Page 2, THE PILOT Friday, October 19,1973 Performance On Campus The comedy, She Stoops to Con quer, will be presented at Gardner- Webb this semester. The play was written by Oliver Goldsmith of England during the 1700’s. After several attempts at suc cess, Goldsmith found himself in a bad situation and he then looked to the stage for assistance out of the financial slough in which he had plunged. He was at that time en gaged in writing a comedy; and that comedy was She Stoops to Conquer. Much criticism arose over the comedy and many people tried to discourage him out of under taking the performance of the play, but he would not listen. When the opening night of the play came on March 15, 1773, Goldsmith found himself almost unable to attend the first performance because of all the criticism that the play had re ceived. Nevertheless, the play was a dynamic hit and the audience was in a roar of laughter from the begin ning to the end of the performance. Try-outs for the play were held on September 11 and 12. Below is a list of the cast and the characters they portray.

During the first couple of weeks of this year, there was a growing hter problem on the GW campus. This made it hard to mow the grass and keep the grounds clean. Since that time, however, this problem has Mr. Harding, head of the Physical Plant Office, feels that the students are doing a good job of keeping the campus clean, considering the fact that there are over 1500 students along with faculty here on campus. This being Mr. Harding’s first year on the Gard ner-Webb staff; he has seen many things around the campus that need altering. In the past, Mr. Harding has worked mainly in the fields of beautification and landscaping. He feels that a landscape should be beau tiful as well as functional. This is a challenge to a grow ing school. Mr. Harding is now in the process of putting to paper, the plans for capital improvements on the campus. Such improvements would include beautifica tion of buildings, improving routes of traffic, and the relocation of some parking areas. Another problem at hand is erosion and the loss of grass due to pedestrian traffic between buildings on campus. Some of these im provements are taking place now. Others will be initi ated in the near future. Student participation is something that Mr. Harding is very much interested in. He feels it would be good for the students to help as much as they can in making the campus more beautiful. The Physical Plant Office is always ready for suggestions from students.
