brief discussion a formal motion
was called to enforce dead week
from 12 a.m. S'jnday to 12 p.m.
Saturday. This motion passed by
a 2 vote majority. Hence, by Exe
cutive Board rule, strict enforce
ment of dead week regulations per
taining to all “organized” meet
ings will remain in force.
According to current interpreta
tions, dead week is defined as a
time during which there will be no
“organized” activity meetings.
This week of restricted activity is
not specifically designated for test
preparation, but merely as a
•‘catch-up” period in all phases of
college work.
The president of the board ap
pointed a committee to specifically
study dead week and to determine
if it should be incorporated into
the constitution under Executive
Board jurisdiction.

Hartsock^ Holsworth View
Premiere Of Burmese Play
Dr. Mildred Hartsock, chairman
of the department of English, and
Mrs. Doris Holsworth, professor of
English, recently were specially in
vited guests at a national pre
miere of ' a new play.
“The Wages of Sin,” a political
play by U Nu, Prime Minister of
Burma, was presented at East
Carolina (Ibllege by the College
Playhouse, student drama club. U
On Sein, Burmese Ambassador to
the United States, and other di
plomatic people of note from Wash
ington were in the audience. So
were some Burmese students at
tending universities in this coun
try.
. East Carolina College scored an
important dramatic first for the
United States by getting rights to
present this American premiere of
Prime Mini.ster TT Nu’s new play.
Minister U Nu’s new pla^
3 was made possible through
initiative of Dr. Joseph Withey
of the East Carolina faculty. He
was attached to the University of
Mandalay in Burma last year as a
Fulbright research scholar in thea
tre arts. While there, he sought
permission for the coUege in Green
ville to stage a production of the
Prime Minster’s new play. ^
This is Prime Minister U Nu s
second drama. Shortly after World
War II, he wrote “The People Wm
Through.” It was subsequently pre
miered in this country at the Pasa
dena Playhouse in California.
Both dramas have a similar
theme — the means necessary to
avert Communism. ■ , .
Mrs. Holsworth expressed that
the play was most enjoyable in
mLy aspects. Of particular mter-
est a^s a very colorf^ element were
the costumes of
on the stage and the Burmese
members of the audience.
'THE JOURNEYMEN—A highlight of the forthcoming Greek
Week will be a concert given by the Journeymen. 'The group,
accomplished musicians before they united, specializes in folk
music like that made popular by the Kingston Trio. Their ap
pearance is part of four days of festivities sponsored by the In-
tcrfraternity Council.

The thirteenth annual convention
of the Southeastern Theatre Con
ference is currently in session at
J. Bowers Enters
Forensic Contest
Jerry Bowers, a first-year stu
dent from Morehead City, attended
the South Atlantic Forensic Tourn
ament at Lenoir Rhyne College last
week.
Representing the college in gen
eral and the speech and drama
field in particular, Mr. Bowers
participate in this three day
speech and debate tournament.
His entry was in the speech di
vision of the tournament. He; de-
liverd an extemporaneous speech
and an after-dinner talk and partic
ipated in the radio broadcasting
phase.
Mr. Bowers was particularly in
terested in the radio broadcasting
phase. He is an announcer for AC’s
own WACR and is an active mem
ber of the Radio Club. Last fall, he
was an announcer on WLLY in
Wilson. The art of radio broadcast
ing is no new field to Mr. Bow
ers. Bsfore coming to AC and Wil
son, he was employed by WMBL in
his home town of Morehead City
and by WBMA in Beaufort, N. C.
He has been active in this field
since the days of his eight grade
in school.
Drawings were held for subjects
for the extemporary speeches. Mr.
Bowers drew the subject “Com
munism in Cuba.” The drawings
were held in the afternoon, and
evening.
This twenty-ninth annual foren
sic tournament was held on March
8, 9 and 10. In addition to At
lantic Christian’s representative,
there were debate teams and dele
gates from many other colleges
and universities, including Wake
Forest, United States Naval Acade
my, Duke, Davidson and others.
Although it was actually a side
light of the specific purpose of
the tournament, Mr. Bowers feels
as though becoming acquainted
with delegates from these other
institutions and sharing collegiate
ideas with them was a very bene
ficial aspect of the over-all ex
perience of the event.
