just can't bear to see the stage
empty. With 1t barely cooled
off from a recent production of
"Antigone," Mr.. Dodson, in
charge Of theater activity at the
school, now has q diverting va
riety show on it.
While he is busy with this
as the school year nears its
end, Mr.. Dodson is plotting
bigger and better things to
start in the autumn. The fall
program isn't definite yet, but
Mr.. Dodson is sure his new
dream come-true theater will
allow him and his students to
do more - and consequently
learn more-than in the past,
Another aspect Of his pro-
fessional life that has Howard's
theater head man happy is the
creation Of a full-fledged COL
lege of fine arts at the uni
versity. This means that stu
dents Of theatrical crafts will
not be burdened by required
courses in other fields that are
not especially useful to them.
With his charges free to con-
centrate on the drama and
things related-and with this
theater to do their concen-
trating in-Mr. Dodson has
high hopes for them.
Among the tests he's plan
ming to pit them against next
season are original plays. At
least one, more If he can lay
his hands on worthwhile new
scripts.
Il don't see much point" he
was saying the other night,
"in doing Three Men on a
Horse over and over. Also
I'd like to do a musical, per-
haps 'Carousel.' Not neces-
sarily 'Carousel,' but some big,
splashy musical. Now that we
have the theater for it, it would
be a crime not to do one.
I'VE have some senior stu
dents with the voices for it,

we'll probably do some Shake

OAR SAYS:
SPARE THE
SQUARE

The Daughters of the
American Revolution are
gravely concerned about
the slated removal Of the
"house Of history" fronting
on Lafayette Square, and
intend to tell President
Kennedy so.
A motion introduced by
past President General
Gertrude S. Carraway, and
passed at the congress,
urges Daughters through
out the land to write to
the President and to their
Congressman about their
interest in saving Lafay-
cite Square and other SYM
bolS of our American heri-
tage.
Lafayette Square "is a
veritable forecourt for the
White House." Miss Car
raway said.
Both Democratic and
Republican Congressman
have asked Daughters to
help save the Dolly Madison
house and the Benjamin
Tayloe house there, Miss
Carraway said.
She declared that one
fourth Of the historically
significant buildings in the
country have been destroy
ed in the last 20 years.

notes that -. Edgar Hoover

conquer the minds Of the
youth Of the United States,
namely, by the formation of
a youth organization whose
activities will be secretly di-
rected by Communist Party
members by fermenting tur-
moil among students and
other youth and instigating
riots"
The resolution protests the
sale and circulation of New

it says is a Communist Llag-

organization for the sole

change in favor of proxy vot-
ing would discourage attend

Vote Is a Privilege
A Mississippi daughter
said, THE vote is a privilege
to guard jealousy. No one
in this hall would be willing
to have anyone cast her vote
for President. or Governor"
Daughters generally oppos-
ing the change stressed that
proxy voting for chapters by
top State officers, as pro-
posed, would be a mistake for
the OAR to strike at the
principles on which the OAR
was founded.
The OAR is the most
democratic organization to
which you belong" one
daughter stressed. Adopting
such an amendment would
destroy equality.
A teller vote Of 2,l1S

Ask DECD Review
The Daughters also asked
Congress to review the sig
nificance Of participation in
the Organization for Econom-
ic Cooperation and Develop
ment, and urged that no
appropriation be granted for
the implementation of this
program"
This resolution contends
participation will hasten the
development of world gov
ernment "since it incorpo-
rates a scheme to make for
eign aid a permanent feature
of national policy and to
channel such aid through
an international agency,
thereby disfranchiSing the
Congress and the American
people from authority over
foreign aid and trade policy"

ton in the treaty was intro

DOWNFALL FOR
CASTRO

President Kennedy has
no alternative but to bring
the full power of the United
StateSe to bear upon Cuba
and see through to a sue
eSsful conclusion the coun-
ter-revolution against the
Castro Government, the
Daughters of the American
Revolution were told today.
John G. Ackelmire, asso-
ciate editor Of the Indianap-
oils News, was applauded
by the Daughters meeting
in the 10th Continental
Congress in Constitution
Hall when he urged this
step Ito bring about the
downfall of Castro"
Mr.. Ackelmire said 1t was
quite obvious" the United
States has given the coun-
ter-revolution it's blessing,
and therefore must help it
to success now.
This must be done, he
said, in spite Of what is
known as world opinion.
He said he felt the peo-
pie leading the counter-re-
volution were themselves
men with strong leftist"
positions.
But any sort of successful
revolution against Castro,
who has aligned himself
with Russia, is worthy of
our support, Mr.. Ackelmire
declared.
He stand he felt Presi-
dent Kennedy's stand to
date has been a good one.
But he said the founder
ing counter-revolution now
must be given our support.

Proxy Voting

The Daughters Of the
American Revolution today
rejected proposed proxy vot-
ing at their Continental Con-
gress after Spokesmen on
both sides invoked the prin-
ciple that inspired their
ancestors in the War for
Independence.
Taxation without repre-
sentation" was the cry Of q
Michigan daughter who in
troduced the bylaws change.

Washington are less apt to be

Urged Congress to enact
legislation which will pro-
vide that American labor
union organizations be made
subject to Federal antitrust
and tax laws on the same
basis as American business
organizations"
The resolution refers to the
fact that antitrust laws,
enacted to curb the nonopo-
listic power Of big business,
have never been applied to
the present even greater
monopolistic power of big
labor unions"
Resolution Contents
The resolution contends
that 'by subterfuge and un-
der the guise of individual
choice. which can be and
frequently is coerced, huge
sums of money are collected
and used to influence elec-
tions."
1t also contends that the
power Of labor leaders has
been built on immunities and
privileges granted labor
unions, but denied people
outside the unions.
Rap Peace Corps
Nine resolutions were
passed by the Daughters at
yesterdays session.
They include a condemna-
ton Of President Kennedy's
Peace Corps.
The resolution contends
the corps would deprive
America of its most talented
young people who should be
preparing for leadership at
home in industry, the profess
sions. the political life of tht
country and the armed
forces.
The "immeasurable cost"
Of maintaining the Peace
Corps would put a new bur-
den on the taxpayer, it said.
Furthermore, it contends,
service in foreign lands in the
Corps would be a health haz-
ard for Americas youth. 1t
would also deprive them of
Constitutional rights while
abroad, and would separate
them from moral and dis
ciplinary influences of their
homeland"
The resolution asks Con-
gress not to enact legislation
in support Of the Peace Corps.
Hail Monroe Doctrine
The Daughters also passed
a resolution calling for Con-
gressional re-affirmation Of
the Monroe Doctrine, as well
as work toward an early end
to Communist infiltration of
Central and South America,
especially in the Caribbean
area.
The resolution declared the
Monroe Doctrine, which pro-
tected the sovereignty Of the
Western Hemisphere for over
a hundred years, has been
violated by International com
munism through infiltration
and agitation in many parts
Of Central and South Amer
lea, the Panama Canal Zone

1t protests the "doWngrad-
ing Of American history by
television programs that dis
tort historic facts and malign
the character Of American
patriots"

ment industry ito clean its

censorship becomes newt
