I "Revelation" Woodcut Series Now On View An exhibition of Albrecht Durer’s “Revelation” Woodcut Series is now on view in Green Hall Art Gallery, Chowan College. They are being cir culated by the North Carolina Museum as part of the traveling exhibitions program. Funds for the preparation and packing of such shows are provided by the North Carolina State Art Society. Albrecht Durer was bom in Nuremberg, Germany in 1417. The son of a goldsmith, he quickly learned his father’s trade, but was later apprenticed to Michael Wolgemut, the foremost painter of Nuremberg. Wolgemut was one of the first to broaden the aesthetic possibilities of the woodcut by using well-known artists rather than “professional” illustrators who were often dominated by their publishers. The “Revelation” or “Apocalypse” series of woodcuts was prepared by Durer to illustrate accompanying texts from the Book of Revelation, which he later published. The first two editions contained fif teen woodcuts representing the Martyrdom of St. John the Evangelist. In 1511, the Latin edition was reprinted with the addition of a frontispiece making a total of sixteen prints in the series. The entire “Revelation” Series was given by Mrs. Forbes Hawkes, of New York, to Mrs. Howard Manning, of Raleigh, with the request that the prints be presented to an art museum selected by Mrs. Manning. In 1949, Mrs. Manning gave the series to the North Carolina State Art Society to be included in the permanent collection of the Museum. The prints will be on exhibition through the 28th of February. SNEA News By TERESA LANE PIKE ' The president of the SNEA, David Hudson, has called one organizational meeting this semester which was well at tended. The SNEA is now trying to organize 'schedules for students who wish to act as tisacher aids at the Riverview School. Mrs. McKeithan advisor of the SNEA said the club is hoping to come up with more creative kleas. The SNEA needs more people who have creative ideas and would like to work in the betterment of education. Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I am writing this letter with the idea that it may motivate other students to put into print any “gripes” or recommendations they feel may help Chowan College. I would like to say that the “Smoke Signals” could be the most effective means of ex pressing the ideas and opinions of students and also the faculty.

This fails to give a variety of ideas and opinions. Last semester I wrote a letter concerning the Pro-rate system and a few comments on the cafeteria. Several students and faculty members commented on it, both pro and con, but instead of putting their reactions in the “Smoke Signals” for all to share, they talked it over with a few friends where all their opinions stayed. It is no wonder to me that Chowan has not changed many of its policies because the school throws its rules and regulations at the students and the students just “turn the other cheek” and then complain and gripe amongst friends which is where it ends. I am sure that most of the faculty and staff read “Smoke Signals”. Most importantly. Dr. Whitaker reads it. I am confident that Dr. Whitaker is a rational person and would welcome any opinions. That is one of his major functions as President of this college; to concern himself with the students and faculty’s welfare. So, if you have a legitimate gripe and you want it to be shared by all, then put it in print! This paper can and should be used to eliminate a serious “com munication gap.” Sincerely, Jim Owen Chowan Students Hit The Ice By HECTOR J. CUELLAR On Friday January 31st a group of Chowan students decided to go ice-skating at Greenville’s Ice House. Due to the lack of en tertainment around here in Murfreesboro the students had to drive about 65 miles to have some fun, without having to spend money for booze. Among those that went were Kevin Carter, Eddie Clifton, Hector Cuellar, Chris Elliot, Bill Goodwyn, Sandra Howard, David Hundly, Jeanette Jorgenson, Lisa Jorgenson, A.C. Rone, Harold Smith, and Clyde Spear. For some this was their first time and for others they were good enough to Dlay Hockey. Even though some of us returned with bruises and sore muscles it was a fun and enjoyable experience.

Literary Musings By PROF. ROBERT G. MULDER There seems to be little justification in the violence which bathes the melodramatic finale of “Buster and Billy,” a Columbia film now showing at several local theatres. The completely beautiful love story falls apart in the poolroom scene at the end but does redeem the brutality somewhat at the cemetery when the credits are unveiled. The time is 1948, Harry Truman is president, and Greenwood High School is a typical rural fount of education in Georgia (The setting used in near Statesboro, Georgia.). There is a great deal of local color from the little white church on the hill to the plain, over worked men and women whose lento singing of “Rock of Ages” on Sunday morning is pitted against their primitive beliefs on life and love. Buster Lane has everything going for him. He is president of his local chapter of Future Farmers of America, out standing pitcher on the baseball team, and a recognized leader among his peers. His somewhat rough and crude actions at times seem almost ap propriate and keep no admiration from him on the part of the school, com munity, or church. Graduation in June is to be followed by marriage to one of the respectable girls in the community. Sadness and depression surround the life of Billie Joe, resident of the shack across the tracks and daughter to parents who could not possibly care less about her or for her. In order to gain any attention at all, she is forced somewhat to make herself available to the local gang. After each encounter these boys boast of their manhood, cause shame and justified gossip to circle Billie, and fall to impress Buster who simply regards their actions as amusingly immature. On the other hand, Buster feels sorry for her, becomes the only boy in his class to speak to her at the lunch hour, and suddenly, caring notlang for what the others suspect, he begins to date her. The genuine sympathy which he feels grows and Billie cannot believe that the high school hero is being nice to her, yea SGA News Movies “Horror Movies”, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday, February 22, Marks Hall Auditorium. “The Endless Summer” 6:30 and 8:30 Tuesday, March 4, Marks Hall Auditorium. “Go Ask Alice”, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 25, Marks Hall Auditorium. “Two Lane Blacktop”, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, Marks Hall Auditorium talent SNHOW Talent Show, February 25th and 26th, at 8:00 p.m., Daniel Hall, $.25 admission. “■If## if 11 treating her like a real person rather than as an object for lust. The innocent expression of sympathy grows into a beautiful and meaningful love affair which provokes his peers, end his plans for marriage, and causes both Buster and Billie to experience real love and happiness for the first time. Such a relationship of freedom and forbidden passion may remind on of the tender stories of “The Way We Were” and “Love Story,” but the affair is short lived and ends quite differently. Buster’s friends soon tire of beer and pool and long to see Billie again despite their awareness of how deeply Buster cares for her. In one of their drunken spells and at a time when Buster is working, these enterprising red-necks visit her shack, chase her into the woods, and engage in a brutal rape which leaves Billie dead and the boys in a state of shock at what their selfish actions have provoked. As plot would have it, Buster finds her bloody body, rain-washed and nude, on the creek bank. Tenderly he carries her lifeless body back to his truck wrapped in his own coat. He weeps hysterically at first but composes himself for the return to the pool hall where he finds his one time buddies. Their expressions of guilt and their own wasted appearance tell him what has happened, a thing he has actually known all along. The scene which follows is horrible. Buster kills two of the boys in cold blood, using a cue stick on one and a pool ball on the other. Screams, horror, and violence mix with blood to make this scene one never to be forgotten. Buster is jailed, of course, and not allowed even to attend Billie’s funeral; only his parents and the pastor do that. At the end, however, Buster is tempwraorily freed on bond and is seen planting a huge bed of blooming flowers around his lover’s grave.
