gets called in for interviews.”
“Of course, you’ll need a resume and
picture. The picture should be very good,
natural, and should look like you. The
resume should be very brief, with only
the very important items listed. Don’t lie.
View your inexperience and individuality
as an asset,” she said.
“IN INTERVIEWS don’t be hesitant
about mentioning mutual acquaintances
you might know. Even people in the
department, like Mollie Murray, who
have done a lot of work on and off
Broadway are known by people who will
be interviewing you. Be perky and
cheerful. Have at least one business
outfit that makes you look like a million
for interviews,” Ms. Reehling said.
Ms. Reehling ended her visit with
drama students with the warning, “Most
important, don’t make acting
everything. It’s necessary to have other
interests. Stay away from depressing
situations and people.”
After two hours with Joyce Reehling,
one could begin to feel the awesome task
facing a would-be acter. And one could
see why Ms. Reehling is making it.

Joyce Reehling is an NCSA graduate
(1972) from the drama department who
went to New York City to be an actress.
After two years of frustrations,
auditions, agents, waiting, and working
with an answering service, she has begun
to work as an actress. It has been a two
year struggle, and she learned much that
would be of benefit to drama students.
Ms. Reehling is presently working in up
state New York at a dinner theatre.
Ms. Reehling is living at the Rehearsal
Club, and exclusive boarding house for
young performing actresses. She has just
come from Florida where she played the
part of Myrtle-Mae in “Harvey” with Gig
Young, at a dinner theatre.
Ms. Reehling was back at NCSA for
only two days in January. But she gave
out an abundance of information to
students. She answered questions on
every facet of acting. Here are some of
her comments.
Ms. Reehling does not recommend
going to New York City with less than

$1000. “It will take three months to learn
the city, agents, and the lifestyle. Try to
live with a friend during that time if
possible. You won’t have time to work at
anything else.”
“DON’T WORRY about an agent. You
can’t get one until after you’ve landed
that first job anyway. It is important to
get a workshop. Interviews with agents
don’t show your acting ability.
Workshops do. Keep track of good
directors and watch for their
workshops,” Ms. Reehling said.
Ms. Reehling advised, “Go to open
auditions. Don’t expect to get a job; but
the practice is necessary. Always be
friendly to everyone. You never know

proposed tuition and fees, along with a
comparison of prices for this year follow
the article.
In fact, according to Martin Sokoloff,
vice-chancellor, the new rates have
already been approved by the Board of
Trustees, and will definitely go into effect
next year.
The reason, Sokoloff said, is that “the
auxiliary budget, meaning the cafeteria
and dormitories, is in trouble.” There are
no state funds allocated for cafeteria
services or for maintaining the dorms.
Both of these are solely dependent on
“receipts”, in other words, money
brought in by dorm rentals and fees! This
year fewer students live on campus, and
accordingly, fewer students eat in the
cafeteria.
“BY RAISING FEES,” Sokoloff in
cluded, “we hope to avoid a deficit in
next years budget. This year we took
care of the deficit by giving the students
an extra two weeks vacation.” Sokoloff
also expressed his obvious desire to
prevent using this solution for next year.
Of course that intangible evil known as
inflation is a very real factor. As Ruark
put it, the advisors to President Ford are
predicting a 12 per cent rise in inflation
for this coming year. In the past two
years, inflation rose 18 per cent. That
means a possible inflation of 30 per cent
in a 36 month period!
“Inflation is reducing a parents’ ability
to pay,” states Ruark. He suggests,
however, “any student who applied last
year, but did not qualify, may now show
or demonstrate a need for next year.”
Ruark further recommended that
students and parents write their
congressmen and thank them for their
past support and urge them to vote to
continue Basic and Supplementary
Opportunity Grant programs, and
National Direct Student I>oans. These
programs are in danger of being cut back
or discontinued. He even added, “Strictly
from a financial standpoint, it might be a
good idea for a student to forego the
summer session, that is if he is not behind
schedule in his requirements, for his
degree or his certificate, to save that
expense and have a chance to earn
money from a summer job.” Ruark
welcomes students to come in foi
financial, aid, information and advice.

Sales negotiations have begun between
the University of North Carolina and the
owners of the Design and production
scene shop and “Sam’s Place”, D & P’s
multi-purpose lighting and prop shop.
The school Foundation presently owns
the Scene shop and rents part of the
building known as “Sam’s Place”. Sam
Stone, director of development, said,
“The state has decided to buy the two
buildings.” He added that he hopes the
Foundation can get $30,000 for the scene
shop, which is what was paid for it, plus
what has been put into renovations. He
did not know what might be paid for
Sam’s Place.
Asked to comment, John Sneden, dean
of D & P, said, “I am very happy that
discussions have started on acquiring the
shops.” Sneden said he did not know the
status of the negotiations. “I was notified
that discussions would begin at the
beginning of the year. Aside from that, I
don’t know how far along they are.”

Skiing, what a wonderful sport. Where else can you spend your
money, no small sum, and get very little in time of sheer fun and
exercise and yet not be the least bit bitter about it? In the
southeast, this seems to be the case with skiing.
I started skiing about three years ago. My basic beginning
including suitable clothing, rental equipment and lessons,
including one very enlightening lesson with Jean Claude Killey,
set me back about 150 bucks.
At that point I was a pretty decent skier. The next step was to
buy boots, poles, bindings and skis. The approximate cost of
these items was 300 bucks. That investment keeps you from evei
having to rent your equipment again. I figure it will take about
30 skiing trips for all this equipment to pay for itself, and I hope
like hell it lasts that long.
While on the subject of equipment, it might be good to inform
you on the state of the art. Short skis, those under five feet, seem
to be the most popular in the southeast because of the icy
conditions and the short skis’ ability to cope with them. I prefer
long skis because they are much faster.
The bindings which hold the boot to the ski and in hard falls
release you from the ski, thus keeping you from such nasty
things as broken legs, should be the best you can afford. 1

recommend the “Look Nevada” brand, as it is probably the
safest binding made at any price. Boots should provide good
support and keep your feet dry. Poles are not really important.
The only thing to think about when buying poles is that they are
the proper size.
IN THE SOUTHEAST the conditions are, on the average,
strictly from hunger. The slopes are usually slushy in the
daytime and icy at night. Once in a blue moon, they have some
powder. When the conditions are right, you may have to stand in
line for an hour or two.
When you do get out on the slopes, you find out everything
you’ve ever heard about the slopes in the southeast is
true. They are short, the longest run being about one and a half
miles, and narrow. One man told me he got more skiing done in
one day at Vail, Col., than he could get done in a whole season at
Beech Mountain, N.C. ^
With all the bad things about skiing here, I cannot say'that I
am the least bit bitter towards this recreation. I feel a great
freedom and relaxation when skiing. It helps me forget all my
problems for a time. These things make the problems facing the
average skier rather petty. Isn’t it wonderful.
