The show is broadcast on cable channel 10, USC-TV,. the
student-run television station.
Danny Glover's Just A Sensitive Guy Danny Glover may
be the most saintly guy in Hollywood. Or so says his buddy, Mel
Gibson. "He's always doing something for underprivileged people/'
Gibson said in the Feb. 10 issue of People magazine. "I don't
know anybody who allots that much time to helping others."
Glover, who stars with Gibson in the "Lethal Weapon" movies,
plays-the philosophical tow truck driver SimonTn~"G?nd Canyon."-"There's
a lot of "Danny's spirit and personality in this part,"
Laurence Kasdan, director "Grand Canyon," said. "Both he and Simon
have this sadness, because they are sensitive to what's going
on in the world. They are not oblivious to the suffering around
them."
Glover has given black filmmakers a boost by starring in their
small, independent movies and has barnstormed the country on behalf
of literacy.
15 Years Ago At USC: (From Feb. 3, 1977 issue of
The Gamecock.) USC President William H. Patterson announced
Tuesday, Feb. 1, 1977 that the university would close at 5 p.m.
Wednesday for two weeks because of freezing temperatures.
The university had difficulty getting adequate oil supplies to operate
the power plants which heat the dormitories. The few classes
and tests scheduled for Saturday were expected to be held.
Special events scheduled during the shutdown v^ere cancelled or
rescheduled for a later date. The only two major buildings on campus
that remained open were the Carolina Coliseum and the Thomas
Cooper Library.

The calls at three in the moi
ing. The drunk residents who ca
function by themselves. T
threatening residents who refuse
get along with each other or
obey rules.
Although these situations pre
ably are not in their job descr
tions, about 125 student reside
advisers deal with this eve
semester. The job does have
benefits, RAs say, but the negati
aspects are often overlooked.
For the RAs in the Towe:
whose residents are nrimari
freshman, the job is especially d
ficult. "You're here to see h(
they're adjusting, to be there :
them if they need someone to U

Not just anyone can become

Tuttle's 'Cafe'
shows struggle
to hold on
Jon Tuttle's new drama, "Terminal
Cafe," reminds us that
there are some things in life
worth fighting for at any cost.
The play, which is being performed
at Workshop Theatre, is
set in the early 1940s in San Ga- I
briel, n.m. People in tne small
town are confronted with the reality
that they are a part of a much
bigger, rapidly changing world. t
There is a war going on, not
only in the world, but within the
town itself. McKay (Billy DuBose)
is a crooked businessman de- *
termined to develop and commer- ?
cialize San Gabriel. However, the
fiesty, strong-willed Kate (Jennifer
Ray) will settle for nothing
of the sort. She fights him to the _
end to hold on to her ranch, her
dreams and the sunset.
Carly (Lori Jordan) represents i
everything mysterious and desirable
in the changing world. The
curious young BB (Jason Gantt
II) is so intrigued by her that he
joins me Navy to experience tnat
mystery and change. In doing so,
he exchanges his innocence for
the ugliness of war.
Everyone else in San Gabriel is
trying to hold on to something. tl
Joe (Houston McMillion) is
y holding on to the way things used
lt to be, and Ben (Keith Ritter) ^
can't seem to let go of his pride.
Ro (Susan Fulmer) has finally
;t found love with Dawson (Gene
Aimone), and declares in a touchr_
ing scene that if true love can be
!_ found, it must be held. ^
y !' < The characters ; have so much
ie worth holding on to, yet sadly, in ?
the end so much is lost. The pre- c
is sence of an Indian, Floyd (Jeff
f- Craver), perhaps suggests the gree
ater significance of all that was
h lost by Native Americans.
e Floyd has slipped into oblivion
s. to the world around him, and all
y, he has left to hold on to are his
ig stories,
i.
The entire show is outstanding,
m and the last scene is incredible.
1_ The technical aspects of the play
are perfect. The music selection
s is excellent, and a great job is
V done on the set and lighting.
"Terminal Cafe" is the winner
e- of the 1991 New Voices III comto
petition and is certainly one not
e- to miss. Directed by David Avin,
the play will run through Feb. 8.
