If you ever wondered how Martin Short
created the character Ed Grimley or how comedians
in general create their skits, then it might
be worth your while to see The Second City
touring troupe at the Koger Center on Thursday.
The Second City was formed in 1959 as a
comic "Mecca," its purpose being a center for
the development of budding comic writers and
actors. Former players that have hit the big time
include Alan Alda, John Belushi, John Candy,
Bill Murry and Martin Short. Some of the most
well known characters created by Second City
are Ed Grimley, Bob and Doug MacKenzie and
Guy Caballero.

of shows, the audience has been pulled into the
act by providing the actors with a scenerio 01

Game Ball I
money for l\
By SHARON WILLIAMSON
Managing Editor
After running 140 miles in 18
hours, two USC fraternities hope
race relations will be improved.
Beginning at 7 a.m. Friday at
Williams-Brice Stadium, Alpha
* Phi Alpha and Delta Upsilon
fraternities will run the ClemsonCarolina
game ball to Clemson's
Death Valley.
Game Ball Run is designed to
raise money for multiple sclerosis
and promote better race relations
among greeks, according to Delta
I Upsilon Game Ball Run Chairman
Rav Tnnp.i
"We really want to show that
ck black and white greeks can work
together," said Jones, a finance se'
nior. Both fraternities have creeds
against discrimination, and both
have brothers of the opposite race
on other campuses, he said.
About 70 brothers will particiL
pate in the run, which Delta Upsilon
has coordinated for the past
three years.
Alpha Phi Alpha Game Ball
c Run Chairman Jezreel Sweat, a
political science senior, said there
is a negative relationship between
black and white greek organizal~
tions and hopes Game Ball Run
n will create a better relationship.
"Hopefully, this can be a starting
point where other organiza?
tions of different backgrounds,
cultures and faces can come
together to work and achieve a
s certain goal and not let our differences
impede our progress," he
said, adding that it also puts the
university in a positive light
_ Althletic Director King Dixon
will hand the ball to the Multiple
Sclerosis Person of the Year Bob
Bailey, who will wheel the first
stretch of the race.

Ion brother Eric Paine believes this
brought the purpose of the run to a
more personal level.
'That was the first time we actually
had a chance to meet someone
with multiple sclerosis and get
a first-hand account ot what we
are working for," said Paine, an
international studies senior who
added that past game ball runs
have been somewhat detached.
"But now we can identify with it,
and it is on a more personal level,"
he said.
Sprints will take the run out of
Columbia, where the route will
turn to rural roads and the pace
will slow down. Each person runs
as far as he can and hands the ball
to another runner, according to
Paine.
The fraternities have been working
well together and have been
enthusiastic, Paine said.
"I think they are about as psyched
up for it as we are," he said.
"I think it does a lot to promote
good relations ... and sets a good
example that, together, groups like
this can achieve really good ends."
The goal for the run is to raise
$5,000, which is twice as much as
was collected last year, according
to Delta Upsilon brother Andy
Bosman, a senior in journalism
who believes the two organizations
working together will be able to
laiai/ uiuic uiuncy uns year.
Jones said the fraternities' interaction
has improved. The fraternities
have had a cookout, a Softball
game and will participate in a
stepshow at 9 p.m. Thursday night
in the Russell House Ballroom.
'The stepshow is geared toward
pleasing a mixed crowd," he said.
Admission is $2, with all profits
going to multiple sclerosis.
Donations cart be made by calling
799-7848.
