MR, JONAS NEWMANi
DEAN OF MEN '
#
Mr. Newman was born in Cincinnati,'
Ohio, the son of a hotel manager, which^
qualifies him for dormitory supervision!
from the beginning. After receiving a ;
bachelor degree from the University of |
Michigan, he went to Wayne state Uni- |
versity in Detroit, Mechigan, where he
received his masters degree and life
time teaching certificate. While
teaching junior high school and high
school he gained much valuable exper
ience in the ability to deal with the
problems of the student. Mr. Newman
is qualified musically as well as aca
demically. While in Paris he studied
with the famous violinist Jack Thibaud,
and was the roommate of the adopted son
of the famed Paderewski. In Califor
nia, Mr. Newman was a member of the
Glendale Symphony, and was principal
violinist with the West End Opera As
sociation.
Mr. Newman is married and has two
children. Mrs. Newman is a first vio
linist in the San Francisco Symphony.
Lisa, twelve is in the seventh grade,
and plans to be a ballerina. Alex,
sixteen, is majoring in clarinet at
the School of the Arts.
When asked if he had any comment
on the school, Mr. Newman said, ’’It's
like comming from the setting sun to
the rising sun. In California the
rioting low lifers (refering to the
teenagers) of the Sunset Strip are
really appalling.” Mr. Newman is de
lighted to see the interest, determi-
ation, and dedication of the students
of the North Carolina School of the
Arts.
THE N.C. ESSAY SALUTES will be
published in the following weeks in
order to acquaint the students of
the school with the academic and arts
faculty.

'BERNARCAALBA
UNDERWAY
If blocking sessions are any
preview of things to come, Bernarda
Alba by Garcia Lorca, directed by
Dr. Osvaldo Riofrancos, will be a
production of outstanding quality.
The closed rehearsals begin at 6:30
and last until around 10:30 every
evening. Slowly but surely, this
fantastic play is taking shape under
the watchful eye of the Dean of
Drama.
”No! No!” he explodes during a
tense scene, ’’That is all wrong. Don
be an actress! Be a human being!”
This, explained Dr. Riofrancos,
is the key stone to Bernarda. The
play presents an excellent opportun
ity for the all-woman cast ”to work
from deep inside.” Because of the
vital need for realism, the old wo
man will be played by women within
the given age range.
