When the Departments of Music and Theatre joined forces to produce Moiiere ' s The Bourgeois Gentleman, they made beautiful music (and drama) together. The Bourgeois Gentleman, a joint creation of playwright Jean- Baptiste Poguelin(Moliere) and composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, is a musi- cal comedy which was originally produced as court entertainment for King Louis XIV in the 17th century. The play explores what happens when a common tradesman attempts to transform himself into a gentle- man by hiring a team of tutors who, in the end, only succeed in making him look like an idiot. This is a common theme throughout Moiiere ' s works, said Jim Davis, the play ' s director. When we pretend to be more that we are, we usually end up looking foolish. Although, according to Mr. Davis, the play is rarely performed in this country, it seemed a logical choice for the spring production. First of all, Moliere is studied by colleges and high schools all over. Second, we needed something that would accommodate a lot of students. Dr. Tom Ed Moore, assistant professor of music and producer of YuleFest for the past two years, is no stranger to campus drama. You might remember his cameo as Dr. Morris ' s shade-wearing spiritual advis- er in All Over Tbwn last year. This year, he worked behind the scenes as music director (and harpsichord player). This was much more difficult than YuleFest mainly because of all the research that went into it, Moore said. We had t.o do a lot of research on Lully [the composer) and his style, since we had to con- vert the original score from strings to brass. Close attention was also paid to the original perfor- mances of the musical — to details like the placement of instruments. We wanted to be as close to the original pro- duction as possible, Dr. Moore said. They came pretty close — the performance included an authentic eighteenth century harpsichord donated by the First Presbyterian Church of Florence. The cast also put in a lot of time to make sure the play was a success. One member of the cast was Scott Stooksberry of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, who played Covielle, Celeonte ' s valet. According to Stooksberry, practices got longer and longer as the performance neared. We ' d practice every night, starting at six and ending whenever Mr. Davis thought we were done. Sometimes that was eight; sometimes it was twehre. Stooksberry said that his role was more difficult than those he had played in the past. I had to be a lot more versatile because there were a lot of physical characteristics invohred with this character. He had two different walks and two different voices. It looks like we can look forward to more cooperation between the Departments of Music and Theatre in the future. The Bourgeois Gentleman received such a good response from both departments that we ' re looking around to see what we can do in the future, said Dr. Moore. Mr. Davis agrees. They [the Music Department) were terrific. When asked if he planned to woiic with the Theatre Department in the future, his answer was an emphatic Yes! Yes! Yes!

To eat or not to eal That s the question! by Holli Hai;grove and Allison Stack What should I eat? This question is probably one of the n ost popular questions that is asked every day on college campuses. Colleges have changed the way that students view school food from yuck to yum. The Dining Services on campus provide both stu- dents and faculty with an endless array of foods that are sure to tempt everyone ' s taste buds. The Food Court in the Guillot University Center is an extremely popular place for both breakfast and lunch for students. Every day, hundreds of hungry students patiently wait in long lines for favorites such as club sandwiches, chicken fingers, cheeseburgers, made-to- order deli sandwiches, and the always popular french fries. A new addition to the food court was Pizza Hut that served the campus with personal pan pizzas and hot breadsticks. For students who prefer the healthy side of college life, the salad bar stood as a welcome retreat from the fast food of the campus. The hot food bar also gave students another dining option that was healthy, with home- style foods. Calorie counts are also fea- tured above the items on the hot food bar. A sometimes more convergent option to dorm residents is Towers Dining Hall. Located between Rice and Rivers Residence Halls, Towers Cafe features an all-you-can-eat dining experience. Residents and visitors can go to the dining hall for three meals a day. The cafe has a bakery, salad bar, deli, mom-like entrees, and even ice cream for dessert. Students should also not forget that there is an espresso bar known as the Wired Lion. The Wired Lion is in the center of the University Center on the bottom floor, and it serves a variety of cof- fees, hot chocolate, and even some desserts like cheesecake. Of course, if dining with the university meal options is not for you there are always the handy vending machines that are in almost every building on campus. Students who live on-campus may also choose to journey back to their dorm rooms and prepare their own food with various small appliances. Most students will probably never find anything that is just like mom ' s fine cooking, but it does not hurt to sample all the dining options that are available on campus. After all, one may find that school food is actually belter than mom ' s home cooked meals. One may find that school food is actually better than mom s home-cooked meals« TOfiKT UKAI.TH FOOD.
