They are like children sitting in the market place. One group shouts to the other, 'We played wedding music for you, but you would not dan ce 1 We sang funeral songs, but you would not cry!’ John the Baptist came, and he fasted and drank no wine, and you said, ‘He is a mad man!’ The Son of Man came, and he ate and drank, and you said, ‘Look at this man! He is a glutton and wine- drinker, and is a friend of tax collectors and outcasts!’ God's wisdom, however, is shown to t)e true by all who accept it.” A few years ago, the adver tising for the movie adaptation of Edward Albee’s play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” carri ed the invitation: "Come for an evening of fun and games with George and Martha" Alumni News '62 Robert H. Sneed has been named manager of the Roses' Siler City store. Mr. Sneed, a native of Henderson, attended the Henderson city schools, graduated from Chowan College and attended N. C.

He and his wife have two adopted girls, Kena Lynn, 5, and Kimberly Ann, 4. HAROLD I’ERRY It turned out to be an evening of games, with no little humor. As with most games in which we engage, the evening began with the manuever of “feeling out the opposition,” discovering his strengths and weaknesses. As the evening — and the play — progresses, the players be come more and more unsparring in their abuse of one another, attempting through verbal and emotional abuse to hide the truth about themselves from themselves and from each other. The evening ends as George — in a somewhat subdued taunt — sings to Martha: “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf, Virginia Woolf, Virginia Woolf. ...” Martha re sponds with the plea, “1 am, George. I am.” We engage in game-playing in order to avoid facing the truth about ourselves: the truth that we are not quite prepared to settle down to the business of living life as it really is. Game- playing is our means of re treating from the demands of life; of refusing to be responsi ble human beings. A psychiatrist might diagnose it as a kind of retreat to the infantile — or even the pre natal — when we had every thing done for us; when there were no responsibilities, no wor ries, no cares. Now, obviously, 1 am not talking about our favorite past imes, or means of recreation when I refer to the “games we play.” Rather, 1 am talking about a particular kind of stance, attitude, or posture towards life. That stance, attitude, or pos ture “might” be expressed by an inordinate attachment to some favorite pastime or form of recreation, but it need not be so. Nor will the game become an aggressive sort of game un- .til we begin to feel pushed; or, to change the figure, until reality begins to strip us bare of those masks behind which we are attempting to hide. The game students play is a kind of waiting game: the pre tense that somehow everything will come out all right, academ ically. Why get up a sweat over the books? So, we listen with ears half open and blame our dullness up on the methods of the prof. We see with eyes half-closed. We read words, but seldom grasp thoughts or ideas. Then the pressure mounts: exam time! With the mounting pressure, the game becomes a bit more aggressive. We beg, borrow, or steal from a neighbor — trying to fool ourselves and others into believing that the thing borrowed has somehow, now, become our own. We stuff the mind with all the data it can absord, hoping that the tangled ends will, somehow, fall together in some kind of rational pattern of thought or expression. We may even suc ceed in passing our courses; perhaps “get” a good grade or two. But it has still been only a game. The reality of becoming an educated man or woman (about which we previously spoke so idealistically) has es caped us while we played our childish games. For the reality of becoming an educated person academi cally, morally, socially — the reality of becoming a mature man or woman — requires daily toil, attentive listening, and eyes wide open to the wonder and the grandeur of the world about us: the pursuit of truth without any shame or pretense. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Hole Nearly 4 Miles The Soviet Union Claims it is drilling the deepest well yet in oil exploration, now nearing its planned depth of 20.670 feet.
