IKE & TINA TURNER formal- ly opened their Bolic Sound Re- cording studies in the Los An> geles (Calif.) suburb of Ingle wood recently, which is a far cry from the situation back in the Depression days of 1933, when the great Bessie Smith received a flat $50 for each side of records that are today’s collector’s i- tems. Art Shows Good The Department of Art put on an art show which was held the last of April. The exhibit was placed in the multi-purpose room of the Rosenthal for public view ing. Participating in the exhibit were Mr. Harvey Jenkins, who displayed pots and sculptures. Mr. Jenkins had 32 pots on ex hibit and each he said, “were different from the rest.” Mr. O.C. Willis worked with sculp, ture and designs. Mrs, Whaley Hunt, a new member of the de. partment, exhibited paintings, ceramics and sculptures. Also participating was Mr, Robert Al len of the Communicative Art De. partment. Mr. Jenkins said, “I hope that next year we will have another show, and I hope the entire fac ulty will participate." 5 Thespians Now hi Drama Society Durmg the first semester, five students in the Department of Drama were inducted into Al pha Psi Omega Dramatic Frat- ernity.

By BRENDA WATSON The Bronco family and public was delightfully entertained once again this year by the Drama Guild of Fayetteville State Uni- versity under the direction of Dr. Mel M. Slott. The first play presented this year was “The Amen Corner” by the Black Playwright James Baldwin. The second and most recent one was “B*hold, Cometh the Vanderkellans,” by a very modern playwright, William Wei. lington Mackie. It was a very beautiful production and was en joyable and meaningful as well. The cast consisted of Blenda Gay, representing the father of a Black bourgeoisie family; Re. gina Massenburg, the mother; Pat Funderburk, the only daughter; Abraham Greens, the younger of the two sons and William Pear son, the older son. The reality portrayed by the characters of the play was very intriguing. The play centered a- round the Vanderkellans, a family living on the status of their na- mes rather than on their indi. vidual characters and moral st- rengths. It further brought out the Idea that Black intellectuals have become apathetic toward the lower class Blacks once they have acquired status into the up. per middle class society. Each member of the so-called Black intellectual Vanderkellan family was guilty of this. Each member of the family needed a sense of direction and knowledge of their true selves. Later in the play, the realizationof self was brou^t out and the Vanderkellans were united in love. Many came to see the product ion and it was equally enjoyed by all who came. It is hoped that more plays, equally as rich and beautiful will be presented on our stage in the years to come. TEST YOURSELF 1.
