And in the movie,"The Color Purple," with brilliant direction from Steven Spielberg, Alice Walker's novel of love and life comes to the screen to reach those it was originally written for ? those who have seen the harsh realities of Celie's life. Celie, played by Whoopi Goldberg, has been raped by her stepfather, torn away from her sister and married to a man who beats her. Despite this, her spirit wanders, and through the dark eyes of Goldberg, the viewers realize Celie's pain and the potential strength of her spirit. Goldberg, normally a character comedienne, wrote Walker to get the role. She is well-suited for the character of Celie, who, though not physically beautiful, has an inner beauty The cast members of the South Carolina Cars headline By MARY JO MILLER Spotlight editor Ask the person sitting in class i describe a ballet, and they are bou swans, tutus and classical music, bu not say anything about foreign spot However, Alpha Romeos, Porchi raris have replaced nutcrackers beauties in Marcus Alford's ballet, The dance, featured in the South Theatre's jazz production, "A Hot spired by the late French race-car Villeneuve.

Shug Avery, the outgoing singer who Celie's husband Mister is in love with, is portrayed excellently by Margaret Avery. Shug's zest for life and her emotional attachment to the past equal Celie's, although unlike Celie, her anger is not quiet. Shug, a preacher's daughter, is won over by Celie's desperation and writes a song, "Miss Celie's Blues," just for her. An intimate relationship begins between the two women, which though more chaste on screen than in the novel, doubtless will shock many viewers. This relationship teaches Celie to respect herself and her ideals, which no one has ever done for her before. In this, Celie realizes her potential and fortunately, so does the movie.

Sky, who attended USC, is exhibiting an architectural profile of the campus, "Skylines," Jan. 2 to Feb. 12 at McKissick. "The university is a vibrant force in Columbia. One can't help but see the beautiful architecture and the excitement on campus. I think that attracted Blue Sky," said Lynn Robertson Myers, McKissick Museum's chief curator.

Many South Carolinians are only ^ familiar with Llue Sky's murals and may be suprised at the impact of these small-scale paintings. "These images are evocative of small?scale landscape paintings painted for domestic interiors earlier in this century or even the 19th century," Myers said. However for fans of Blue Sky's larger, less traditional works, the exhibit includes several earlier pieces, including a life-size parking place with trash ground into the asphalt. Prints of one canvas, an aerial view of McKissick Museum in the late afternoon, will be available for purchase in the future.
