then just when you think they (the
other members) didn’t get it,
someone picks up the baton and
carries it on.”
Dan Grimm, a member of
Freudian Slip and junior theater
major, said the group has grown
closer through the many hours
the team has spent together, such
as a time they were in a car dri
ving back from performing at
Fish Camp.
“The other day, a group of us
were in the car together coming
back from Fish Camp, and Emily
randomly started speaking in a hill
billy accent,” Grimm said.
“Suddenly I became ‘Billy Bob,’ and
everyone started taking on parts
like ‘Ma’ and ‘Pa,’ and we went for
half an hour in the car improvising
as these white trash characters.”
Besides the need to have basic
intelligence and funny nature,
Grimm said acting ability is
important for the improv group,
He said the majority of the
Freudian Slip cast has acting expe
rience from high school or college.
“We do scene work," Grimm
said. “If two people on stage are
playing high school slackers, we
have to really, sell and convince
the audience. Acting does this.”
One area of difficulty many
members of Freudian Slip deal
with is trying not to be too funny.
Alexander said the actors must
resist the temptation to steal the
spotlight during performances.
“In a show, you are working
with others, not against them,”
he said. “You can’t pull the
spotlight. Sometimes you
could say something that is
rip-roar funny but even
though you might get laughs, a
lot of faith (with the other
members) would be lost.”
Trying to be funny is not as
funny as just being true to
real life circumstances,
Alexander said.
“(The scenes) are a lot more
smooth than people think,” he
said. “It’s not a whole lot of
chaos when you get started. It
makes it harder if you think
too intensely about it.”
Members of the Freudian
Slip cast said joking is definite
ly not the way to get a laugh.
"Anyone can do a joke,”
Grimm said. "We don’t do

Milburn said.
“It’s hard for me to believe that
only that number of students
need help in an academic year,”
she said. "I’d like for all students to
know that we’re here and we care.”
The mentors have targeted the
New Student Conferences to
increase awareness of their ser
vice and will have a table at MSC
Open House. The World Wide Web
page will soon have a complete
listing of Mentors and a resource
manual with places for troubled
students to find help.
“I think word is getting out that
we exist, but the service isn’t
being used nearly as much as
we’ve liked,” Milburn said.
Most mentors feel they are
accomplishing something impor
tant to students and themselves,
