last Thursday night on the sec-
ond floor of the Union - with
lots of songs, dances and some
jokes.
It was a rehearsal for Mus-
ket's pr'oduction, of Camelot,
which opens tonight at the
Mendelssohn Theatre and which
will run for .nine performances
there over the next ten days.

erick Loewe wrote after their

Productions, brainchild of
Mardy Medders, a graduate of
the music school andr an in-
structor in the Theatre Depart-
nment. In the past Medders has
produced dinner theatre at the
Campus Inn, but she was anx-
ious to share her acquired pro-
ducing expertise with Musket
which, she points out, is the
"sole recognized musical thea-
tre entity on campus." She and
Robert Bianco of Musket ex-

The best way to get the juices flowing is to get
plugged into the best tequila. Jose Cuervo White.
Because Jose Cuervo is the premiumn white tequila.
And it has been since the-first day it was made in 1795.
Then the rest is simple. just get plugged into the
best juices. Take orange juice, for example. Or grape-
fruit, or pineapple. Or whatever.
