  • Dinner Theater is a success MARCH 2, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 15 SYtVA.ASC Rday night the University Player* presented their second Dinner Theater with much success as over 120 tickets were sold. There were three one-act plays beginning with "A Wedding directed by Martha Huntlev. The scene is ■ dinner following the wedding of a young Russian couple played by Maggie Mill,' and Ken Stikoleather. There is much arguing between the bridegroom and his nt-yy mother-in-law, played bv Michelle Parking. beginning the spoof yvith fast-paced humor. The funniest point of this play is yyhen the father ot the bride, portrayed by Larry Hay den, and Dimba, portrayed by Jimmy Fdyy.uds. get drunk and quibble over Russia and Greece. Dimba keeps insisting to the audience's delight that "Greece has evy very thing." The play contains the silliness that you would probably turn off if on your television, but the live performance is very enjoyable. The second play was "Slow Memories" directed by Sheila Turner. David Nutt plays the part of Martin, a young married man who is tormented by memories of the past. Nutt's dramatic appeal is sometimes weak but he manages to recount memories of his character's first sexual encounter with charming reminiscent humor. Some interesting techniques of recall were used as Martin's mother, played by Diana Marshall, walks on and off the background of the set. realistically henpecking her son. Makeup and Ms. Marshall's performance add at least 20 years to her appearance. Also appearing on and off as memories was Martin's old girlfriend, played by Lynn Bougan. Ms. Bougan sportingly portrayed a promiscuous 16 year old who Radcliffe speaks Radcliffe is in his second term as county commissioner of Buncombe County and expressed the possibility that there would be opposition to his campaign for office, but said he wouldn't resign under pressure. Professor Willaim R. Latimer of the political science department introduced Mr. Radcliffe and jokingly noted that he is a "little right of center." Latimer also noted that I he believed Radcliffe was a "rare case of an honest politician. He's not in it to make a buck and he hasn't made a buck as far as I know." The Panama Canal issue was brought up by Radcliffe who said, "I would not support the new Panama Canal treaty as it has been proposed." Radcliffe said his reasons were that he thought the present treaty was too liberal in its text. Radcliffe also attacked Gov. Jim Hunt for his decision to cut back funds to the western North Carolina child developmental programs. He noted that the program has been successful in Buncombe County, allowing women who would otherwise be home taking care of their children to have jobs. Radcliffe also noted that, "I think Gov. Hunt is going to have to change his stand before it's all over." He said that Gov. Hunt's plan of using the funds for a health care program would have to come from another source.
