The curtain will fall one last time this weekend for the depart­ ment of film, television and the­ ater as it presents its final Mainstage production at Washington Hall, George Bernard Shaw’s “Arms and the Man.” The comedy, written in 1894, tells the story of the Petkoff family during the war between Bulgaria and Serbia. The Petkoffs are one of the most affluent families in Bulgaria, with the family’s patriarch, Major Petkoff holding one of the highest positions in the Bulgarian army. Major Petkoffs daugh­ ter, Raina, is also betrothed to another highly ranked officer, Sergius.

Monday as a necessary “first Co-sponsored by the Master of Science in Administration Program step” in the process after he decided to go with Marc Bulger as his quarterback for next sea­ son. He said he had promised Warner and his agent, Mark Bartelstein, that he would inform him when he had made a decision. “It was a very difficult conver­ sation, the hardest one I’ve ever had with a player,” Martz said. “He asked what his future was. I think from that point on it just kind of took on a life of its own.” Bartelstein said Tuesday his client expected to be released after June 1 and added he expected a lot of interest around the NFL in Warner. On Wednesday, Bartelstein stood behind those words. “I don’t think I overreacted at all,” Bartelstein said. “1 repre­ sent the highest-rated quarter­ back in the history of the NFL, and he wants to play football, and the world doesn’t wait for you. “My job is to try to find him a new home.” Martz blamed himself for not making it clear to Warner, the NFL MVP in 1999 and 2001, that he still could be back. He also said he expects Warner to con­ tinue participating in offseason workouts and minicamps. “I’m afraid in my discussions with Kurt that I got carried away and led him to believe this was it,” Martz said. It’s still likely that Warner will be released. But Martz reiterat­ ed that discussions on a long­ term contract with Bulger could impact what happens. Any Bulger talks also could impact whether the Rams select a quar­ terback in the first round of the draft on Saturday. Bulger has been a big success in one and one-half seasons as a starter with the Rams. He won his first six starts in 2002 and led the team to a 12-4 record MB# and an NFC West championship last year, then was the MVP in the Pro Bowl. T i s . Warner was the NFL MVP in 1999 and 2001, leading the team to the Super Bowl each year. But he had just three touchdown passes and 11 interceptions in an injury-plagued 2002 and lost his job after fumbling six times while sustaining a concussion in the opener last year. Martz declined to discuss his reasoning for going with Bulger. “There’s a lot of things involved with that, a lot of fac­ tors, and 1 think that’s something that’s better left unsaid,” Martz said. “Obviously, it took a great deal of time to come to that con­ clusion.” page 28 The Observer ♦ SPORTS Thursday, April 22, 2004
