LEADERSHIP RETREAT The second annual Student Leadership Development Retreat was held at the Blowing Rock Assembly Grounds during the early part of the fall semester. Sixty-eight people particpated in the event. The participants were students, faculty members, and staff members. Those at the retreat wrote poetry, sang songs, viewed films on motivation, shared understandings of self-concept, and generally enjoyed time together. Sue Shirley of the Leadership Development Institute of Oklahoma City was the retreat leader. The Student Government Association, Student Affairs office, Program Board, the Broyhill Institute, and the Lineberger Center helped underwrite the retreat. The retreat was followed up with a convocation on the subject of leadership on Monday after the retreat. 26 On Campus

MOCK DEBATE- One of the forums held in the fall was a mock Presidential Debate. Dr. Lowell Ashman of the Political Science Department organized this event. The purpose of the debate was to arouse student interest in the national election. In previous years, such an event was spon- sored with faculty members playing the roles of the candidates; however, Dr. Ashman felt that it would be interesting to have politically active students pose as the candidates in this year ' s de- bate. The actors in the debate were as follows: Debate Moderator — Dr. Lowell Ashman; Ronald Reagan — Adam Draper; Walter Mondale — Luther Faggart; George Bush — David Charlton; and Geraldine Ferraro — Laura Oehler. Each of the four candidates had an opportunity to present his her ideas and proposals. A question and answer period with the audience followed these presentations. The debate was well attended by students and faculty. Audience participation during the event was very enthusiastic.

ANTIGONE Antigone, the Lenoir- Rhyne Playmakers ' first production of the year transformed the Belk Centrum into a modern day Nicaragua. The walls were decorated with graffiti such as Viva Creon. The buildings used as props were quite shabby which lead the viewer to believe that the buildings had been bombed. Armed guards dressed in army fatigues patrolled the area checking passports. This version of the play was successful in giving a Classical Greek Tragedy a relevant meaning in today ' s world. 1 . , . .Jeremy Fisher i . . .Cathy Butler tBeth Westbrook r. . .
