Stage And Script Plans
Oscar Wilde Play In ’63
On Wednesday evening, Stage and
Script held its first meeting of the
new year, with plans being made
for the productions it will present
during the second semester.
The campus dramatic group has
outlined a most impressive and chal
lenging program for that time, with
three full-length and one bill of one-
act plays being planned. The first
production will be Oscar Wilde’s de
lightful farce, "The Importance of
Being Ernest,” which will be pre
sented early in February, with a
cast headed by James Barbour,
George Farr and Ann Morgan, a
newcomer to Stage and Script pro
ductions.
This will be followed by the Amer
ican premiere of one of Europe’s
most famous plays, “Queen
Cristina,” by the world-famous Swe
dish dramatist, August Strindberg.
The play was originally produced in
Berlin in 18%, but so far as is known,
has never been produced in England
Point System Revamped
Quality points are now being com
puted on a four point system at
Atlantic Christian College as a result
of faculty action taken on Sept. 5,
1962, according to Efr. Millard P.
Burt, Dean of the College.
Values have been assigned to each
letter grade per semester hour as
follows: A-4; B-3; C-2; D-1; F-0.
A “C” average is represented by
an overall quality point ratio be
tween the sum of the quality points
divided by the total semester hours
of work taken. (The only exception
is repeating work that was passed
in order to improve the final grade.)
This represents a true “C” average
since it is based on all work attemp
ted, not just the work passed.
Students who have received a
Srade of “F” on courses will find
a slight reduction in their cumula
tive averages. Realizing this im
poses an unexpected handicap, the
faculty approved ,the following modi
fications to be in effect until June 1,
1964;
1- All records will be computed on
ttie four point system beginning in
the Fall semester of 1962.
2. Any student enrolled in the Fall
of 1962 who, during the transitional
period, subsequently incurs a deficit
of more than 12 quality points will
have his record computed on the
three point system also, and will be
placed on probation only if such pro
bation shall have been in effect un
der the three point system.
3. Any student enrolled in the Fall
of 1962, who, during the transitional
period, fails to remove probation by
reducing his quality point deficit to
12 or less will have his record com
puted on the three point system, and
will be declared scholastically ineli
gible only if such ineligibility shall
have been in effect under the three
point system.
4. Any student enrolled in the Fall
of 1962 who, during the transitional
period, completes all requirements
for graduation but does not have a
2.0 average will have his record
computed on the three point system
and will be graduated if he has a
1.0 average under the three point
system. .
5. Any s t u d e n t who is scholas
tically ineligible and subsequently
readmitted during the transitional
period will come under the above
provisions.
or America.
Shortly, thereafter, this will be
followed by a bill of one-act plays,
including “A Child’s Garden of Ver
ses,” by the organization’s direc
tor, Mr. Cecil Willis, which was
originally done in December and is
being revived at the request of some
of the faculty and students. The sec
ond play will be “Flyspray,” by
Atlantic Christian College alumnus,
James Howard, which was originally
produced Off-Broadway, with the au
thor and Jo Davison, Jr. featured
in its three character cast. The fi
nal play will be the college’s entry
in the North Carolina Dramatic Fes
tival competition to be held in
Chapel Hill in early April. It will
be a portion of the fourth act of
George Bernard Shaw’s “Cae.sar and
Cleopatra.”
The final Stage and Script pro
duction will be given in May and it
is hoped that it will involve not
only the members of the club, but
