PAGE 4 — THE DECREE — FEBRUARY 26.1988 VISITING SPEAKER — Dr. David Jones (right), chairman of the Spring Symposium, makes a point to Feb. 17 speaker Ferrell Guillory, associate editor of the News and Observer. Students hear Becton Wesleyan College Players to perform one-act plays (Continued from Page 1) by a dangerous artificial consesus. Both of these attributes eradicate any unwanted changes or usurpation. Becton expanded on two more issues. He praised the role of the Wesleyan group Soes on ski trip On Jan. 30-31, several Wesleyan students went skiing at the Massanut- ten Resort near Harrisonburg, Va. Those who participated were Jason Barrios, Kenny Bowers, Lee Brick- house, Kari Kettner, Mac McCauley, Christina Nemetz, Greg Robbins, Eric Schreiber, and Chris Walters. The staff members who accompa nied tlie students on the trip were Pam Yourley, Director of Recrea tional Sports, and Anthony Rice, Director of Student Activities. The students considered the trip a great recreational experience. For some, it was their first time snow skiing and within hours they were all on tlic expert slopes. Another ski trip, a day trip to the North Carolina mountains, was planned for last Sunday. Supreme Court and articulated on the underlying intention of the Constitution. The Framers had the foresight to know that their docu ment, in order to be successful, must be competently interpreted. For this pujxjse, the judicial branch of gov ernment took a strong role in inter preting the Constitution for the good of society as a whole. Finally, the basic premise of the Constitution is not to provide a code of life, but rather to provide a philosophy of life that revolves around liberty. The final topic covered by Judge Becton was possible threats to the Constitution. One example is the precarious growth of power in the executive branch of government. The weakening of political paries poses a second obstacle. Unlike the contrast ing two-party system originally char acteristic of American politics, there has been a recent lessening of party consciousness in contemporary American society. The strength of Becton’s reason ing came from eight conclusions drawn about why the Constitution is still a healthy, working prototype legal document. He rounded out the argument by pointing out viable threats to the future prosperity of the Constitution. The North Carolina Wesleyan College Players are presenting “Jk. Night of OnQ Acts” tonight and to-, morrow night at 8 p.m. The pyerforinartce of three one-act plays is highlighted by two plays written by members of the Wesleyan community. “Man in the Pine-Striped Uni verse” was written by Matt McKown, a junior from Charlot tesville, Va. According to Vaughn Schutz, director of the theatre, the play is about the rights of patients and the issue of doctors playing God. Freshman Alan Felton plays the Doctor, John Cradle is the patient, and Halie Hendricks plays a nurse. McKown is also directing the pro duction. “Non-Threatening Behavior” was written by Dr. Steve Ferebee, assistant professor of English and director of the Honors Program. Schutz, who directs this one-act play, says “Non-Threatening Behavior” is an interesting character study with a political statement. Sophomore Max ine Dwyer, who has the lead role, and Ferebee both make their NCWC act ing debuts. Finally, the evening closes with “The Duck Variations” by David Mamet, a comedy about 14 vari ations of two old men talking about dilcks. Also directed by Schutz, “The A Trivial Pursuit Tournament was held on Feb. 7 in Nash and North Residence Halls. The games were played using teams of two.
