(According to director Paul
Crouch, New York theater-go-
ers were stunned by Arthur
Kopit’s tragifarce “Oh Dad,
Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You
in the Closet and I’m Feeling
So Sad.” It is not surprising.
It is also likely that those who
took the opportunity to see this
latest production by Stage and
Script were both amused and
moved by this example of “the
theater of the absurd.”
They were amused by the
humor which, at least as the
play reaches its climax, takes
on the quality of the macabre;
for, as is the case with all
genuine humor, the laughter is
followed by the shocked recog
nition that beneath the humor
there is perceptive and moving

seriousness.
That both the humor and the
seriousness came through in vir
tually perfect balance is a tri
bute to !Mr. Crouch’s sensitive
direction and to the polished per
formances of the members of
the cast. Such ba'ance is not
easy to achieve; without it, all
is lost.
As Madame Rosepettle, a cold,
hard, aloof widow who believes
that “Ufe is a lie” and that “the
world is waiting to devour
those who love,” Sandra Ed-
w'ards reveals a versatility in
character protrayal and a vocal
power and range that she has
not shown in earlier productions.
If such were not called for be
fore, it is now clear that she
has them when they are needed.
Her son Jonathan, played by
Chris Murphy, is the innocent,
naive, and helpless victim of
h i s mother’s own devouring
passion. In this role, Mur
phy also gives his finest per
formance to date. His halting,
inarticulate speech and his va
cant, frightened stare perfectly
suggest his desperate and in
escapable loneliness, provoking
both laughter and compassion.
A fine interpretation of a diffi
cult role.
As Rosa lie, Jonathan’s only
“human” contact with the world,
Linda Spatig makes her debut
as a member of Stage and
Script. And an auspicious debut
it is, indeed. Her natural and
disarming innocence, her grace
ful movements, and her charm
ing vocal inflections all com
bine to produce “‘the art that

Maynard, Wilson City manager,
in anticipation of further infor
mation on parking problems, ac
cess to campus buildings by fire
and emergency vehicles, and pos
sible traffic difficulties resulting
from the street closure.
The college has requested that
the city close Gold St. from
Deans St. to Whitehead Ave. and
Rountree St. from Woodard St.
to Gold St.
The college now owns proper
ty on both sides of the street
segments.
According to a proposed plan,
traffic could presently be routed
through Lee St. and the new
bypass. Maynard stated, how
ever, that a portion of the traf
fic would have to be routed
through a portion of Whitehead
-Ave. which is scheduled to be
paved this spring.
Maynard added that in his
opinion, action should be delayed
until Whitehead Ave. is paved.
Prior to the meeting, the col
lege’s request had been discus
sed briefly by the Wilson City
Commissioners, then turned over
to the Planning Board where it
nad been discussed at two pre
vious meetings.

The Executive Board meeting
of March 18 held an all-time
first for the organization, money
was returned to the Executive
Board Fund, The Student Center
Committee, formally the Bohunk
•Committee, has decided to use
the money from the pool table
to pay their expenses. It was
one of the first motions that the
Exec. Board did not argue
against.
Harrison
'Rick Harrison, chairman of the
Course-Teacher Evaluation Com
mittee, reported that the survey
would begin today with the
seniors.
This survey will give each
professor a chance to see him
self in the eyes of the student.
The forms will not in any way
ask for the name of the student
completing it. Harrison then an
nounced that the report would
be made known only to the in
dividual professors. This is due
partly to “the caliber of the
students.”
Challenged
Miss Kay Watson challenged
this statement in asking, “What
do you mean by the caliber of
the student?” ^bby Dunn ad
ded, “If the students are not
capable of doing it to the point
of not having the results made
public, why do it?” Dunn
placed a motion on the floor
that the report be made avail
able to all teachers, students,
administration, and Board of
Trustees members. The motion
was approved on the considera
tion that the names of individual
teachers not be made public.
Power
The Executive Board Cabinet
was given the power to set dates
for the elections of OC.A officers,
editors and business managers
for the Collegiate and Pine Knot,
and head cheerleader. It was
pointed out election of head
cheerleader should have been
held on the same ballot as the
SG,A officers according to the
constitution.
The meeting then adjourned
after a brief 40 minutes.

scheduled for March 26 has been
