Theatre Co. ISMUTCO The SMU Theater Company is now in its seventh season. It has evolved from a one-play-per-season Theater Clubv into a three-play-per-semester Theater Companyf, In all, SMUTCO casts nine plays a year, including three during the summer. It is comprised of a group of dedicated, hard working students fsome ex-studentsj who, under the directorship and guidance of Angus Bailey and Tom Higgins, devote countless hours to creating superior quality theater. People don't realize the work involvedf' says Gary Hartwell, a 4 year Veteranpf SMUTCO, Angus Bailey has been with the organization since its inception and virtually built it single-handedlyn adds Hartwell. The feeling one gets while talking to theater company members is one of pride. Peter Boorman, an active member of the company says, HSMUTC0 is the second most productive organization on campus, the Torch being the first...It's a bug, once you get involved you can't get away from it. As far as the turn out, Boorman says, You can't get students at this university to watch the show...Most people that do go, our fregulars', are people from the outside communityf' Slvlil does not have a full scale drama department. There are no specific requirements no Theater Major requirements for one to become a member of the group, merely a willingness, to work. 'clt has a lot of potential, says Stephanie Gibson, another theatre company member. It's a good company, but I would like to see more atudenis involvedufl The theater company works on a small budget. The facilities, however, are quite adequrite.. Hur were it not for the time and energy that both students and staff devote to proiiuet ' i .igtr ' not be realized ,-: - -:fn '-Pi . :enum

i ki k'k'k'k'k'ki k'k'ki'i'ttiiitiiiiiiiiiitiiiittki 'kitttt Soccer On a blustery day in Mid-November, the saga of the 1976 SMU soccer team came to an ignoble end, at the hands Cor feetl of the Brandeis Judges, 2-0. But like Camelot, it was nice while it lasted. The season ended in the opening round of the NCAA Division lll Regional Soccer Tournament. The Corsairs, with a 12-1 record, came into the game with a number two ranking in New England, and thus, had the home field advantage. It made no difference that day, however, as the spectacular goaltending of Brandeis, Murray Greenberg stopped the favored Blue and Gold in their tracks. All seasons must end, however, SMU's simply ended a bit sooner then planned. On their way to the tournament, the Corsairs ran up a string of accomplishments their successors will have a tough job following, much less besting. After a season-opening loss to Tufts, l-O, the coach John Barrett led his men to 12 straight wins, tops in New England last year. Immersed in that streak was another, for six consecutive games, the goaltending duo of Randy Sharrow and Peter Carlin 'was not scored upon once Cironically, both of the SMU losses were by shutoutsl. , A fifth straight Colonial Conference title went into the books last year, as well as the fact that the Corsairs not only were undefeated, but also unscored-upon in conference play. SMU's tourney bid was the first in the school's history, and the loss to Brandeis marked the first time since October 28, 1972 that the Corsair booters had been beaten in North Dartmouth, a streak of 35 games. Individually, Bruce Botelho shattered Ameico Aruajo's career scoring record. The senior co-captain finished his brilliant tenure at SMU with a four-year total of 95 goals. This season also marked the farewell of defensive genius Joe Hummel, as well as Bob Lundgren and John Sousa, but everyone else from the 12-2 combine will be back. E Looking ahead, the sights are optimistic for another powerhouse 'in 1977. Looking back? As a old non-Oscar-winning comedian once said, Thanks for the memories?
