PAGE EIGHT , THE CAMPUS ECHO WEDNESDAY, DECEMB^, 18, 1957 Tale, Towe, Lumpkin Star In 'Mary 01 Scotland’ THE RAZOR'S EDGE By Elnora Joyner What is a leader? A leader is one who is chosen by a majority of the members of a group to guide and to represent them. This person should have certain biases and prejudices, and these should always be evident when he is presiding over a meeting which involves the discussion of a controversial issue. Nothing, not even parliamentary proce dures should stop the leader from making sure that his biases control the opinions of the ma jority. The main concern of the lead er is that his decisions are ac cepted whether or not these de cisions are for the benefit of the entire group. If, however, the decisions of the leader are not accepted by the group, in which case there may be other members of the group who are able to ex ert more influence than the leader, he then must abide by the age old rule: learn to disagree without being “agreeable”. When such a leader has been thwarted in his purpose, his on- . ly alternative is to band together his minority group and refuse to support the program which the majority has passed against his wishes You may say that this does not represent the qualities of a true leader, but if you will look a- round, you will find that that is the type of leader that many groups are allowing to represent them» -MERRY CHRISTMAS- STUDENTS, ALUMNI, FRIENDS AND FACULTY THOMPSON’S ESSO SERVICENTER 2243 FAYETTEVILLE STREET (KENNETH THOMPSON, Owner) N.

It’s been said that the atofnic submarine _ “Nautilus” stays submerged so long that it only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist. Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken valuable space aboard the “Nautilus” for the only soft-drink vending machine in the entire submarine fleet. Naturally (or you wouldn’t hear about it from us) it’s a Coca-Cola machine. And not unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite respectable. Rugged lot, those submariners. Great drink, Coke! SIGN OF GOOD TASTE To its list of high calibre pro ductions, the North Carolina College Thespians added a mag nificent production of Maxwell Anderson’s Mary of Scotland on December 5th as the 1957-58 season opener. A drama in three acts, the play moved along with a con sistency of mood which held the! audience’s attention throughout SSPA Gains Memberships Some thirty-five high schools in North Carolina and Virginia have been registered as charter members of Southeastern Scho- 9lastic Publications Association, it was revealed here recently. SSPA is an organization open to high schools in this area which publish (or plan to publish) newspapers and/or yearbooks. Established at North Carolina College last June, the organi zation is designed to encourage more and better high school pub lications and the increase of fel lowship among students and teachers engaged in publications endeavors. Mrs. B. J. Tillxaan, president of SSPA, made the announce ment concerning charter mem bers this week. Mrs. Tillman, who is co-sponsor of The Panther, Person County High School newspaper, said charter mem bers are “those schools which joined SSPA during the first phases of its membership cam paign in October and Novem ber.” The membership campaign is still in progress, Mrs. Tillman continued, and high schools which send in their $5.00 fefe will qualify for full membership privileges. These privileges in clude subscription to the SSPA publication. Presstime, entitle ment to wear the SSPA badge, and to attend the convention in the Spring of 1958, and participa tion in the several activities of the organization.

The stage set was simple and adapted itself to the play without competing with the performers for the au dience’s attention. Barbara Limipkin, in the title role, captivated her audience with her very real portrayal of the queen who fought for happi ness, which was not hers to have. Barbara, who has already proved herself to the NCC com- mimity as an actress who re fuses to satisfy herseK with mediocrity, provided by her facial expressions, her move ments, and the excellent deliver ance of her lines, the mood of pathos which her role required. As Elizabeth, the “Virgin” queen, Miriam Towe made hef theatrical debut. There waS nothing in Miss Towe’s perfor mance to betray her neophytism. Her erect posture, with a slight hint of masculinity, was indica tive of the strength and arro gance which historians have at tributed to Queen Elizabeth, the queen who put reason beforei passion. Grady Tate as Lord Bothwell gave another one of his excel lent performances. His unfalter ing loyalty to Queen Mary, which was the basis of all his actions, and his refusal to allow any obstacle to undermine his loy alty were projected into the role by his stride, and authoritarian air. The play was backed by a fine supporting cast. Charles Lockhart, Cary Booker, Richard Harris, 'Theodore Gilliam, Ed ward Chapman, Kenneth Mur phy, Cleveland Strickland, and Claude Glenn were well cast, afid each did his role creditably. Gerald Simmons was a very vigorous and fiery John Knox. Beverly Wright, Jay Elliott, Essie Gamer, Verdell Tedder were impressive as ladies-in-waiting to Queen Mary. The final scene of the play is the one which will im- doubtedly remain most indelibly in the minds of the spectators. This scene was a study in con trasts. On the one han# there was Mary, who retained her dignity even in defeat, who “loved as a woman loves and lost as a wo man loses.” On the other hand there was Elizabeth, who still labored imder the illusion that of the two, hers was the greater victory. DID YOU KNOW By ANNA JOYCE NEWKIRK ”Did you know that two years ago President Elder established on this campus a committee on Education for Personal and Fam ily Living composed of students, teachers, and administrators? The general objective of this committee is to help all members of the college community to have a full and well-roimded experi ence by counseling together and promoting desired and worth while activities. The committee recognized that after graduation, students will enter upon three major roles for which college life and training ought to be a prelude—^workers in some profession or business, adults and/or responsible fam ily members, and members and/or leaders of commimities. Since the academic program is organized and geared to give maximum assistance in prepara tion for occupational roles, the CEPFL is directing its attention specially to preparation for adult family and responsible commun ity roles. To do this job, a variety of plans and projects have been in itiated. Informal exploration and discussion of practical issues and problems in human relations are encouraged and stimulated. More informal relations between faculty members and students outside the classroom are en- cotiraged. Reliable materials on personal relations are being made avail able to all members of the col lege community with the hope that they will be read and dis cussed. Teachers are asked to make personal and family prob lems important topics when class assignments permit their con sideration. Finally, inquiries are being made to ascertain what other'colleges are doing to meet problems pertaining to adult family and commimity adjust ments. The operations of such a com mittee can be an asset to oiu: col lege experience, because of its informal but direct approach to controversial issues. Now that you know that such a committee exists for you, you are encouraged, in fact, expect ed to participate in informal ex ploration and discussion of prac tical problems in human rela tions. The CEPFL, headed by Dr. J. S. Himes is composed of the fol lowing members: Miss Betty Newman, Mr. Melvin Woodbum, Mr. Charles Anderson, Miss Ann Joyce Newkirk, Mr. F. D. Rus sell, Dr. H. E. Wright, Dr. Sing- Nan Fen, Dean Louise Latham, Mr. L. C. McCollxmi, Dean J. L. Stewart, and Dr. Weatherford.
