'Shrew' to compete in ACTF regionals
CSUF's production of "The Taming of
the Shrew" will compete in the Northern
regionals of the American College Thea¬
tre Festival, 8 p.m. Jan. 28 at CSU-
Sacramemo.
One of five shows selected from the 65
competing in the ACTFs Northern region,
"Shrew" was presented on campus in
December and received mixed reviews.
"It (CSUFs production of .'Shrew-)
grinds the purists down to Ihe bitter nerve
ends." associate director Ed EmanuEl
said about the edited and updated version
of William Shakespeare's farce.
EmanuEl is somewhat optimistic about
production's  chances  of winning  the    ..„„„
Northern region and being among the 13    0iher regions,
Another re
said that they ar
things to boost th '
ing it to Washington. Included is a p
age of slides, photographs, and a vi.
tape of the production which wil
available for the judges and the repre
tatives from Kennedy Center.
But EmanuEl and Simonian know!
there's only a "lightning chance" t
"Shrew" will make it to Washington.
ACTF has 13 regions, but selects <
five to six shows to go to finals. "We ct
not go to Washington."
EmanuEl says the odds have reduced
from one-in-a-thousand to one-in-6S.
"The odds arc still against us, and we don't

'They (the sponsors) are
dying to get a Shakespeare
play (in Washington, D.C.)'
—Simonian
He's quick to point out that none of
Shakespeare's works has ever been pres¬
ented in the Washington finals.
Darryl Simonian. the student associate
director, echoes EmanuEl.
"They (the sponsors. Amoco and Wash-
ington's Kennedy Center for the Perform¬
ing Arts) are dying to get a Shakespere
play. They've never found one worthy,"
Simonian said.
Simonian said that he feels "Shrew" is
worthy because it "goes out on a limb. It
has been edited, updated."
EmanuEl is extremly pleased with
"Shrew's" Saturday night slot.
"It (Saturday night) is reserved for the
show the region is going to push," Ema¬
nuEl said. "It's really a gift from Sac State.
They couldVe chose to promote their own    perioi
EmanuEl said that ACTF sponsors
pick up the tab for the trek to Washftigton
and that shows from the West Coast have
been excluded because they are too
expensive to take to Washington.
In Sacramento, Simonian will be in
charge. EmanuEl will be in England
leaching CSUF students involved in the
London semester program.
Simonian says he doesn't fear staging
the show in Sacramento without Eman¬
uEl.
"IVe been so active in it CShrewl all the
. way through." Simonian.said.."tf I had
been a passive co-director, it would be a
different story. "
Simonian, who has worked with pro¬
fessional directors from ACT and PCPA,
said, "some cast members don't take
direction from me as well as others be¬
cause I'm a fellow student."
But he said that he has the experience
and  they know he can do it since he
offered so many suggestions to EmanuEl
crs during the rehearsal
show (Gilbert
kado")."
EmanuEl knows what it takes t
Washington. His play, which h

AS meets: Recall still in the air
Staff Writer
At the first Associated Students Senate
meeting this semester. President Andrea
Hedgley said the recall campaign against
her detracted from last semester's
productive senate.
"Spawned by narrow-mindedness and
pettiness, this immature tactic (the recall)
i hreatened to extirpate a newand positive
direction plantedin earlier weeks, "Hedgley
said at the meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The recall's stench still hasnt left the
atmosphere," although as a whole, she
said, the senate was good.
Hedgley's former administrative assis¬
tant Run Gaul said the bad publicity
generated by the recall attempt needs to be
addressed by the senate.
"1 think it's up to you (the senate) to
somehow put to rest this destructive recall,"
Gaul said students and members ofthe
community are asking what has happened
to the recall, and bes not been able to give
them a satisfactory answer.
"I suppose 1 could tell them the recall
people are humiliated and embarrassingly
silent, and they have all their petitions and
they dont want to turn them in. But that
doesnt make anybody feel any better."
On a more positive note, Hedgley praised
Gov. George Deukmejian's proposed
budget, which will provide funds to begin
the business building project, provide
library materials and expand library hours,
increase faculty salaries 10 percent, and
decrease students' fees $42.
She said she looks at the historic fee
decrease as a trend, and she said. "I hope
Gov. Deukmejian sees better next y:ar."
Hedgley said problems with lnstruction-
ally Related Activities funds are not
exclusive to CS'UF. but are found
throughout the CSU system.
She learned from a memorandum from
ihe Chancellor's office that each campus
determines what activities on their campus
will be eligible for IRA funds.
Feb. I at 10 a.m.. an IRA advisory
board meeting will be held to begin
establishing new funding procedures that

The senate also approved a letter to the
Fresno City Council, concerning the wall
that blocks trafficthrough Barton Avenue
to the CSUF campus.
In the letter, written by AS Sen. Tom
Watson, the senate proposed that a
standard width bikeway be given access
on Barton Avenue through the existing
wall between Sierra Madre and Fairmont
The senate asked in the letter for a reply
as soon as possible on the action the
council will take.
According to Administrative Vice
President Chris Snow, the Vietnamese
Student Association returned $850 in AS
funds they receved to hire a lecturer.
In a letter to Snow, they contended the
lecturer was Communist, and since the
current officers of the association do not
agree with his political viewpoints,
they cancelled his appearance adding
$850 to AS unallocated funds.
The senate awarded $830 from
unallocated fnnds to the CSUF Badmjton
Cub. The unanimous Vote provides to the
club $750 for supplies, $30 for membership
dues and $50 for medical insurance.
