'Wheel of Fortune Live' comes to the Palace- By Jen Petlinski Daily Film Editor Forget watching some stranger on television buy a vowel, solve the puzzle, go bankrupt and spin that wheel. No longer do you have to wonder why all these losers are winning money and free trips for two to Cancun and Hawaii, while you are sitting home alone with a bag of chips and remote in hand. This is not just any wheel ... it's THE Wheel. That's right, folks. The "Wheel of Fortune Live!" tour makes its way to The Palace Hills this of Aubu Sunday.

Unlike the televi- sion game show, the contestants for Sunday's show will not be chosen b e fo r e h a n d. Instead, audience members will be ntinuously selected the crowd through- uration of the show U U I in a "The Price Is Right" fashion (but that's a whole different story). Just imag- ine yourself ... ordinary, 'ol YOU ... being chosen to compete for the same prizes that the strangers on television were winning last week, while you sat on your couch! Who knew? Even audience members who don't get selected to participate onstage will receive game cards, giving them the opportunity to win prizes galore. Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? The event will conclude with a final round, where the contestants with the highest scores will compete for the grand prize - TAH DAH! - a trip for two to Hollywood, a chance to audition for the actual "Wheel of Fortune" tele- vision show and a private tour of Sony Pictures. In addition, "Wheel of Fortune" merchandise, VCRs, Walkmen, stereos and televisions are all fair game for all audience members. Free stuff, money and Bob Eubanks is there a better combination? Sorry. no Vanna ... but you can't have it all, now can you? PRODUCTIONS Continued from Page 13B "Pamela' said she also enjoys acting in University Productions shows because she always learns new things. "My favorite show was 'Three Sisters,"' she said. "It was just a beautiful production. It's the best when the payoff is the work and not just the performance." Opera Workshop Director Joshua Major said the high-caliber professors, directors and designers are important factors in the quality of the productions. This season is a prime example of just how professional the University's program is. In addition to bringing in guest directors for spring dramas "Dancing at Lughnasa" and "Wedding Band," the dance program has brought in Mary Cochran, a choreographer from the Paul Taylor Dance Company, to recreate a famous modern dance for a portion of the February performance of "Tanzmusik." "We're going to take full advantage of the University Orchestra this term," head choreographer Peter Sparling said. In addition, he said. the set will be an imposing, ominous-looking forest on the Power Center stage. "We're looking forward to a strong visual impact" It may not be long before the students on stage are the professionals, however. Fredricksen said Four Quest, a national theater production company, has expressed interest in picking up the University's version of "Sherlock Holmes" for production next fall. "The show may have a life after this," he said. "If it goes, a lot of students who don't have to come back to school could go on tour with them in September." Justin Burleson, a first-year student in the BFA design and production program, said that University Productions "gets you going for what you need to know" With all the professional-caliber per- formances, the students hope audiences appreciate their efforts. "On the stage you're building a real- ity out of a big empty space," Friedman summed up. "It's not just entertain- ment. It's deeper than that." PAMELA Continued from Page 138 as popular theater usually is. Goldoni was one of the writers who was able to bring the two streams together consistently." The story of "Pamela" centers around a maidservant who, after the death of the lady she serves, is caught in the classic dilemma of love versus duty. The son and heir to the family's fortune, Lord Bonfil, pursues Pamela doggedly despite societal restrictions that claim a servant and a noble cannot marry. Though Pamela has her own affections toward Lord Bonfil, she attempts to resist his advances to preserve her honor. This version of Goldoni's "Pamela," adapted by one of John Russell Brown's former students, Donald C. McManus, has come a long way in its 247 years of existence. Curiously enough, though, it has failed to appear before tonight in English. Brown cites subject matter as a reason for that. "In Scotland about 15 years ago," Brown said, "they were about to do it and then chickened out, writir play from the novel using bil But this is the first wherei percent Goldoni." In addition to sport- ing its own special translation, "Pamela" will be using anorigi- nal music score by composer / arranger Andrew Bishop. Bishop, influenced by his experience with the Ringling Brothers, Barnui Circus, hopes to incorpora val atmosphere into th enjoyment of the play.

MISTA Continued from Page 88 Eventually, though, I plan to go to college and get either an engineering degree, so I can master the equipment we use, or a business degree, so I can manage my money and make sure nobody's cheating me. That's important, 'cause if you get cheated then you won't have any money to go to college with, he said, laughing. "You'll be broke; bet- ter hope for a scholarship or something. "I look at it like this. If I'm doing what I want to do and I'm having fun and everyone's happy with what I'm doing, then I have received my greatest rewards. Money would be good, but that's really not the thing to me. Also when we per- form and girls get crazy we try not to let it get to our heads, 'cause that's how you lose your friends, your money and all those who truly care about you. We like girls, and we kick it to 'em. "But we try and handle business first, 'cause that's what's most important. Thinking you have everything is okay, but not if it's to the point where you think you don't need anybody else. Like my group members. They're my friends. We need each other because there are a lot of people out there who act like they're your friends where they're really not" When all is said and done, Brandon wants to be known and remembered, not as Brandon the singer or Brandon the performer, but as Brandon the good guy. "We're like everybody else. We just want to bring out a single and sell some records. Me, personally, I'm talkative, and when it's time to work, I work. I try to give a good impression to those who may look up to me. I listen to adults, and I try to do my job, which is to sing. "But I'm not into just blindly doing what everyone tells me too, 'cause I'm an independent person." tay tuned for seciale Weekend, etc. Magaz PA' i1 You could win $10,000 in the Second Annual "LifeStyles Condoms and Safer Sex" Video Contest!
