Athens upon present-day Western civilization is the Subject of a five-part humanities series that begins on Tuesday, March 1 at Col lege of The Albemarle. “The Greek Moment” is a segment (rs “The Measure of Man; Humane Values in Western Civilization” pro grams developed by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the N.C. Humanities Committee. This is the second year that the multiple-seminar series has been conducted on the COA 6am pus. The coordinator for this year’s lectures, which are open to the public, is Jerome Hhees, COA assistant pro fessor of history. “Remarkable as it seems,” Rhees said, “about 2,500 years ago in Athens, a city half the size of Charlotte, a spectacular culture evolved, flourished, and created vir tually all the important tradi tions of Western civilization.” | All of the programs are scheduled at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday in the COA lecture auditorium through March 29. Rhees said the five lecturers who were selected to par ticipate in “The Greek Mo ment” series were chosen for Hancock To Introduce Senate Resolution Lt. Gov. James C. Green has announced that he had re quested Sen. Gerry Hancock of Durham to introduce a Senate Resolution calling for a study by the Governmental Operations Commission of the feasibility of limiting the length of legislative sessioins. “Jie are asking the Govern ment Operations Commission to look into a number of facets ■of the legislative process, imost notably, the limiting of [legislative sessions,” Green said. “Hie trend toward pro fessional legislators in this State has become disturbing to many people, and shorter sessions would go a long way toward reversing this trend,” Padded “-PThe other branches of government are being called on to limit their budgets, and I see no reason why the Film "Prophesy” To Be Shown On Wednesday, March 2nd at 7:30 P.M. at Shepard- Pruden Memorial Library on Water Street in Edenton, a newlv released film, “Pro phesy” (1983), will be shown, free to the public.

The first lecture, “The Forms of the City,” will be presented on March l by Dr. Charles E. Scillia, assistant professor of art at Old Domi nion University. He will at tempt to give his audience an ' insight into the feeling of the vitality of Athenian daily life as it was nurtured by and reflected in the forms of the city’s monuments and buildings. “Democracy’s Birth: The Citizen” will be featured in the second seminar on March . 8. Dr. John Douglas Minyard, classics professor at UNC-G, will examine the Athenian tenet that man finds his deepest meaning only within society, comparing that belief with subsequent 18th century and modern ideas. During the March 15 seg ment, “Socrates and the Sophists: A Question of Truth,” Dr. Eugene Purcell, associate professor of philosophy at Atlantic Chris tian College, discusses the concerns of the “right” living of Greek experience. He will provide a comparison of the teachings of the Sophists, who offered pragmatic advice, to General Assembly should not examine its budget. It costs the taxpayers approximately $24,000 each day that the legislators are in Raleigh, and, judging by the ex perience of our sister states, we could conclude our business in considerably less time than we have been con suming. Virginia, for in stance, limits regular ses siqps to 60 days and none has been extended in the decade since adoption of the law,” Green said. He further stated, “I do not see the necessity for 1400 new laws every two years as we have done in every ses sion since 1977.” The resolution proposes* > that regular sessions of the General Assembly be limited to 60 days and extra sessions be limited to 20 davs. It is sponsored through Physicians for Social Respon sibility, a nonprofit group of doctors working to improve the international public’s understanding of the meaning of nuclear war.

