Town Theatre's production i
Oscar Wilde's classic corned
"The Importance of Being Ea
nest," is like a visit with a favori
rplativp ? a wittv misc.hiftvm
uncle who loves puns.
Since it was first performed
1895, "Earnest" has been descritx
as "the most frothy, artificial ai
wittily trivial play in the Engli
language." Nearly 100 years lat(
it is still one of the most product
plays in the world.
The play, which opens Frid;
and runs through Feb. 15, is t!
story of an elegant wastrel nam
John "Jack" Worthing, played I
David Reed, who invents a disst
ute younger brother named Ern(
who serves as an alibi when
goes on a fling.
Not to be outdone, Jack's frier
Algernon Moncrieff, played I
Bill Canaday, invents a sick frie:
named Bunbury as an excuse
beg off boring social functions.
Alibis get out of hand when /
gernon appropriates the name I
nest when starting a romance w:
Jack's pretty young ward, Ceci
played by Carol Kirby, and Jacl
fiancee, Gwendolen, played 1
Carol Cartzendafner.

Thoughts on "It's not practical to want to create
USC another Harvard here. The public is
no longer willing to fund those
dreams. We're here for the students."
What college "How to take a set of beliefs, a cause
taught him and to champion that. To pursue it
until others adopt that cause."
Hobbies Running, fitness and pleasure reading

of education and health."

for my educational liberalism."
Although he has been the heart and soul of the University
101 program since 1974, Gardner still manages
to squeeze in time to go running and do things with
his 16-year-old son, Jonathan, who he says "is sort of
like a hobby."
Having always enjoyed people, he came to USC to
teach because he saw a lot of potential to make a difference
here with the onset of integration, and civil
rights movement. He said he enjoys USC's diversity,
and the fact that it's the most liberal institution in the
state.
"We are given a lot of teaching freedom here. I got
appointed to the University 101 program because I
was a risk-taker, and I've never had any road blocks
set in front of me."
He said his greatest strength as a professor is that
he is still able to see the college experience through
his students eyes.
"My greatest weakness, however," he said, "is failing
to lead a balanced life. I need to do something
about that before I get much older, or when my son ,
finally leaves the nest I'll be lost."
