Homecoming Begins
With Friday Concert
Last year, due to a ruhng by
the City Council, ACC was
denied a permit to hold the
annual Homecoming parade.
Because there was no parade,
most people felt that Home
coming was in general a flop.
The Homecoming parade is back
this year, along with some new
innovations designed to add
spirit to Homecoming.
Homecoming will be officially
kicked off Friday night with a
concert by the Delfonics and the
Intrigues. Saturday morning at
10:00 a.m. the parade will take
™ place. This year the theme of the
] parade is “From Mayflower to
), Apollo.” As usual the parade will
p have bands and floats. There
tij will be trophy competition
[,(between classes, sororities, and
' franternities for the best float,
ei The following topics for the
ail floats have been chosen.
The Freshman Class will
^represent Indians. The float,
according to Freshman Class
President, Steve Bassett, will be
i"an authentic reproduction of
■p'the Cherokee Indians.” The next
istage of history, the Landing of
mCn'umbus, will be handled by the
Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority.
"The Delta Zeta sorority will
present the American
Revolution, followed by the
I Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
I and the Westward Movement.
The Phi Mu sorority will prepare
afloat of the Civil War. The Jazz
Age, by the Junior Class, will
preceed the Delta Sigma Phi
float of Prohibition. World War
II will be depicted by the Sigma
Pi fraternity, followed by the
Sophomore Class’ Musical
Trends of the 50s - 60s.
The Alpha Sigma Phi
fraternity will take on the more
modern air of Hippies. Space
will occupy the efforts of the
Senior Class. The final float will
logically be the Future, which
will be handled by the Day
Students.
In addition to the parade,
activities are to be held in center
campus from two until four. The
"Huckleberry Mudflats” will
provide continuous music
throughout the afternoon. A
three hole Putt Putt, horseshoes

Dr. Thomas McCollough was
the featured speaker at Tues
days convocation. Dr. Mc
Collough is a professor of Ethics
at Duke University and is the
author of a number of books
dealing with the field of
Theology including his well
known book. Religion in Life.
Dr. McCollough’s lecture
centered around the subject of
the current crisis in ethics in
volving todays society, stressing
-he ethical decay of today’s

proval from the board.
The motion as passed by the
board states that the “illegal use
or possession of dangerous
drugs, barbituates, and nar
cotics be prohibited on the
campus, and the use or poses-
sion of these narcotics may
result in immediate expulsion
from this institution.”
Finch pointed out that the use
of these items is becoming more
extensive and that it is even
found around the local high
schools. He continued that the
use of illegal drugs has not been
brought on campus but that
there are students involved. Jim
Abbott noted that there is a
“growing concern by ad
ministrators” and felt that the
students should take the
initiative to come out against
complacency toward the
problem.
As the motion passed, SGA
president Joe Wilkins noted that
it would necssarily go through
various channels. Dean White
hurst felt there would be no
opposition higher, up,
In other business Harold
Herring moved “that there be a
committee formed on student
rights” and listed five students
recommended earlier in the
presidential report. They were
Joyce Copeland, Jim Abbott,
David Finch, Doug Brinson, and
Ricky Stewart. The SGA
president and vice president will

