f ittsburg State University is but one stage that the students here must cross in order to achieve success. From the first moment they step upon this stage as freshmen, they experience the same excitement, nervousness and anticipation in satisfying parents, teachers and themselves, as do actors and actresses on Broadway in trying to fulfill the expectations of their many audiences. The stage is set. From the moment the lights go on and the curtain rises that first day of school, the future out- come can only be determined by the student. The perfor- mance on this stage also has great influence over stages in which the student will act a part later on in life. For four years, students must rehearse and re-rehearse their skill and ability to become a functional part of their ever-growing, ever-changing society. The never-ending classwork, the dreaded term papers, school athletics, organizational activities and the everyday interaction with fellow students, faculty and members of the administra- tion all combine to form actors and actresses who will be able to perform with the utmost confidence before their many future audiences. continued on page 4 EXPLODING AT TARTUFFE'S decision that Marianne, played by Anna Arellano, must marry someone she doesn't love, Orgon and Dorine, played by Brad Burnett and Kamela White, voice their opinions about the powerful tyrant in Tartuffe, a neoclassical comedy presented last April in Kelce Auditorium. —photo by Jo Black Kanza 1983 On Broadway Kanza 83 Opening J
