COLUMN ARCHIVES THE CECIL W. ROBBINS LIBfi LOUISBURG COLLEGE LOUISBURG, N.C. 27549 Volume XXII LOUISBURG COLLEGE, N. C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1963 No. 3 Famed Duo Here Feb. 6 “The Many Moods of Ferrante and Teicher” is the theme of Louis- burg College’s second attraction for the concert series to be held in the Auditorium-Classroom Building on February 6, at 8:00 p.m. The versatile duo have planned their two-hour program around a medley of show tunes, popular music, and “Pop” classics. They have also in cluded wit and comedy in the per formance. Ferrante and Teicher have been playing together since they were six, when they first met as students in New York’s Juilliard School of Music. Although they were initially trained in the classics, their record ings of “Exodus,” “The Apart ment,” and “Tonight” sold well over three million records. The two Steinway pianos which the two artists use in all their con certs will be loaded by special tech nicians from Raleigh. Both instru ments were carefully tuned and made to sound as if they were in struments of percussion. The sound effects gained by the use of special gadgets have given rise to the term “Decorated Pianos.” Since Ferrante and Teicher will play only four concerts consecu tively in a given area, there has been quite a bit of controversy as to why Louisburg College should receive priority over some of the larger colleges in the state. Accord ing to Mr. Allen de Hart, three years of negotiations have gone into signing the famous pianists. “There were considerable financial prob lems as well as conflicts in both their schedule and ours,” added Mr. de Hart. It is reported that there is a waiting list of at least sixty persons who wish to obtain seats for the performance should some of the students drop out this semes ter. Founder’s Day Program Held Here January 5 The 176th Anniversary of the founding of Louisburg College was celebrated here January 5, 1963. The Founders Day Program be gan with a worship service at 11:00 Modernistic Annual Is Expected Heads of the annual staff have been putting in many hours to make this year’s edition one of the best ever. All layouts of pages are ex pected to be handed in to Hunter Publishing Company of Winston- Salem, N. C., within the next few weeks. “We are aiming for May 1 as the date from getting the annuals back,” the staff stated. The annual staff feels that they have gone all-out in presenting a new concept in layout and design for a Louisburg College annual. A/ex/ of Kin An undertaker found a dead don key in front of his premises and informed the police. “What am I to do with it?” he questioned the officer, who had a sense of humor. “Bury it of course. You’re the undertaker ain’t you?” “That’s true,” replied the under taker, “but I thought it only right to come around and inform the rela tives first.” Next Play On Feb. 14 The Louisburg Players will pre sent their second play of the year, A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare on February 14, 15, & 16. Play Director, R. L. Versteeg, said that this “may be the funniest play he ever wrote. We have a very competent cast and adequate rehearsal time. “I’m not just pleased, but thrilled with the players’ work. It means teamwork . . . where everyone has to work together, and this is what we have.” The play is a fantasy in which one of the clowns. Bottom, is turned into a donkey by Oberon, King of the Fairies. “Bottom,” who is played by Umphrey Lee, “is one of the most enduring comic characters that Shakespeare ever created,” said Versteeg. The theme of the play is love. There are four love stories inter woven into the play — one of which is between Bottom and Thisbe, who is played by Flute, who in turn, is played by Walter McDonald — an other member of the faculty. With this theme of love, it is significant to note that the play is to be pre sented on Valentine’s Day — very appropriate. The next scheduled production for the Players is Where’s Charley to be presented about three weeks before summer vacation. The cast includes: Theseus, Dave Garber; Hippolyta, Sydney Knox; Egeus, Sam Shield; Philostrate, Alex Speer; Hermia, Linda Haley; Lysander, Jay Buttner; Helena, My- fanwy Ward; Demetrius, Bill Wil liamson; Oberon, Earl Fisher; Ti- tania, Jean Jones; Puck, Andrea Beatty; Quince, Fred Cook; Snout, Neill McDonald; Snug, Dan Ben nett; Flute, Walter McDonald; Bot tom, Umphrey Lee; Fairies, chil dren of the faculty.

After a congrega tional hymn, the Louisburg Glee Club under the direction of Sarah Foster sang “Praise Ye the Lord” by Saint and Saens. The Rev. Henry G. Ruark gave the morning prayer. Dr. Cecil W. Robbins then extended a welcome to all alumni and visitors and told of the progress which Louisburg College made dur ing the expiring year, and what the college was looking forward to in the coming years. Dr. Robbins stated that construction on the new woman’s dorm should be complete in time for the coming Fall semes ter. He also stated that the college would have to have new library and science buildings by 1965 if we are to remain a member of the Southeastern Association of Junior Colleges. Following the welcoming speech, the Glee Club sang its second an them “As Parts the Hart” by Spohi (Ehirt). Dr. Ralph W. Decker, Director of the Department of Educational Institutions Board of Education, The Methodist College, then gave the address, speaking on “The Role of the Private Two-Year College.” In a rather lengthy address. Dr. Decker expressed his ideas that the 5tate-SLippof tCii iwo~yeai college will soon replace the private, unless the private colleges get better sup port. He stated that experimental tax-supported two-year colleges in Florida had met with profound suc cess and that the state was planning to build 34 two-year colleges which (Continued on page 4) Dr. Ralph Becker speaks College Glee Club Has Its Christmas Concert The Louisburg College Glee i Linda Haley, John Herring, Diane Club presented its Annual Christ- Hicks, John Marshall, Sam Shield, mas Concert in the Auditorium-1 c* u u i c Classroom Building on Thursday | evening, December 13, 1962.

Following the concert the Glee Club was treated to a small party in the Student Lounge. Cold drinks and snacks were served, and the Glee Club members enjoyed danc ing. With emphasis on “Revolution and Response,” the Assembly theme, seven crucial phases of the world in revolution were explored daily by interesting and unusual methods. Section leaders were top government, business and education experts who helped the students analyze issues under fire. The seven vital topics of discussion were: so cial injustice, the world in revolu tion, the dilemma of atomic power in a divided world, the changing roles of men and women, urban mass culture, issues facing higher education, and the challenges to the democratic idea. The assembly program featured drama, on opening night and New Year’s Eve; firesides with Assem bly leaders; film forum of outstand ing films for Association programs; recreation during free time; a gala New Year’s Eve banquet and dance; exhibits on local Association programs, the seven assembly sec tion areas, and summer projects. In the near future a program will be presented to the campus by the delegates from Louisburg, who will give a clearer and more detailed account of their experience. Winter Dance Is Smashing Success The annual midwinter dance was held December 15 in the school cafeteria. The dance was termed “a success.” The fact that the winter dance was held in the cafeteria and the atmosphere that was provided added much to the success of the dance. The Collegians from East Carolina College provided the music. Students interviewed wished to thank the sophomore class for spon soring the dance and commend them for providing a good time for aU. When asked her opinion of the dance, Mrs. Betsy Leonard Pernell, one of the class sponsors, said, “I think it was the best dance we have ever had here at Louisburg.” Homecoming Day Set On February 9, Louisburg Col lege will hold its annual homecoming day. At 6:30 p.m. in the Holton Gymnasium, the Louisburg J.V. basketball squad will play the Alumni, to be followed at 8:00 p.m. by a game between Louisburg’s varsity basketball team and Roanoke Business CoUege of Roanoke, Vir ginia.
