The play will be presented at 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Monday Oct. 14, 15 and 17 and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16. Ad- mission is $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for students and senior citizens. Dover Theatre is located on the campus of Gardner-Webb College. egion. The play is about an aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana. Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as long as he is alive, ‘‘you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you” - so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpected- ly at his apartment on the night of his'34th birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless ‘‘nerd’’ - a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. And Rick stays on and on, his continued presence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious inci- dent after another until the nor- mally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence - a dire development which, happi- ly, is staved off by the surprising “twist’’ ending of the play. The play enjoyed a successful Broadway run as did Shue’s other well-known smash, ‘The Foreigner.” Variety termed ‘““The Nerd’’*...a spring tonic of side brusing laughter.” Misfits, Sharpshooters Win The Misfits won three of four games from Our Guys and the Sharpshooters won three of four from Jo’s Jokers in Mixed Duckpin Bowling League action Thursday night at Dilling Heating.

The new proposed also includes an upgrading of the electrical system capacity and distribution system and a 50 percent expansion of the Pilot Creek waste treatment plant, which the city is under court order to clean up by 1990. City Manager George Wood said the water pro- ject is being dropped because of its cost and ecause of more pressing priorities. The present plant has a capacity for treating 8 million gallons of water per day and normal usage runs about 5% millions. The additional storage facility for treated water, Wood said, should help the city on days when usage approcages the eight million gallon mark.
