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
