RAFF TRAVELS
TO DURHAM

scenery: bare planks of wood, a metal em
blem, and a rack of lights. The play was
produced at Page Auditorium at Duke Uni
versity by the Circle in the Square
Productions, an associate of Theater
Guild Productions. Traveling with Miss
Raff were Sam Kephart, Susan Sibley, and
Susan Walker.

work in the academics and arts.
The staff has been invited to spend

endeavor to make a more creative and u-

that time will automatically become ac
credited with the college. In January
representatives will visit the school
to discuss the college accreditation
and to advise the NCSA staff.
