Many comedians got their start with the group: Alan Alda, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, John Candy, Shelley Long, Bill Murray, Joan Rivers and Martin Short, to name a few. According to the group’s associate producer, Kelly Leonard, Saturday’s from page 1 department, they could decide to have it open or closed.

Brittian nity and the University still exemplified a plantation system. The way the sys tem treats blacks has not changed much, he added. “The boldness of the system is a little more sophisticated, more covert,” Brittian said. “There isn’t as much out ward abuse and degrading words. It’s a little more economical instead of social. “When you look at the number of blacks in middle and upper positions, it doesn’t match the number in the com munity,” he added. “The system will let a couple of blacks make it to the top and then say ‘They made it, you can make it too.’ The token system is still present.” Brittian writes a weekly column for performance will be a “best-of ’ show, encompassing some scenes developed 10 to 20 years ago and some presently being played on the main stages.

I want everyone to know what’s going on in my opinion and how I see things in the community.” Hilliard Caldwell, a member of the Cairboro Board of Aldermen, has known Brittian since high school and said he considered him to be an integral part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community. “It takes people like Brittian to get things done in the community,” Caldwell said. “It’s people like him that make good elected officials. He’s very concerned with the injustices that people experience.” Brittian currently is the coordinator CCL As S OF 19 9 3 SENIORS: Come nominate your favorite faculty and/or outstand ing senior by March Ist Forms are in senior class office Bring pictures by senior class office for the Senior Record.
