Major A Being Ne BY DAVID IIAVHI)D Entertainment Editor "Theater is a major part of the arts, but , in the educational sense, is the most neglected. We're bringing theater to the students rather than keeping it isolated, with the hope of getting students interested in theater as a per forming as well as a spectative art." Ellen Murray, president of University Players, hopes one way to garner interest is by offering short courses in various areas of theater, taught in Longstreet Theatre at Sumter and Green. These courses are free to all students. According to Murray, until last semester University Players existed in name only. Then they t became active and produced a series of one-acts performed in the New Golden Spur. The idea of short courses also came to fruition then. "Last semester we offered a short course in stage movement and dance,", Murray said. "It was very successful-- about 20 people from all areas of the student body were enrolled. "This semester we are expanding to offer four courses with the hope of adding several t more some time next month." The courses currently offered are Renaissance dancing , stage movement and dance, stage management, and juggling. Renaissance dancing is taught Mondays at 1:25 and 2:30 p.m. , The Other Place, ILEWULEL VL LUtLLuLL 1. Saturda at high Lu LLLE 2. 3 categJos a wme s LUiLi~' 3. $1 enftry 4.
