Houk Seeks Informed Voters
In a recent interview Dean
Margaret Houk said of the up
coming SGA elections, “I want to
see both quahfied candidates and
well informed voters.” She went
on to tell about the time a boy ran
for president of SGA and as it
turned out he didn’t even have the
grade point average necessary
for return the following year.
Luckily the boy didn’t win.
Ms. Houk said that one of the
biggest problems in the last few
years was to get the resident hall
by Debi Crane
officers tied into the legislature.
•‘To often the dorm represen
tatives didn’t even realize that
they were supposed to attend
SGA meetings,” said Dean Houk.
“The elections shouldn’t be
popularlity contests. The student
who is voting should ask himself
some questions. Is the person
that you are voting for for
president good at planning social
activities for the whole campus?
Are the people that you are
electing to be your Vice
“The Curious Savage
Selected As
Spring Production
Professor Sam Cope will direct
a cast of twelve in his spring
production, The Curious Savage,
a comedy by John Patrick.
Former Brevard student,
Debbie Deaton, will take the lead
role of Mrs. Savage. While at B.C.
Ms. Deaton had several major
roles in the drama departments
productions. She is now employed
byWLOS-TV.
The three Savage children,
j Belle, Titus, and Samuel
will be played by Katy Waters,
Gunter, and Steve Collins
‘"espectively.
The inmates of The Cloisters,
® asylum where the action
p place, will be acted by
Latimore, Mike
“alometh, Tempe White, Bobbie
and Jenny White. Jonathan
oung will play the part of
or Emmett and Clara Allen
will portray Miss Willie, the
asylum’s nurse.
The play tells the story of Mrs.
Savage’s committment to the
asylum by her children who feel
that she is no longer able to
handle her own affairs. Ms.
Waters plays the role of a rich
socialite who has been divorced
six times. Gunter’s character is a
senator who receives more
threatening telegrams than
anyone else on Capitol Hill, while
Collins plays the part of a judge
who has the somewhat dubious
distinction of having had more
decisions overturned than any
other judge.
The play promises to be a
bright interlude in the spring
semester. It will be presented in
the barn theatre April 5, 6, and 7
and is part of the Life and Culture
Series.
Presidents open minded and fair,
after all they will be serving on
the Judicial Board,” said Dean
Houk.
Ms. Houk said that there was
2.3 GPA requirements for the
Presidential and the Social and
Judicial Vice Presidents. There
is a 2.0 stipulation for the other
senators. She also said that the
dorm from which the student is
elected must be the dorm in
which the student lives next year.
All students are eligible to vote
in the election of the President,
the Social Vice President and the
Judicial V. P. Applications for
running for these positions are
available in Dean Houk’s office
and the deadline for application
is March 16.

Reid Gilbert, Mime
Soloist, To
Appear Tonight
By Scott Singletary
A solo program of illusion
pantomine will be presented by
Reid Gilbert, Artistic Director of
the Wisconsin Mime Theatre in
Dunham Auditorium on Tuesday,
February 27 at 8:15 p.m. The
performance is sponsored by the
Brevard Life and Culture Series.
Gilbert’s mime is presented in
white face on a set, made of one
box like bench. With the ex
ception of an umbrella, his only
instrument of communication is
his body. The program opens
with a brief demonstration and
mime techniques to be used
throughout the show.
Although he portrays many
types of characters, he gives
them one common link: they are
not easily disturbed or angered
by life’s setbacks. They are
puzzled, surprised, perhaps
mildly impatient with themselves
and their circumstances, but
never given to excesses of
emotion.
Though Gilbert’s work is
unique, he appears to include a
touch of the style of Charlie
Chaplin in his sketches. He
presents many types of
characters. At one point he is a
self conscious school boy giving
his “First Recitation,” at another
he is a bird in search of food.
In 1%9, Gilbert founded the
Valley Studio, home of the
Wisconsin Mime Theatre and the
Wisconsin School of Mime, where
he acts as administrator for the
International Mime and Pan-
tomimists, a service and com
munications organization.
Gilbert has had many valuable
experiences in the field of drama.
He has studied mime with
Etienne Decroux, Japanese Noh
Theatre with Sidayo Kita, and
modern dance with Charles
Weidman. Besides America,
Gilbert has taught in India on a
Fulbright grant, where he
researched his doctoral
dissertation on Asian drama.
Gilbert was the co-director of
the Festival of American Mime
and has performed coast to coast,
including Vice-President Mon-
dale’s home in Washington, D. C.,
Ravinia Festival and Wolftrap
Park.
