Mime Actor
Due Here
Pantomime artist Frans Reyn-
ders will add a new dimension to
the college lyceum series when he
performs in Moore Auditorium at
8 p.m. Monday.
The Dutch-horn mime is one
of a mere handful of skilled art
ists considered outstanding prac
titioners in the world today. He
studied with Etienne Decroux,
foremost master of the modern
mime and teacher of other great
performers such as Jean-Louis
Barrault and Marcel Marceau.
Early in 1960 Reynders joined
the Springfield, Mass., Symphony
Orchestra to give a world pre
miere performance of mime and
orchestra. He mimed the part
of Till in the Richard Strauss
tone-poem, “The Merry Pranks
of Till Eulenspiegel.”
Critics praised the production
highly and cited Reynders’ per
formance as “marked by agility,
flexibility and wit.”
In the spring of 1964 Reynders
was featured in “An Essay on
Doors” on the CBS-TV series
“One of a Kind.” His perform
ance was rated by noted critic
Jack Gould as “superb.”
Since 1959 Reynders has been
visiting American college cam
puses under the auspices of the
arts program of the Association
of American Colleges.
His performances include,
from his orginal repertory, such
favorites as “Counterpoint, Adam
and Eve, The Bird, Man at the
Table, Samson and the Lion.”
Pantomime is an art which
throws the entire burden on the
expressiveness of body and face
in the performer, without aid of
colorful costumes, settings, lan
guages or dance.
It is a subtle and graceful art.
The mime never really imitates a
character, but rather he suggests
or caricatures.

Comet-Watchers Struggle
With Cold, Sleeplessness
The Ikeya-Seki comet, which
has been receiving international
attention the last three weeks, was
clearly visible here last weekend
and enticed more than a hundred
Mars Hillians out before dawn
on Friday (Oct. 29), Saturday
and Sunday mornings to see it.
A large delegation of students,
accompanied by Dean Mary Lo
gan, Chaplain Robert Melvin and
Biologist Joe Taylor, climbed
Little Mountain between 4:45 and
6:00 a.m. Saturday in sub-freez
ing temperatures to witness the
spectacle.
Perry White and Eric Black-
well saved themselves the walk
up that morning by camping on
the mountain all night.
One sleepy coed obviously ex
pected something quite different
from what she saw of the comet.
“Aw shucks,” she yawned, “it
just looks like somebody is stand
ing over behind the mountains
SGA Studying
Coffee Shop Bid
A non-profit, student-operated
coffee shop in Mars Hill has
moved a step closer to reality
through recent discussions and
planning by the Student Govern
ment Association.
A student committee has been
appointed to work out the prob
lems involved and to bring a re
port to the Senate.
The movement came after sev
eral students and faculty mem
bers expressed an interest in see
ing such an establishment opened.
The shop is visualized as providing
a place in which art students
may exhibit their work, talented
members of the student body may
perform and faculty members
and students can meet in a re
laxed and informal atmosphere.
On-campus entertainment also
has commanded SGA attention
at recent meetings. Seven stu
dents were appointed to the Ac
tivities Committee, which also
comprises faculty members and
which plans the entertainment
schedule for next year. The new
student members are Andy Good,
Troy Parham, Bill Carter, Mary
Oxentine, Candy Coles, Cammy
McDonald and Don Delk. They
are open for suggestions.
A good deal of discussion and
planning at recent SGA meetings
has been directed toward spon
sorship of a train trip to the
Maryville game tonight. Presi
dent Chris Pappas and other SGA
leaders have coordinated the en
tire affair, and the SGA and
each of the classes have backed
the project with financial con
tributions.
The elections committee of
SGA is currently working out de
tails of the forthcoming election
of freshman class officers.
shining a big flashlight into the
sky.”
Another delegation viewed
from behind Coach Harrell
Wood’s house on “Copperhead
Ridge.”
Amateur astronomer Sam Nar-
kinsky had studied the comet the
previous morning through his
telescope and shared the view
with Dr. John Pyle, Dr. Ellison
Jenkins and several other inter
ested persons.
One brave delegation returned
to Little Mountain Sunday morn
ing for another look and were re
warded by a bonus display. A
huge meteorite streaked over
head as they watched, lighting
the whole sky.
The comet—10 million miles
long—was discovered by Japan
ese scientists. It attracted inter
national attention Oct. 20-22 as
it streaked toward the sun.
Soviet astronomers predicted
it would be drawn into the sun
and destroyed, but the awesome
thing reached its closest point to
the sun and sped away appar
ently without mishap.
During the time it was streak
ing toward the sun the comet
was clearly visible just before
dawn and just after sunset; how
ever, a cloud cover in the Mars
Hill area prevented more than
mere glimpses of it. Last week
end, however, the solar spectacle
was still showing when skies
cleared over Mars Hill and condi
tions for viewing became ideal.
Business Class
Has Field Trip
An informative field trip to
Charlotte was made recently by
about 40 students from Dr. Ro
man Gorski’s classes in Money
and Banking and Personal Fi
nance.
The visit included lecture tours
of the Charlotte Branch of the
Federal Reserve Bank, the broker
age house of Bache & Co. and
the N. C. National Bank.
The business administration
students saw a film on the de
velopment of the banking system
in the United States, watched
clearing house operations, had a
brief description of the trading
in U. S. government securities
and municipal' bonds and went
through the vaults of the Federal
Reserve Bank.
They watched the process of
destruction of old currency, were
guided through the meeting room
of the board of directors and got
a summary of open market oper-
tions, the buying and selling of
bonds.
Social Service Club Inducts Eight
Sigma Kappa Lambda, men’s
social service club, has just com
pleted its fall term rush week
and has inducted the following
new members to make its full
quota of 26:
Freshmen Bob Suttenfield, Ted
Taylor, Bob Templeton, James
Wiles and Bob Gillespie and
junior Henry Zion.
The club has been busy in re
cent weeks with service projects
in the community and on the
campus. Another such project
and a formal banquet are on
schedule for next Saturday, Nov.
13. The club members will be
hosts to a couple of hundred
youngsters visiting the campus
that day. The boys, members of
Royal Ambassador chapters in
Baptist churches throughout the
western half of the state, will
be getting a taste of college life.
The SKL members will conduct
a briefing for the RA’s and guide
them on a tour of the campus.
The visitors will be guests of the
college at the football game that
afternoon.
