As the lights went down in Rud
der Auditorium, one decade was
ushered out as another one was re
lived.
Review
For the night, contemporary
women stars such as Madonna, Ste
vie Nicks and Whitney Houston gave
way to the likes of Tina Turner, Are
tha Franklin and Janis Joplin. For
the night, the MSC Opera and Per
forming Arts Society’s production of
“Beehive” took center stage.
“Beehive” centers around the girl
group sound of the 60s, consisting of
six performers who can act as well as
sing, thus creating some incredible
impersonations of stars such as Di
ana Ross, Turner and Joplin.
The cast, which included Lori Ful
ton, Debbie Lyons, Magda Nova,
Ann Peck, Letha Walker and Cookie
Watkins, put on two solid hours of
pure, get down rock and roll.
At the forefront of these perform
ers were Walker and Nova. Walker,
whose past performances include
roles in the film “Little Shop of Hor
rors” and the Broadway play “The
Wiz” served as the thread by which
the entire production tlowed along.
Nova, a leggy redhead with an in
credibly powerful voice, was mem
orable for her portrayals of Dusty
Springfield and Joplin.
The evening got off to a fast start
as the women opened with “The
Name Game.” Special kudos go to
Ricky and Carol from the audience,
who played their parts of the song
perfectly.
Other memorable songs include
“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,”
“Where Did Our Love Go,” “Proud
Mary” and “Piece Of My Heart.”
The production could be seen in
three different phases: Innocence,
confusion, rebellion. The early days
of the decade were brought back bv
pseudo-performances by the Chif
fons, Shirelles, Supremes, Connie
Stevens and Annette Funicello.
Then came Sonny Bono’s “The Beat
Goes On,” a moving performance by
Walker where the eyes could:!

‘Big brother’ program helps youth
By Todd Riemenschneider
Staff Writer
Expanding horizons is what the
Brazos County Juvenile Services De
partment calls its program to help
with children who have made some
bad judgments in their lives.
The program, which was started
last Feburary, matches a volunteer
with a probationer who is 10 to 17
years old. The person who is as
signed to the child is referred to as
their big brother/sister.
Kelvin Shepherd, a senior biology
major at Texas A&M, is involved in
the big brother program and has
been assigned a little brother since
November.
“I like working with kids and I
would like to make a contribution to
society,” Shepherd said.“With my
little brother, it it gives him an op
portunity to see there are other op
tions availible to blacks.”
A big brother must be over age 21
and be able to spend two to four
hours a week with their little brother
and stay in the program for a mini
mum of six months.
Joy Sneed, the coordinator for
volunteer programs, likes to have
students from all disiplines.
“The kind of kids we get are a
cross section of everybody,” Sneed
said.“It is not easy, it is much like be
ing a parent with these kids, there
are times you have to say no.”
Besides the big brother program,
there is also a detention visitation
program which gives support to ju
veniles in custody.
Jerry Cribble, a senior sociology
major, is a volunteer in the detention
program. He believes he gives the
juvenile a person to talk to who is not
an authority figure.
“When you get a volunteer in with
the kids, the volunteer is someone
they can talk to, but not be afraid
of,” Cribble said.
The main goal of the detention
program is to allow the kids to talk
and let the volunteer act as some
what of a counselor, he said.
“The best thing about it is the kids
see there is someone who cares and
at times, the kids do not understand
why someone is volunteering,” Crib
ble said, “but it sinks in and it makes
the kids feel as if they are worth
something.”
Cribble said the children often do
not have a very positive outlook on
what life has in store for them.
“A lot of these kids think prison is
where they are going to end up, but
by being around college kids they
see people who have carreer goals
and it helps them to realize there are
more chances in life,” Cribble said.
He is a believer in the strength of
the program.
“If there is any one method to
keep the kids from becoming delin
quents, it is the big brother pro
gram,” Cribble said. “It gives them
someone to look up to, a guidance, it
is very effective.”
The feeling of the volunteers is

Joy Sneed discusses the ‘Big Brother, Big Sister’ program with se
niors Kevin Shepherd and Jerry Cribble.
that if something is done for a per
son they cannot ignore it.
“Many of these kids have never
had anyone care, but by giving them
a big brother, there is someone who
cares.” Cribble said. “In my opinion,
having a big brother has a lot more
impact on the kids than having the
police throw on the handcuffs and
being taken to jail, it is a scary®
rience.”
Joy Sneed said the big bnS
program has been a tremenc
success and she hopes it will<
tinue to be so in the future.
“Out of the 12 people who*'
assigned big brothers, not on<
them has been a repeat oflerf
Sneed said.
