RHA to sponsor comedy show By Wayne Price Staff Reporter If you find nothing funny about comedy, you can win $25 tonight at “We Can Make You Laugh,” a two-hour comedy show in the Ne braska Union Centennial Ballroom. The show will feature three comedians from Grand Rapids, Mich,, who will take tumstrying to make contestants laugh, according to Giles Schildt, president of Harper Residence Hall. “The first hour of the show will be a routine comedy show,” he said. “The second hour will be more game-show style.” Contestants will be drawn randomly from a hat by ticket-stub number, and the comedians — Pcrvis Powell, Rex Boyd and Franko Michaels — will do their best to make them laugh. Schildt said the number of contestants will depend on how much time is available. All the contestants will receive a “Make Me Laugh” T-shirt. The Residence Hall Association has created a non-alcoholic “night club” called After Hours, which will host future events. The rooms will be decorated in the style of a night club and non-alcoholic drinks will be served during the evening. The tables will be covered with paper and crayons will be provided for customers to show off artistic talent, Schildt said. Schiidt said the idea for a non-alcoholic night club was discussed at a conference of residence hall associations in Tempe, Ariz. Other universities have similar night clubs and several are permanent structures. “Ideally, we would like to have a permanent spot for the club, like KU, Bowling Green,” he said. “Make Me Laugh” is the second event for the night club. Producer: Ignorance helped HASTINGS (AP)—Emotional material and ignorance about their subject helped writers of the award-winning television documentary “The Civil War” bring that conflictalive for viewers, one of the produc ers said. “We simply brought the feelings and passions that we recognized in the story,” Ric Burns told an audience at Hastings College on Wednesday. “Film has an emo tional, almost physical connection with its audience. A moment made it into the film if it caused an emotional reaction.” Bums worked about five years with about 20 historians to help write last year’s 11 hour documentary with Geoffrey Ward. The series included excerpts from soldiers’ dia ries, photographs and stories related by his torians. “We were scandalously, woefully igno rant of our subject when we started,” said Bums, discussing the project as part of Hastings College’s artist lecture series. “We tried to present the information as fresh news because it was all fresh news to us,” Bums said. “We wanted to stay in the dark where we had started with our audience and watch it unfold.” The film captures a “tone of knowledge rushing in where our ignorance had been,” Bums said. An estimated 14 million people watched the scries, one of the largest audiences in Public Broadcasting Service history. “The Civil War” received a Peabody Award, Christopher Award, three Cine Golden Eagles and the People’s Choice Award for best mini-series of 1990. It was produced by Bums and his older brother Ken. $3.00 per day for 15 words on individual student and student organization ads. $4 00 per day for 15 words on non-student ads. $.15 each additional word. $.75 billing charge.
