Roger Williams Fellowship Makes Western Indian Study
The ancient Wupatki ruins and Description Rock, where ancient Spanish explorers left inscriptions, were visited by the Roger Williams Fellowship group which toured the Southwest in a study of the American Indian during the vacation. They also visited the Grand Canyon and the San Francisco peaks.
The trip, made by five students and their minister, included religious, social, anthropological, and scenic interests.
The social change which faced the Indians was their greatest single problem, said Don Inde, Hope senior and one of the group who made the tour. He added that only one out of eight Indians leaving the reservations are able to make the transition successfully. Schooling of the Indian children, sanitation, health problems, native superstititions and a native narcotic, peyoti, provide additional problems, he said.
The Riverside School, Anadarko, Okla., one of the schools observed, is based on the cottage system. Here the dormitories are shared by boys in one wing, with girls in the other wing with a common dining room and living room. They are supervised by one housemother. It is an attempt to provide a more home-like atmosphere for the children.
Bacone College, the only Indian college in the U.S. and which is American Baptist supported, was also visited. The group found it to have an excellent art and music department with most of the graduates being successfully integrated into society or going into civil service jobs among the Indians.
The group also visited: two modern schools, on the Navajo reservation at Ganado, Ariz., sponsored by the Presbyterians, and St. Michaels, Ariz., a Franciscan mission. The American Baptist missions to the Kiowas and Wichitas at Anadarko, Okla.; the Navajos at Keams Canyon, Ariz., and the Ipiat at Polacca and Second Mesa, Ariz., were also visited.

4,463 Attend High School Music Fete
About 4,463 students from 74 high schools played and sang in the annual district music festival held April 6 and 7 in Hoch Auditorium and at Lawrence High School.
The number of students taking part in the activities was the largest in festival history, about 100 more than in 1955. The students who received top ratings will be eligible to compete Saturday, April 28, in the Emporia section of the state music festival.
The mixed choruses, bands, orchestras, instrumental and vocal soloists were judged on their technique, breathing, stage presence, memorization and the overall effect.

'Cosi Fan Tutte Dates Changed
"Cosi Fan Tutte," comic opera by Moztart, will be given on Monday, April 30, Wednesday, May 2, and Friday, May 4, instead of May 1-2 and 4 as originally scheduled.
Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts said that the change was made to avoid strain on the singers' voices.
"Many of the teachers felt that successive performances would be too strenuous on the singers, especially the principals," he said. "So we have decided to give them a rest between each performance."
