Meat Of The Minutes
(This is the first of a series of
articles which will collect news
from the minutes of the various
committee meetings held at
NCSA for dissemination to the
entire School. Information will
come from meetings of the
faculty, Administrative Com
mittee, Deans Committee,
faculties of the various schools
and departments, Financial Aid
Committee, etc.)
A $492,000 renovation of the
NCSA Theatre (including air
conditioning) and administration
buildings was one step nearer
this week, after the Winston-
Salem - Forsyth County School
Board voted unanimously to sell
those two buildings to the State of
North Carolina.
When NCSA opened its doors in
1965, it did so on property that
belonged to the local school board
and was leased to NCSA for $1.00
a year. When the two sets of
dormitories and the Student
Commons were built, NCSA
bought the land on which they
were located from the School
Board in a public auction, which
the law requires when publicly-
owned land is sold. Fortunately,
no one bid against NCSA in those
instances.
Then, during the 1969
Legislature, $492,000 was
authorized for the renovation of
the Administration and Theatre
buildings. But State money
cannot be spent on buildings that
do no belong to the State, so the
money has been held in Raleigh
while theatre-goers and students
have sweltered in an un-
airconditioned gymnasium. The
same legislature gave the local
School Board the right to
negotiate the sale of the
remaining Gray High School
property to the School of the Arts,
rather than to put it up for public
auction.
Within recent weeks, ap
praisals of the property have
been made, and meetings have
been held between the local
school and NCSA ad
ministrations. The climax came
on Monday, when the School
Board authorized the sale of the
buildings and some additional
land. TTie money to make' the
purchases will come primarily
from the State, with the School of
the Arts Foundation chipping in
the difference. The property on
which the two buildings are
situated will be bought first, with
the unimproved parcel to be
purchased later.
Once the formalities are taken
care of, planning the renovations
can begin.

Shortage of infirmary per
sonnel has been discussed by
various NCSA committees, in
cluding the Drama faculty and
the School’s Administrative
Committee. The Office of Student
Affairs is now looking for ad
ditional nurses, so that trained
personnel can be on duty 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.
The School of Drama received
a National Foundation for the
Arts grant of $7,500 earlier this
year to take live drama per
formances to North Carolina
elementary and secondary
schools during the year.
The drama faculty thas
decided that Mr. Donley will
prepare “John Brown’s Body”
for a tour of high schools during
the first two weeks of February,
while Mr. Dreyer will direct
Level 5 students in a program to
be developed for the two-week
tour of elementary schools at the
same time.
Some '250 drama teachers and
students will be on the campus on
Friday, November 20, for an all
day institute, during which time
“The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s
Window” will be presented.
Morning classes for the Drama
students will be cancelled. All
members of the Drama faculty
will participate in the sessions.
A group of newspapermen from
Southern newspapers will be on
the campus January 10-13 for a
semin&r on the performing arts.
The seminar is sponsored by the
Southern Newspaper Publishers
Association Foundation. Faculty
and students from the Schools of
Dance, Design and Production,
Drama, and Music will par
ticipate. Details of this semianr
are now being worked out by Mr.
Rush.
The material for the 1971-72
NCSA catalogue is now at the
printers. Plans call for the
catalogue to be printed by the end
of December, ready for
distribution the first of the year.
It will be similar in format to the
current catalogue and will have a
light tan cover to distinguish it
from the red, green, and blue
covers of previous years.

Window,” a masterful lonely
lonesome song of departure
(“Her and her boyfriend went to
California”) and plans that don’t
include the singer. Tlie most
revealing lines end the song:
“Build me a cabin in Utah-marry
me a wife, catch rainbow trout-
have a bunch of kids who call me .
. . Pa- that must be what it’s all
about.” At age thirty, with a
lifetime already behind him,
Dylan finally finds value in the
most basic of desires. Tliat must
be what it’s all about.
“Three Angels” is spoken with
heavy country inflection ( how
many voices does Dylan have?).
It’s simple imagery might pass
you by, but listen again. A
striking parable. “Father of
Night” concludes the LP, a
prayer with great rolling piano
(Dylan) and a swooning chorus.
Dylan’s religious sequal to
“Frankie Lee and Judas Priest.”
