.v, The Theatrical Twilight Zone With a key. you unlock the door to imagina- tion, beyond it is another dimension — a di- mension of sight, sound and mind. You ' re moving through a land on which shadows and substances of things and ideas. Guiding you through this wondrous journey is the hypnot- ic existence of the Theatrical Twilight Zone. Submitted for your approval are four de- signers each with individual tasks before him. Each must create and design, sight, sound, ac- tion and movement. Accompanying each oth- er on their journey, these four designers are about to take a trip into oddness and obsoles- cence, through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination. Example one, is that of a director, a director of action and sound. He works his actors to draw a picture of character portrayal. Next, the choregrapher enters the scene — a creator of movement, movement of feeling and style. We now look at the designer of sight and spectacle, the set and lighting designer. His job being the creation of setting and lighting that sets your mood — the audience. Examine now, the costume designer, also a creator of sight, period and feelings. Her goal is incorporating texture, color and style into a final product. Finally, the most important factor in making the designer ' s work a reality is the student. One with a dedication and will to work and learn. With jobs as educators and designers they teach of that unknown theatrical zone. The student is being transported into another dimension of sight, sound, and mind, whether it be an actor, technician, or costumer. All are invested in this zone under constant collaboration. Each designer with his goals in mind, working with one another. The sign post up ahead is calling for a unified product to be finally viewed by you, the audience of the Theatrical Twilight Zone!

ELECTieN w Although the 1984 Presiden- tial Election may not have been an unpredictable one, it was certainly one of the most memorable — not only for the nation as a whole but also for the Commonwealth of Ken- tucky. The first debate between Mondale and Reagan was held at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville. Also, earlier in the race it seemed Ken- tucky ' s own governor might be selected as a running mate for Mondale. Although Martha Layne Collins was not chosen, another woman, Congress- woman, Geralrlinf; Forraro, was selected as Mondale ' s vice- presidential candidate. This event marked the first time a woman ever ran on the demo- cratic ticket for the office of vice-president. Another aspect that made this election year so memora- ble was Reagan ' s landslide vic- tory. Reagan claimed 525 elec- toral votes to Mondale ' s 13 which, in modern times, was only surpassed by Franklin Roosevelt in 1936. On this University ' s campus support and enthusiasm was shown for both parties. Bum- perstickers were plastered on cars, signs were hung in dorm windows, and buttons were worn on jackets and back- packs. One sorority even made a banner encouraging students to just get out and vote. On campus, voting was held in Burnham Hall, for the conve- nience of the voting student. What was Reagan ' s reaction to his victory and the prospect of four more years? You ain ' t seen nothin ' yet. (Photo reprinted with permission from The Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times.)
