Action beyond the lines ll t started off as hobby, but after the first play I knew I wanted to keep doing it, said Sophomore David Rankin who has been acting for three years. Boredom one summer spurred Rankin's interest in acting. I needed something to do and I'd always been real interested in movies and stuff so I took acting classes that summer. Rankinls first role was the villain Bill Sykes in Oliver , Other plays Rankin has appeared in are Something afoot . The Appletree , and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs',. Rankin has portrayed any- thing from a villain in Oliver to a narra- tor in The Appletreev. I try and vary a lot. It brings a chal- lenge to acting. I like to try and take com- mand of a role so people I know won't look at me and say 'Hey that's David,' I ,want them to see the character instead. ' When deciding what roles to try out for Rankin said it depends on whether he likes the show or not. Another criteria is I think in terms of 'Can I pull this off?' Rankin has also acted for television in the series Middleroad Traveler , a PBS showifor children, for which he was paid S5 an hour. Unfortunately, the series according to Rankin, was a flop. Though Rankin's strongpoint is acting, he also sings and dances. Music and the- ater go together, said Rankin, adding that he can't read music. I've gotten away with it for three years. A lot of Rankin's time is spent with auditioning and rehearsing for plays. Right now I'm doing community theater, said Rankin, who also plans to take part in some of Memorial dramas produced. Fd like to go into acting. It,s a chal- lenge, a field where you never reach your peak. You just keep going up and up and up ', - 30 - Catherine Chriss DAVID RANKIN HAS APPEARED in various per- formances, including Bill Sykes in Oliver . Photo by Scott Waughtal. by y , ,ri ,...

Beyond Drar n between two hurricanes, Sopho- more Tim Guinee found time to catch bats for the Smithsonian Insti- tute. While working as a crew member aboard a sailboat which sailed 700 miles in the Antilles,'Guinee met a man that worked for the field museum. The man. from the field museum was assigned to do bat research. The field worker did not have time to catch the specimans so he showedGuineeihow to capturebats. Every night, when the boat anchored next to an island, Gui- nee would row to shore and set up the bat nets. A S S After the bats were caught in the nets, Guinee would carefully break their necks with his fingers while try- ing to avoid getting bitten. By the end of the trip, Guinee had accumulated approximately 50 bats which were packaged in plastic bags and preserved in formaldehyde and placed in the cabin of the boat. Guinee's expedition is only the' sec- ond time a research project, concerning bats, has been done in the Greater and Western Antilles. y , A Many mishaps did occur to some of Guinee's Specimans. Guinee said, One time one of the bats fell on the floor and one of the girls on the boat stepped on it.?' A 'After collecting the bats, Guinee gave them to the man from the field museum who later took them to Chi- cago and they fthe batsj were shipped from there to the Institute. Guinee does not know what the Smithsonian plans to do with the bats. Guinee said, . . . probably dissect them. I don't know for sure? -- 30 - RECITING LINES from.