“She Loves Me”Ends 3-Day Run

TALK Page 4
By WILLIAM M. McGILL
For the first time in this
reviewer’s memory, would-be
theater-goers were turned away
as a capacity audience
responded enthusiastically to
Stage and Script’s first
production of the season, a
delightful presentation of the
musical “She Loves Me.” Based
on the play “The Little Shop
Around the Corner,” the music
and lyrics were written by the
same team who wrote
“Fiorello” and “Fiddler on the
Roof,” still on Broadway after
SIX years.
Although the principals both
sang and acted creditably, on
the whole the acting was better
than the singing. It is un
fortunate however, that more
music students did not take
advantage of the opportunity to
be a part of an experience that
would complement rather than
interfere with their more
traditional or formal musical
training. Indeed, they should be
encouraged to do so.
It is impossible to mention
individually every member of
the large cast, but certain
performers deserve particular
notice. Leading roles were
played by David Harrison and
Cordelia Lewis, who wiU be
remembered for her sparkling
performance in last year’s
production of “The Fan-
tasticks.” Mr. Harrison’s in
terpretation of his role was
consistently adequate, and at
times engaging; but he was
vocally weak, especially in the
title song. He improved both
dramatically and vocally,
however, in the course of the
performance. Miss Lewis both
sang and acted quite well. In
fact, the warmth and youthful
sincerity called for by her role
came across the footlights
strongly and naturally.
Secondary leads were played
by Carmen Haddock and Greg
Albert. Worldly and yet
Deadlines Given
For ’70 Annual
The Pine Knot needs dates for
pictures of clubs and
organizations wishing to appear
in the annual. Presidents are
urged to see Lee Martin before
Nov. 14 to set a date for their
organizations.
Annual editor, Lee Martin, has
set Friday, Nov. 7, as the
deadline for all senior statistics
for the 1970 Pine Knot.
somewhat naive. Miss Had
dock’s purposely strident voice
was well suited to her character.
The outstanding performance of
the evening was given by Mr.
Albert, whose mobile and
marvelously expressive face
was at once subtle and comic,
revealing genuine insight
concerning his role and
dramatic confidence in its
execution.
Ross Albert once again
demonstrated solid dramatic-
comic talent. Robert Duke, in his
first appearance on the local
stage, was especially well cast;
and Tommy Griffin, a Fike High
School student, was also quite
good. It is to be hoped that both
Mr. Duke and Mr. Griffin will be
seen in future productions of
Stage and Script.
The set was imaginatively
designed, both in appearance
and function. The dances,
choreographed by Mrs. Jean
Harris, were lively and
amusing. The orchestra,
directed by Larry James, choral
director at Fike High School,
was an outstanding feature of
the show, not only in playing the
music well, but also in com-
ce
plementing and supporting the
singers so that timing and
movement between actors and
orchestra was smooth and
pleasing. The combination of
instruments blended well, and
the orchestral volume was
especially good in relation to the
singers.
There is some question
whether essentially amateur
actors and singers should at
tempt mildly sophisiticated
comedy, particularly if
predomoniately Eastern North
Carohna speech is expected to
give the illusion of a European
setting. Even with this reser
vation, however, “She Loves
Me” is a delightful show, and the
actors and crew of Stage and
Script, ably directed by Paul H.
Crouch, has once again provided
college and community with an
entertaining experience in
musical comedy.
Those unable to attend the
opening night performance
should certainly make every
effort to see this fine production,
to be given both Friday and
Saturday nights at Howard
Chapel. Curtain time is 8:15
o’clock.
members of the committee
whose job it will be to draft a
declaration of student rights.
Wilkins felt such a declaration to
be "imperative to the student.”
Joe Harwood moved to ap
propriate funds for two
delegates to be sent to a con
vention of Associated Student
Governments in Atlanta,
Georgia. In his president’s
report Wilkins observed that the
Atlantic Christian student
government is not now affiliated
with any national student
organization. He expressed the
feeling that the convention
would be a learing experience
from which the student leaders
could profit greatly. The
delegates should be able to
evaluate the validity of the
organization and either
recommend or discourage of
ficial affiliation.
The board also approved an
official photograph of itself, and
Wilkins appointed Campus
Christian Association president
Robert Thompson as chaplain of
the student body expressing the
hope that this function would
continue to fall to the CCA
president.
Members of the Faculty Woman’s Club are seen here serving
guests at the opening night reception of the musical comedy
“She Loves Me.”
Fate^ Love

Under the direction of Dr.
James Cobb the College Chorus
and Percussion Ensemble
presented Carl Orff’s com
position Carmina Burana' in
Howard Chapel Tuesday,
November 4. The chorus and
percussionists were joined by
Miss Dorothy Jane Bostick and
Miss Margaret Prizer, duo-
pianists. The presentation was
enhanced by the voices of
soloists Mrs. Barbara Cobb,
soprano; Mr. Willard Griffin,
tenor; Mrs. Paul Crouch,
baritone; and Mr. Ross Albert,
bass.
Orff describes his composition
as “Cantiones Profanae” or
profane songs. He bases his
score on anonymous poems
from the thirteenth century.
These poems were the traveling
songs of vagabonds and min
strels. They are written in
medieval Latin, German, and
French. According to Dr. Cobb,
many of the lyrics are too ob
scene to translate in print.
It was to these poems that Orff
put his music in 1936. He puts in
logical system the various ideals
of hedonism and Epicureanism.
The prologue bemoans the
fortune of man and his fate.
Fortune is variable and runs in
cycles but is also overpowering.
The wheel of fortune turns, and
yesterday’s joys are tomorrow’s
sorrows.
The first part becomes more
joyful in dealing with springtime
and its joys. Spring’s harbingers
arrive forcing winter to recede.
The season with a new sunshine
awakens the senses and turns
hearts to love. Cupid provides
pleasure for those who will
accept it. The countryside comes
out in flowers; young girls
enhance their own appearances.
The mood of part one is well
summed up in the tenth poem:
Were the world all mine
From the sea to the Rhine
I should gladly forsake it
For the Queen of England
in my arms.
Part two praises the joys of
