"The art of mime is not very popular down t here in the South. From Washing- J ton, D.C., on up, there are a lot of ^ mimes. But from there on down, ( there are very few. I feel that this t campus is an ideal place for mime \ because there's such a large diversity of students here. And, it would 1 enlighten their minds on the art s form." 1 Unfortunately, there are some ( people who do not understand the i art of mime.

Arts Commission and to help underprivileged children. "I want to share vhat I have with kids," he said. The time that he spends with dds only mimics the time he ipends with his daughter, Serena, le said. "She's great. She talks ab>ut me a lot. She can relate and mderstands that my acts are all heater and its okay". * ? ?