The following week, on March 22, Dr. Charles O. Burgess, assistant professor of English at ODU, shows his audience the dramatic forms that evolved from the annual Dionysian festivals and per formances of dance and choral poetry. “The Muse’s Prompting: The Birth of Tragedy,” emphasizes the power of the Greek tragedy that reigned unequalled for 2,000 years until the ap pearance of Shakespeare's works. The final seminar, “The Love of Wisdom: Plato and Aristotle,” will complete the series. Dr. Larry Hatab, assistant professor of philosophy at ODU, will discuss the work of the two philosophers that has endured through the ages. * v Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: It has been brought to the attention of the Greenville Ci ty Council by Mr. W. C. Cobb, who is President of the North Carolina-South Carolina Association of Railroad Passengers that the Carolina Association of Passenger Train Advocates known as “CAPTA” are working with the major goal to improve and increase rail passenger ser vice within the two Carolinas. We are informed that CAP TA has been organized with some 70 members and accor ding to news releases, the Department of Transporta tion reveals that AMTRAK in North Carolina has jointly agreed to run a test train from Raleigh to Charlotte. Since the test run has been announc ed, we feel that the Greenville City Council would be justified to support CAPTA in requesting that the train begin in Greenville or ; Wasbingtctfpnd go U> RalejgA. and Charlotte. ‘ It is our understanding that whether Greenville receives this service or not, our citizens will still have to help pay for this since Federal Law 403-B is an AMTRAK law that authorizes AMTRAK to finance the train if the State makes it purchase so this train will be known as the 4-0-B Train. Therefore, the Greenville City Council would like to of fer its endorsement and sup port to CAPTA in an effort for AMTRAK to begin in Green ville or Washington and to to Raleigh and to Charlotte, which will be at no cost to the City of Greenville. We further encourage your support and membership to join in this combined effort to obtaining this additional mode of transportation through our cities and in our State. Sincerely. Percy R. Cox Mayor The James Report by Rep. Vernon James I am chairman of the Agriculture and Rural Development Committee of the Southern Legislative Con ference which is comprised of legislators from southeastern United States. There was a special meeting held last Fri day in Atlanta to discuss ways of controlling fire ants. This is a very serious matter in most southern states and par ticularly in the coastal states. Approximately 50-million acres in the South are infested by imported fire ants. In fested states include portions of Texas, Arkansas, South Carolina and North Carolina. All of Florida and Louisiana and most of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are seriously impacted. Fire Ants are now in southeastern North Carolina. Arrangements are being made for Representatives from these 15 states and Puer Payment-In-Kind Program Closes Farmers have only a few weeks left to signup for the payment-in-kind program. The signup period ends March 11, and will not be extended, according to John J. Cooper, State Executive Director, North Carolina Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion Service. “Farmers will not have the opportunity to change their mind and signup after this deadline. However, those who have already enrolled and those who enroll before March 11 will have the option of withdrawing or changing their enrollment without penalty provided it is done befofV enrollment ends,” Mr. i‘’3ggpß73iii» ! may have caused some pro blems for farmers around the country. However, recurring storms or any other problems will not change the signup deadline. The PIK program is design ed to bring supplies more in line with demand to improve the farm economy. It en courages farmers to further reduce 1983 crops of wheat, corn, sorghum, upland cotton and rice from the previously announced acreage reduction and land diversion programs. In return for participating, farmers will receive an amount of the commodity as payment for reducing planted acreage. All farmers for which a 1983 acreage base and yield has been established for wheat, feed grain, upland cotton and rice under the previously an nounced farm programs are eligible to participate in PIK.

I toTfelfeld’TOursclay, March 3," 1983. Precinct meetings will be held at 8:00 P.M. in each precinct at each polling place. “Chowan County Democratic Executive Com mittee is committed to active ly work towards making life better in Chowan County,” reported Lueta Sellers, Chair of Chowan County Democratic Party. “This year each precinct will have on its agenda a place for Democrats to voice their con cerns about life in our county and our Democratic Party. The expressed concerns will then be studied by our Coun ty Democratic Executive Committee and action, where possible, will be taken for im provements. We are also an ticipating that our city and county elected officials will be interested in the concerns ex pressed. We are looking for ward to working with Democrats in each precinct and our elected officials in this most vital project,” con cluded Sellers. Colonial Baptist Acquires A Building The members of the newly organized Colonial Baptist Church are busy this week, as they prepare their new building. After a long period of meeting in living rooms, the church has acquired a building most suitable for use as both a meeting place for services, socials and other meetings and as a parsonage. “What really amazes me most,” observes Pastor Yancey, “is the way God has worked in our search. We named the church ‘Colonial Baptist’ because it was bom in Cape Colony, and then it ap peared we would be forced to accept facilities far from the Colony. Now, God has given us a building on (you guessed it) Colony Drive. What could be more appropriate?” The church hopes to open its doors to the public during early March with a program designed for the maximum benefit of those who desire to attend this “Old Time Gospel” church. According to Pastor Yancey, “The church is attempting to take the name ‘Baptist’ back to what it was in the days of Moody and even to the day of Roger Williams, the founder of the first Baptist church in America.” \@Re(k TyCer downtown c/ edenton | —; 1 £O.M.
