“Antigone” Rehearsal
Louisburg Players
Prepare "Antigone"
Antigone, a play written by Jean
Anouih, will be presented by the
Louisburg Players January 30, 31
and February 1, under the direction
of Robert Versteeg.
The play, based on the Greek
drama Antigone, is concerned with
the two sons and the two daughters
of Oedipus, the late King of Thebes,
and with the new King, Creon. The
two brothers, Polynices and Eteocles,
had been engaged in a CivU War in
which they killed each other. Creon,
to emphasize the futility of warfare,
has ordered that Eteocles be buried in
pomp, while Polynices remains to rot
and be eaten by vultures. Antigone
goes against Creon’s edicts and tries
to bury her brother.
Presenting the drama is the fol-

APPLE PIE
The results of the food preference
survey conducted several weeks ago
in our dining hall have been estab
lished. As always in a survey of this
type, the end results are only as valid
as its participants’ sincerity. Ap
parently realizing that they will be the
beneficiaries, the students at LC ap
proached this survey with open minds
and with a willingness of self-expres
sion to show a result which would be
beneficial to the menu planners of
the food service staff.
Since the survey questionnaries
listed a total of 200 items, only a
portion of the results will be shown.
The most popular foods are as fol
lows: French toast, scrambled eggs,
fresh banana, vegetable soup, potato
salad, baked smoked ham, Swiss
steak, breaded veal cutlet, whipped
potatoes, hot biscuits, strawberry
short-cake, ice cream, apple pie,
lemon meringue pie, and milk. The
least popular foods are these: rhu
barb, stewed prunes, cream of mush
room soup, cottage cheese, deviled
crab, braised liver, cauliflower, har
vard beets, Brussels sprouts, tapioca
pudding, rice pudding, and hot tea.
It is interesting to note that of all
the food items listed on this survey,
only one is rated as being liked by
100% of the participants—apple pie.
Mr. Beckham wishes to express
his appreciation and gratitude to the
entire student body, not only for the
conscientiousness displayed during
the food preference survey, but for
their everyday actions and attitudes.
He assures us that the results of this
survey will be used to the best of
his ability to meet the desires and
needs of the students. Also, he ad
vises us that the dining hall is avail
able for dances, special functions, and
etc., to all bona fide groups who ob
tain permission through the proper
channel of school officials. Please
make preparations two weeks in ad
vance.
For those demanding times in the
near future (Exams!),.coffee will be
provided to the student body at no
charge by the food service.
Y" Delegates
To New York
Alicia Suarez, Elnathan Brown,
and Mr. Bob Butler comprised the
Louisburg College delegation to the
pilot project oil internaiionaj program
in New York City, which was spon
sored by the National Board of the
YMCA-YWCA. Louisburg was espe
cially selected to participate, and our
delegation actually represented the
entire southern area. The purpose of
the project was to create an awareness
of foreign problems (over-popula
tion, underdeveloped countries, po
litical revolutions, etc.) among the
masses of United States students who
are either indifferent or uninformed.
The conference agreed that the ma
jority of United States college stu
dents simply do not care about any
thing beyond the social injustices in
the South or their local social whirl
on campus. One of the many high
lights of the program occurred when
a panel discussion was conducted that
involved students from Nigeria,
Tanganyika, Russia, Argentina, Chile,
and Japan. These foreign stu
dents pointed out the fact that
American tourists, G. I.’s, and
both foreign and American news
papers disseminate misconceptions
and false notions that are harmful to
the United States “image.” On the
other side of the coin, Time maga
zine was accused of poor reporting
and the gross misrepresentation of
events that are taking place in foreign
countries. Numerous program sug
gestions were discussed—not only
to help involve the foreign students
attending U. S. colleges, but also to
stimulate interest among our apathetic
majority toward international prob
lems. The entire group enjoyed the
special guided tour through the
United Nations, and our Louisburg
College delegation managed to see
New York City at night from the
Empire State Building, Radio City
Music Hall, the Metropolitan Opera
performance of La Boheme, Cleo
patra, and Richard (Dr. Kildare)
Chamberlain “en persona.”
L.C. Host To
Luhoff Choir
On November 25, the Louisburg
College Concert Series presented the
Norman Luboff Choir as the second
concert of the year. The choir, con

adition to recording their own albums

Percy Faith and Paul Weston.
The program, with slight changes,
consisted of two parts. The first being
mostly classical, with the second per
taining to popular and semi-popular.
Music for the choir was provided
by a piano, drums, a guitar, and an
accordian.
After the performance the students
were given an opportunity to meet
the choir at a reception in the Main
lounge. After about an hour the choir
was forced to leave in order to meet
another engagement.
The choir sang such numbers as
“Wade in the Water,” “Deep River,”
“A Foggy Day,” “Tenderly,” and
many other favorites.
