Stage And Script Plans Oscar Wilde Play In ’63 On Wednesday evening, Stage and Script held its first meeting of the new year, with plans being made for the productions it will present during the second semester. The campus dramatic group has outlined a most impressive and chal lenging program for that time, with three full-length and one bill of one- act plays being planned. The first production will be Oscar Wilde’s de lightful farce, "The Importance of Being Ernest,” which will be pre sented early in February, with a cast headed by James Barbour, George Farr and Ann Morgan, a newcomer to Stage and Script pro ductions. This will be followed by the Amer ican premiere of one of Europe’s most famous plays, “Queen Cristina,” by the world-famous Swe dish dramatist, August Strindberg. The play was originally produced in Berlin in 18%, but so far as is known, has never been produced in England Point System Revamped Quality points are now being com puted on a four point system at Atlantic Christian College as a result of faculty action taken on Sept. 5, 1962, according to Efr. Millard P. Burt, Dean of the College. Values have been assigned to each letter grade per semester hour as follows: A-4; B-3; C-2; D-1; F-0. A “C” average is represented by an overall quality point ratio be tween the sum of the quality points divided by the total semester hours of work taken. (The only exception is repeating work that was passed in order to improve the final grade.) This represents a true “C” average since it is based on all work attemp ted, not just the work passed. Students who have received a Srade of “F” on courses will find a slight reduction in their cumula tive averages. Realizing this im poses an unexpected handicap, the faculty approved ,the following modi fications to be in effect until June 1, 1964; 1- All records will be computed on ttie four point system beginning in the Fall semester of 1962. 2. Any student enrolled in the Fall of 1962 who, during the transitional period, subsequently incurs a deficit of more than 12 quality points will have his record computed on the three point system also, and will be placed on probation only if such pro bation shall have been in effect un der the three point system. 3. Any student enrolled in the Fall of 1962, who, during the transitional period, fails to remove probation by reducing his quality point deficit to 12 or less will have his record com puted on the three point system, and will be declared scholastically ineli gible only if such ineligibility shall have been in effect under the three point system. 4. Any student enrolled in the Fall of 1962 who, during the transitional period, completes all requirements for graduation but does not have a 2.0 average will have his record computed on the three point system and will be graduated if he has a 1.0 average under the three point system. . 5. Any s t u d e n t who is scholas tically ineligible and subsequently readmitted during the transitional period will come under the above provisions. or America. Shortly, thereafter, this will be followed by a bill of one-act plays, including “A Child’s Garden of Ver ses,” by the organization’s direc tor, Mr. Cecil Willis, which was originally done in December and is being revived at the request of some of the faculty and students. The sec ond play will be “Flyspray,” by Atlantic Christian College alumnus, James Howard, which was originally produced Off-Broadway, with the au thor and Jo Davison, Jr. featured in its three character cast. The fi nal play will be the college’s entry in the North Carolina Dramatic Fes tival competition to be held in Chapel Hill in early April.
