“Annie” wins the hearts of everyone The BCCC Fine Arts Department presented the musical, “Annie Get Your Gun” on March 11 and 12, 1983. With six weeks of practice behind them, the cast members were ready for the standing-room-only audiences. When the community college orchestra started playing, the tension reached its highest peak. Charlie Davenport (Greg Stephens) and Dolly Tate (Meg Sims) began capturing the audience’s attention, while Frank Butler (D.J. Sims) and Annie Oakley (Karen Graber) captured its heart. Tears of joy, relief and sadness were released after the Finale. Hugs and kisses reflected the closeness built among cast members through the long weeks of rehearsals. The production required the talents of many community and college people. Students built sets under the direction of local adults. Directors Ken Shaheen and Karyl Morrison worked endlessly blocking scenes and helping actors develop characters. Sound and lights were added, and the orchestra directed by J.B. Webster provided the music which crowned the production. J.B. Webster and the communtiy orchestra work with the castfor perfect timing. Frank Butler (D.J. Sims) sings “I ' m a Bad Bad Man’’ to the girls o ' Cincin nati (Betty Vanek, Ina McGuinness and Krista Norton). Charlie Davenport (Greg Sims), Buffalo Bill (Bob Allford) and Pawnee Bill (Robert Feldt) talk about the new sensation Annie Oakley, while Mac (K. B. Bell) encourages customers to see the show.

HOUSING EXPANDS Phase 1... Phase 2... or Phase 3...? No, this isn’t a question asked on a game show to win a prize, it’s the choice provided for BCCC housing students. Those who chose to pay $25 more per semester may live in the Phase 3, better known as the earth-housing. These units house four people who share a bathroom but have two beds per room. These were completed in time for the 1982- 83 academic year. Although they have no carpeting, there is more floor space. Phase two has four large bedrooms in each unit with one bath. Usually there are only two students in each room, al¬ though the rooms were designed to accomodate three in case of overflow. A central lobby area is the feature of Phase 1 units. Off of this room are again four bedrooms and one bath. Both ph¬ ases 1 and 2 have carpeting except in the bathroom. Along with the earth-housing, a new “commons building” was built for all housing students. This houses washers, dryers, a television room, meeting room, game room and kitchenette. Students may also get together in tha main lounge or stereo room. Rick Hanke, director of student housing resigned in 1982 to accept a similiar position at the University of Texas at El Paso. The new coordinator and assistant coordinator of stu¬ dent housing selected were Jerry and Lisa Ney. Campus housing added new earth-sheltered units this past year. This phase houses four people per unit. Two students share each room with a com¬ mon bathroom for four. Deanna Barnett takes time from her studies to write a letter home. This room is an example of a Phase 1 unit Rick Hanke, director of student housing collects cans gathered by students in a contest sponsored by RHA, “Get off your Cans.” The win¬ ning unit received three large pizzas for their efforts. 28
