Drama Dept. presents 'A Tomb with a View by ROB HOOK

Staff Writer Preparations and rehearsals

for the Boone Campus drama department's presentation of "A Tomb with a View" are nearing completion!

The comedy-t,hriller will be performed Friday and Satur-day, March 3-4, at 8 p.m. in the Boone Campus auditorium.

Tickets are $2 for Boone Campus students and $3 for the public. They may be purchased this week outside The Campus Center, or at the door.

The play consists of a cast of 10 strange characters, all gathered in the library of Monu- ment House to hear a will read- ing.

The strangeness begins in Act I, as Hamilton Penworthy, the family solicitor (portrayed by Tom Hope) is seen helping himself to a drink and talking to a man who thinks he's a werewolf chained to a cell in the basement.

Lucien Tomb (Ted Hawkins) is the eldest survivor of the family, and is found r-nting and raving through the first act until he loses his head (literally) in the last scene of the second act.

Emily Tomb (Sherri Klem-mer) also adds to the odd humor of the play by appearing as a rough and intimidating woman in men's clothes, and delivers a lot of sarcasm up until the time of her death in the final act.

Dora Tomb (Tracey Herrick) is a policeparanoid family member who is noted for her poisonous wines, which killed the electricians and the local Avon lady, and whom she promptly buried in her flower garden.

Agat!.a Hammond (Bernice Kitt) .nakes her appearance as the family housekeeper of 40 years. She is convinced the d e ceased head of the household is still alive and walking the halls a t night.

Peregrine Potter (Rob Hook) is one of the last survivors, and orie of the more "nomal" char-acters. Despite Perry's inno-cent appeerance, he has an em- barrassing secret of his own, and finds himself trapped with a bunch of lunatics he wishes he hadn't met.

Monica Tomb (Jodi Mentzer) is the family nymphomaniac who just can't get enough of

Perry. In between sarcastic slams with her sister, she tries every seductive move to win Perry over until she finally suc- ceeds.

Freda Mountjoy (Kaylynne Hoppe) has a short encounter with the Tomb family, as her own plot backfires, and she winds up dead at the end of the first act.

Marcus Tomb (Tarak Abbasi) is yet another deranged family member who's convinced he is Caesar. Marcus meets his end midway through the play when his nightmare comes true.

And finally, there's Anne Franklin (Mary Rhodd), the family nurse. A rather attrac- tive, middleaged woman who is very concerned for the family, especially Marcus, is also one of the last survivors. Anne has many, many secrets, several of which lead to the rather shock- ing conclusion of the perform- ance.

But who is it committing the murders? Could it be an unsus- pecting family member, or may- be a servant? Perhaps an out- sider? The secret is not revealed until the climactic end, and the only way to find out who and why is to attend the perform-

Intramural news by ROB HOOK

Staff Writer Intramural basketball and Spring Fling '89 are among the events

being planned this spring by Sabra Borich, intramurals coordinator. "We hope to have a good student turnout for both of these events,"

she commented.

Basketball

Those persons interested in forming an intramural basketball team are encouraged to do so by signing up on the poster by the lounge. Play will begin March 5.

Students with ideas for tournaments are welcome to discuss them with Borich.

Spring Fling

Spring Fling '89 will kick off a full day of events Thursday, April 20, and will include sand pit volleyball and free throw sIfboting.

Other events scheduled are tug-of-war, one-pitch softball, Frisbee golf, coed tennis and miniature golf.

This year's theme will be determined from contest entries. Entries may be turned in immediately by placing them in either George Silberhorn's or Borich's mailboxes in the office.

Entries should be submitted on an 8%x11" sheet of paper and should be springlrecreation related. Deadline for all entries is March 31.

Feb. 27,1989-Formal dance

~ lanned by ROB HOOK

Staff Writer Plans are under way for a for-

mal dance to be held Friday, March 31, at 8 p.m. at the Elks Club in Boone.

The suggested theme for this dance is "Gone with the Wind," an idea proposed by several DMACC students.

It is apparently felt Bdone Campus should sponsor such a dance in which students are al- lowed to wear evening dresses and tuxedos.

A live band will be hired for the entertainment. This event is being sponsored by PBL and NSU, who are asking help from other Boone Campus clubs.

Watch for further details in the next issues of The Bear Facts.

GARS now available

by ROB HOOK Staff Writer

A Graduation Analysis R e port System (GARS) is now available for all full-time Boone Campus students interested in computerized academic advise ment and graduation informa- tion, according to George Sil- berhorn, counselor.

The report includes many things, beginning with the cur- ricula for each catalog year since 1985-86, program require ments met and unmet, all class- es completed, credit accepted for transfer students, number of semester hours completed for a particular program, program GPA and cumulative GPA, and finally, course substitutions.

This system also allows stu- dents to "shop" for a program and shows immediately the con- sequences of a program change. GARS has been very beneficial in providing students and aca- demic advisors with an imme diate assessment of student progress towards graduation, Silberhorn commented.

These reports are automati- cally mailed to all full-time stu- dents at the end of each term, and some are still being mailed.

If a student does not receive a report and would like to obtain one, a report request form can be filled out in the office.

CAMPUS LIFE Audience raves about

"Oedipus Rex" Approximately 160 theater-

goers attended The National Shakespeare Company's pro-duction of "Oedipus Rex" Thursday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. in the Boone Campus auditorium.

Overall, the general feeling of that audience was of enjoy-ment, amazement, and com-plete concentration on what was happening on stage.

"Oedipus Rex" is the story of a man who unknowingly mur-ders his father and marries his mother. The timeless tragedy has survived as one of the most powerful Greek dramas. It was written by Sophocles in approx-imately 430 B.C.

