Sarah Taylor is fantastic as Sheila, Norman's love interest from the community center. Taylor gives Sheila a wide-eyed innocence that makes her scenes with Petrides a joy to watch. One of the most impressive performances of the evening was Joshua Abraham as ~arry. F om his fidgety mannerisms to his deadpan line deliveries to his disheartening fear of his father, Joshua is compelling to watch. His scene with his father (played by a charismatic Jim Hall) is perhaps the most engag ing, yet most disturbing of the entire play. Abraham and Hall create a moment so tense the audience is almost afraid to breathe. A cast of spirited supporting actors rounds out this talented ensemble. Amanda Moss makes for a delightfully funny, hard-of hearing neighbor, Mrs. Fremus. Ben Dziuba creates his three J characters, Mr. Hedges, Mr. Corbin and Senator Clarke as distinctly separate and believ able people. Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons and Ramona Garcea are very entertaining as Mrs. Warren and Clara. •I Theatre UCF's production of The Boys Next Door is bitter sweet, yet uplifting. As Arnold would say: "You definitely, I repeat, definite] y need to see this play." The play runs through April 20. For ticket information, call 823-1500.

"SG continued its role in helping students get more out of UCF tfe [by its club funding]," Scavron said. Out of all the achievements made by Scavron, Provide-a-Ride is \YAY/~[Q)~~[Q)~n the one he is most proud of.

"Chris Marlin, the 1993-94 Student Body President, said it best when he summed up this job, 'You have to be prepared to work 60 hours a week and give everything for people that don't care what you're doing for them,' " said Scavron.
It doesn't bother Scavron that in his election only 2,800 students 1 voted because UCF stayed with the national voting average, which ts 10 percent, he said. Scavron believes that as long as things are running smoothly, students don't see the need to involve themselves ' - it's just when there is controversy that students become more active. This is a reality he has come to accept. Although he agrees more students should make an effort to be informed about their • school, he would rather know SG is doing its best to maintain the high level of order. The positive aspect of the job far outweighs the negative in Scavron's opinion. "The job has been extremely educational. You couldn't buy this kind of experience.

"All I can say without sounding too [politically correct] is that is TOBUSYTO has been the best and worst experience of my life," said Scavron, who is awaiting replies from Georgetown, UCLA, Yeshiva University and FSU law schools.

We have the best record and we won big." • With these words and an air of satisfaction, tennis coach Gail Falkenberg described the men and women who traveled to Georgia this weekend to compete in the TAAC tournament. • Amid quick hellos and warm congratulations from friends and col leagues, Falkenberg calls out the results that propelled the team into the conference and into UCF's record book. No. 3 Hadas Rosnen .. crushed the school record for straight wins (27) and singles-season wins (28-1). In doubles, Rosnen/Soto-Rosa posted another record at 21-5. • As a team, the women completed the season 22-1, which ties the 1994-95 results for most wins. It also earned .a No. 46 national rank ing and, for the first time in UCF history, brought home a confer • ence title . The women could not have done it better.
