Bay Area Theatresports - Good Sports In the Theater Kevin DiPirro Special to the Foghorn For anyone who—despite their better instincts—tuned in to catch the latest Super Bowl fiasco and is now doubly depressed about the prospects of a bleak winter sports schedule, you may want to consider turning onto an entirely different kind of sport: theater sports. Consider last Monday's contest: an enraged 6'4" or so contestant charged the judges after a low score and had to be forcibly restrained by his teammates; players periodically ran through the front of the audience screaming: "We're all gonna die!"; and one player, untouched after encountering and punching out no fewer than all six other contestants, smashed his and his partner's nose while heatedly mashing with her. (Sounds better than a Quayle commercial already, doesn't it?) The name is Bay Area Theater Sports, the place is the Bayfront Theater every Monday night, and the game is improv. The way it works is this: two teams of 3 or 4 take the stage and alternate improv sketches that must follow rules set out at the start of each sketch. The three judges then give scores (technical, narrative, and humorous)to which the audience invariably boos because, after all, they are judges. The "events" that actors are called on to improvise within are numerous and can be quite intense. After attending two shows I saw sketches where Bay Area Theatresports Players (L-R) Brian Lohmann, Diane Barry, Rebecca Stockley actots: started from scratch; had to guess what their job or Lohmann,Barbara Scott, and Paul Killam) who up until last the move one after the other, in true Tommy/Chorus Line historical identity was; held cards in front of their foreheads week had dominated the competition (they lost by two to the fashion.

Tuesday (22nd) at San Jose States 2:00 ex SENATE VACANCY FOR SENIOR g < CLASS PRESIDENT-SPRING 1994 By Lisa M. Won o The former Senior Class President on the 1993-94 ASUSF Senate, Kevin Blokker, resigned from the position in December because he was finished with his courses and graduated from USF. He is now in Washington state working hard to earn a living and does not have to worry about the rigors of academic life. However, I am sure that one of the things that he missed most was working with the ASUSF Senate last semester. Now that he's away living a happy life in the real world, Senate is looking for a committed, fun, and enthusiastic Senior who is willing to take on the responsibilities of representing the Senior class on Senate. The position is definitely a fun and worthwhile one and will last from now until the beginning of May 1994. Some of the Spring semester events that past Senior Class Presidents have put on include: Senior Stumble, Senior Weekend, Senior pranks, and working with other class presidents and clubs/organizations in putting on other fun events. The other major responsibility would be to sit on a committee that would choose the Valedictorian for graduation. One must also note that in addition to these responsibilities to the Senior class, the candidate would also be involved with introducing and helping pass legislation on the Senate, meeting with the administration and staff about pertinent issues, and sitting on committees. This would give one the experience in working effectively independently and with others. If you are interested in this 3-month position, please complete an application in the ASUSF office (UC 402) and return it by Thursday, February 10, 1994. The Senate Interview Committee would then contact you about an interview the following week. And that's it! If you have questions, please contact Lisa Won, ASUSF Vice-President, at extension 2857, or in UC 402. See you in Senate! UJ An Ongoing Challenge By Eileen Rivera HI Last semester ASUSF Senate attended two workshops involving the issue of "Multiculturalism." These sessions led by consultant Francie Kendell, were the first steps taken to address the growing concern of race/ethnic relations on campus. Education was agreed upon as an important factor for leadership. During these intense five hour sessions, a lot of hidden and often uncomfortable feelings were revealed. We worked on addressing stereotypes (whether conscious or unconscious), prejudice, race relations, attitudes, personal experiences and group dynamics. We found that many of these problems can begin to be worked out by first respect for another individual, recognizing that what other people have to say is legitimate, asking "why?" before placing a judgment, having the ability to change our minds, and many other ground rules for each session. « As a group, we wanted to first "spell" out problems that deterred from our goals. And, as with all groups this meant expressing how each t/) person felt about their individual purpose and the collective group's purpose. In turn, this involved a little bit of soul-searching for every Senator. Senators wanted to gain from each session a better understanding of one's self, the ability to be open-minded, patient, and educated on other cultures - all this from an individual and personal standpoint. For the most part, we felt more comfortable with each other and that group progress occurred. However, the underlying goal remained a little unclear. How do we intend to apply what we've learned to the entire campus? As of now, we are still searching for the answers, but some of our efforts may be transposed by supporting an ethnic studies program, o sponsoring more programs of cultural awareness, etc. In addition, the ASUSF Constitution may play an integral part in our struggle with the issue of multiculturalism. We will keep you posted as more ideas and developments occur.
