Eleven ACC Students Attend
State Student Legislature
By DWIGHT WAGNER
Eleven ACC students attended
and participated in the annual
State Student Legislature held in
Raleigh last weekend. Those
attending were, David Webb,
Cookie Wickham, Martha Sue
Mewborn, Sarah Patterson, Da
vid Griffin, John Gorham, Bobbie
Ellis, Carol Wells, Jerry Carter,
Clay Brown, and Dwight Wagner.
The annual session opened on
a sour note with the refusal of
Dr. Christopher Crittenton, head
of the archieves and history de
partment, and Gov. Dan
Moore to allow the student group
to use the old Capital chambers
this year as has been the custom
in years past. Little time was

college faculty in 1964. He received the B M degree
from the Shenandoah Conservatory of further
the M.M. degree from Converse (^oUege uni-
study at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music ana
versity of Michigan.
E. Edward
lost before the SSL adopted a
resolution expressing stong dis
approval over the rejection of
the old Capital chambers.
The body meet as a whole for
its first meeting at 2:00 p.m.
Thursday afternoon and shortly
afterwards adjourned so the del
egates could meet in their re
spected houses, the House and
Senate, in order to elect offi
cers. ACC was well represented
in this respect with David Webb
elected President of the Senate.
Cookie Wickham was elected re
cording secretary of the House
for the second year in a row.
Following supper there was a
dance at the Embers Club, but
many of the ACC delegates had
to leave early in order to pre
pare the ACC bill for its pres
entation the next day. The work
session, held in the Sir Walter
Hotel, where all the SSL dele
gates were staying, finally broke
up around 2:30 a.m. so that a
little sleep could be had before
the start of the morning session.
The Friday mornmg session be
gan sharply at 9:00 a.m. with
the House meeting in the educa
tion building and then in the
agriculture building when condi
tions in the education building
became overcrowded. The Senate
met in the basement of the Bap
tist church in the immediate
area.
In the afternoon session the
ACC bill w'hich was entitled “an
unlimited education act” was
presented late in the afternoon
and it met strong opposition in
both the House and the Senate.
The body adjourned at 5:00
p.m. in order to hear a find
address from Dr. Frank Porter
Graham, former president of
UNC and the consolidated uni
versity system. Dr. Graham
spoke on the history of civil
liberties in our country and with
a particular reference towards
today’s problems. He is strong
favor of the open forum on the
campuses of America’s colleges
and universities.
The business of the SSL went
on after supper with a session
that lasted until 11:45 p.m. Fol
lowing this session there were
numerous small parties back at
the hotel.
The final session of the SSL
and was completed in the after
noon with the meeting of the
whole body to consider resolu
tions and to elect officers for
next year’s session. The main
resolution presented called for
the right of student bodies to
invite any speakers they desired
to hear and the right to hold
open forums. The resolution was
adopted by a vast majority.
Many interesting bills were
presented during the session. The
University of North Carolina’s
bill called for the establishment
of a unicamerial legislature.
After strong debate it was de
fated. North Carolina State’s bill
called for legalized abortions in
cases where health of mother
and child was involved. This bill
was passed. Other bills dealt
with air polution, voting regis
tration, judical reorganization,
and many other topics.
Clifford Poole And
Fred Rarher To
Play Leadinji; Roles
Robert Bolt's “A Man For -Ml
Seasons," the drama of the
struggle between Sir Thomas
More and King Henry Vlll will
be presented by Stage and Script
as its third production of the
year on Thursday and Friday,
March 3 and 4 in Howard Chap
el at 8:15.
Originally produced in London
with great success and later in
New York, where it won the
Critic’s Circle Award as the best
play of the 19Cl-<)2 season and
the Dramatist Guild's Award
as the best play of the year,
the play marked the exciting
debut of one of England's new
est young serious playwrights.
Robert W. Corrigan, noted Amer
ican scholar and drama author
ity, included the play in his
choice of the five most import
ant plays of the modern Euro
pean theater and Bolt as Eng
land’s leading living playwright.
Mr. Bolt’s screenplay for “Law
rence of Arabia” later went on
to win an Academy Award for
the best screenplay of the 1%2-
63 season.
In “A Man for All Seasons”
he tells of More’s refusal, be
cause of the dictates of his con
science, to agree to the divorce
of Queen Catherine by the King,
who desired to marry Anne Boe-
lyn. Bolt’s thesis in the play is
that a man must remain true
to himself and his ideals against
all pressures, be they poltical,
social or religious. His second
thesis is that More was not a
religious martyr, but a great
exponent of the idea of human
man and that society frequently
sacrifices the man of genius and
the great hero in the name of
the progress of the Common
Man, who does not have the abil
ity to understand the “Hero”
and must destroy all men of
greatness.
Clifford Poole, who played
the lead in “The Playboy of the
Western World,” appears in the
role of More with Fred Barber
appearing as the true villain,
the Common Man. The leading
female roles are played by Doro
thy Wyman, as More’s crude
and coarse, yet faithful, wife and
Sandra Edwards as his daughter
Margaret. Other leading roles
will be played by Robert Parvin,
John Grady, James Burroughs,
and Fred Edwards.

ACC Bill Defeated At
SSL Meetiiiff In Raleish
The bill presented by ACC at
the Student State Legislature ran
into strong opposition and was
unable to gain passage during
the session. The bill was en
titled “an unlimited education
act,”
The bill came before the body
in both houes around 4:15 p.m.
Friday afternoon. John Gorham
presented it in the Senate and
Dwight Wagner presented it in
the House.
In the Senate, Gorham was
asked many questions about the
bill and after short debate Sec
tions 1 and 3 were deleted af
ter motions had been raised to
take such action. Section 1 of the
bill called for an increase of .4
of 1 per cent in the cooperate
income tax level in order to
sponsor more community col-
legs. Section 3 called for the
minimum withdrawing age in the
public schools to be raised from
16 to 18.
In the House, Wagner also en
countered many questions with
regard to the bill and a quick
amendment to delete section 1
was passed by the body. Since
it was close to adjournament
began early Saturday morning time, a motion was made to ta
ble the remainder of the bill.
This motion passed, and Sec
tion 2 was tabled in the Senate
also.
In discussions afterward, Wag
ner said he felt the bill could
be brought off the table in the
House with the possibility of
passing Section 2, Gorham said
that the Senate was very ho.stile
to the bill and he doubted that
it could be brought off the ta
ble.
In the first order of business
Saturday morning, Wagner mov
ed in the House that the ACC
bill be brought off the table. The
House passed this motion and be
gan to consider Section 2 which
called for an across the board
personal income tax raise in or
der to finance better facilities
and teachers pay in the public
schools. Wagner then offered an
amendment which clarified the
section and this was passed.
Then without much opposition
Section 2 of the bill was passed
in the House.
In the Senate the bill was left
on the table, and was thereby
officially defeated since it had
to be approved by both the
House and the Senate in order
to gain passage.
