I would like to nominate Mr.
Tom Gardner to be Director of
Drama here at the University. In his
recent incident with Mr. Herring,
Mr. Gardner displayed his admirable
talents and qualifications for
this new position. First, he seems to
have a really unique ability to
create fiction - the lines he comes
up with for his characters, particularly
the villains, are brilliantly
original, not to mention dramatic.
Second, his little drama has a nice,
simple black and white conflict so
everyone is absolutely sure who is
right. Third, and perhaps most
important, he has a very sympathetic
press - witness the fact that
his letter to The Cavalier Daily was
500 words long and their limit is
300 words. Also, since The Cavalier
Daily critic who reviewed the
drama was not sympathetic enough,
Mr. Gardner proved that he is his
own best critic too. He's the only
producer I have ever heard of who
had that privilege. It must be nice
to interpret his drama for the
public, so they get it straight, as
well as producing it in the first
place. I think everyone can see
from these points that Mr. Gardner
really deserves to be the new
director.
