For 2 1 /z hours Thursday night,
nearly 2,500 persons laughed, cried
and pondered at “Chapter Two”
together — and they left emotionally
drained, but satisfied.
Dawn Wells and David Faulkner,
starring in Neil Simon s hit play, ran
their Rudder Auditorium audience
through a variety of emotions, and
drew them stunned but happily to
their feet afterwards.
“Chapter Two” is Neil Simon’s
semi-autobiographical story of a
man’s struggle to overcome the grief
caused by the death of his first wife,
and the sudden joy of finding new
love.
The joy, however, is hard-earned,
as the memory of his first wife con
tinues to haunt him, severely damag
ing the second relationship.
Wells and Faulkner brilliantly
portrayed the roles of Jennie and
George, created by Simon to repre
sent himself and his present wife,
Marsha Mason.
The play begins with George fairly
morose, and obviously moody over
the loss of his first wife, Barbara. His
brother, Leo (Donald Gantry), tries
hard to comfort him, introducing
him to different girls, trying to find
the right one to draw George out of
his hole, but to no avail. That is, until

Leo meets Jennie at a New York dis

with George, and the action begins.

lieves to be an elderly librarian’s,
finds instead he is speaking to Jen-
AddVl skeet shooters
are Olympic hope fuls
By ANGELIQUE COPELAND

For a team that is sending two
If members to compete for a berth on
H the U.S. Olympic team, the Texas
B A&M University Skeet and Trap
■ Club has remained in relative
B obscurity.
Ed Simmons, a junior from Hous-
K ton, and Jeff Sizemore, a freshman
f business major, will be in San Anto-
R nio in May competing with the best
H shooters in the nation as they make
H their bid for the 1980 Olympic team.
|! Simmons is a two-time national col
li legiate champion and Sizemore
; traveled with the U. S. team last year
■ competing in world competition in
3 Italy and in the Pan American
Games. The United States took the
; gold in the Pan Am games with Size
more tying for eleventh place indi-
j£ vidually.
Both men are members of the
A&M Skeet and Trap Club, an extra
mural sports club.
Skeet comes from a Swedish word
( meaning “shoot,” and involves 25
|targets released from two throwers.
One thrower is placed about 10 feet
from the ground in a “high” house
land the other is located in a “low”
house about 3Yz feet from the
r ground.
There are eight “stations”
arranged in a semi-circle between
the two houses from which shooters
{try for targets released at known
angles. At four of the stations, birds
• are released from both houses at the
same time, at about 60 mph.
I Trap is a longer range game with
less predictable target flights. There
f is one ground-level thrower and five
I shots are fired fron five stations. Dis
tance from the trap house is gauged
according to handicaps given to
■shooters, with the most proficient,
;27 yards from the house.
The team will travel to the inter
collegiate championships April 23-27
in Peoria, Ill., and Club President
George Strickhausen estimated that
it will cost around $6,000 to send a
team to the meet.
In addition to the expense, the
Aggie shooters have trouble finding a
place to practice.
“We presently have to practice at
the Bryan-College Station Skeet
Club which is over 15 miles from the
University,” Strickhausen said.
“Not only are we limited in time
and place to practice but the Bryan
range is only geared up for the Amer
ican versions trap and skeet and yet
we have to compete with other
schools in the international style trap
and skeet,” Skrickhaisen said.
There may be relief in sight for the
clay hunters, if the Texas A&M
Health and Physical Education De
partment is successful in finding
funds for a trap and skeet facility it
has developed plans for.
The range is on private property
north of Bryan and is closed 10
months out of the year.
A site has been picked for a
$75,000 four-field trap and skeet
complex that would have both Amer
ican and International capabilities
and would be utilized by the physical
education classes, the club, intramu
ral teams, faculty members and for
mer students.
The Texas A&M team placed
second in American skeet competi
tion in 1975 and 1976 and second in
International skeet in 1976. The
team went on to become the nation
al collegiate champions in 1978 with
team member Simmons winning
the individual championship. The
team finished second the following
year in international with Simmons
again winning the overall competi
tion. If Simmons wins the champ
ionship again this year he will be
come the first person to win the title
three consecutive years.

nie, a beautiful, divorced female.
Through the course of their conver
sation, they find they are both in
terested in one another, and agree to
meet to satisfy the demands of their
matchmaking friends.
Their meeting naturally leads to
romance — with an additional load of
soul-searching — and eventually,
marriage.
The play climaxes when George
and Jennie violently confront one
another following their honeymoon,
as Jennie tries to find the reason for
George’s sudden coldness and anger
towards her. George’s constant com
parisons of Jennie with his ex-wife
draws hurt feelings and misunder
standings, resulting in a superbly
probing exchange between the two.
Wells’ brilliant acting here pre
sented the focal point of the entire
play. Her cries of misunderstanding
and injustice left the audience gasp
ing for breath as she screamed and
raved and literally picked apart
George’s persecution.
Following the play, Wells said she
felt the audience was appreciative.
“They were great, I loVed it,” she
said.
Wells, known primarily for her
role as Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Is
land,” said she is currently produc
ing and directing a documentary on
wildlife.
