ODDS AND ENDS
Steel Magnolias
By Lynn S. Britt
Staff Writer
Sweaty palms, jittery nerves, and but
terflies in the stomach are all a part of the
emotions that go along with auditioning for
a play as each of the 34 ladies who audi
tioned for a part in "Steel Magnolias" can at
test.
The all female play includes only six parts.
GW students DeEtta Hawks, Jennifer Nor
man, and Merry Joy Ralph will play the
parts of Clairee, Annelle, and Shelby,
respectively. Kathie Burgin, a GW
graduate, will play M’Lynn. Barbara Brock
and Debra Farfour, two actresses with
professional experience, will play Ouiser
and Truvy, respectively. Five of these six
actresses will be making their GW stage
debut.
For theatre-goers who have seen the
movie. Director John Brock says the play
version will be quite different and much
more entertaining.
This is one of the first productions of the
play since the movie was released. No one
was given permission to perform the play
during production and release of the movie
"Steel Magnolias."
Brock said "[It is] a delightful play about
Southerners and southern culture. The
characters are warm and real, and theatre
goers will be able to see reflections of them
selves and their family.
"[It] promises a superb evening of
hilarious but thoughtful entertainment."
The cast of six began practicing on Sep
tember 6, and the performance dates are set
for October 12-15.
Barry Martin is the assistant director for
the production, and Barry Whitfield is the
assistant technical director.
Since the whole play takes place in a
beauty shop, the stage will have running
water and working drainage systems. Much
backstage help is still needed for the
production.

Sunday
Celebrations
By Dawn E. Camp
Managing Editor
Campus Ministries proudly announces
the addition of monthly Sunday evening
worship services to the GWC calendar.
"Sunday Celebrations" are designed to
present the gospel in new and creative ways
including music, drama, or even comedy.
"All the services will be pretty much non-
traditional...But I hope that each will be a
worship service," said Campus Minister
Burdette Robinson.
The first service, held on September 16 at
8:30 p.m., featured the Dogwood unit of the
Covenant Players, an internationally
known Christian drama troupe from
California. Following in the tradition of
Christ’s method of preaching through
parables and the medieval church’s use of
story telling, the players (Julie Rosensteel,
Emma Meney, Matt Jamison, and Christine
Piel) provided a medium that effectively
communicated the challenges of Christian
commitment.
The group’s skits centered around the
ideas of involvement, commitment, and
witnessing. They encouraged the audience
to "Speak a Little Louder" and witness
through actions as well as words.
The next "Sunday Celebration" is
scheduled for October 14 at 8:30 p.m. in the
chapel.

Boan Attends
Workshop
By Dawn E. Camp
Managing Editor
As students relaxed on the beach or
worked for an extra dollar or two this sum
mer, Dr. Rudee Boan, a GWC sociology
professor, worked to improve his writing
ability.
Boan attended the fourteenth annual
Bennington Writing Workshops held at
Bennington College in Vermont. "These
workshops bring novice writers into contact
with professionals. They allow the novice
writer to test some work in a group context
under professional guidance," Boan said.
In the past, professional writers such as
John Updike, John Cheever, and Ann Beat
ty have helped with the workshop. This
summer’s pros included Grace Paley, Rus
sell Banks, and Mary Oliver. Students, ac
cepted through application only, meet with
editors and agents from magazines and
book companies.
Groups of 12 writers meet three times a
week to discuss one story. "I feel like I
learned a few things-not technical things-
small things I need to do to get over the
hurdle of being published," Boan said. "I
think I left there with the motivation and
confidence to continue writing."
The workshops lasted a month, but at the
two week point, the entire faculty and one-
fourth of the students changed.
Boan, whose attendance was made pos
sible through a GWC faculty development
grant, said, "I will be eternally grateful to
Gardner-Webb for making if possible for
me to go."
Staley Lectures
Held
The annual Staley Lecture Series was held
on campus from Sept. 24-26. The speaker,
Dr. Gerald Page, discussed "How to Be a G-
Rated Person in an R-Rated World." The
three lectures were based in Jonah, the
topic of one of Page’s books.
Page, a graduate of Gardner-Webb, holds
both a masters and doctorate from South
western Baptist Theological Seminary. He
is currently pastor of Gambrell St. Baptist
Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Staley Distinguished Christian
Scholar Program allows evangelical
scholars to speak to small colleges nation
wide concerning the Christian Faith.
