As Angels Watch and Steak Night...
Players Challenge Audience with Controversial Issues
By Jennifer Gunsch
This Friday and Saturday at
8 p.m., M-AC will have the privi
lege of seeing two more Grey
beard Player productions. These
two plays , As Angels Watch and
Steak Night, will be presented in
Upper Anderson Auditorium.
The first play. As Angels
Watch, is about surrogate parent
hood and abortion. A childless
couple has contracted with a surro
gate set of parents. During the preg
nancy, it is discovered that the baby
has Down's Syndrome.
The contracting couple sug
gests the agreement be voided by
abortion. The incubating parents,
however, are strongly opposed to
abortion. This whole private dis
cussion takes place in a public res
taurant.
The second play. Steak Night,
deals mainly with the issue of de

mocracy and its place in family dis
cipline. The main question of the
play is whether or not kids should
have a voice in the kinds of punish
ment they receive from their par
ents.
Although the main theme deals
with the family as a dysfunctional
unit, several other ideas are present.
Another layer of meaning is added
by the recent electoral campaigns.
Both of these plays confront the
audience with some serious issues
and questions. When Brian Fuller,
director, was asked why he was pro
ducing these two plays he replied,
"There is a lot of student interest in
these issues. The Greybeard Players
feel that these are some tough issues
that students need to be confronted
with and come to grips with before
they leave M-AC."
The Greybeard Players are plan
ning one more studio production for
this semester.

tralia, and the Soviet Union.
Maestro Edvard Tchivzhel,
formerly of the Moscow State Sym
phony, will conduct the Orchestra
in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4
in F minor. Op.36. Tchivzhel, born
into a highly musical Leningrad fam
ily, showed exceptional talent from
an early age. He graduated from
Leningrad Conservatory in 1972
with the highest distinction in piano
and conducting. Various tours have
taken him around the world and he
has compiled an extensive reper
toire of both classical and modem
works and has even premiered many
new pieces. Tickets for the concert
are available for $16, $13.50, or
$10.50, depending on seating, at the
Civic Center Box Office or the Ashe
ville Symphony Office.
Lady Eagles Fall Prey
Lady Cav*s Defense Proves Stifling
By Matt Haney
At six o'clock, Friday the 13th,
the Toccoa Falls and Montreat-
Anderson ladies basketball teams
kicked-off their 1992-93 seasons
in McAlister Gym.
A black cat must have crossed
the path of The Lady Eagles' bus on
it's way across the Appalachians
from northern Georgia, because by
6:25 p.m. the visitors had still not
scored a single point. Chants of
"air ball" filled the gym, and Lori
Conard was having a hay-day with
the inbound passes that the Lady
Eagles were trying to float through.
With the score 25-0, one
would have thought that the Lady
Cavs were putting on an offensive
exhibition, but this was not the
case. The white jerseys of the M-
AC women were everywhere Toc
coa wanted to be. When the chal
lengers tried to pass the ball,Traci
Haynes or Stephanie Young inter
cepted. When they tried to drive.
Card Lucksavage stepped into the
lane, breaking up the play. De
fense like this has seldom before
visited the floor of McAlister.
Fan support proved to be the
motivator that kept the Lady Cavs'
engine fired, even when they knew
that they had put the game out of
reach for their victims. Ted
Honneycutt inspired the crowd with
spirited and sometimes demeaning
chants. 'Bull' Stinnett put in her
"HELP! HELP!" cheer so effec
tively that Toccoa's coach had to
pull one of his starters to avoid
violence.
Perfomance of the officials in
the first half was disappointing.
They must have had some sympa
thy for the opponents, calling such
things as jumpballs, all ball steals,
and incidental contacts as fouls
against the Lady Cavs so often that
even the Lady Eagles seemed sur
prised.
In the second half. Coach Bos
tic must have thought that her
younger players had gained enough
experience, because she placed her
Dorm Storm
Faculty Invited to Share Student Space
By Phil Parker
Dorm S torm is a Student Gov
ernment sponsored program aimed
to bring students and faculty to
gether for a time of fellowship.
Jeff Reardon, President of the
Sophomore Class says, "The pur
pose of this program is to break
down some of the barriers between
students and professors." The fac
ulty will stay in students' rooms
overnight Friday, November 20.
The faculty will be joining the
students for their normal Friday
night activities.
Any student interested in
housing a faculty member please
contact Jeff Reardon this week.

involved. Grab a faculty member

upper classmen onto the hardwood
for an extended period of time.
Daphanie Bousum dominated
the rebounds and 'Snippy' Snipes
had so many fast breaks that one
would have thought she was in prac
tice with another player feeding her
the ball. Alison Swanger, true to
last year's reputation, proved she
was the lady to push the ball up-
court.
As the game wound down
Dayna Staton turned up the heat.
Though sometimes a little reluctant
to pull out from underneath on de
fense, she hit the boards for re
bounds on both ends and for a brief
period of time was the only player
scoring from the rosters of either
squad.
As the dust settled and the
Eagles' mourning began, the score
read 84-36. The jubilant home
crowd celebrated their victory with
a 50's dance in Howerton Cafeterira.
The only remaining formal
ity was to pick the Aletheia
Player of the Game. The choice
came down to the outstanding
performances of Amy Baker and
Stephanie Young. Baker, by
virtue of a little more hustle and
a slightly better shot on this par
ticular night, edged out Young
to become the Aletheia's Player
of the Game.
