Black College Weekend, named
by many as one of die Southeast's
most popular spring break events,
will lake place at Daytona Beach
April 2-4.
Black College Weekend is not a
formal event or sponsored by any
particular organization. It grew out
of a tradition when students from
historically black colleges and universities
started converging at
Daytona several years ago.
Students from schools such as
Morehouse, Tuskegee and Howard,
as well as IISC, Clemson, the
University of Georgia and other
schools throughout the Southeast
attend.
Many USC students have attended
Black College Weekend at least
once, while others will be attending
the event for the first time this
year.
Senior Victor Jones said, "I think
it is the equivalent of spring break
for traditionally black schools, and
it's good to see black students from
across the country get together."

From Staff Reports
"The Rimers of Eldritch," a drama
depicting hypocrisy and deterioration
in small-town America,
opens today at Longstreet Theatre
and runs through March 21.
The play was written in 1967 by
Lanford Wilson and centers around
the murder of a citizen of the small
town of Eldritch and the subsequent
d ial of die killer.
Eldritch is a sad little town
where die murder is die only thing
that has happened since the only
movie theater went out of business
eight years earlier.
Through flashbacks and flashforwards,
Wilson unfolds the true
nature of the play's characters and
unveils the real circumstances surrounding
the shooting.
The show features a 17-member
cast of undergraduate students,
most of whom are enrolled in
USC's department of theatre,
speech and dance, and is directed
by Dewey Scott-Wiley, who is finishing
her graduate degree in theI

Weekend draws
For some USC students, Black
College Weekend has become
something ol a tradition. Senior
Jerome Dawson lias made the trip
to Daytona three .times and hopes
to go again ihis April.
"The black college reunion
weekend has gotten larger over the
years since it was first started by
South Carolina State, Florida A &
M and Bethune-Cookman,"
Dawson snifl "Now von hnvp nnr
ticipaiion from schools all over like
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia."
Dawson said the weekend was
filled with activities. "They have
free outdoor concerts, step shows,
happy hour at the hotels and a
block party on Bethune-Cookman's
campus," he said.
For many students, one of the
best aspects of Black College
Weekend is the opportunity to meet
new people and make new friends.
"It was a lot of fun, and I'm still
in contact with some of the people
I met last year," junior Nicki
Tresvant said. "Everyone is looking
forward to it this year."

She said the play presents a lessthan-idy
11 ic view of small-town
life. "Lanford Wilson takes the universal
idea of sweet, homespun
small-town life and turns it inside
out," Scott-Wiley said.
She also said it is a contrast from
previous plays staged at the
Theaue.
"Wilson's town is claustrophobic

opposite of the classic 'Our Town,'
which we staged earlier this season,"
Scott-Wiley said. "'Rimers'
isn't milk and cookies at all."
The "Rimers" of the title is a
play on the word "rime," which
means frost, Scott-Wiley said.
"Wilson is playing on the idea that
the people in this town are stiff,
frozen and unable to change," she
said.

describe it as fun and exciting.
"It was a lot of fun, plus you get
to meet a lot of guys," sophomore
Cheryl Laribo said.
Sophomore Debbie Bouknight
had mixed feelings about Black
College Weekend. "With so many
of our people there in one place,
it's nice to see no violence and
everyone in harmony," she said.
"It's like everyone's a family."
Bouknight added a cautionary
note. "You have to be careful
because some guys come down
there, and their intentions aren't all
that good," she said.
"The hippest thing is that you
see different things you've never
seen before," SCSU junior Ouane
Walters said. "You meet a lot of
girls, listen to Miami music arid
meet people from all over."
