VAC Rep March6toApril23,1988* Lectures by Patricia Canavan News Staff Writer BERMUDA Shelly Aranson was the most re- cent speaker in a series of noon lectures sponsored by the Wom- en's Center. A graduate of the Trinity IDP program, Aranson COLLEGE WEEKS spoke on the purpose of the Vol- unteer Action Center (VAC), a group for whom she now works. Aranson discussed the role of VAC as an intermediary between people who want to volunteer and non-profit organizations that need volunteers. She addressed the many "cre- ative and exciting opportunities" for people who want to volunteer, stressing that even if one does not have very much time to give, there is always a way in which one can help. "There are so many ways you can give of yourself. Talent is something that you can do easily that other people find difficult," she said. Some of the special programs which the VAC has accomodate the specific needs of different people. Among them are the Skillsbank and the Board Bank. The former is for potential volunteers who do not have much time to give. It gives them short-term volunteer jobs which use their particular skills. A few of the talents needed for Skillsbank are the ability to write brochures, design posters, program computers, and establish accounting' systems. According to Ms. Aranson, the Volunteer Action Center also trains volunteers, oversees a do- nated goods clearinghouse, and works with mental health profes- sionals, handicapped people, teens, and court-orderd volunteers.

by Lisa Schroeder Assistant Arts Editor to be

Last Thursday through Sunday, the Theatre and Dance Depart- ment presented The Little Prince, a play adapted from the book The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery. "The concept and de- sign" for this intriguing and unique production was "developed out of a course in Asian Dance/Drama taught by Judy Dworin." It was a brilliantly conceived piece of art- istry which delighted and mesmer- ized, and I might add one which could be enjoyed on all levels, from the simple to the complex, and by people of all ages. It was a truly wonderful production.

Elise Risher was remarkable as the Little Prince due to her ability to portray the innocence and the disillusionment of a child. Her per- formance greatly complimented that of Mark Wlodarkiewicz, who adeptly performed the parts of both a narrator and the aviator who befriends the Little Prince. Wlodarkiewicz's performance clearly portrayed the transforma- tion of the aviator from a "strange grownup" to an an enlightened young man. Other outstanding performances included that of Chris Weller as a clown who enter- tained the audience throughout the play, Dave Barone as the subject- Mark Wlodarkiewicz played a narrator/aviator in this past weekend's "The Little Prince.
