New Privileges Granted by
Women's Student Government
Jan. 7, 1964—New regulations
concerning dating privileges for L.C.
women students were passed by the
Women’s Student Government this
evening. These new rules are to go
into effect beginning second semester.
Dean Richardson had this comment
to make concerning the new hours
stipulated by the W.S.G.: “The Stu
dent Gov. was interested in giving
the extra privileges to the girls, feel
ing that they would not want to abuse
them. I don’t think they will. They
have done extremely well during the
past semester.”
The new regulations grant the fol
lowing additional half-hours:
Saturday night dating privileges for
freshmen have been changed from
11:00 to 11:30 P.M. Saturday night
dating privileges for sophomores have
been changed from 11:30 to 12:00
P.M. Sophomores have also been
granted a change from the 10:30
regulation on Sunday evenings. They
now are allowed until 11:00 P.M.

English literature.
Mrs. Watson, who is from Forest

Louisburg College alumna, as was
Miss Cora Beasley. This is the sec

special memorial book plate.
NEW BOOKS
Books are better than ever—in
Louisburg College Library, anyway,
as new books of interest and variety
are being purchased.
In particular, the number of books
on art is being increased. Outstand
ing among the new selections are the
McGraw Hill Encyclopedia of World
Art, Great Paintings from the Metro
politan Museum of Art, and Master
pieces of Painting from the National
Gallery of Art, edited by Huntington
Cairns and John Walker. The Ency
clopedia of World Art, consisting of
several volumes, has as its purpose
“to encompass our present knowl
edge of the arts within a single work.”
Contained within Great Paintings
from the Metropolitan Museum of
Art are books beginning with the
works of early Italian and Flemish
masters and extending to those of the
French Post-Impressionists. The
Masterpieces of Painting from the
National Gallery of Art illustrates
the history of painting from the thir
teenth century to modern times.
Of interest in the field of English
are To Hell with Culture by Herbert
Read, a collection of essays on cul
ture; How Does a Poem Mean? by
John Ciardi, a discussion of the value
and nature of poetry; and Josephine
Mills’ The Ways of the Poem, which
includes a great deal of poetry along
with a discussion of the ways and
means to the better understanding of
poetry as such.

Playwright's Work
Presented Soon
Franklin County audiences will
sample the work of a man acknowl
edged to be one of the world’s out
standing playwrights when the Louis
burg Players offer Jean Anouilh’s
Antigone on the college auditorium
stage, January 30-February 1.
Another of Anouilh’s plays. The
Rehearsal, has been on Broadway
this year; a film version of his play,
Beckett, has just been completed.
A skilled dramatist, Anouilh often
concentrated on the discrepancy be
tween what life is and what life should
be, a theme which most often lends
itself to comedy treatment. In Anti
gone he starts from the same theme,
but makes his claim that no power
on earth is free to do with men as
it wishes, and restricts his comic
writing to the characters of the
guards.
As a leading light of the phUosophy
of life called “existentialism,”
Anouilh believes that people become
free to be themselves when they reach
rock bottom without false hopes.
Anouilh’s Antigone attacked the
talents of Cedric Hardwicke and
Katherine Cornell for its Broadway
production. Miss Cornell saw the play
in Paris and arranged to bring it to
American audienccs.
John Mason Brown, drama critic
for the Saturday Review of Litera
ture, has said of the play; “It is the
kind of production Broadway aU too
rarely undertakes. Its dimensions are
noble, its intentions uncompromising.
From most of the midway exhibits of
our showshop, it stands out like an
edifice of marble in Shantytown. Be
cause it is built of marble, however,
do not think that it houses no fires
within, or that its great bronze doors
are shut. ... Its characters . . . are
as ageless as the Fates, as universal
as man’s dreams of freedom, as ever
lasting as is the abuse of power.
“When the curtain falls,” he says,
operators are “delighted to have had
the theatre function at such a pitch
and with such distinction.”
It is work such as this that has
gained Anouilh recognition as one
of the leading dramatists in today’s
world.

Thirty recent prints by North
Carolina artists can be viewed in the
Fine Arts Center through January 30.
The exhibition, titled “North Caro
lina Printmakers,” was assembled by
the North Carolina Museum of Art
and is touring galleries, museums,
and schools of North Carolina on
loan from the Museum.
The exhibition shows original work
by contemporary North Carolina
printmakers and points out the dif
ferent directions in which they are
working. Such representational prints
are Jon by Durham artist Earl Muel
ler and Discovery by George Bireline
of Raleigh. Impressionistic and pur
ist works are also represented.
Printmaking, or “graphic” art, has
been an occupation of most of the
great artists of the world since the
fifteenth century discovery of me
chanical ways to make impressions.
I Various media have been utilized to
I produce the prints with effects
achieved in black and white, single
color, and multi-color.
The oldest of the graphic media
is wood. Wood requires a relief-
printing technique in which some of
the wood is cut away and only the
areas to be printed are left standing
and inked. Other media identified
with the relief process are linoleum
and such newer materials as plastic.
Another method of printing is
called intaglio. This method required
the ink to be rubbed into a depressed
area or crevice and then the area sur
rounding to be polished clean.
Among the intaglio techniques are
etchings and engravings.
The Fine Arts center, located next
to the A-C Building, is open every
morning except Sunday from 10:00
to 1:00. Why not drop in and have
a look.
