To direct his whimsical period work, the college has secured the services of Dr William Martin, who is well versed in the classics as well as modern productions. Martin directed the 197S production of "The Lieutenant" in New York and the show garnered five Tony nomina tions and six Drama Desk nomina tions. He is a native of Colorado and received his undergraduate educa tion at Bob Jones University in drama as well as a master's degree. He earned his Ph.D from the Univer sity of Wisconsin. During his first visit to Mars Hill in 1979. Martin directed Shakespeare's The Tempest." Subsequent vists saw Martin staging several plays for the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre (SART), including "Fiddler on the Roof," "On Golden Pond," "To Kill a Mockingbird," and the world premier of "Magnets." As director. Martin does not take liberties with the play's original scripting, but he does try to present the play from a unique viewpoint. With "The Tempest," he felt like the interior of Owen Theatre seemed to be like the interior of the ship that wrecks near- the enchanted island. For "She Stoops to Conquer," he devised the viewpoint of telling the story from the servants' point of view. The play involves a number of deceptions and disguises. Goldsmith originally subtitled the play, "The Mistakes of A Night." The plot in volves two couples and their prospec tive marriages. In fact, the couples would rather switch prospective spouses and all sorts of schemes and trickery evolve. The play will open in the college's Owen Theatre on May 7 and will con tinue through Sunday, May 12. The play will begin at 8 p.m. A special matinee showing has been scheduled for Sunday, May 12, at 1:30 p.m. Reservations are required and may be made through the Owen Theatre Box Office by calling 689-1239 anytime between 1 and 5 p.m. daily.

Anders filed suit in Madison County Superior Court against agents of the South Carolina Tax Commission, charging the agents with damaging his property during a I960 search of his Shelton Laurel home. Anders sought both compensatory and punitive damages after failing to in duce the tax men to apologize for the damages. In testimony before the court, Anders said the agents lured him to South Carolina on false pretenses so that they could investigate his holdings in Madison County. When the tax men arrived at the Anders home, they found that Mrs. Anders had not accompanied her husband to South Carolina. When they saw Mrs. Anders, the tax man beat a hasty retreat in their car, causing damages to Anders' pro perty and killing his pet cat. Madison County Tax Collector Harold Wallin testified that men representing themselves as agents of the "South Carolina IRS" had visited his office inquiring about Anders at the time the incident occurred in I960. The court denied Anders any punitive damages ig the case, but a Superior Court jury awarded him $3,000 in compensatory damages. Anders has Tiled an appeal in the case regarding the denial of punitive damages. I Scouts
