Eddy era of the 30s,” Bowdon
said.
Audience participation is one
of the main purposes of the the
ater.
“We want to get as much au
dience participation as we can,”
he said.
The audience will be encour
aged to throw popcorn at the
vulian, and a member of the au
dience will play the role of
“Duke X. Mackinaw,” the char
acter who shows up in the last
act to resolve the play.
“The Mackinaw character is
based on the Shakespearian
practice of developing a charac
ter late in the play to help re
solve the conflicts created in the
pJay.”
Mackinaw is also based on the
old “Carol Burnett Show,”
when audience members acted
in scenes with the cast members,
Bowdon said.
The actors will even carry on
conversations in the audience.
“This means there will be a
lot of ad-libbing,” he said. “So
every performance will be dif
ferent.”
Although the theater does
not have a non-profit status,
any proceeds beyond produc
tion costs will be re-invested in
future productions.
“We want to add to the cultu
ral environment of the area,
provide an alternative to the
traditional entertainment
forms, and keep money in the
Bryan-College Station area,” he
said.
Bowdon said people usually
go into Houston or Dallas to go
to a dinner theater.
“But they couldn’t get there
what we are offering here,” he
said.
The theater is in the second
floor penthouse of the Aggie
land Inn. Perfromances will be
on Thursdays, Fridays, Satur
days and Sundays March 29
thru May 4, at 8 p.m., with the
buffet s tailing at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday nights vyill be econ
omy nights and the Aggieland
Inn will provide hors
d’oeuvre’s. Friday night is the
Aggieland’s regular seafood
buffet and Saturday will be the
more traditional buffet of meat
and potatoes. Sunday there will
be a 2 p.m. brunch and a buffet
dinner.
United Press International
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
— Two IRA gunmen killed a
Maze prison official Tuesday,
firing repeatedly through the
rear window of his car as the
man’s wife and child watched
after kissing him goodbye on
his way to work.
Police said William McCon
nell, 35, as assistant governor at
the prison, was shot in the head
and face by the assassins from
the outlawed Irish Republican
Army. He slumped to the
ground in a pool of blood and
died nearly instantly.
McConnell had just kissed his
wife, Beryl, and 3-year-old
daughter, Gail, goodbye when
the two gunmen ran up behind
his car and fired repeatedly
through the rear window.
As the gunmen escaped, the
dying man’s child was left
screaming hysterically on the
pavement as his wife cradled
her husband in her lap, a neigh
bor said.
The IRA said McConnell, the
23rd prison officer to be killed
in Northern Ireland, was exe
cuted because his job was break
ing Republican opposition to
menial work tasks at the high-
security Maze prison outside
Belfast.
“This was a particularly bru
tal crime,” said an angry police
spokesman. “The gunmen
showed no compassion for their
victim or his family.”
The guerrilla group, which
seeks to oust British troops
from Northern Ireland, said in
a statement the assassination
did not herald a new campaign
against prison officers.

OFF CAMPUS CORNER
GETTING A
HEAD START
The time for selecting roommates and finding a place to
live is quickly approaching. These decisions should be made
before the end of the spring semester since many students
will go home for the summer. The Off Campus Center (OCC)
can help you get started by providing a roommate referral
service and information on area housing possibilities. On
March 19 we will begin taking roommate cards for the sum
mer and fall. Whether you have housing and need room
mates or need both housing and roommates, the roommate
referral service is available to you. Maps and current prices of
major apartment complexes are also available.
Early selection of housing provides you with a wide range
of choices. Also, The abundance of housing available allows
you the opportunity to look at a variety of apartments. The
Clip and
most important fact to remember is to FINALIZE ARRANGE
MENTS WITH ROOMMATES BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE.
This past year many students signed leases first and were
then unable to find roommates.
Fall apartment prices will be available by mid-April. The
OCC staff will be glad to assist you in your search for off
campus housing. The OCC is located in Puryear Hall, di
rectly across from the YMCA building. Please feel free to
stop by or give us a call at 845-1741. An early search can
prevent problems later.
