Bill Brantley, sopho
more day student, was e-
lected Chairman of the
group. The initial goal of
the group, he said, is to
investigate the possibil
ity of having an eleva

tral section of the Admin
istration building in order
to further increase the
mobility of disabled stu
dents, faculty, and mem
bers of the community.
Chairman Bill Brant

ther determine the di
rection of the organiza
tion, we hope that other
members of the student
body will help us to make
the second floor of the ad
ministration building
more accessible,”
A future function of the
group will be to reduce
other such architectural
barriers, both on campus
and in Rocky Mount.

Camerata
Bern
Reviewed
The Camerata Bern, a
string ensemble of twelve
musicians interpreted
music with power and
sensitivity as they open
ed the Rocky Mount Wes
leyan Performing Arts
Series.
To achieve total effect
the group combines many
talents. Accomplished
musicians, they demon
strated mastery of their
instruments by adding
further dimensions to the
versatility and scope of
the string ensemble.
Playing as a coordinated
unit, they maintained bal
ance and smoothness
throughout the perform
ance without the aid of a
conductor.
The young players work
to communicate their ap
preciation and enjoyment
of music to an audience.
In their Wesleyan appear
ance they presented many
moods and tempos. Slow
largos, bold somber
movements, and vibrant
gay passages were given
a living quality. Classi
cal music from the eigh
teenth and nineteenth cen
turies made up the body of
the performance. Includ
ed were works by Gemini-
ani, Boccherini, Mozart,
and Mendelssohn, A con
temporary change of pace
was provided by a mod
ern Swiss work by Paul
Muller,

nand Roten Galleries of

on Dec. 5 in the Wesley
an Student Union,
Prices ranged from $5
to $1000 with the majority
priced under $100. The
exhibition included over
1000 original etchings,
lithographs and woodcuts
by such artists as Picas
so, Chagall, Miro,Goya
Renoir, Baskin, Kollwitz
and many others. Also on
display were a collection
of outstanding Western
and Oriental manuscript
pages from works of the
13th-20th centuries.
Roten Galleries, re
turned to Wesleyan this
year after a very suc
cessful showing last fall,
expecting large turnout
of students and members
of the Rocky Mount com
munity.
Miss Royster
“Contemporary Dra
ma” was the topic of this
month’s program pre
sented by Miss Frances
Royster, director of the
Tank Theatre, to the A-
merican Association of
University Women.
Miss Royster stated
that the theatre and reli
gion were so closely re
lated in many ways, that
one couldn’t say which
made its way into civil
ization first. This is made
evident in Jean-PaulSar
tre’s NO EXIT.
People have always
liked to pretend or make-
believe, We also enjoy
watching others pretend.
To satisfy this need is
the purpose of the thea
tre. Plays today reflect
their society as they did
in the cave days. Many
changes have taken place
in the arts during the
twentieth century. One
theory, simply applied,
concerned itself with
one’s deed opposed to his
words - deeds being more
important (as presented
again in NO EXIT).
The relation of an au
dience to the play as it
happened was important
in determining its suc
cess. interaction with an
audience depended as
much or more on the
lights, make-up, scenery,
and environment placing,
rather than words.
Miss Royster con
cluded by discussing the
closeness of an audience
to the actors. This was
evidenced by the recent
success of the Tank Thea
tre’s “The Diary of Anne
Frank”.
