Offered by Zane
By Iris B. Velvin
The largest planetarium in the
state is Morehead Planetarium in
Chapel Hill. The second largest is
the Edward R. Zane
Planetarium, located right here
in Greensboro.
Zane Planetarium was built in
1975 and has a seating capacity of
86. Other planetariums of its size
seat up to 150, but Rogers Joyner,
curator of Zane, says the em
phasis here is on quality, not
quanity. There are fewer seats,
but they are all good seats, plac
ed to give spectators maximum
effect.
There are three different shows
on the program at any one time,
shown on a rotating basis. The
feature show until N0v.20 is "The
Universe Game", a humorous
tour through space. A second
show, "The Grand Tour", is a
space flight tour of our solar
system. This show is a perma
nent attraction. The third offer
ing is "The Heavens of Fall",
part of a series of star shows that
display the constellations of the
different seasons. Each show
lasts a little less than an hour,
and cost only SI.OO with student
ID.
Seeing stars in a darkened
dome is not the only entertain
ment offered by the planetarium.
Starting in early November,
there will be a nightly laser show
with special effects. The laser
show will be put on by an outside
company that -sells laser equip
ment to planetariums, and if
enough interest is generated
Zane might make the show a per
manent attraction. A midnight
laser show is planned on Friday
and Saturday nights.
Zane Planetarium is located in
the Natural Science Center at
Country Park off of Lawndale
Avenue. Call 288-2043 for specific
show times.

the opening act for the Police.
The Spongetones also play new
music.
There will also be several
popular local bands performing.
Covacus, Jim Ritchey and Be Jae

Guilfordian, September 28, 1983
The beer gardens will be at City
Stage again this year despite the
objections of a local church coali
tion." After ABC permits were
issued to City Stage officials
allowing the sale of beer, the
coalition filed legal petition ask
ing for a court hearing on the
matter. This has sparked debate
on both sides. However, the hear
ing has been postponed until Nov.
7, so beer will be served this year
as usual, Beer is restricted to the
beer garden area.
Admission to all City Stage ac
tivities is free. There will be a
kick-off party Friday night in the
parking lot of the Greensboro
Daily News, for which there is a
cover charge. The Spongetones
will play at the party, and there
will be unlimited food, soft drinks
and beer.
City Stage festivities will begin
Saturday Oct. Ist 10 a.m. and
Sunday Oct. 2nd at 1 p.m., and
will last until 7 p.m. both days.
Haywood's hair pomade with
Crisco. The flies swarmed
Haywood to the point of hysteria.
Naturally, there was no doubt as
to who the culprit was, that ol
Rod. Being the gentlemen that he
is, Haywood let the event go
realizing that it was the act of a
schizoid personality, the type he
learned about in Abnormal
Psychology. (A for the course, by
the way)
Tune in next week for more
adventures and equally amazing
characters such as the love of our
hero's life and his roomate's con
cubine.
