Monarch Moments by John "Pud" Glosson Our Town, April 21-24 You may have seen it a thousand times before, but you've never seen it done right unless you see the Monarch Teater Dept, perform "Our Town." See the story of two star-crossed lovers in a small town April 21-24. I hear ther's a bunch of lovey-dovey smoochy stuff, but they make up for it with some death. Pride Jam? The Methodist newspaper offi cially released their new name on Feb. 28 with the first and last non annual Pride Jam in the Student Union. Festivities included a live band (as opposed to a dead one), free food, the official unveiling, and the Energizer Bunny, who sexualy harrassed all the guys and gals at absolutely no charge. The party was brought to a somber close by the editor-in-chief and cartoon ist, who played a brief acoustic set while they each wore only a sock. If you left early, you missed it. New Business Class This fall a new 300-level business class will be added to the curricu lum called Personal Finance. The focus of this course will be indi vidual money management and personal investments. The course will be taught by Walt Swing, and will most assuredly count toward fulfillment of the twelve-hour re quirement of courses outside your major. If this course doesn't suit your fancy, you may want to con sider the new 400-level course en titled Booking and Landsharking, which will be taught by Mr. Corleone. Village People to Perform The Village People are scheduled to perform in Reeve's on April 31 with their special guests Tito Jack son and the Grand Funk Railroad. The Village People were best known for hits like "Y.M.C.A." and "Macho Man." The original line-up will be there except for the Indian, who left the band after dis covering the other members were gay. MC students get in free. Non students must pay $10. iiiiiiiilM Methodist College, Fayetteville, NC Volume XXXI Issue 5 March/April 1994 In ^is Issue: * Bears On The Loose *Apathy Runs Amuck *April Fool's Shenanigans *Compu-Chick Contest *Buck Disses Ward *Buck Naked - Exposed!

Dr. Erik Bitterbaum anr«> IP Debate Masters Todd Lyden (left) and Gene Parris Debate Team Finishes Fifth by Che Rivadulla The MC debate team finished fifth in the Novice Division of the American Debate Association's National Championship Tourna ment held March 5-7 at James Madison University. The three-day event drew 64 teams from 24 schools. The team of Todd Lyden and Gene Parris completed the preliminary competition with a 5-3 record which qualified them for advancement to the elimination bracket. They advanced to the quarter final round before losing a 2-1 decision to Liberty University. Coach John Humphreys was pleased with the team's perfor mance. "In direct head-to-head competition against the best and largest teams in the nation, we learned that Methodist can be very competitive with anyone." Mr. Humphreys noted that all colleges and universities compete equally on the debate circuit with no divisions based on size or financing. Honored With NEH Grants by Sherrie Lee James Three professors from Meth odist College were chosen as re cipients by The National Endow ment for the Humanities: Dr. Sue Kimball, Dr. Michael Colonnese, and Dr. Robert C. Perkins. Kimball received a fellowship for Women's Studies to be held for five weeks this summer at the Universitv of Maryland. Kimball's study will explore the lives of two medieval women. This fellowship is the seventh award she has received. Kimball said that to receive that number is very unusual and is probably a national record. “I was told years ago that I probably wouldn’t re ceive any more, but I keep get ting them." Kimball said. Colonnese received an Inde pendent Study Grant to study journalism in eastern Europ and the former Soviet republics. Colonnese said that he applied for the grant in order to have time to analyze and investigate the journalistic practices that he ob served firsthand while on vaca tion in the Eastern Bloc coun tries in recent years. Perkins was selected to be a participant for the Technology and Science within American Culture from 1830-1950 study on July 19-23 at Iowa University in Ames. Perkins says the rea son he is going is to study the subject matter with other experts in his field.
