‘'^Androcles And The Liorv'^ Will Be
Given By ACC^s Stage and Script
By FRED BARBER
In tiie Preface to “Androcles and
the Lion,” George Bernard Shaw
states, “I am no more of a Chris
tian than Pilate was, or you gentle
reader:. . .1 am ready to admit
that after contemplating the world
and human nature for nearly sixty
' i
years, I see .no way out of the
world’s misery but the way which
would have been found by Christ’s
will if he had undertaken the work
of a modem practical statesman.”
Shaw felt that Christ was quite
a uniquely gifted man, but one
who, unfortunately, missed his call
ing. Shaw felt that if Christ had
become what we mi^t call a politi
cal philosopher he would have been
much more successful. Shaw states
. .1 must still insist that if Jesus
could have worked out the practical
problems of a Communist constitu
tion, an admitted obligation to deal
with crime without revenge or pun
ishment. . .he would ‘have conferred
an incalucable benefit on mankind.”
Shaw indeed felt that Christ had
made no type of “incalcuable bene
fit to mankind” because most of the
people of the world were not Chris
tians, no matter what they might
claim.
With this somewhat unusual view
of Christianity Shaw began to write
his satire coceming the subject,
“Androcles and the Lion.” This play
will be given by Stage and Script
on February 25 and 26 in Howard
Chapel. Shaw’s beliefs on the subject
of Christianity are masterfully con-
celaed under an extremely amusing
cover of comedy. StiU the viewer
can sense Shaw’s views on Chris
tianity by the naiveness of the

Gets $600
The Executive Board opened its
regular Monday night meeting with
a report on the Concert and As
sembly Committee from Robert
Frazier. He presented a breakdown
of expenditures by the Committee
so far this year, and stated that
they had added four additional
events which had not been original
ly planned. It was for this reason
he said that the Committee was re
questing an additional $600 in order
to cover its expenses. Stuart Ray
nor, treasurer, moved that the
Board grant the additional $600 to
the Concert and Assembly Commit
tee, and the motion passed.
Dwight Wagner reported that the
Model U. N. Assembly held at Chap
el Hill last week was a success, and
that much had been gained from
the experience which he hoped
would be reflected to the students of
ACC. Attending the session with
Wagner were Gina AUen, Cookie
Wickham, and Janie McCormick.
Hubert Burden, senior president,
reported that the ACC Sign Com
mittee had met with state officials
and approved the locations of the
ACC signs. These signs wUl be
placed at all points of entrance
into Wilson, and will direct college
visitors to the location of the cam
pus.
ing on the Co-Op Constitutional re
visions.
Challenges wre made by Elmer
Lee Horne, president of the Co-Op,
Corky Ecklin and Paul Donnelly.
Tile protests were recorded as fol
lows: (1) Uie polls were left un
attended while students continuetl
voting: (2) the poll tenders vrore
campaigning while holding the polls
thus making the voting proce<lures il
legal: (3) the voting done today
was unconstitutional because an Aus
tralian ballot is scret and can
not change hands and remain sec
ret.
After discussion of the several pro
tests the Executive Board unani
mously passed the following motion:
“The Executive Board declares this
Constitution Election null and void
as of Wednesdiay, February 16, 1965
at 4 p.m. without consideration of
the tabulation of the votes cast on
this day. Therefore the polls will
not be open for voting on Thurs
day, February 17, 1965.”
Richard Surlos, vice-president of
the Co-Op, moved that the Execu
tive Board accept a new ballot
and to schedule a re-election for
the Constitution and Bly-Laws to
begin on Monday, February 22, 1965.
’nie motion passed without dissent.
Mr, Gordon Mercer, faculty re
presentative on the Exec Board,
moved to suspend the rules of pro
cedure of the Exec Board in order
to permit a one-day election for this
Constitution and By-Ijaws on Mon
day, February 22, from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Results of the voting on Tues
day by members of the Cooperative
Association on the revisions were
171 against and 166 in favor. A two-
thirds majority of those voting would
have been necessary for passage of
the proposed revisions.
GETTING THE POINT—In preparation for the rise
Mr. Cecil Willis points out a section of v George
to Fred Barber and Ray Hewitt. The play was written by George
Bernard Shaw, and will be presented on Feb.
