Fall play creates by Pat Jordan The atmosphere was set, costumes in tact, popcorn was popped and people were chattering as the scene was set for the biggest fall production of the year, Carnival, With all this ready to go, Sharon Yarbrough, play director, said that these items were necessary in order to create the right atmosphere. We put up balloons, crepe paper, and posters all over the walls, Yar- brough said. The audience sat at candlelit tables, and during in- termission members of the cast sold popcorn and cakes. Yarbrough said extensive preparation went into the play, as cast members often found themselves atmosphere rehearsing four nights a week. And not only did they have to memorize dialogue, but they also had to learn choreography to perform dance routines. Lana Lowe, a Southwestern College student who operated a dan- ce studio in Winfield, helped the students with their steps. Although the play ran into some hard times with cast changes and reconstruction in the auditorium, Yar- brough said the show went well. We didn't have many problems with rehearsals, she said. The whole thing just seemed to come together the week before the play opened and everybody in the cast did a fin e io b. s-..r' CENTER STAGE --The cast of Carnival takes a final bow after the premiere per- formance. iPhoto by .lim Kerri TRA LA LA - Rosalie iCindy Leftwichl finds her lover Marco the Magnificent Ueff Bowmanl with another woman as she sings Humming to B.F.

Staff makes campus life fun by Janet Campbell Enthusiastic people and additional activities at the Nelson Student Cen- ter and resident halls made life on campus more fun. According to Carriasco McGilbra, director of auxiliary services, two of the people who deserve recognition are Sharella Jennings and Gary DuBois, resident managers. Jennings aided the students in the new dor- mitory, which housed 80 students, while DuBois watched over the 20 oc- cupants of Tiger Hall. They are the ones who ran the dormitories, I just oversaw them, McGilbra said. If they have any problems, I take them to Dean Scott. Betty Swartz ran the bookstore and sold T-shirts, sweaters, and back- packs, which were added tothe store this year. Orders for logging suits were also taken. I think we worked with the teachers more this year, Swartz said. We tried to get textbooks and supplies quicker. That's important. Another important iob was done by Grace McGilbra, who helped her husband Carriasco by organizing the electronic game rooms added this year to the lower level of the dor- mitory. The eleven games, including pinball and automatic ping-pong, were made available through a per- centage lease. It was a real improvement, said Jacque Brunk, student. It got things out of my system. McGilbra agreed, adding It's been a good activity for the students. It provided a way to unwind after studying for tests. There were pretty good reactions. Students also had good reactions to the food service offered to them. Jim Jarreau, food service manager, brought some new ideas to the cafeteria. The maior change was the con- tinental breakfast, Jarreau said. It extended the breakfast time about an hour. People who didn't want to get up early didn't have to. Jarreau changed the menus to make sure the students got what they wanted to eat. I took the menus from the past two years and pitched them, he said. I kept records of what was liked and what was thrown away, and I made a list of menus that were pretty good. To ensure that the students liked the food, Jarreau added different menus to the regular meals. Bar- becaues, Mexican food, hot soup and chili feeds helped make dinner time special. He initiated tournaments for students, and set up an apple- bobbing contest at Halloween. He said he did all that because he likes meals to be fun. My policy is, 'We will try anything once,' but in the same light, I will not stick to something iust because I think it's right, Jarreau said. If it fails, it's gone, but I'm willing to bet that the students are satisfied.
