Page 2 - j Thej>enslulgtn^^, ‘Rituals’ film crew shoots more of Elon for background footage By Jamie Cobb Staff Writer The initial ratings aren’t in yet, but preliminary indica tions are that Rituals is being broadcast in more than 120 cities across the country. Elon College provides some of the setting for the prime-time soap opera, which made its debut Sept. 10. “This means that 80 percent of the televisions in America can get it,” said Tim McDowell, director of Community Rela tions and liaison to the Rituals production. “It is currently the number one soap in Boston,” he said, “and is popular in Washington and Los Angles.” Members of the Rituals film crew returned to the area for three days last week to shoot some “background” and scenic footage. This film will be Bishop Gossman visits Elon By Maureen Sweeney Features Editor “In today’s world, our faith must offer something to the public forum,” said Bishop F. Joseph Gossman in a Catholic mass held on campus Sunday. Gossman was visiting the Burlington area as part of his pastoral travels to North Caro lina counties. Gossman covers the Raleigh diocese which ex tends from Alamance to East ern North Carolina and some parts of South Carolina. Gossman said that Catholics in North Carolina have some different concerns than those in other states. Here they con stitute a small minority, only 2 percent of all people express ing a religious preference, he said. As a minority. Catholics in this state must remember that their history is a rich and inter national one concerned with world problems, he said. Gossman stressed that Catho- lics “mustn’t regard the Gos pels as an exercise in religious history. We must look to it for guidance in today’s world.” He cited Catholic involve ment in the establishment and support of public education and support of the preserva tion of life as examples of church activity today. After mass the bishop spoke about his attitudes toward the recently renewed political controversy over separation of church and state. “The separa tion of church and state is one of our greatest contributions to the existence of nations,” he said, adding that “The division is not meant to disguise reli gion or politics, only to make them equal.” Photo by Jamie Cobb EYE IN THE SKY: The film crew for the soap opera Rituals used a helicopter for different angles of the area for footage in the show. edited together with footage of the players, taken in the Holly wood studios.
