Sneden's Performance Brilliant As Richard HI Wins Praise Last year, when the Playhouse presented "Cleopatra the critics shouted that they were happy to see culture enter into Eastern North Carolina. At the same time, they stated that it would be difficult in- I to surpass the Sh'ikesperean presentation. Last week, the Play- house again surprised the critics with "Richard III "Richard III" is a complex and difficult play relying heavily upon the actor portraying the king. John Sneden's performance surpassed all expectations He was brilliant. Mr. Sneden portrayed the cruel, some- time humorous king who climbed over bis victims to obtain the throne of England with professional dex- terity. As one critic stated, "His every gesture, grimace, movement was in keeping with the role, and the whole was dynamic and striking The persons responsible for his grotesque appearance are also to be commended. Supporting roles were also splen- did. A. E. Dubber. Robert Gooden, Sanford I'eele. Douglas Ray. Doug- las Mitchell. BrendJa Gamn, Rosalind Roulston. Billie White land Lola McDermott all did a fine job. The two young princes, Fred Irons and Bob Forbes were remarkable in their performance. However, we believe that the minor roles in the play had mom for im- provement. We hope we are not unjustly comparing these parts to the major roles, but we do believe the enunciation, facial expressions, and forgotten lines could have been corrected. John Sneden is to be congratulated for the brilliant set. The reality and simplicity of the sets was truly mag- nificent. We can also say, that in all the years we have been here. George Schreiber's lighting was by far the best. Although the children in the auditorium were delighted with the special effects cf the battle scene dreams and nightmares, the older set proved to enjoy them as much as they did. The costumes were another ex- citing aspect of the play. We were particularly impressed with the cope and mitre of the Airchbrshop of Can- terbury The reality of the cos- tumes added greatly to the play. To all of the east and crew, we thank you and commend you for your contribution to the culture of our region. 2east Caroliniantuesday, february 16, 1965 Appreciations Courses! How this school has prown is phenominal This has been said many times in many different ways. But, where is there a drastic lack of progress? Where are the points still sensitive to the pressure of moving, still further forward. One of these areas is the appreciation courses offered at East Carolina. This is specially referring to the Art and and Music Appreciation courses. Each quarter the same old cry is heard about campus. "Boy, how could I be doing so poorly in a course as simple as that Art 217 (or Music 120) ?" The EAST CAROLINIAN feels that there is an answer- to this question, and the answer is sipple. The courses are "crip There are several reasons for this conclusion . . . first, it is believed that these courses are ridiculously easy . . . and should be reevaluated. Second, these courses are a must in any kind of libral arts school . . . or any school for that mat- ter. And third, the need for boosting the intellectual level of these courses is a must if continuous progress is to be made in liberal arts education at this institution. How easy is ridiculously easy? This question may be answered by examples of why people do poorly on these courses. The person who is consciencious in his work may receive a good grade on the course without opening a book! The person who is at college for its intellectual values could easily do poorly on these courses because of a lack of interest he finds them boring. And the person who is in in college for a degree will cic poorly (because of lack of any effort) unless he is way down in quality points. In that case, he might study this course because he knows that it's worth a few quality points with little effort. Therefore, if you're a lazy student you may be lazy and do fairly well. If you're a worker, it is quite easy to become too bored to do well at all. What will it be . . . the devil or the deep blue sea?" Appreciation courses are a must. Everyone, especially a college graduate should know art and music to a certain ex- tent. Both are "universal languages" and both deal in the realm of history . . . generally and specifically. One glance at a law school entrance examination will show that these tests place a high emphasis on art and music. Therefore, the really well educated person knows a cer- tain amount about both art and history. The course at East Carolina are taken by the students as practically jokes and little sound knowledge is received by the students. Looking into the third statement concerning the ineffectiveness of these courses (the intellectual level of these courses must be boosted the extent of upgrading these courses may be dwelt upon. ; JIM Such appreciation courses should begin with an out- line of what the particular subject involves. This must in- clude vocabulary and basic assumptions. Then should come the history and a well outlined history . . . with names, dates or periods, styles and other related material. Of course, any appreciation course covers a multitude of names, places and things. But, there is also a certain amount of intellectual material which may be covered famous writings and theories . . . famous styles and modes . . . why certain ideas and works stand out. And, these subjects should be on a college level . . . need- less to say. Not any college level (because some colleges are down and out) but in keeping with EC progress. east Carolinian by the atodnte of Mmat CaroMn Carolina.
