The Pilot, page 5 ms, SECOND FRONT A Touch of Hollywood By Tiffany Davis Ah, the glitter of Hollywood: the lights, the glamour, the stars. And it's all in Charlotte. Well, part of it. Now until January 14, Discovery Place, with the help of WSOC-TV 9, Charlotte Van & Storage/North American Van Lines, and McCleod Trucking and Rigging Co., is host to a spectacular sampling of some of Hollywood's greatest movies. From "Rocky" to "Roxanne", the display "The Science of Movie and Television Magic" gives the public a chance to peek into the world of special effects. Recently, Mr. Richard Drye's advanced photography class visited the exhibit in its only Southeast showing, returning back to Gardner-Webb with some great shots, as well as a great deal of respect for those magicians known as special effects artists. The exhibit offers the curious movie buff the opportunity to observe first hand some of the intricate and often overlooked processes that add so much excitement to movies and television shows. On display were several small-scale models that were actually used in the production of "Masters of the Universe" and the smash hit "Ghostbusters." Also featured were several step by step descriptions of such crafts as special effects make up, i.e. as in the movie "Mask", commercial storyboards, and the numerous uses of the blue screen. Perhaps, though, the main attraction was the life-size exhibit of the Queen Alien, which Sigourney Weaver battles so heroically in "Aliens", and one of the great white shark models used in the filming of the "Jaws" movies. The exhibit, located on Discovery Place's second floor, gives the observer the chance to study the objects on display very closely. The only drawback to the entire exhibit is the fact that for security purposes, the majority of the items on display are encased in glass, which causes serious problems for flash-equipped cameras. Never fear, however, if there's a shot you simply must have, a little experimentation with different camera angles will render some interesting and creative shots. In the words of one of Drye's students, "It's a fantas tic exhibit. If you don't go, you've really missed out on an event that's both entertaining and educational." See you at the movies. Business Students Visit Washington, D.C. Twenty students from. Gardner-Webb College's Broyhill School of Management extended classroom lessons during the College's recent fall break. The business students, along with 16 faculty and staff persons, visited Washington, D.C., to experience the interaction of business and government. While there, the group toured the Department of State, the Pentagon, the Department of Engraving and Printing and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They met with Sen. Jesse Helms and Rep. Cass Ballenger. Sen. Helms introduced them to the workings of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee and gave a behind-the-scenes tour of the Capitol. Also, the group toured the Disabled American Veteran's Headquarters and the Veteran's Affairs offices. Upon meeting with Vice President Dan Quayle's aide. Bill Gribbin, the group was shown through the vice president's Capitol office. "The purpose of the Broyhill School of Management is to broaden the students' various perspectives," said Dr. Keith Griggs, business professor. This is accom plished, explained Dr. Griggs, through the Washington experi ences as well as trips to New York and London. Dr. Griggs said the trip helps tie in government func tions while developing a sense of pride in our country and in the free enterprise system. Lori Mauney, a junior business administration student, said that the experience taught her more about leadership and how governmental affairs are handled. Mary Outlaw: By Angelitte Clark Recently I was fortunate enough to interview one of the several new additions to the Gardner-Webb family.
