Guilford College with the following
cast:

The Grand Duchess Barbara
Hagy
The play questions the justice
of killing for an ideal. A group
of terorrists in Moscow wrangle
with the problem of tyrannicide.
All are bent on killing the Grand
Duke in order that Russia may
someday be freed from all op
pression. How the end is to be
accomplished is the main prob
lem.
Yanek is first confronted by
limit to which the killing can be
carried. When the Duke is ac
companied by two children to
the theatre, Yanek fails to throw
the bomb, claiming that the sym
bol of tyranny only should die.
Stepan maintains the children
should not have been spared
since others are starving all over
Russia. Yanek's view prevails
and the group decides that in
discriminate killing might mis-
Kennedy: The Man and The Memory
The Man - J. F. K,
BY MIKE KING
A year has passed. American
Heritage is richer, and a mother
and her two children have faded
from view. To relive those four
days here would be too difficult,
too personal. Each of us should
do that for himself, careful not
to mire in sentimentality or
retch at the sight of Johnson
(despite the clown who concoct
ed "LBJ for the USA") com
pared to Kennedy. This would be
purposeless. I ask that each of us
remind himself of the man and
what he stood for.
Regardless of what people in
Mississippi think, President Ken
nedy was an American and had'
the best interests of the people
he represented in mind. He ac
cepted the challenge thrust upon
our generation and asked the
American people to join him in
solving its problems. The chal
lenge was often distasteful but
varied enough to electrify the
imagination of a nation tired of
a worn war hero. Kennedy was
the new generation. He faced
the world with a broad sense of;
history and doubtlessly meant
to make his mark on it.
The plight of people the world
over was a primary concern of
his. The Peace Corps and the
Alliance for Progress are two
examples of his attempts to meet
the problem of under-privileged
people head on. Civil rights, med
ical care for the aged, and space
exploration were the most con
troversial of his interests, but

represent and betray the ideals
of the revolution. Camus' irony
is poignant in light of the 1935
purges that removed the ideal
ists from the party.
In the end, Yanek is unable to
break his bond with humanity.
After killing the Duke, he al
lows himself to be captured, re
fuses pardon, and is hanged. This
is his justification to the ideals
of the revolution and the Rus
sian people for having killed.
The production on the whole
was effective in conveying the
tone and thought of Camus' play.
The sometimes wooden stage
movements of the cast are com
pletely over-shadowed by Ethe
lvn French's portrayal of Dora.

courage and sharp wit, he sought

Despite the other players, Miss
French carried the scene debat
ing human love versus ideal love
single-handedly and superbly. In
the last act, her anxiety concern
ing Yanek's death sends a shud
der through the audience. Chris
Browne plays Yanek capably,
and Bill Sternberg turns in an
other fine performance, confined
only by its brevity. Raiford
Bland handles the role of the
intense Stepan well but is
plagued at times by over-acting.
Joel Ostroff, Robert Sharpless,
and Barbara Hagy do well in
their minor roles. Newcomers
Craig Wiggins and Walter Paris
perform well in minor parts,
also.
The Memory - Nov. 22
BY HANK SIEGEL
The sun rose over the eastern
horizon one Friday morning and
greeted November 22, 1963.
In Topeka, Kansas a fourth
grade school teacher had pre
pared a lesson on the meaning
of Thanksgiving ... In New
York a houshwife was kissing
her husband good-bye as he pre
pared to go to work in downtown
Manhattan ... At a college in
Greensboro, North Carolina a
football team had just boarded a
chartered bus which would take
them up to Virginia for Satur
day's game . . . Somewhere in
South Carolina a young couple
was driving South for a Florida
honeymoon ... In Washington
Speaker of the House John Mc-
Cormack prepared for another
day at the hub of the govern
ment ... At the Los Angeles
office of United Press Interna
tional a 23 year old copy boy
stood by the teletype as it fever
ishly clicked out the news of the
day.
That morning the city of Fort
Worth, Texas woke up in ex
citement. The President of the
United States was in town. For
Clinton Hill, special Secret Serv
ice agent and Merriman Smith,
UPI White House Correspondent,
the day would start as an aver
age one.
The day dawned misty but
soon cleared into balmy autumn
weather. It would rain the next
day.

