Home of the Brave."
As for "Berkeley Square" itself, 1
Director Gene Crotty proved again
that he can take a difficult play
and make a success of it. Peter
Standish was played very well by
Russ McElwee. The other players
showed similar ability.
The production was not as good
in over-all quality as TT usually
produces. This was perhaps due
to the difficulty of shifting the au
dience's view from one century to
another, and because the players
had only a short period in which
to prepare themselves for the high
quality acting for which the Town
Theatre is known.

Many Suffer
Disease, Cor
By BOB KEI)ERICK
Contest-itis is a disease you can
not find listed in the medical books,
nor is it recognized by any of the
leading medical men as a standard
form of mental or physical dis
order, and yet there are many
sufferers.
The disease is born when the
afflicted feels a peculiar urge to
become an entrant in all contests. I
It doesn't matter what kind; quiz,
jingle writing, song-title guessing,
football score-predicting, and many
more kinds of contests conducted
by many of the live-wire adver
tisers.
Symptoms of contest-itis are
numerous and easily recognizable:

Calls For Truth
To Be Presented
St. Louis, Mo.-(I.P.)-Ameri
can colleges and universities must
return to the concept of truth "or
fail this country in its hour of
crisis," the Rev. Paul C. Reinert,
president of Saint Louis Univer
sity, declared recently. Too many
institutions of higher learning, he
asserted, are "afraid of teaching
the very principles imbedded in
our American Constitution and
Bill of Rights, lest they be con
sidered dogmatic or doctrinaire."
While voicing his opposition to
"loyalty oaths" and the forcing of
democratic convictions on anyone,
Father Reinert said "what wor
ries me today is the relativism in
regard to truth which stands at
V}i 1 "'*.............. .. at
oaths and the like."
"The truths of democracy, just
as all truths, must be freely and
spontaneously embraced if they
are to endure in the minds and
hearts of men and "omen."
