EVER IMAGINE a newspaper being so heavy you couldn't lift it? Back in 446 B. C. casualty lists were inscribed on large pieces of stone or marble, which were then raised upon a pillar so that the entire community could read them. Political news, finan-. cial documents, major decrees, foreign treaties, were likewise published in Life saving this way.

Students attending the "Ancient Greece Ever New" session, conducted by Dr. Donald Bra-deen of UC Classics Department, saw pictures of these epigraphs, the newspapers of their day. Many of the originals are in the museum at Athens, Greece, and Dr. Bradeen brought along "squeezes" made from them and which are sent around the world for study purposes. They are sheets of soft filter paper which are moistened and placed over the inscriptions, then pounded very, very hard, with a brush, until the paper picks up the letters.

Artifacts from the wilderness of Zin, found during expldrations in the Negev of Israel, were brought to the workshop by Mrs. Eleanor K. Vogel, archaeological assistant to Dr. Nelson Glueck. Steve Dundon, ninth grader at Wyoming High, said he particularly enjoyed listening to Dr.

Paul Murphy of Ohio University at Athens, read Latin aloud. Said Steve, "Somehow, it doesn't sound so complicated any more and it all seems easier!" INTEREST was high everywhere and enthusiasm marked. General thought spoken throughout the day was "I Just didn't expect it to be this interesting!" and "I didn't think this many would be here!" Overheard from a couple of participating professors talking with Dr. Mildred Smith, chairman of the department of Ancient Studies at Edgecliff, and general chairman for the entire workshop: "If this were industry, we could say we have a 'sleeper' product. Based on today's affair, the high school curriculum will have to be revised!" BY ROSELLEN GALTERIO Ancient Greece and Rome came alive on the Edgecliff College campus last Saturday as the Cincinnati Classics Club, the Association of Teachers of Classics, and the Senior Classical League sponsored the "Edgecliff Workshop of Classics and the Arts." Edgecliff was host to more than 820 students for the day-long program of sectional meetings, covering a wide selection of topics from "Biblical Archaeology" to "Forum Fashions." The aim was the intent to acquaint students with the study of Greek and Latin, and to point up the varied influence of those ancient civilizations on our modern world.

Members of the Junior Classical League at Fen-wick High, Middletown, presented a session entitled "A Project Is Born and Grows." Using paper sculpture, papier mache and balsa wood the students showed how to make a Greek Sphinx, Greek masks and a Roman family. An interesting angle was the paper-sculptured replicas of our U. S. Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial, related modern architecture to the architecture of ancient Greece. Still another project was a Roman catapult built from balsa wood.

Edgecliff Classics students presented a "Forum Fashion Show" during which they modeled the "chic look" in dress and personal ornaments, hair styles, make-up, and accessories of ancient Greece The young audience was extremely interested in items worn by a Roman bride, whose wedding dress, like that in modern times, m. seldom worn afain.
