The Professor and the Children Harvard professor of psychiatry and medical humanities and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Coles is a leading authority on the issues of poverty, racial discrimination and the life of the child. Best known for his massive multi-volume study of children under stress, Children of Crisis, in recent years he has been engaged in an extended, study of the spiritual and religious life of children. Examining how children from a variety of backgrounds acquire religious values, Coles is exploring the ways these values connect with a given child’s life. He delivers the lecture, "The Moral Life of Children in a Multicultural World,” on Monday, February 12 at 4:30 PM in Campbell Hall. A Bit of Verse for Valentine’s Day This Valentine’s Day, Wednesday, February 14, UCSB presents two distinct voices in poetry, one an established American poet, the other a critically acclaimed writer of Chinese/Malaysian descent.

It was an ac­ tor’s joke and they each understood its re­ ality all too well. There was no one around Snidecor Hall the afternoon they were interviewed, save for a bicyclist zipping past, as the three actors talked about their craft. While they were contacted for this article randomly, they found much in common, especially when the subject was commit­ ment to the stage. “I have no choice but to be an actor. It’s what I’m cut out to be and I’m using the ■gifts I was given,” said Steve Decker, a cast member of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor,” which is scheduled for later serious. this quarter. “We have to do it. Just gotta do it. You can’t wake up when you’re 50 and realize you’ve lived your life and never answered the question of whether you could or couldn’t have made it as an actor,” he added. Though each is unique, they hold a common fascination for the actor’s lifes­ tyle. They all view the risk of success or failure and the insecurity of employment as the ultimate challenge. Artsweek Asked “Acting’s been said to be an addiction and a curse,” says Gwyn Fawcett, who Three UCSB Actors plays April in “Savage in Limbo.” “I tend to disagree with the second, but it is some­ thing you can’t stop once you’ve started to Talk About Their and even when I haven’t been able to act, I’ve involved myself in acting through Work and How stage management and production.

It was just like real love.” Fawcett described an intense emo­ tional rush centered around fear. “I was working on a scene in ‘Savage in Limbo’ where I go crazy. It’s tough to make some­ thing like this real, so the director helped me with an improvisation exercise. She had me sit in the center of the empty theatre. I was alone with my eyes closed, tiying to imagine a vicious animal inside me that was coming out. Then I imagined its nails coming through my skin and then its hair and teeth all tearing out of my body. It was terribly vivid and I got so scared that I had to open my eyes." On a stage placed amidst tables in a dinner-theatre atmosphere was the set­ ting for a model experience, Mills re­ called.
