After a successful tour of the East Coast last year, the "Dartmouth on the Road" show will travel to upstate New York and the Midwest during spring vacation 1970. Playing to alumni groups and prospective freshmen, the student show will portray the various activities of undergraduates that make up the Dartmouth experience. Highlighted during the two-hour presentation will be the foreign-study program, the Outing Club, Hopkins Center, DCAC, radio station WDCR, and Engineering Science 21, the Thayer School course in which students design useful products. A special feature of this year's show is "A Day in the Life of a Dartmouth Coed." And as an added attraction, the stars of last year's Road Show, the Dartmouth Five Dixieland Band, will appear throughout the production.
George Kalbouss, Assistant Professor of Russian, will be the master of ceremonies and with the help of slides will describe some aspects of the liberal arts education at Dartmouth not dramatized by the student performers. Two seniors are overseeing the entire production: Joel Feldman of West Hartford, Conn., chief technician, and Stephen Nelmes of East Longmeadow, Mass., a member of the Dartmouth Five.
Advance performances of the 1970 Road Show will take place on Friday, February 27, in Springfield, Mass., and on Saturday, February 28, in West- chester County, N.Y. The spring-vacation itinerary for the show includes appearances in the following cities: Albany, N.Y., Friday, March 20; Rochester, N.Y., Saturday, March 21; Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday, March 22; Cincinnati, Ohio, Monday, March 23; Wabash College-Crawfordsville, Ill., Tuesday, March 24; St. Louis, Mo., Wednesday, March 25; Chicago, Ill., Thursday, March 26; Detroit, Mich., Saturday, March 28; and Buffalo, N.Y., Sunday, March 29.
