Page 6 THE RIDGERUNNER December 4, 1975 „ ^ Forum Theaters Well f„“lt^sNTsta,e Worth Watching, By PETE GILPIN "Cheer up, things could be worse," the saying goes. It has special mean ing this week to UNC- Asheville's Bulldogs who bowed in the championsiiip round of the 10th Annual Opti mist Tip-Off Tourna ment last Saturday night Nov. 29. Power ful Gardner-Webb, de fending tourney champ, took a 86-75 decision after UNCA had tied the game with 11:20 left. Opening night. Coach Bob Hartman's "Baby Bulldogs" (all freshmen or sophs ex cept for one senior) looked competent as they dispatched Han over of Indiana 71-57. Now things may in deed get worse as UNCA takes to the road, visiting Carson-Newman at Jefferson City, Tenn., Thursday and old foe Mars Hill Fri day before returning , to Asheville. Saturday night, the Bulldogs play host to North Carolina State in the Asheville Civic Center with gametime at 8 p.m. The mighty Wolfpack last year dispatched UNCA 111-68, but Hartman hopes his team won't be awed by the ACC power this time around. N. C. State has Kenny Carr and Phi 1 Spence back from the 1974-75 team, but lost All-American David Thompson, who had 43 points against the Bulldogs. NCSU also has 7-foot Glenn Sud- hop to dominate the boards. After three games, Bamford (Bam-Bam) Jones paces Bulldogs scoring, averaging 21.3 points per game while freshman Carl Redd has a 14.0 aver age.

C. 26804 TELEPHONE By RUTH DICKINSON The first of the Forum Theaters, "A Likely Story" wasn't that. It was a con fusing, stilted, yet charming farce origi nally set in the 1890s but switched to the 1920s, by the director Sharon Brook shire. The play started out with rac ing banter but slowed toward the end to an anticlimax. The plot revolves around a love letter sent by an adoring young poet, Mr. Well ing, played by Dugan Lewis, to his lady. But instead of reach ing its supposed des tination it was sent to Mrs. Willis Camp bell, a twittery, spoiled, society-or- iented newlywed well done by Sarah Phillips. When she and her hus band Willis Campbell try to right the wrong, another mis take is committed and the letter is again sent to the wrong per son. Willis Campbell is hilariously played by Lowell Beard with all the appropriate intonations and sly glances. Amidst the confus ion, good though small performances were given by Shelley Cohan and Toni Williams. An especially refresh ing performance was given by Selina Wood as the family maid, who clomped her way around shaking her head at all the mad ness All in all, it was a fine play and a pleasant afternoon's diversion. W A woman is released from only knowing the love (?) of her hus band by the rape of a plantation foreman. Sound unlikely-there's even tnre. See, the plantation foreman, Silva Vaccaro, was forced to bring his cotton to be ginned to Jake Meighan, since his gin mill was burn ed down. Vaccaro figures out Jake was the arsonist, so he decides to take advan tage of Jake's wife Flora as a revenge- The Good Neighbor Pol icy, don't you see? Flora was played by Byron Ballard, Jake was played by David Anderson and Vaccaro was played by Robert Fudge. Their combined ability carried the play off well. 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 01 ^58 Sv/ANNANOA RlVER Rp. Z9e-990(b pUUards .

Yes, and authentic too, complete with sado masochism and a ton of symbolism. The second of the Forum Theaters, "27 Wagons Full of Cotton;" was well di rected by Jane Nichol son and well played. Though it was marred slightly with minor light problems, the sound was nice. Army Mentality (CPS)--Like ,the Mar ines, McDonald's builds men, according to Gen eral Creighton Abrams.
