Collecting and preserving American tra ditional music had been a hob by with Warner; in fact, his efforts have lead to the pop ularization of such songs as “Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley”, “Blue Mountain Lake,” Gilgarry Mountain,” and “The Jolly Roving Tar.” Accompaning himself with a banjo, Mr. Warner brings tothe stage undoctored folk music with all of its vitality.

In recent weeks a student com Mr. Frank Warner, American folk song collector, will appear on the Wesleyan campus February 15. mittee made up by Bob Ledya, Ed Gunter, Joan Martin, He len Volk, Linda Williams, Ele anor Chamlee, Pam Walston, Phyllis Patterson, Diane Law ler, Deans Cordts and Alex ander has been workingwiththe Dean of Students’ office to eli minate restrictions on womep residents. The S. G. A. con ducted a poll late last semester and data was assembled and ev aluated ' by the student com mittee and the adminstration. The new changes are as fol lows: 1. Any time a woman re sident student expects to be away from the campus for two hours or more after 7 p.m., she must sign out. H she dis covers after leaving the cam pus that she will be gone for a longer period than originally planned, she shall telephone her Resident Counselor or ARC to sign her out. 2. For overnight absences from campus, the resident will complete a standardized card and leave it in a sealed en velope, to be opened only in cases of emergency, and may be retrieved by the student up on her return. 3. The scheduling of open house is left to the discre tion of each residence hall, on a term basis, to be ratified by a 3/4 majority vote in se cret ballot of all residents in the residence hall. The sche dule with appropriate guide lines, as approved by the Dean of Students, will be registered and published by the Dean of Students’ Office. It has been proposed that wo men sign acardstatingtheywill be out until 2:00 a.m. in or der to determine the number of girls using the 1-2 a.m. hours. rhysical Education: Could students Plan Recruitment; This Field Be Creative? New Program Underway When a Wesleyan student states that he is dissatisfied and dismayed with physical ed ucation, he usually believes there is nothing that he can do to improve the situation. This semester proved that a determined student can over come the barriers of apathy and red-tape to create an interest ing physical education course. One of the newest and most exciting courses offered this semester is entitled “Group Studies: Judo and Self De fense.” John Beier, a junior biology major, conceived the idea of teaching the course during last summer since (in his words) “I was rather dis illusioned with typical P.E.” Group studies was created last summer when John Beier and Doug Yarnold began to spe culate whether or not the col lege would allow such a course. After preliminary research, signatures of interested stu dents were gathered, and John went to Dr. Bauer. Dr. Bau er stated that a catalogue de scription, a course outline, and a summary of objectives would be necessary to install the course into the winter term schedule. Though little stu dent response was expected, the process of creating the self- defense course was completed. At the beginning of the cur rent semester, fifty students had enrolled for this new course. However, due to con flicts in individual schedules, there are now eighteen students enrolled in the course. These eighteen students-while study ing judo, karate, yoga, and ju- jitsu-are developing an ap preciation of the Oriental mar tial arts. One obvious benefit of John’s course is the fact that a variety of defense forms are being offered. Many schools specialize only in either ka rate, judo, of yoga, leaving a student without a knowledge of other forms. When I questioned John about his course, he described his group studies as a step in “creative physical education,” After listening to criticism in and out of the physical educa tion department, the opinion of Wesleyan students is that crea tive physical education must mean more than the same ex ercise in every course, more than disinterested students playing uninteresting competi tive games, and more than (Continued on Page 2) A group of students from North Carolina Wesleyan Col lege, because of the impend ing financial crisis that the school is in, have started one of the first student recruitment programs ever in the United States. In a discussion with Dr. Col lins, students were told that many things they want done can not be done because of the financial state of the college. The discussion, prompted by the possible loss of two highly re garded instructors, delivered into other phases of the school’s life, and questions about the school’s future crept into the talk, Collins said that if the enrollment of the college rose, even by as many as fifty stu dents, that doors would remain open and students could receive some of the benefits they ask mMBr •ry~>ci,n Allen Winter Elected New President Of ADX John Beier, instructor for the physical education group' studies, demonstrates karate movements. Allen Winter, co-writer of “Over Troubled Water,” was elected president of the Bro therhood of Alpha Delta Chi last week. Winter, a junior, math major, will serve as Pre sident for a one year term. Se cond position went to Doug Ko- zlowski, who was elected vice president. The office of se cretary was given toAllen Per ry, and Tom Swartz was ele cted treasurer. Though there are other offices to fill, the remaining positions will be ap pointed by the president. After the recent Rush Pe riod was concluded, the pledges of Alpha Delta Chi elected of ficers, Chip Sewell was ele cted President of the 1972 Pledge Class. The vice-pre sident is Bob Thompson, while Lewis Graves will serve as treasurer. Mat Harris is the pledge class secretary. Alpha Delta Chi is Wes- leyan’s oldest social fraternity, established in 1965 and char tered in 1967. The sole pur pose 01 this brotherhood is to improve Wesleyan social life and to better the college com munity. for. Students-Doug Cook, Ju lie Robinson, Tom Hardison, Dennis Hyack, and Ed Gunter, SGA Vice-President--met to discuss the possibilities of a student led recruitment ser vice. These students thought out and planned the basic found ation of the service and pre sented it to Dr, Collins with fairly favorable results. Stu dents were told of the impend ing action and were asked for help by Cook at the Convo cation meeting of the student body. Students were asked to write letters to friends at home and to their high school guidance counselors asking to come and talk to interested students dur ing the college’s February break. Working in conjunction with admissions director , William Garlow and with members of the admissions staff, student lead ers have been supplied with all necessary literature and infor mation concerning the college. Collins, Garlow, and other members of the administration of the school are now review ing the students’ plans and may come up with some sort of monetary “reward” for stu dents who are able to recruit freshmen to Wesleyan. Tom Hardison and Neal Ro per were two of the first stu dents out to recruit. Travel ing to Durham, N. C,, they did not meet with much success, “''t was more or less a dry run,” said Hardison, “We learned what to expect from high school administrators and (Continued On Page 3)
