PAGE 4 THE DECREE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1970 ‘A Man Who Cannot Corrupt His Ideals’ (Continued From Page 3) changes and conversing in and out of character with the au dience, the Common Man takes on several roles including More’s steward, boatman, jail er, and executioner. Daniel Shepard says of his role, “He is everything that is intrinsic to everybody. I want to be a mirror to my audience—I am what is common to us all.” Concurrent with rehearsals have been hundreds of hours spent in the design and crea tion of staging and costumes. Though designed by Technical Director Richard Kagey, the building of the set and costumes was left to students, who have thereby created a wide spec trum of sixteenth century col or. Several aspects of this pro duction are new to Wesleyan FROM THE CimUiR FILE will THOMSON Last week’s beating of a Wes leyan student by off-campus “visitors” prompted me to con sider the details of the inci dent, and it raises some ques tions. Consider if you will, a room in one of Wesleyan’s dor mitories and place yourself next door, studying, perhaps. Sud denly you hear the sounds of thumps, screams and what sounds suspiciously likeabicy- cle chain against flesh. Do you leap to your feet and brave ly rush to the aid of your neigh bor who is obviously being man gled by “Hell’s Angles?” No, you keep on studying, knowing that it is only the gentle dia logue of two good friends on a quiet, evening. You hear it all the time, the sudden patter ing of feet down the hall, then a loud crack and an agonized scream; it’s only the guys doing their thing, letting off steam, nothing to be concern ed about ... and from up stairs there is the reassur ing sound of furniture being overturned and bodies crash ing to the floor . . . ahh, everything is just fine. Nine ty* nine and forty-four one hund redths of a per cent of the time you are right, but what about the other fifty-six hun dredths of the time? There may not be a next time, but there may be, and next time it could be you ... as you are mauled to a pulp by some body’s soccer team orfa drunk, would you want to hear from your neighbor: “Hey! Keep it down over there, willya?!” College Theatre. Instead of the traditional proscenium or thrust stage. Director Kagey has designed an arena stage, or, as it is often termed, thea tre in the round. In such an arrangement the audience is seated on all sides of the stage, and actors make their entrances from behind the audience. Ano ther WCT first is that during the May term A MAN FORALL SEASONS will be taken on tour by the Wesleyan Thespians. A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS promises perhaps to be the fin est work of theatre yet produc ed at Wesleyan. It is a fine play enacted by one of the better North Carolina troupes. Indeed there are those asso ciated with the production who see the possibility of national honors for Wesleyan’s presen tation of this show. It will at any rate be powerful, and will provide an evening of entertain ment. Though “entertainment” is a poor word—It will rather be an experience. A Fresh Look SAVE WITH GITIZEIS SAYiNCS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA 27801 And NASHVILLE, N. C. I retrieved my car from the shop again recently, this time forking over about a hundred and seventy-five dollars for some kind of transmission pro blem. The kind of problem that makes every gear but fourth screech and scream and gen erally cease to work. I put up with it a couple of weeks, but then I began to worry about the whole thing litteraly falling out at TUrrytown or at the local 7-11. So I got it fixed. Being a cheap philestine at heart the money naturally an gered me to the thought of sel ling it, which in turn made me think of what old Bird, my Sports Car buddie and an un related brother did when his MG midget started grinding like a giant via the transmis sion. Anyway, what he did was to stuff bananas into the trans mission. An old trick really, but it quieted down the old beast long enough to sell it to some Duke Professor with a degree in stupidity. So, back to the story; the thought of Banana Bird brought me to the memoirs, of our sporting in his Midget. We’d go tooling around town, generally driving in a reck less manner, and every time me and Bananas would pass another poor soul cramped in a sports car he would throw up his thumb (Continued On Page 5) O Tmn hii 130 SOUTH MAIN ST.
