Finals aud Fua Fill Winter Wouths The door is locked, the phone’s off he hook and the water’s on to boil. It’s inals time again. The time when sleep was a rumor to 1 student trying to memorize the entire listory of the western world in one weekend. Yet, for some it was a time to ass the nights restfully, calmed by an ‘A” average and the knowledge that, even if they answered their entire exam in Greek, they could never flunk the course. Finals are just a prelude to something more important in the life of a college student: Winter Break. Students dominated area ski resorts, packed local pubs and travelled home with a semester’s worth of dirty laundry and Christmas presents. COFFEE, PEN, PENCIL AND BLUEBOOK, I’VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED. Clockwise from be- low, finals often begin at 7 a.m. even though there is little life around. Getting those last-minute munchies to help get you through the test. M M’s are a favorite, but Cheetos do just as well. Hopping up to Ruidoso for some skiing is a com- mon sight for many students during winter break. Studying and trying to study, as well as stay awake, fills the time before finals.

Untou Diuner Theatre Mays for Full Houses . UT El Paso graduate Greg Taylor captured headlines when he scored a tremendous theatrical coup for his brain-child, the Union Dinner theatre. Taylor’s idea of a dinner and show was met with enthusiasm in the El Paso community. Sell-out crowds attracted to his quality productions which included “A Day in Hollywood. A Night in The Ukraine,” “All I Need Are Words’”’ and “Annie” during the 1984-85 season. Taylor’s greatest achievement came when he announced the American premier of famed playwrite Tim Rice’s “Blondel’” would be staged at UT El Paso. LIFE’S JUST FULL OF THOSE STRANGE PEO- PLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES ACTORS. Clockwise from below, the singing monks were just a part of the comedic musical ‘‘Blondel.’’ Daddy Warbucks and Annie delight the audience during the summer performances of ‘Annie’. Orphans and Annie capture the heart of the audience as they dance up a storm. “‘A Day in Hollywood. A Night in the Ukraine” was one of the many musi- cals Robert Hart appeared in as chorus and lead. A look at the other side of life from ‘‘Blondel.”’ Musicals are not all fun as Bob Phap wires up the sign for one of the Union Dinner Theatre’s presentations. ee eee. ae
