C assic Challeng Eighteenth Century English in Fitzpatrick She Stoops to Conquer brought a fresh view to the Qansas Wesleyan stage, as well as a challenge. This Oliver Goldsmith comedy, written in 1773, hallenged the actors and actresses with language and leas typical of eighteenth century England. In my plays before I could ad lib, I could always b.s. ty way through it, but not here. I had to know exactly 'hat to say because there were lines you just had to say arrectly, otherwise the next one wouldn't make sense. tid freshman Chally Matte. Other actors agreed with Matte, Getting off the script 'as probably the hardest part, as a cast. said Jenard urks. He also felt like the key to conveying his lines to ne audience was understanding the language and anic and distress cross the face of Chally Matte as she artrays Mrs. Hardcastle trying to tell her son, Tony, that her :wells have been stolen.

After several rehearsals and reading the lines over and over again, after a while you start to get a feel for your character and the meaning. The play was billed as a piece that Goldsmith wrote as a new approach to comedy in response to the prevalent 'sentimental comedy' that, to him, had become boring. He wrote in a style 'more comparable to today's situational comedy' and very different from the 'melodramatic and romantically overblown' comedies of the era. Senior Bob Davis said it was different from the run-of-the-mill Kansas Wesleyan production, as Dr. Marshall refers to it: a period piece. Despite it's 'new' style, the fact remains it's an uncommon approach to comedy for the twentieth century college student. Matte recalls, ...one person came up to me after the first acl and said, 'I'm not sure what happened, you were funny, but I don't know what happened the rest of the time.' But they sat through it and loved it. I was shocked at how well it was received ,... usually, with period pieces, people are like, 'ho, hum.' - which they did in the first act. But it seemed to come off really well. I think it was an experience for them. said Matte. 2' Cindy Wunder HI was shocked at how well it was r e c i e v e d ,... i t seemed to come off really well.', Chally Matte Eavesdropping fathers await 'the question' as Young Marlow, portrayed by Steve Novich, talks with Miss Hardcastle.

nd these Are The Days... KW Escapes to Salem Lunchtime crowds in Shriwise Cafeteria often thin out at 1 1 155. Have you ever wondered what causes this phenomenon? Where do these students go? Simultaneous screams and boos can then be heard throughout the dorm hallways, what is going on? It isn't the results of caferteria food it's Days of Our Lives!', , J,g?'.k 850!o DayS g of our l Lives In a survey of students, Days was found to be the overwhelming winner in the favorite soap category. There are many reasons why people watch it, the responses recieved by the Coyote revealed that Days is the most realistic soap on the air. The response also revaled that the show is filled with suspense filled plots, great love scenes, evil villains, lying little tramps, beautiful women, gorgeous men, and moments of sadness and tragedy. What more could you ask for ? Well, Kayla and Steve could get married, Bo and Hope could come back, Roman and Dianna could get together, Victor could fall off of a building, Justin and Adrianne could live happily ever after, Kim and Shane could finally start a happy life together, and Angelica could get a new haircut! Fans had many things to say about this season's plot and characters: The happiest moment this year was a toss up between Adrianne's and Justin's wedding and when Roman and Dianna made love for the first time. The saddest moment was when Marlena died or when Steve and Kayla broke up. Roman Brady is definitley the cutest guy on 'Days' but Steve is a close second. The prettiest lady on the show is definitely Kim Brady, no doubt about that! The fantasy world of Days of Our Lives obviously provides a popular escape from studying and going to classes at Kansas Wesleyan. And it will probably remain popular as long as it is on during the lunch hour when everyone can watch it.
