OFF THE CUFF UNION OPERA By Virginia Robertson 1p0 OFTEN, ideas and purposes become mired in the mud of tradition. - Too often, people become set in their ways and demand adherence to a project which has lost its original purpose and usefulness. Too often, traditions are re- garded with awe and wonder, as something great and untouchable. And so, when change occurs, a wail of protest usually arises from those who would place tradition in itself over its purpose. Something has recently been dropped from Michigan tradition. The tradition was one of having a lot of brave and awkward-look- ing males shave their legs, put on feminine skirts and voices, and get up on a stage to kick up their' heels for an audience of friends, relatives and acquaintances. Of course, such a spectacle can be humorous-for the first time you see it. But it's a humor of1 laughing at the participants, rather than with them or at their; jokes. People got tired of this kind of humor and their feelings were reflected in box office returns.- And thtis, Union officials, con-; cerned about the financial state+ of Union Opera, decided to dis- continue the tradition. Unlike the "clingers-to-traditions," they real- ized people were tired of the all- made burlesque type of produc- tion and decided to do something about it. A NEW all-campus coed show has been created and will give its premier performance next fall. The show itself is not related to the previous Union Opera, except that it is Union-sponsored. It is being called the "Union Coed Show", until a new and more spec- ific name is selected. Both men and women are serving on the planning committees and will be taking part in the production next fall. Already, greater interest than ever before, has been shown by, University men and women who would like to take part in the new show, according to General Chairman Don Medalle. As for whether the show will be successful in the financial tot- alings, one can only speculate until next fall, when the tickets sold are actually counted up. But it's in the books now. Union Opera has become a memory, along with all the other memories of the University's discarded tra- ditions, but that's as it should be when something loses its purpose.
