What's in a Moon?
by Teresa A. Hymes
Staff Writer
The Moon. What images does it
evoke for you? Do you think of the
Apollo landings, moon rocks, the
last frontier, and Neil Arm
strong? Or perhaps the moon
reminds you of green cheese, a
snowball, the Man in the Moon,
and Mother Goose. Is the moon a
source of mystery and wonder for
you? If so, and especially if not,
then Many Moons is for you.
Many Moons is a performance
of North American literature
about the moon. It is being
directed by Barbara Schleunes
for the Community Theater with
Margaret Boyd as the assistant
director and choreographer. The
main theme *s based on James
Thurber's children's story Many
Moons but the production also in
cludes poetry, song and dance,
folk tales, and nursery rhymes.
Barbara, who directed last year's
production of From the Mixed Up
Files of Mrs. Basil E.
Frankweiler and who is currently
working with children through
the Gifted and Talented "Month
caused by a door being propped
open by a resident, resulted in the
assault of a female junior, who
asked not to be identified.
The intruder gained entrance
and waited until the woman left
her room to get a drink of water
at the fountain. At this time, he
entered her room and physically

"bring literature alive for
children in order to increase their
interest, understanding, and ap
preciation of the written form."
To this end the play is staged so
that the audience as well as the
actors are on the stage. Accor
ding to Barbara this type of
closeness creates an intimacy
which enhances the effect that
she is trying to acheive. In some
cases the players will even go in
to the audience.
The cast of Many Moons in
cludes three Guilford students -
Gracie Moorer, Joy Elizabeth
Opaleski, and Steven Saltzgiver -
as well as three community
members - Frances Bradburn,
Charles Drake, and Joyce
Ferguson. This production
demands a great deal of versatili
ty from the actors as they are re
quired to transform themselves
into a variety of different
characters without the benefit of
costume changes. According to
Gracie Moorer this involves "a
combination of body movements,
facial expressins, and changes in
the tonal qualities of the voice."

A struggle ensued and the co-ed

screams attracting the attention
of her friends on the hall. In the
time that it took for her compa

the assailant was gone.
Good Doctor
in the House
by Joseph C. Pardington
News Editor
Guilford's major spring pro
duction, Neil Simon's The Good
Doctor opened Thursday the 24th
at 8:15 pm and runs until Sunday
the 27th at 8:15 pm, in Stern
berger Auditorium.
Adapted from a series of short
stories by Anton Chekov, The
Good Doctor will be shown "in
the round" a style where the
stage is surrounded by spectators
on most sides. This theater-in
the-round style differs from most
in that it gives the whole audience
better visability of the play.
The Good Doctor is divided into
two acts with total of nine scenes.

Immediately on the scene was
the first-floor intern and an off

A complete description is not
available due to the fact that the
assailant turned off the lights as
he pushed the woman into the
room, "white male, medium
height and build" is the most ac
curate report of the intruder. A
male was seen, however, running
across the football field about the
time of the attack.
Following the incident, a
telephone chain was enacted
alerting all the co-ordinaters of
female housing, including the
Lodge and the Pope House, the
check the locks of all doors and
windows, to prevent further
harm. No problems were
reported from any of the other
dormitories.
There is speculation that the in
vader was a Guilford College stu
dent, as there appeared to be
some familiarity with the dorm
and room layout.
As a result of this attack, a 24
hour lock-up is imposed on all
female dormitories with in
creases security for the Binford-
Shore-Mary Hobbs area. The
Greensboro Police, who respond
ed to the Thursday morning call
with two patrol cars, will also be
increasing their surveillance of
the campus.
Any persons with information
that might be of help in identify
ing the assailant should contact
Bob White, Director of Security
of Guilford College.
