Techmo Bowls
By: Scott "The Mack Daddy" Fleischer
As we all know, Nintendo has
been around for a while. Pro-
fessioncd football has existed
for even longer. Athletically
enthusiastic college students
have the lengthiest history
begind them. Somehow, when
these three elements are com
bined, a great deal of excitement
and addiction is formed.
A new craze has
swept over this
dusty collegic
campus. It's
called Super
T echmobowl.
This game can
turn sophisti
cated mature
students into cry-
ing, whining pan
sies. On the other
hand, it can turn
frail, weak little
computer addicts
into huge football
gods.
This game has it
all: good graphics

Treasure Island Deview

This year the Drama Depart
ment of Louisburg College
presented Jules Eckert
Goodman's Treasure Island.
This presentation was directed
by Mr. Charley JohnSmith, Pro
fessor of Drama.
When asked about the produc
tion of the play, he stated, "It
was a monster to get ready!
Treasure Island was difficult to
put together because of the
complexity of the scenes. There
were ten scene changes in four
acts. Costumes were done by
out of town seamstresses and
sound effects were done by
some of the cast members. Dur
ing opening night there were a
few slow places in the play but
the overall performance was
good."
Charley John was also asked
about the attitude of the cast.
He replied, "The cast was a
very responsible group. The
rehearsal period for Treasure
Island was pretty long, there
fore it was a challenge for the
actors and actresses. I enjoy
working with these kinds of
shows because I like to see new
actors and actresses develop
and mature. I try to make my
students become more respon
sible. I encourage studying. I
set up individual rehearsals to
center around their study time.
This helps the student to be
come more resporisible."
Charley John mentions that the
attendance to Treasure Island
was not good. He encourages
that students attend future pro
ductions because they could
have hidden talent, and maybe
if a student sees a production,
they may want to act in one.
The technical staff of Treasure
Island did an outstanding job.
Back stage manager, Tyka
Little, comments, "I enjoyed
working with this production.
It is easier to perform in front of
a big crowd because of their
reactions."
Nintendo), incredible sotmd ef
fects, injuries, play books, and
just about every other element
that is present in the NFL. Any
amount of people can play.
Single preseason games, or en
tire seasons, including the play
offs and the super bowl can be
played. If you don't like your
offensive players, that's fine;
they can all be replaced.
Super Techmobowl is being
played throughout the entire
campus. Nintendo football
doesn't get any better than this.
What other game canoffersuch
a fast pace, an inexpensive price
tag, the ability to play an entire
season (and post season), and
the capability to break a friend's
leg without even touching
them? Only one comes to
mind...Super Techmobowl.
Last month the Student Gov
ernment Association sponsored
the 1992 Talent Show "Any
thing Goes." The show
included dancers, singers, gui
tar and piano players, and a
few wrote their own music!
The judges of the talent show
were Rebecca Allen, Jay
Dodson, Jean Fischer, Julia
Quisenberry, and Ervin Wil
liams. The judging was based
on originality, creativity, and
talent.
The $50 third prize was
awarded to Vanesa McDonald
for singing "Believe in Yourself'
in Acopello. 'Ihe$75 second prize
was awarded to Brandon Wil
liams for playing guitar and
singing his own song, "Look
Inside the Mirror." The $100
grand prize was awarded to
Jason Richardson for playing
his own classical piano compo
sition, "Flight of the Raven."
Congratulations to all of you!