Student Legislature, M. S, C., W. S, C.
Take Action Towards Modernization
The Guilford College Student Legislature, in an effort to mora'
carefully control the allotment of Student Activity funds, has made
it known that they intend to more strictly enforce a Legislature
rule dealing with the Constitutions of campus organizations.
The rule states that all campus organizations wishing to receive
money from the Student Affairs Board should have a Constitution
Traffic Committee
The Traffic Committee of the
Student Legislature reports that
conditions on campus are im
proving, but all the problems
have not yet been solved. A
quick reminder of some of the
rules might prevent violations
and help cut unnecessary trou
ble and expense to a minimum.
If one is unable to attend the
next session of Traffic court fol
lowing a violation, he should
send a representative in his place
or notify a member of the com
mittee beforehand. If one follows
this procedure, the double fine
for absence will not be in effect.
When in doubt about legal
parking places, it would be wise
to check the college map, issued
by the Traffic Committee show
ing "no parking" zones. The
school will soon be putting up
some new signs to remind you
of these places.
It should be noted, also, that
all freshmen and persons on pro
bation are not allowed to main
tain or operate a car on campus
unless he has been given per
mission to do so by the Deans or
by the chairman of the Traffic
Committee.
The Committee asks that if
anyone has any questions or con
cerns, he should feel free to dis
cuss them with any member of
the Committee. They are inter
ested in keeping this campus a
safe one. By following the rules,
the students can greatly enhance
this goal. The members of the
Committee are Larry Bock, Bill
Wilder, Ralph Stephenson, Ron
Jamieson, Nancy Steele, Bill
Hurt, Donna Newman, Glen
Cook, Bob Hollister, Bill Joye,
and Wes Sexton.
Honor Board
The Honor Board reports that
it hopes to complete the study
of Guilford's Honor System be
gun last year with the question
naire answered by a high per
centage of our student body.
Last year's board heard 29 cases
involving 59 persons. The ver
dicts handed down were the fol
lowing: 14 guilty, 13 not guilty,
1 - insufficient evidence, and 1-
no case. These cases involved
dishonesty on tests and examina
tions, undue collaboration on
homework, and plagiarism. An
important factor in the cases is
that many of them were report
ed students.
The board tries to hear re
ported violations immediately.
It strives to protect all individ
uals involved by keeping all its
work confidential. The most suc
cessful year the board could
hope for would be one during
which it did not function, be
cause each student at Guilford
accepted the full responsibility
of honest work without excep
tion. It is possible that this could
be such a year?

which has been approved by the
Student Legislature. Bob Holli
ster of the Constitution Commit
tee has noted that if an organiza
tion wishes to receive money
from the Student Affairs Board,
it must be recognized as a valid
organization. This, of course,
means that it must have an ap
proved Constitution.
If any campus organization
wishes to receive money from
the Student Affairs Board for
next year it must present two
copies of the Constitution to Bob
Hollister before the budget for
next year is drawn up.
Gary York, the President of
the Men's Student Council, has
announced that his organization
is in the process of revising its
Constitution. It has been noted
that the present Constitution is
inadequate and unrealistic in
several clauses. Doug Schumann,
MSC Vice President, has prom
ised a number of significant
changes as a result of this year's
revision. These changes are be
ing planned by the MSC's Con
stitution Committee and will be
brought before the MSC within
the next few weeks for debate
and possible adoption.
Recently the MSC adopted a
number of regulations dealing
with campus conduct. Among
these regulations were the pro
hibition of cardigan sweaters at
dinner meals, the prohibition of
motorcycle riding on school
walks, the compulsory registra
tion of all refrigerators and tele
vision sets at Dean Atwell's of
fice, and participation in dorm
inspection and fire drills.
It is now considered a viola
tion of the MSC Code for any
male student to have two unsat
isfactories for room inspection
in one semester. Such a violation
will result in an appearance be
fore the MSC.
ioye's 66 Yd. Touchdown
Closes Great Career;
Quakers Top E & H r 7-0
BY HANK SIEGEL
Emory, Va., Nov. 21 Billy
Joye finally did what everyone
wanted him to do; he broke
away for a touchdown. He did it
at a time and in a manner rem
iniscent of the legendary Frank
Merriwell. This was the last
game of his college career.
In achieving his feat, Joye
scored the only touchdown of the
game and probably the most
gratifying touchdown of his col
lege career. His 66 yard gallop
enabled the Quakers to squeak
out a 7-0 decision over the
Wasps of Emory and Henry. It
brought our season record to
4-5, the best season that the Ma
roon and Gray have had in years
. . . and . . . years.
Joyce had always been con
sidered a hard luck runner in
college. There were many times,
this season alone, when he could
have broken away for touch-
