Dorm Regulations
To Be Questioned
Students of Wesleyan College
were given the opportunity to
express their opinions of dor
mitory rules last week. In a
survey prepared by a Senate
approved committee in co
operation with Mr. Brackett and
the Dean of Students Office,
all resident females and many
resident males completed an
eighteen question survey.
The survey questioned stu-
Library Hours
Change Nov. 7
The Wesleyan Library will
extend its week end hours be
ginning in November. Effective
November 7, the library will
be open from 1-4:30 p.m. each
Saturday until the end of the
fall semester except during
Thanksgiving holidays.
Thelibrary will continue to be
open from 6:30-10 p.m. on Fri
day throughout the semester.
Librarian A. W. Stewart stated
that hours were being extend
ed in response to requests from
students. “Whether these hours
are continued indefinitely will
depend upon student use of the
library,” he said.
Library hours are posted on
the front and rear doors of the
library.
dent opinion on matters like
women’s sign-in and sign-out
procedure, dormitory hours,
late premission, and open
house. The purpose of the sur
vey was to aid the Dormitory
Rule Committee in its deci
sions in the formation of bet
ter and more up to dormitory
rules. Members of the Com
mittee are Becky Frankel, Joan
Martin, the four dormitory pre
sidents and the four dormitory
councils.
Response to the survey has
been good. It was reported to
Senate President Ed Gunter
that after 24 hours 60% of
Edgecombe had responded. The
other dormitories reported si-
miliar progress. Members of
the SGA were noted as extreme
ly happy because of the returns.
Bob Leyda, President of the
SGA, discussed last year some
glaring holes within the pre
sent code of rules. From this
survey, it is hoped that not only
may the holes be patched; but
a totally new system may re
place the old patched-up code
of conduct.
After the surveys have been
read and compared, the results
will be reported to the Senate
with the Committee’s propo
sals. These proposals will
be voted on and passed on to
the proper Administrative of
fices. Hopefully, the new pro
posals will be with the Ad
ministration before Thanksgiv
ing recess. The Senate will be
informing the Student body as
often as the need arises.
Trustees Pass Patio
30,000 Bricks
Donated By Board
By TOM HARDISON
The proposed patio, at the
rear of the Student Union is
well on its way being built,
according to Bob Leyda, Stu
dent Government Association
President, construction will
“probably . . . begin in the early
spring. That is if students ap
prove the construction.”
The patio has gained Trustee
Committee approval, has pro
bable funding and the Patio
Committee has had several of
fers for materials and labor.
The money needed for ac
tual construction is still a ques
tion at present, but a good idea
of the cost can be estimated
from the fact that the cement
base alone will cost between
$600-$700.
The money will probably
come from the Senate Matching
Fund, which receives money
from the pool tables on campus.
At present the Student Match-

BLUE PRINT OF PATIO; The patio to be built directly behind
the S. U. will be enclosed by a wall on three sides. The North
side will be left open as an entrance. A drained floor will be
built of brick in the pattern represented by the blueprint. The
two man hole covers may be utilized in the future for electri
cal and telephone service.
ing Fund has to its credit appro
ximately $3000.
The idea for a student patio
has been discussed for many
years but the most recent action
has been taken due to last
year’s student government
election at which time Allen
Winter used the idea of a pa
tio in his campaign.
^Man For All Seasons’
Entered In Festival
The Southeastern region tops
the nation in number of play
productions entered in the an
nual American College Theatre
Festival, according to Mark R.
Sumner, regional director of the
nation wide event and director
of the Institute of Outdoor Dra
ma at the University of North
Carolina here.
Thirty-five play productions
from the 10 southeastern states
are entered in the festival. Na
tionally, 226 colleges and uni
versities are participating.
The American College Theat
re Festival selects top grade
collegiate productions for a se
ries of regional festivals. With
10 play productions from
throughout the nation chosen
for presentation in Washington,
D. C. next spring, Sumner ex

Los Indies Tabajaras
To Appear Nov. 12
Los Indios Tabajaras To Appear On Campus
For more than fifteen years,
Los Indios Tabajaras have been
acclaimed on three continents
for their virtuoso playing on
two guitars.
Walking one day along a path
in the forest, Musaperi, the
third son, and Herundy, the next
oldest boy, came upon a guit
ar that had been abandoned. The
boys took it home and hid it
for some weeks.
Applying themselves to the
instrument, they learned to ac
company themselves in singing
their native songs.
What technique they had was
poor, but it was flashy. They
are philosophical about it now,
but at the time they were hurt
to learn that audiences listened
to them only to laugh at tlie
grotesque sounds they made.
For three years they appear
ed on such shows as Jimmy
Dean’s and Jack Paar’s; they
played fourteen shows on the
Arthur Godfrey show.
It happened totally unex
pectedly and completely by
chance. In the summer of 1963,
Mike Camito, producer of the
Klavan-Finch morning comedy
show in New York, came upon
their album while looking for

American National Theatre and
Academy in New' York and Am

ton. It is sponsored by Amer
ican Airlines.
“The purpose of the festi
val,” said Sumner, “is to fo
cus public attention upon the
tremendous service of college
and university theatres in keep
ing live theatre available
to communities across the na
tion and to stimulate high qual
ity performance standards as
well as educational standards.”
Four or five of the 35 play
productions entered in the
southeast will be selected for
the regional festival to be held
in the recently restored Opera
House in Abbeville, S. C., Jan
uary 13-17. One or more of
the regional festival pro
ductions will be invited to part
icipate in the Washington, D. C.
national festivities in May.
The judges have been atwork
since August, screening the
participating colleges and uni
versities under the auspices of
the Southeastern Theatre Con
ference. This preliminary
screening will not be complete
until mid-December.
N. C. Wesleyan Theatre will
present “A Man for All Sea
sons” November 5-7 as its con
testing production.
