Page 4 The Ridgeninner Monday, September 27 Democracy At Work ? “ANTIGONE” TO BE PRESENTED S G A REPORT by George Bryan The Student Government As sociation is diligently at work, performing its various tasks in line with student activities. The first meeting of the Executive Council was held on Wednesday, September 15, with Ed Harris, SGA president, presiding. With the completion of class elections, the Executive Council is now brought to full membership as defined in the new constitution. Since the student body has shown such interest in the several SGA commissions, a brief run down on the proceedings of each is in order. First of all, Bill Plyler, head of the Sports Commission, announces that the intramurals program is well under way with the purchase of its first official piece of equipment, a football. Regularly scheduled games will soon be under way. The Assemblies Committee (a joint faculty-student endeavor) reports the beginnings of a fine list of speakers and entertainers scheduled for the monthly all campus assemblies. The student activities fee has been turned over to the Fi nance Commission. Jim Day and the other members of this vital commission are hard at work try ing to formulate this term’s budget.

Since Freshman beanies have still not arrived, it is having a difficult time consoling our “dis- apponted” new students. Perhaps by the time this article goes to press, the beanies will have ar rived. The By-laws Commission, under the leadership of Sam Ship man, is to be congratulated for its excellent work on the revision of the Constitution and By - laws. Three new campus, organi zations have been recognized of- f i c i a 11 y by the Organizations Commission. They are: the Psy chology Club, the Baptist Student Union, and the Education Club. The latter has expressed interest in publishing a student directory for the college. Pleased with the results so far this fall, the SGA fully expects the student body to continue to answer their call for assistance in its future projects. FRESHMEN EXPRESS OPINION OF A-B There are obvious adjustments that all freshmen students on any campus must face. Suddenly, they find themselves confronting a complex situation which requires them to search for a balance be tween the greater amount of free doms offered them and the heav ier responsibilities which these freedoms incur. The student often finds himself “snowed-un- der” by more time-consuming and more difficult assignments and by a wider selection of extra curricular activities from which he may choose. The newspaper staff thought it might be interesting to inter view some of our own freshmen in order to get their impressions of college in general, but of Ashe- ville-Biltmore College in parti cular. The following statements were made as candidly as is pos sible by such self-conscious indi viduals: “Asheville-Biltmore is efficient ly run and the assignments are more difficult. A-B is organized well to develop our future lives.” “The subjects at A-B are or ganized well. Humanities, as a core subject, is good, but the pro fessors cover too much material at a rate too fast for some stu dents.” “The professors seem to be working for the benefit of all the students.” “We have more freedom at Asheville-Biltmore than we had in high school.” “I don’t like Asheville-Bilt more. Humanities takes up too much of my time.” “I don’t particularly like A-B. The college should have some dormitories. I don’t like the grad ing system, because it makes it very difficult to tranfer.” “There should be more enthus iasm about social events at Ashe ville-Biltmore. The students don’t participate enough in the extra curricular activities.” Sallie Straine: Sally is 19 and a graduate of Lee Edwards High School. She is a drama major and hopes to do graduate work in drama at Northwestern Univer sity. NOTICE An STUDENTS are reminded to keep a close check on stu dent mail boxes. Remember that all unclaimed mail com ing through the Federal Post al System is returned to the Post Office after a certain length of time. KAPPI PI PLANS ACTIVE YEAR Kappa Pi, the honorary art fraternity on campus, has elect ed its officers for 1965-66. Those elected are: Gail Thomas, presi dent; Liz Frumkin, vice-presi- dent; Mary Notestine, secretary- treasurer; Leigh Stevens, legisla tive representative; Paul Beck, historian; and Bettie Pritchard, social chairman. Gene Bunker will serve as Faculty Advisor for the fraternity. Kappa Pi’s busy schedule for this year includes three continu ous activities. Members will be in charge of hanging the monthly art show displayed in the library throughout the year. The fratern ity has also agreed to be respon sible for making posters for the SGA and for all the home basket ball games, as well as helping out with decorations for SGA dances held during the year. Their third activity is in connection with the Humanities sequence. Monthly art exhibits will be placed in the Student Center lobby, in hopes of adding deeper interest in the course. A current endeavor of Kappa P: will be the service of its mem bers as hosts and hostesses at a tea on Sunday, October 3, from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. The tea marks the opening of Mrs. Frances Wolfson’s art show. Intramurals Initiated by Bill Plyler, Sports Commissioner Another service has been added to the growing list offered to Asheville-Biltmore students by the SGA’. This school year will mark the beginning of an in tramural sports program. It will be under the supervision of the Sports Commission, headed by Bill Plyler. The program is divided into a men’s division and a women’s division, with co-ed sports to be added in the spring. The men will compete in football, volley ball, basketball, and tennis. The women’s events will include arch ery, ^ volleyball, basketball, and tennis. The men’s and women’s over all championships are expected to be sharply contested. The strength of the independent teams ensures that the teams from the various campus organi zations are going to find the going tough. In the tag football competition, one team_ to watch will be Ram sey’s Raiders. This is a team composed primarily of freshmen. The members are small, but fast. Other strong contenders are the Sigma Delta Upsilon team which boasts several former high school players; the Sigma Lamba Chi, which has several tall men; and a team led by the Earwood brothers, which can certainly be counted on to pull some surprise plays. We are expecting a banner year. The intramural program should be both exciting and re warding to participants and spectators alike. _ Resources over Billion Dollars On October 7, 8, 9, the College Theater will present Jean Ano uilh’s version of the classic Greek Tragedy, “Antigone.” Anouilh’s version was originally written to be presented in modern dress with modern dialogue and con temporary references. However, the College Theatre is going to deviate from the suggested form and have only the Chorus in the modern mode of evening clothes. The cast will be costumed in Greek dress and the set will be suggestive of the Greek setting. “Antigone” formed a trilogy with “Oedipus Rex,” (which the College Theatre presented in the Spring of 1964), and “Oedipus at Colonus” in the original Greek form of Sophocles. “Antigone” places the two characters Creon, brother-in-law of Oedipus and the daughter of Oedipus, Antigone in conflict, each representing, res pectively, man - made law and “divine” law. “Antigone” will be staged and directed by Claude Garren, Di rector of Drama. Costume design and execution is under the direc tion of Mrs. Lois Garren. Cast members are: Sally Straine as Antigone; Don Dalton as Creon; Dennis Lewter as Haemon; Joyce Hardin as Ismene; Nancy Ene- vold as the Nurse; Mella Dumont as Eurydice; Ralph Moss and Gary Parrott as the Chorus; Fred NOTICE The B.S.U. of Asheville-Biltmore College would like to invite all interested students to at tend their meetings beginning Friday, October 8, at 3:00 P.
