NOVEMBER 1, 1963 PAGE THREE The Five Shortest Minutes Of The Day By TREVA The corridor is empty and quiet. Only the droning of a tescher’s voice breaks the mon otonous silence. The wind whistles around the corners of the old building. All else is still. Suddenly, the peaceful spell broken as the air is pierced with a shrill ring. Books slam shut, desks scrape the floor, and doors pop open. A huge wave of humanity spills out of class rooms and flows down the stairs, much as water streams over a fall. Pounding feet, com bined with the noise of two hundred voices sounding off at once, raises to a dull roar. Friend greets friend; girl smiles at boy. In one corner, two girls giggle about some sil ly thing that girls giggle about. Beside the water cooler, anoth er couple, surrounded by swarms of people, has a heated argument over something in significant. All will be forgiven in three minutes. MITCHELL There is a steady openii and closing of the doors ; young people stream in ai out. Cool drafts of air swee > - in. As suddenly as it all bega; it is all over. A beU peals some V - . ’ - ^ where within the confines c the hall, and the crowd pushe and surges this way and tha Students sort themselves int classrooms and tuck themselve neatly away. Doors close gentl, behind them. Five minutes have passec since the first peal of the bell The hall is again silent. Sun light streams through the doors and strikes the floor in odd patterns. The only signs of five minutes of chaos are a torn scrap of paper that flutters to the floor, and a solitary, for gotten student who drowses be neath a tree on the campus. The wind beats a tatoo about the old building. All else is quiet. * NEWS BRIEFS Approximately 20 members of the Westminster Fellowship vis ited the Presbyterian Home for Children at Black Mountain on Sunday, October 27. The group toured the dormitory and grounds, met the staff and chil dren, and served refreshments. “We feel that the trip was profitable,” stated Margaret Da vidson, the secretary, “for, in addition to thoroughly enjoying it, we discussed several possi ble projects for the year.” ITS SO EASY when the autumn sun is waiTn and all is quiet. At least it was for Robert Ferry. WL’> JlfraiJ Of Vi, ir^Lnici WoJf The M.S.F. started their year off, recreationwise, with a re treat to the cabin of adviser, Mr. Miles.

Jane Martin and Dona Vaughn represent the Student Government Association^ By ROBIN MAY One of the most recent suc cesses on the stage has been the masterpiece of a young man named Edward Albee. WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGIN IA WOOLF? is a play that may be classed with the best of Ten nessee Williams or Lillian Heil man. It is Albee’s compassion ate exploration into the com plexities of marital interdepen dence. It is a savagely humor ous, but horribly sad, study of a man and wife who need each other to destroy each other. The plot of WHO’S AFRAID is indescribable. In fact, there is no plot. It is merely a frus-i trated journey. The couple’s common frustrations, which spurred the beginning of the journey, make the hope and heroism of an ordinary plot im possible. George, a college history pro fessor, and his wife Martha, a woman of a spirit and intelli gence that have long since been destroyer* by drink — are a middle - aged couple existing hopelessly under the burden of inescapable childlessness. In one shocking, detestable eve ning, picked from a never end ing chain of scourging days and nights, the contempt shown for woman in the bombardment of hate is only slightly greater than the contempt for man. The end of their journey is finally reached in a jolting halt when Martha is freed from her delusions of ideal motherhood. The underlying theme of their frustrations is sex. But in WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? Albee is not preoccu pied with sexuality. In the bit ter exchange of taunts, he dis plays the truth of the human condition. In the words of crit ic Marya Mannes, “Somewhere in all this carnage there is love. Or if not love, then its close cousin, need.” Please Meet Mr. Henderson (Continued from Page Two) Brevard Jewelers Opposite Court House Corner Main and Broad COMPLIMENTS OF AUSTIN STUDIO Your Photo and Record Center of the Dunn’s Rock Masonic Lodge, and is now serving his twenty-ninth year as secretary.
