The Arts Festival

The Arts Festival

The Arts Festival is being held in conduction with Winter Tournament at Christchurch. The Festival includes such cultural activities as Law Moot, Joynt Scroll (debating), Chess, Music Drama, French Plays, Jazz and several literary functions during which poems, short stories, etc, will be read and discussed.

The Festival is being held in the first week of the holidays i.e. from Sunday 14th to Thursday 18th. All day Saturday the Law Moots are being held, and on Sunday the official opening takes place.

From Victoria, there are entrants in every section except Sculpture. The Chess Club is sending down four people for the competition. The Music Society is sending down enough players with rehearsed numbers to fill in a whole concert.

The Jazz Society is sending down a large contingent for the concert on the Wednesday night, and will also be taking part in the musicians' evening on the Monday.

The Debating team consists of Mr Hanlin and Mr McNeill, and they are quite confident of success.

The Drama Club is putting on a French farce, "Interieur," produced by Harvard Hollenberg. It is being presented on the Monday night, and should be quite a polished production.

The Literary Society is sending down three members, Juliet Sheen, Secretary. Mark Young, Editor of Experiment Seven, and Keren Clark. These people are taking care of the literary side of Arts Festival.

It is going to be a mighty crowded week for those who go, but from the looks of things at this distance it is going to be a highly successful Arts Festival. It is to be hoped that it becomes a regular part of University life. It fills a lack that has been apparent for some time now.
