Student Court Examines
Organizational Constitutions
Each recognized organization
on campus must have a consti­tution
and each constitution must
fulfill certain rules of the ASC
Constitution. Last week the Stu­dent
Court took upon itself the
review of every constitution, a
mammoth task.
On Dec:. 3 the Court discussed
with the Lamba Delta' Sigma
fraternity whether it was fuJ.
filling a religious or fra ternal
Deed.
Its representatives stated
that while the LDS Club did
have a religious basis, the fra­ternity
did not.
Constitutions of other organi­zations
such as the Sigma Kai
Omeg'l fraternity, the Sigma Ep­silon
~igma and Omicron Kappa
Gamn a sororities, the Conserva­tive
Baptist Student Organiza­tion,
the Rifle Club, and the Los
Hacheros were given to the
Court justices to study.

No. 19, dealing with the Coun ­cils,
that the names of the Coun­cils
be changed from the Aca ­demic
Council, the Honorary
Council, and the Recreational
Council to the Professional-Aca­demic
Interests Council, the
Honorary-Service, and the Rec­reational-
Special Interests Coun­cil

duties of a Council and to elect

'Amah/' Starts Thursday
"Amahl and the Night Visi­tors"
will be presented Thursday
and Friday, Dec. 13 and 14 by the
Opera Workshop.
The lead role of Amahl will be
portrayed by Tony Smallwood.
Sharon Williams will play the
part of Amahl's mother.
Under the direction of Dr.
Rodger Ardrey, the one-act opera
was written for television. Back­ground
on the story goes back
almost tWo thousand years ago.
Amahl is a little crippled shep­herd
who lives with his widowed
mother in a poor cottage.
In the opening scene Amahl is
seen sitting outside of his cot-tage
gazing at the stars. His
mother becomes raging angry at
him, as he won't obey her to
come inside. He claims that he
is watching a wonderful star that
has been moving across the sky
"Like a chariot of fire."
In the middle of the night,
three richly clothed kings and a
page stop a t Amah l's home seek­ing
lodging. Amahl answers the
door and has much trouble con­vincing
his mother of such call­ers.
The kings explain that they
are taking gifts for the Christ
child and that the star will guide
them to him.
After everyone had retired,
Amahl's mother decides to steal
some of the gold gifts to keep
her son from starving. She Is
caught by Melchior, played by
Forrest Baugh. Melchior ex­plains
what kind of child they
are seeking and offers her the
oold which she refuses. Know­lug
'they have nothing to offer
the "chHd", Amah! offers his
crutch to the child and in .his
unselfish joy he Is cured of his
lameness and goes with the
kings to see the Christ child
The opera will be presented
along with the "Christmas Ora­torio"
by the Northern Arizona
Symphonic Choir in the College
Union Auditorium at 8:15p.m.
