PAQE8 THE TVflG NOVEMBER 12. 1984 John Creagh [Continued from Page 7] Cornhuskin' '84 [Continued from Page 1] Meredith, but the male-oriented cast might have a problem here.“ln the past, they've found ways around that," he ^(plains. When he’s not busy at Meredith, Or. Creagh spends his time running, doing volunteer In the Public School system,and entertaining his' little girl (Who’s often seen walking around Transfer students anrlving at the U. of Notre Oame often had two Immediate handicaps; They couldn’t get space In crowded residence halls and were thus cut off from a main social outlet; and, they were seen as infeirior people who failed to get Into Notre Dame as fresh en. By solving the transfer students’ first problem, a new Student Qoverment pnsgram hopes to also eliminate the second. The Adopt-a-Transfer program matches incoming transfer students with' one of NO’S 24 domiltorles, The “adoptee” is invited, by a donm reslctent.to attend social functions, halt council meetings, and other group and individual activities. "Social life here revolves around the dorms," says Student Body Vice President Cathy David. “Students tend to stay In the same dorm,, with the same people, for the Meredith with her Daddy!) Dr. Creagh has adjusted well at Meredith and seems to be enjoyed by the majority of his students. Besides belnga teacher, he is also a theatre enthusiast and a “family man." I encourage all students Interested In speech and drama to sign up for his Spring classes. You won’t be disappolntedi whole time they live on campus. That’s where you make friends, But many transfers live off-campus- because they can’t get Into the dorms- so they have trouble getting to know other students." The other stigma-intellectuai In- ferlority-ls a generalization that can be broken down by Individual contact, says David. “We’resfisuming these people can make friends on their own- once they ha\« the chance. To kick off the program, the Student Govennent collected names of transfer students from the registrar, and names of residents from each participating dormitory. "V\/e wanted the contact to be personal-a phone call from a resident of a dorm, not a letter,” says David. The program hit a few stumbling blocks, the registrar didn't have local addresses and phone numbers for many transfers- finding those took time. more class’ skit Thursday night. Kim Williams continued to "go for the gold" In portrayal of a gold medal In the Tali Tale. A train station near “Sooyvlile” was the setting for hog-callin', Joan Wyatt, Angle IHerbert, Velvet Cannon, Suzanne Browne, and Nancy Floyd were the sophomore "hog^ailers". The sopho- TTwres wer In perfect hamimy under the direction of "Sister" Kimbwly Han/Is, who, dressed as the nun In “The Sound of Music” led the class |n songs form the musfcai. Joan Wyatt, the appie-bobber, and Susan Suiter, the com shucker, repre sented their class well. The sophomores’ props and costumes were great. The sophomores were lucky to have two terri fic c&«halrmen • Leslie Swain and Becky Smith. “Where's There’s Smoie There’s Fire” The juniors "fired up” the Com- huskln’ audience. Tl^e theme of the skit was a forest fire. Players in the skit were Renee Gpdwin, Joan Collins, Bridgette Parker, Lisa Clar1(, Cathy Carlton, l^ra Watts, Rosemary Hampton, Jenny Bird, Georgia Parish, Carla Herce, Nancy Humbert, Beth Miguel and Lori Deughtery. Each one did a great )ob of keeping the audience aware of smoke and fire. The talt tale was performed by a cigarette, Barbara Andrews. Hog callin’ had a barnyard theme with the traditional “sooey”. Players were Charlotte KInnard, Stelta Miller, Donna Elliot, and Laura Cochrane. Nancy Shore led the songs with the music from Sound of Music with beau tiful harmony. The Juniors, represented by Laura Cochrane, won apple bobbin', >A^ile Stella Miller won com shuckin’ for the class. The props and costumes were also fantastic. Juniors did a great Job led by co-chairmen Ann McGee and Glnny Leach. “And Justice for All” The seniors came Into Jones Audi torium detenmlned to show their true colors, and they did - red - white • and blue. Their skit, with Chrissy Parsons, Joan Bunting, Bina Durham, and Janie Barnes,.centered around 1^. Rushmore and showed the audience what "Justice for All” really means. Lady Justice, Anne Fowler, gave us the low down on what Justice reaily is. For the hog-callin', the seniors very appropriately chose an election theme; tlie speakers were Zan Bunn, Susan Currie, Carole Jean Ricks, Julie Travino, Melissa Rhyme, and Linda Boothe. The songs were led by Anita Waters as Uncle Sam, and Anna Speers and Lynn Stutts consists in the arrangement. Lynn Walker was the com stiucker, and Marjorie Goodman ms the apple bobber.