New Morning is Dylan’s finest
work since . . . well, since Self
Protrait. His understanding of
rural America is utterly true and
the songs are pure and un
cluttered attempts to find
meaning, not answers. Tliey deal
with realities, not nostalgia,
because Dylan has been faithful
to his own terse artistic intuition.
Once more. Bob Dylan has
brought it all back home.
G)ncerls
Concerts; Sorry we missed the
Chicago gig in Greensboro
yesterday, but it didn’t come to
our attention until way too late.
Ah, well . . . Otherwise, Blood,
Sweat & Tears, far-out heavy big
band and all that, will be in
Raleigh, November 13, at Dorton
Arena. Tickets are outrageous;
$6.50 for the best seats (so we
hear). As for Crosby, Stills, etc.,
etc., you might as well forget
about seeing them for awhile.
They’ve cancelled all tours 'til
summer. Apart from that. Young
is doing the coffee-house circuit,
which is kinda nice, and he’s
supposed to be in Washington,
D.C. sometime around Christ
mas. C, S &N are off doing their
own things and there’s no telling
what will happen. But all this is
subject to change ’cause all those
guys are nuts. Once again, we
hear that ‘The Who’ are coming,
ttiis time to Chapel Hill ... So
what else is new? Another nasty
rumor has that ole’ Bobby
Dylan’s hitting the road again. I
guess only he knows. Anyway,
that’s all we know.
An original television drama
featuring students from the N.C.
School of the Arts and Carolina
Playmakers was presented on
Thursday, November 5, at 8:30
P.M. on Oiannel 4.
Tlie drama, “The Man Comes
From Madrid,” starred former
Arts School student body
president David Wood and
Carolina Playmaker Malcolm
Groome, with Playmakers
Homer Foil and Linda Earp.
Choreography was by Arts School
dance major Cathy Wonsavage, a
high school senior.
The play was produced and
directed last spring by Carol
Wonsavage, a graduate student
in the University of North
Carolina department of radio
television, as a graduate
television project. Produced in
the department’s Chapel Hill
studios with a student crew, the
show was accepted for broadcast
by the state-wide University
Educational Network, WUNC.
“The Man Comes From
Madrid” is set in a Mexican
border town features a con-
fronatation between a third^’ate
matador and a wandering
sometime-poet from ^ain.
David Wood played the
matador, a man whose egotism
causes his dowfall. Linda Eiarp of
UNC, plays Theresa, his girl
friend, the pivot in a love triangle
which forms when the poet
arrives in town.
Malcolm Groome, a UNC
senior in drama, plays Don
Picaro, the poet. Groome just
finished a summer playing
Dionysis in a rock musical,
“Dionysis Wants You,” based on
“The Bacchae,” at the Folger
Shakespeare Library in
Washington, D.C. He is currently
playing Henry David Thoreau in
the Carolina production of “The
Night Thoreau l^nt In Jail,”
and appeared last year in such
roles as Cocky in “The Roar Of
The Greasepaint, The Smell of
the Crowd.” Homer Foil of UNC
plays Rodregas, the matador’s
manager. A senior drama major,
he appeared this summer at the
Straw Hat Theater in Wilminton
and is currently appearing in
“Thoreau.”
Music for the show was com
posed by Miss Wonsavage and
Joe Byrne of Winston-Salem, who
also appears as the guitarist.
We’re Winning!
By RICK HALL
Watch out united grits of
Winston-Salem! There is an
undercover freak working amidst
the well-organized business
world at the Garment Care
Center. Somehow a well
camouflaged peace-antipoUution
germ has infiltrated the system.
While waiting behind three
automobiles occupied by grits, I
counted my change for the day-
cleaners. No leaflets of any
subversive literature were
distributed until my turn arrived.
While receiving my laundry, the
man looked around suspiciously
them told me to wait.
He snuck inside and returned
bearing two car decals. He thrust
them into my hand and I noticed
one said “Peace” and the other
had a dove and said “A Qeaner
World”. He leaned over quickly
and whispered: “Let’s fight it
together.”
I pulled up but waited to see
what he would do with the grit car
behind us. Nothing was said and
no leaflets were given. We have
another man!
