The play, which won a Tony Award and ran over 1000 consecutive performances on Broadway, is based on a true story of a blind man who was asked to report for induc tion into the armed services and classified 1-A. The Newberry College Thea tre is one of the first, if not the first, educational theatre in the United States to produce “Butterflies are Free,” accord ing to Sanderson. “Fiddler on the Roof,” the longest running play in the his tory of Broadway, is ths story of the expulsion of the Jews from Russia. The Newberry College Theatre and the Depart ment of Music will co-sponsor the production. The musical will go on tour to South Carolina high schools in late January before it is presented to the Newberry audience on Feb. 7 and continuing for four conse cutive nights until Feb. 10. “The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds,” written by Paul Zindel, won the Pulitzer Prize, the Obie Award, and the New York Drama Cri tics Award. The play, the story of a vindictive widow and her destructive relationships with her two young daughters, will be performed May 3, 4, and 5. u The Newberry College Theatre is for all students. We want to urge everyone, regard less of their majors, to try out for the plays,” Sanderson said. Letter to Editor Dear Editor: I would like to take the op portunity to thank Senator Nick Zeigler for his attempts to put honesty back into South Caro lina politics. Senator Zeigler has shown himself to be a man of high integrity. By his chal lenge for debate with his oppo- sues, and by his financial re port to the public, he has open ed the way for a new day in politics. I heard Senator Zeigler speak two weeks ago and was very impressed with his concern for the people of our state. His stories of what his committee found in the state juvenile re form schools must have touched home with every parent in the audience. He did not talk with us of the dangers of Russia or China or use scare tactics. Instead, he talked about edu cation, health care, high taxes and high prices. In other words, he talked about the problems that my husband and I face every day. He also told us what he intends to do about such things. I realize that one man can not accomplish miracles to solve all the problems we face. But Mr. Thurmond has been in office for a long time and I cannot say that he has done anything to help me and my family. I say we should at least give Senator Zeigler one term in office to see what he can do. Sincerely, Mrs. Sandra D. Ballington 905 Mohegan Trail West Columbia, S.
