Vol. 1 No.16 November 16, 1992 College Theater to present Thorton Wilder's "Our 'Ibwn" As part of the 1992-1993 Wheelwright Passport season, College Theater will present Thorton Wilder's American classic, "Our Town," on Friday, Nov. 20 and Saturday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 22 at 3 p.m. All performances are open to the ·public and will be held in Wheelwright Auditorium. Tickets are $8 and $5 for students. "Our Town," Wilder's chronicle of hearth and home, is a story of two neighboring households in the hamlet of Grover's Comers, N.H., in the early 1900s. The lives of the Webbs and the Gibbs families are in no way sensational or special, and like the families, the town also is unassuming. The place is of no real importance and the information Wilder provides serves to underline the universality of Grover's Corners and those who live there. In furthering the theme of universality, the play is narrated by a ubiquitous stage manager, who tells the audience that a copy of the script will be left in the cornerstone of a new bank so people a "thousand years from now" can see "the L3i.2ill1iliILdl±l±2±i1.i1....£2ilifk~+~~..:..-2~~~~.ii.L21ztfh2£S22l.q way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying." Wilder points to the fundamental elements of existence - "Love and Marriage," and "Death" - as the titles of the second and third acts. Don't miss the party ...

College anglers know their kings The king mackerel is one of the most sought after gamefish on the Atlantic coast and collegiate anglers recently showed that king mackerel can be taken in unorthodox ways. The occasion was the 19th annual Coastal Carolina Invitational, an intercollegiate fishing match and seminar held in Murrells Inlet on Oct. 30. Teams of college students have come from as far away as Japan to participate in this event which has been sponsored by the college since the mid-1970s. In past years, students have fished from Myrtle Beach piers and headboats in the Gulf Stream, but this year they found sensa-tional king mackerel fishing about 20 miles from the Murrells Inlet jetties. Capt. Wayne Strickland skippered the "Captain Bill" from Captain Dick's Marina for collegians from Clemson, Francis Marion and Coastal. The plan was to find some good bottom fishing for blackfish (black seabass) and put out some drift lines with live cigar minnows or pinfish which the students and their coaches jigged on small hooks with no bait. "We caught some kings on live cigar minnows," said tournament director Donald MilIus, "but most of the kings hit drifted dead sardine baits." MilIus, author of "Fishing the Southeast Coast," said a small egg sinker used ahead of the wire leader resulted in many more strikes than a regular drift line. More than 30 kings were hooked and 23 were boated. The tournament record is 53 kings tagged and released in one day; the record catch was made on silver spoons and deep planers while trolling from regular charter boats. Francis Marion finished first in the competition while Coastal's B team edged out the college's A team and Clemson for runner-up honors. Prizes were donated by Abu Garcia, Ande, Berkley, Buck Knives, DuPont, Plano, Salt Water Sportsman Magazine, Shakespeare, Wright & McGill, and Zebco. The Grand Strand Salt Water Anglers held an awards cook-out for students and coaches at the end of the tournament. The major sponsor of the annual event is Coastal Educational Foundation, Inc.

"""" Reported apparitions in MedjugoIje, Yugoslavia topic of lecture Wayne Weible, a former newspaper publisher and columnist who became fascinated with the alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the farming village of MedjugOlje, Yugoslavia, will speak at on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in GCEC 003. Sponsored by the Neumann Club, a student organization of Catholic students, the lecture is free and open to the public. Weible first heard of the apparitions in 1985, which had reportedly been taking place since 1981, and decided to write an article for his weekly newspaper column. Weible soon changed his original plan for a single article and wrote a series of articles. Several months later, he sold his four weekly newspapers to devote his time 2 to spreading the Medjugorje message. More than 25 million copies of a tabloid containing Weible's articles, called "Miracle of Medjugorje," have been printed. Weible has traveled to MedjugOlje more than 17 times. He travels the United States and the world to lecture on the events of Medjugorje; his tours include appearances in Ireland, South America, Scotland, England, West Indies, Grenada, Australia, Singapore, Poland, and Canada. Weible is a graduate of the University of South Carolina. For more information, call the Office of Student Activities. """"
