This very successful first show gave promise of a bright future for the two. Students Gripe About Work, Claim Conflicts With Play By MARY PICKERING It is fairly common at Duke, and probably at most colleges and uni- versities, to hear students bewailing the fact that college has not lived up to their expectations --4 that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be espe- cially m the rea’'™ -* intellectual stimulation. Or if this is not what is bothering them, they complain about the other extreme—that ail the work involved in a college edu- cation is interfering with their hav- 2 good time. f the members of both of roups, however, have some- i n common—a vague feeling of conte whose source they can- d whose power does not yielc y persuasion. So they complain, but have they ever stop- ped to think that at least part of their discontent may be within their own power to change? Pascal said that all men’s unhap- piness comes from not knowing how to stay alone in a room with pleas- ure, and this is still applicable to the situation of the modern college student. Most of us are ‘always run- ning so fast that nothing we hear in classes or otherwise exposed to can catch up with us and make an imprint. How do we know that we cannot become interested in anything?

If interested phone PL 8-1570. why should our studies, as well as our extra (activities, not provide pleasure? Perhaps the answer is that we do not iknow ourselves well enough to know what we really like. We are so busy pourimg out- side influences in to keep them oc- cupied that we do not know what stoves they contain uf themselves. Vee do not know what we think; therefore, we do not know how to react, or else we react badly, to outside stimuli. And then we won- der why we sare continually fighting a gnawing feeling of dissatisfaction. Remember all the times that you have crammed in facts before a test, mechanically memorizing, and then have written them down as unques- tioned Gospel iat the time that they were helping to fill up a few more lines in your blue book? In Pascal’s time, the men who could not use the resources of their minds went off to war, or engaged in senseless quarrels and useless en- terprises. Since we \are much more sophisticated than the eleventh century, however, we play bridge until our eyes iare ready to fall out, or gossip about nothing, dash off to some movie when we have time en our hands. Anything to keep from staring at those four walls! And then we re- turn to our studies, not knowing our- selves any better, parrotine the same old ideas, ‘and only permitting what we think ourselves be ar- face of our thinking. We even let what we think our ourselves be ar- bitrarily decided for us by others’ reactions to us. I would like to propose that you try this creative silence. I dare you. Don’t talk constantly, but spend some time alone exploring your own thoughts so that when you do talk, you will have something to say. Try taking ian extra step beyond the bare minimum required for your assignments. As one character in The Glass Menagerie says, ‘Stop going to the movies and _ start moving.”’ Don’t be always acted upon; do some acting of your own. It probably won’t be easy a tfirst, but if you keep at it, you may be surprised and pleased with what happens. ‘The Sixth Year Premieres At R By GEORGE SAMPEDRO and BECKY HOBGOOD Friday night at the Rathskellar marked the premier performance of “The Sixth Year Followers. Serving a potpourri of rafter-ringing folk music liberally seasoned W it blues and salted with crusty humor, set the mood of the evening. _ It became evident from the first number played, that the two balla- diers were not only good vocalist, and original humorists, but _also excellent instrumental technicians. Bill Stinson playing his twelve strmg and six string guitars with equal skill and acility and Dan Dunaway playing the six string guitar and the harmonica, ranged from one end of the emotional svectrum to the other. With a touch of _melan- choly (The High Flvin~ Bird), a touch of blues (The San Francisco Bay Blues), and a splash of brilliant joy (Dance Me a Jig) and other such numbers the two singers held their audience in complete sway. Particularly exciting was the group’s swift chans- of pace and mood. The boys shifted from the intricate rhythms of flaminco styles, to the beautiful melodys of true folk music to the thrilling power of Stinson’s special ‘‘What a Mighty Storm.”’ Bill Stinson, organizer of the ‘‘Sixth Year Followers,’’ was formerly with the ‘‘Blue Rain Singers” who ap- peared at the Rath last year in a similar program. He hes been play- ing the guitar for six years. He plays the six string guitar and is well know for his interpretation of the twelve string guitar. : Bill, a freshman from Raleigh, Santa Skips EC In 1964 By CLARA KATSIAS Staff Writer Santa Claus is not coming to East Carolina this year because we have all been bad.
