Mrs. Vanderslice will return to the Business office to work. Mrs. Alexander of Rocky Mount, stated that she wished to provide the students with “home-cooked” meals.

Almost every type of vegetable is presented in the course of one week so that the various tastes may be satisfied. Selection'of food is restricted by the food allowance allotted by the school. Mrs. Alexander stated that she has no definite plans for food changes but is willing to hear sug gestions from the students but preferably through the Food Ser vices Committee headed by Della Reeves. She stated that she wished,to install a gradual change in the present cafeteria sys tem through the presentation of new entrees on the menu.

Players Present Bill of One Acts Following a year of great ac complishments in 1965, the Wes leyan players of Dr. David Bat- chellor and Mr. Llewellyn Rabby, are trying to set the pace once again in 1966 with a student di rected bill of one act plays to be presented Friday and Sat urday night, February 25 and 26 in Garber Chapel. In addition to attempting to score a success on campus, one of the plays will be selected to represent Wesleyan at the Caro lina Dramatic Association Com petition to be held in Raleigh on March 12 of this year. The Wes leyan Players represented the college in the competition for the last year with the produc tion Passion, Poison and petri fication by G. B. Shaw.

The first play, which is to be directed by Betty Bridgers, is an experimental play which de parts radically from the real istic entitled “Corridors of the Soul”. Ray O’Kelly is directing the second one act, a comedy, called “The Immovable Gordons”. The third plaj;, a farce, en titled “The End of the Beginning” is being dii'ected by Tom Hinte. The rehearsal and assembly for the production begins this week in Garber Chapel, where, along with the usual taste of. technical production, a new stage is being constructed and it is hoped that its completion will be late next week, in time for its use in the Bill of One Acts. It will be announced shortly where and when tickets may be acquired for the production.

Photo by Horrocks The staff of the Aspects, Wesleyan’s literary magazine, recently held elections for Ed- itor-in-Chief and Assistant Ed itor. Doug Groseclose was elec ted as the new Editor-in-chief until the Spring semester of next year, Lorrie Alligood was elec ted Assistant Editor for the same period of time. While talking to the new Editor he said, “The next issue is tentatively sch eduled to appear In late April or early May and will be chang ed quite a bit from past issues. I hope there will be more short stories, poems, art work, and fewer analytical papers. I’m not saying that these papers are bad, but I do think a magazine like Aspects should be primar ily a display of the literary arts such as poetry and short stories. These papers have of ten been published, in the past, because of a lack of other ma terial, we hope to alleviate this problem through the writing con test we are now holding.” Aspects is currently spon- soring a writing contest with cash prizes going to the winner in each of the two major catagories. Poetry and J>rose. Anonymous Gift An anonymous gift of $5,500 was received by Wesleyan Col lege recently, stated Dr. Allen F. Cordts, Director of Develop ment.