Kay Mueller, speech and dra-ma teacher, said the perform-ance was first rate.

"The actors had the complete attention of the audience. It was an excellent production," she added.

Dean Kriss Philips comment-ed, "It was a great evening oi theater at Boone Campus. I was glad to see the good support shown by the faculty and the community."

Following the production, a reception was held in The Cam-pus Center, organized by Jinny Silberhorn, speech teacher and Learning Center. Many of the guests had favorable comments about the production, while en-joying refreshments donated by faculty members.

Several faculty members had the opportunity to meet the 12 New York actors prior to the performance at a dinner held a t Mueller's residence. The actors seemed to enjoy the home cooked meal prepared by Muel-ler and other communications department faculty members.

Oedipus encounters much pain and turmoil as he searches for his identity in this scene from "Oedipus Rex" as performed by The Na-tional Shakespeare Company Feb. 16 in the auditorium. See story for details. -Photo by Tom Brazil provided to The Bear Facts

Boone Campus pursuing the possibility of day care

by TRACEY HERRICK Co-Editor

The results from a survey conducted last December have shown there would definitely be interest in starting an on-campus day-care center here at Boone Campus.

The 46 responses were turned in from both students and faculty. These responses indicated a strong interest in a day-careprogram.

Interest has been shown to place 42 children, ranging in age from newborn to six years, in the day-care center.

As a result of the interest shown, Dean Kriss Philips is cuirently pursuing grants for funding of the center.

"I feel that the need is here; that's certainly been shown. I feel a day-care center would be a real plus for our campus. The nekt hurdle is to locate some funds to enable us to get started. We are a long way from opening a center here, but we are certainly pursuing the matter."

Telenet unit available

by TRACEY HERRICK Co-Editor

A telenet unit has been pur-chased for DMACC - Boone Campus, which will allow groups around the state to con-duct teleconferences, according to Jayne Smith, librarian.

This unit will be of great im-portance to those who attend a large number of meetings to conduct business. This system allows one to 15 people on cam-pus to talk with other groups around the state without wast-ing travel time.

The telenet system is already working and requests have been turned in from various staff members.

Engineers are currently look-ing into a slight problem with speaking in the new system, but it's hoped to be resolved in a test-run soon.

Smith commented, "I'm so glad we (Boone Campus) now have the opportunity to benefit from a system like this."

Interested parties need to contact Smith for a time to r e serve the system.

Part timers required to take assessment exams by ANGIE BRELSFORD

Co-Editor According to the terms of the

DMACC development studies plan, assessment in the basic skill areas of reading, math and writing is required of all full-time students.

However, a new addition has been made in the studies plan, according to Sunny Powers, chair of the Boone Campus communications department.

Part-time students, as well as full-time students, will now be required to demonstrate skills by taking the assessment test, beginning this fall. Students will be required to pass the test for writing skills before they can register for a writing course, for math skills before they can register for a math course, and in reading before they can register for their third college credit course. The as-sessment requirement may be waived on the basis of docu-mented successful previous col-lege experience.

Powers said, "An assessment test simply tells us if you're ready."

She goes on to stress that this plan is to make the students

successful in passing the course.

A protected class a t Boone Campus is Composition I, which will start next fall.

This idea of testing came from DMACC teachers. They had direct contact with stu-dents and became aware that some were struggling.

The plan is designed to pro-tect both the student and the quality of instruction.

The development studies committee was set up to help the problem.

"The committee looked a t success rates of students who had enrolled in these courses. They found a high rate of drop-outs or low grades," said Pow-ers.

Speakers are Shirley Dan-skin-White, deputy secretary of agriculture for Iowa, and Harry Hillaker, state climatologist for Iowa.

The peer tutoring program was one of these solutions. This program has been practiced for approximately six years. Tutor-ing has benefitted .some, but

with others there was no change. Dropouts and low grades are still a problem.

A few years ago, recent infor-mation from the committee was brought to attention and result-ed in protecting classes.

A committee, similar to Boone's development studies plan, recently completed a two-year study of Colorado com-munity colleges. I t showed the effectiveness of basic skills as-sessment and advising for stu-dents a t their schools.

Here are their findings:* More than 80% of the new

students who follow assess-ment related advice succeed academically and are more like ly to persist at least one addi-tional term than those who do not follow such advice.

* Students who follow advice for English courses are almost four times as likely to succeed than those who disregard such advice.

Overall, women are more likely to follow advice, to achieve higher GPAs, and to persist longer than men.

* Women with more than one dependent, who work outside

Teacher Feature by LORI BURKHEAD

Staff Writer Mike King is the subject of

this month's Teacher Feature. King is a part-time instructor

a t DMACC - Boone Campus. He teaches Composition I. He also is employed at the Upper Iowa University Campus in Des Moines on a part-time basis. His courses there include composition and literature.

Mike is a writer as well as a teacher. He has been writing for 12 years. He has written two fiction stories which were pub-lished three years ago in Literary Magazine.

"Getting your work publish-ed is a very long drawn-out process. I t takes an enormous amount of time, patience and ef-fort to succeed as a writer. Hav-ing a career as a writer is a very difficult task," King said.

"If I had my druthers, I would be teaching less and writ-ing more," Mike said. .

He stressed the fact he does enjoy teaching and receives many rewards from it.

King's hobbies include gar-dening, biking and woodwork-ing.

King received a bachelor's de-gree in English at the TJniver-sity of Wisconsin, and a master's degree in English and creative writing a t Iowa State University.

Mike lives in Ames with his wife. MIKE KING

Results are in on survey of artslsciences grads
