Gubernatorial Hopefuls Begin 1964 Campaign By DOLLY SMITH With Republican Congressman Charles R. Jonas’ formal resigna tion on October 26, from the guber natorial battle for nomination, there seems to be little, if any, hope for the Republican party in 1964 in North Carolina. Even though his resignation has dampened the spirits of the growing second party, some leaders have expressed the hopes of finding another candidate who can carry their party to victory. The only other Republican who has formally announced his candi dacy is State Rep. Donald Badgley of Guilford. However, opinions among Republican leaders reflect the possibility of the nomination of three other candidates in lieu of Badgley. Osteen—Possible Caitdidate One likely candidate is State Rep. William L. Osteen of Guilford, who has been the minority leader in the General Assembly for both the 1961 and 1963 sessions. Osteen has stated that he has two decisions to mull over before he can announce his candidacy. “First, I’ve got to decide whether I can run for any office next time. It’s a question of economics. And if I do. I’d like to do whatever I can to serve the peo ple of Guilford who have elected me to the House of Representatives in the past. I’ll have to be guided by how 1 can best repay the people here who have voted for me.” Osteen’s candidacy seems doubtful when considering the two other pos sible nominees. Gavin Evades Issue i The most likely candidate would b6 Robert Gavin of Sanford. Gavin, the GOP candidate who ran against Sanford in 1960, received more votes than any other Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina has ever received. How ever, Gavin has been evasive on the subject of his possible candi dacy. The second time around is always a rougher road to follow, and Gavin probably realizes this. (Continued on page 5) College Picks Nov. 21 For Annual Founders' Day Rev. Warren Carr, pastor of the Watts Street Baptist Church in Dur-: ham and a member of (he Meredith Board of Trustees, will be the guest speaker for the annual Founders’ Day to be observed Thursday, No vember 21. Classes will be discon tinued for the day at 10:20. At 11:00 Rev. Carr will address the student body, faculty, and guests. Reception in Afternoon During the afternoon the annual formal reception will be held in the Blue Parlor in Johnson Hall. At this time visitors, seniors, and mem bers of the faculty, and administra tion will be honored. Foreign Aid Question To Be Forum Topic A forum on the question of for eign aid is to be presented by the Meredith history department on No vember 13, from 7 to 8 p.m. in 103 Joyner. The panelists, mem bers of the history faculty, will use the book The Ugly American as a starting point in the discussion be cause of the author’s insights into foreign spending by the United States. The question of American dol lars spent to support dictatorships such countries as the Domini can Republic and Nationalist China, or countries whose ideologies are radically different from American thought, such as Yugoslavia and Viet Nam, will be considered. The ultimate question, as expressed by T. C. Parramore, instructor in the history department, is whether for eign aid should be used “to buy allies in the struggle against Com munism, or to raise the living stand ards of underdeveloped nations to the point where they can choose the kind of government favored by the majority.” In preparation for the discussion, the members of the history depart ment are urging students to read The Ugly American so that those who attend can participate in a dis cussion. History of Event According to Dr. Mary Lynch Johnson in A History of Meredith College, Founders' Day has been observed since 1909 and has "brought speakers who were North Carolinians or who were associated with the State intimately enough to know the background of the Col lege.” The first speaker was Henry Louis Smith then President of the University of Virginia and a native North Carolinian. He spoke on “Higher Education as a Field for Christian Philanthropy.” In 1910 when the legislature ratified the change of name to Meredith Col lege, John E. White spoke on Thom as Meredith. After the program, the students, faculty, trustees, and guests went to the City Cemetery, where after a short service, a wreath was laid on Thomas Meredith’s grave. Meredith Ensemble To Participate In November Concert Members of the Meredith Col lege Ensemble, will join with groups from St. Mary’s, Peace, and UNC-R, to participate in one of the pro grams in the Friends of the Col lege Concert Series to be presented on November 14, at 8:00 p.m. The four groups will be combined with the Schola Cantorum touring chorus and will be accompanied by the Duke Symphony Orchestra. The program consists of Salomon, an oratoric by Handel; Candtde, an operetta by Leonard Bernstein; and "The Cryes of London,” a 16th cen tury humorous fantasy by Orlando Gibbons. Members of the Meredith College Ensemble are Mary Lyon McKenncy, Betty Garvey, Betsy Boone, Cindy Swayne, Polly Finan, iTrish Walker, Sarah Parker, Agnes ‘ Yelton, Elizabeth Holland, Nancy Sue Buffaloe, Nancy Godwin, Pris Macomber, and Margaret Simmons. Miss Beatrice Donley is the director. Theater Outline Begins to Take Shape TPia - r 1 .. . . . ■ The pouring of the concrete foun dation for the first row of seats has marked the beginning of construc tion on the amphitheater which was designed last spring to be built with the lake on front campus. Con struction on the project will pro ceed this winter as weather permits. Plans for the Elva Bryan Mc- Iver Amphitheater and the sur rounding area include a structure with a seating capacity of 1,200 to 1,500 people in front of a stage which is to be erected on the cir- Wvrk on Ibe Mclver Amphitheater begins as bulldozers prepare the ground for Ihe pouring of coucrele. cular island at the west end of the lake. Electric lighting throughout the area, and a system of walk ways to and around the amphitheater are also planned, ^ats will be built on the hillside beginning three feet from the water and at a level four or five feet lower than the stage. Brick will be used in this construction of the rows of seats. The island stage is to be surrounded by a row of creosoted posts and will be made accessible by two bridges, one on each side to the rear of the stage. There are plans for a band shell to be erected behind the stage at a later date. In the future the entire lake area is to be developed into an attrac tive rccreation area. When the lake fills, the water level will be approxi mately one foot around the stage is land to twelve feet at the opposite end of the lake. Several small springs in the island area feed the lake. Approximately a year will be re quired for the lake to fill. Indefinite plans for development of the sec ond island exist. Construction of a bridge, walks, and a gazebo on the island has been proposed for some future time.
