by Jeremy Wilteeven
There arc few rock and roll bands that
make it to the big time. But, Silly, a band out of
Boone, is destined to do it. They have just
released a new CD, titled Will You Go Willi Me ?,
and this summer they plan to tour from Massa
chusetts to Florida and as far west as California.
Jake Barrow, a Montrcal-Anderson fresh
man, is lead-guitanst and sings forthe group. He
says, "We play because we want to make people
happy and we want to be happy.”
Other Silly members include; Barton
Carrol on bass and vocals and Rich Rominger on
drums, llicy are an energy- tilled threesome who
can be compared to the speed of Green Day with
a touch of the Violent Femmes.
The bam! formed over three years ago and
progressively played to larger audiences. They
are currently enjoying air lime on ASU radio
station, 95.7, and The Fox in Charlotte. They can
also be heard as far west as San Diego. Tlie new
CD is their first, but they have previously re

Sluggers Expect to Polish Diamond this Season
Amy Buckner
The Montrcal-Anderson Baseball team
enters the 1995 season as one o f the tea ms to beat
in the Conference race. The program has grown
in respectability on the past two seasons from a
5lh place finish in the Cavs inaugural season in
thcTVAC to a 3rd place finish in 1994 with a 12-
9 overall conference record. In fact, the Cava
liers have a 23-22 overall mark in their first two
Reasons in the TV AC. 1994 also was a milestone
because the Cavaliers reached the district play
offs. lliis experience will be vital to a club that
returns 6 starting position players and 4 pitchers.
In fact 16 players return fiom last years sipiad.

Hatcher who won 9 games in 94. Hatcher has
taken the lead in what could be a very fine
Pitching Staff.
Key additions to the 1995 team include
Pilchers Tony Camby, Gary Owenby, and Chris
Wood. Position players include Shane Pressley,
and the return of 1993 Cavalier All-Conference
player Jay Johnson.
In the pre-season Conference picks, the

Wesleyan who is ranked #23 in llie Pre-Season

1995 promises to be very exciting. The
season is right around llie corner and if the team
malures and jells together, the Cavs could be in

by M. Janie King
Tokyo Art student Akiko Matsumoto
put the finishing touches on Montreal's largest
artwork Monday afternoon. Matsumoto was
commissioned by the Greybeard Players to
paint the stage for their Spring production.
Fortress.
Her “canvas'' now resembles an over
sized headstone, engraved with the famous
Supennan logo.
JoeTroutman, Ihc show’s Technical Di
rector, came back early from Christmas break
to start construction on the massive stageexlen-
sion. Mea.suring roughly 25 feet on a side, the
platfonn will enlarge the existing stage of Up
per Anderson Auditorium to a total depth of 40
feet.
Biblc/Religion major Troutman boasts,
“The technical aspects of this play will be
amazing. It will take a lot of talent and hard
work to pull something of this magnitude off."
I'he stage is built in such a way that the
drama troupe will likely never build plalfonns
again. Coffin locks have becji added in order to
secure the stage's reusable, uniform segments.
For further visual and dramatic interest,
the entire stage has been sloped or “mked” to
ward the audience.
The new stage calls for a new seating
arrangement. Audiences of Fortress will be
.sealed on three sides of the perfomiing area,
instead of in the single bank of chairs opposite
Ihc conventional proscenium stage.
This configuration was first made popular
in the famed amphitheaters of ancient Greece.
The “thrust" stage is currently enjoy ing a revival
of use because it lends to more thoroughly in
volve audiences in the action of the play.
Rehearsals for Fortre.ss began last week
with performances scheduled Thursday, April
20, through Saturday, April 22,
