Dynamic Cast Performs
With Youttiful

Vitality

by Oarey C. Gadson
" J o Be Young, Gifted and
B l a c k , " was an unforgettable eveiiiiig as it was presented to a
.•^landing room only audience in
Price Auditorium on October 7.
The play, appropriately titled, is
a dramatic, forceful and sentimental "portrait of (the late) Lorraine
Hansberry,
in her own
words."
In the mosl benevolent sense
of the word " T o Be Young, Gifted and B l a c k " can be termed nothing .short of a tribute to Miss
Hansberry and everything she represented. T h i s fact, does not,
however, in any way hamper the
production but rather it reinforces
her brilliance, exuberance, illumination, and youthful vitality,

To the Editor:
To Mr. Larry Green and Mr. Al
Smith:
It has been both amusing and
frustrating for me to read the
" w o r d s of w i s d o m " and " g e m s
of t r u t h " printed under your nebulous columns- Sports Scene and
Time Out. In a year when a little
encouragement and faith could go
a long way, we find both of you
hostile and biting.
I find it interesting the way
both of you can s o quickly and
accurately expound upon a statement (taken out of context) by another person. This ability, which
you obviously p o s s e s s , to understand another person and his thinking is truly unique! Maybe the

words of John Locke in "An Essay Concerning Human Unders t a n d i n g " would be relevant to
you- Mr. Green and Mr. Smith"We should have a great many
fewer disputes in the world if
words were taken for what they
are, the signs of our ideas only,
and not for things t h e m s e l v e s . "
A little common courtesy
and decency of finding out from
the original source what was in
fact meant by a statement and its
implications, might go a long way
toward being fair and honest to
yourself, the coach, the team, the
faculty, and the student body at
Lock Haven State College.
