The real success, however, was having its prim'er performance nearby in Stillwell. The Littly Theatre of Cullowhee opened its six-performance, spring quarter production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific" on the stage in the Little Theatre auditorium.

On Tuesday night, the Spring Festival Planning Committee and the Interfaith Council co- sponsored a "BavarianCellar" coffee-house In the basement of the Student Union. The Interfaith Council provided the free refreshments, and the Planning Committee provided the entertainment in the form of Don Turner, a freshman folk singer.

Barry Steagall, outgoing Senate President, stated that "a lot of time, money, and effort had been put into it (Spring Festival Week), and there has been very little response from the students. This appeared to be the consensus of the Senate as well as that of most of the students concerned with the presentation of Spring Festival. Spring Festival Week 1967 was considered a great improvement over last year, but it was faced with the same problem—student participation and attendance. Tom P-,tts, newly elected President of Men's House Government, and Jane Cabe were co=chairmen of Ihe Spring festival Planning Committee. "HELL NIGHT," INFORMAL Women's Fraternity.
