Valentines At MC
It's that time of year again,
that time when people get that
twinkle in their eyes, fire in
their hearts, burning in their
loins. Yes. it's Valentine's Day
(or, at least, it was last Mon
day)! To celebrate this joyous
holiday, we've dedicated a por
tion of our paper to love and
romance. You may want to
check out page 5 to see if you're
loved (or not).
Black History Month
February is also Black His
tory Month. To celebrate. Meth
odist has organized a series of

left; Feb. 21 and Feb. 28. They
won't be speaking on Jimi
Hendrix or Leon Clark, but we
do on pages 8 and 9.

Compu-Chick Nabbed
The all-inspiring Compu-

No More Small Talk
"Pride" Becomes a Reality
by .lohn "Prozac" Glosson
Goodbye, Small Talk! Hello,
Pride! Yes, it's finally happened.
The paper has been renamed after
almost three decades. After the
announcement of our contest, sug
gestions came pouring in (well,
maybe they trickled in.).
The winning suggestion was
submitted by December graduate
Valerie Harel. Valerie, who w as a
Small Talk artistic editor last se
mester. is currently doing practi
cal training as a publication de
signer for Pride. She plans to at
tend graduate school for (you
guessed it) publication design.
For those of you who don't
know, a pride is a company of
lions, and a company is more than
two. The Methodist College mas
cot is the lion, and there are lots of
MC students. That's the connec
tion. Clever, huh?
Many other suggestions were
considered by the staff. We baffled
over "The Forager" for awhile, but
finally concluded that foraging
didn't de.scribe our attitude.
"The Roar" was too annoying
to say; kind of like "rural."
"The Monarch." Classv, so
phisticated. yet boring and predict
able.
"On the Mane." No. We saved
"The Circuit Writer" for the Cir
cuit Players in case they ever de
cide to start a newsletter.
Here are some of the other
suggestions: The Bite. Lion Heart,
The Lair (almost The Liar!), Lion
Lingo. The Growl, Lion Eyes. Lion
Share. Lion Print, The Egg, Tooth
Truth. Quo Vadis. Lion Lair (al
most Lion Liar!), and Cat
Chronicles. We thank everyone
w'ho submitted suggestions and
hope you enjoy the new name.
Fallen Angels
On March 4-6
by Che Rivadulla
Golfers! While you're out
putting, is someone else petting the
other love in your life?
This is the issue addressed in
the Monarch Players production of
"Fallen Angels," a comedy of the
twenties by Noel Coward. The
play will be performed on March 4
and 5 at 8;00 p.m. and March 6 at
3;(X) p.m.
The plot revolves around two
women who are happily married
but as single women had an affair
w ith the same man. Now this suave
character is back and wants to meet
with both of them while their hus
bands are out meeting the fairway.
"Fallen Angels" is directed
by Summer Brock. The cast con
sists of Jeannie Denman, Sam Wil
liams, Camisha Bell, and Michele
Burdick. And making their Meth
odist College debuts are Phil Colby
and William Boche.
This is reported to be the construction tent for the new dorm
building, but some think E.T. is being held by NASA inside.
New Dorm Is On The Rise
by Bryan Harris
Construction for the new dorm is proceeding as planned and
should be completed by August 1994.
There have been no deviations from the previous building plans,
so the model that was displayed in the Student Union last fall serves as
an accurate idea for the finalized project.
No decision will be made concerning the rooming arrangements
until after spring break. When the time arrives to pre-register for rooms
for the fall semester, the new dorm will be included into the housing
choices.
