Theater Bites!!
By: Ron Fitzwater
[ On October 30th 2003, Profes-
•or Roger Drake’s Theater 115
class performed the staged reading
of “Count Dracula,” as adapted by
Ted Tiller.
The performance took place at
the Dunn Center for the Performing
rts on the Campus of North Caro-
a Wesleyan.
The production was completely
presented by Prof. Drake’s class
with some students portraying the
well-known characters of the tale
and others performing the entire
behind-the-scenes operations of
costuming, sound, lights, and spe
cial effects.
For those in attendance, the
night was definitely a memorable
experience full of surprises and un
expected twists and turns.
For those unlucky enough to
have missed it, all I can say is “You
should have been there.”

Benefits of Blood Donation
I Giving blood is one of the best
I gifts you can give to another
I human being. But you may notj
know that it’s good for you too.
I Not only will you feel good know
ing you’ve positively affected up
I to three lives, but donating blood
has many physical benefits as
well. Here are just a few:
Each donor receives a mini
health check that provides a great
way to monitor good health.
Donating blood is good forf
the heart. Recent studies have
shown that men who gave blood
three times a year reduced their
risk of a heart attack by more
than 50 percent.
Recent studies have also |
shown that donating blood can
reduce the chance of certain
types of cancer in men.
I Donating blood can only help
j your diet...it takes off one pound.
