October 31,1989 The Point News Page 5 Continuing an old crew tradition, members of the club carry Coach Jen Garvey to the docks. She emerged wet, cold and stung by jellyfish, garvey estimates the profits from the Ergathon will exceed $1000. Funds will be used to purchase racing shells for the club. Photo by Michael Berger Garvey: "I Can't Wait Until The Next One " Ergathon, Continued From Page 1 Lisa McClosky and Laura Freeman who rowed the 4 a.m. shifts over the weekfend. Another oarsman, Ross Machurek, got up early Saturday morning and rowed his 7 a.m. shift before taking his GREs at 8. Many participants felt the Ergathon was like one very long practice. Although no member rowed as hard as he or she could for the entire half hour, there was still much to be gained from the experience. Garvey stood by many of the oarsmen late into the night, urging them on and correcting their form. So for many it was a chance to practice their stroke. For others, it was a chance to show their endurance and their power. The Ergathon was not all work and sweat, though. It was meant to be a fun time as well as a fund-raiser. A number of members spent the whole night at the boathouse, where the Ergathon was held. Some people brought sleeping bags and pillows and curled up in front of the campfire. Others roasted marshmallows and made "s’mores" on the fire. Chris Buczynski got to watch the weekend’s firework display during her shift on the erg. There was much going on during the weekend. The waterfront festival, sponsored by the sailing club, was a great success with many people down by the water much of the time. All of this activity was welcomed by crew members. Passersby were very interested in the Ergathon. They could donate $1 to have the current rower o o a "power ten"-10 consecutive hard-as-possible pulls. "In the mid Jle of a half hour shift, ten good pulls is really tough," explained Jamie Werner. This event, along with the other money raised and the support of the SGA and the St. Mary's Foundation, has proved to be enough for the team to buy its first boat. Garvey did not plan to reach this goal until the spring but the hard work and dedication of the entire group with the support of the school and the S t. Mary's Foundation, has made it possible much sooner. So, after 48 hours of constant rowing, which equals over 500,000 meters of distance, the 1989 Ergathon ended. The oarsmen complained of pains in their shoulders and in their backs as well as blisters on their palms and feet. Happily for them, they had enough energy left over to continue an old crew tradition and throw their coach in the water. "It was definitely worth it," a very wet Garvey summed up. "I can't wait until the next one." "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You" was one of the most unsettling plays I have ever seen performed. As a non-religious person, I read the script and found it moderately entertaining. I took my chances and my mother, and went to the production on Parents Weekend. The first half-hour was the most entertaining. To hear Thomas recite his catechism (that I learned from a nun in Catholic school in third grade) was cute. As quickly as the play caught my attention, I was repulsed. Sister Mary's opinions were harmless at first, but they became extremely offensive. There is never a reason given in Catholic doctrine that it is all right to kill another person. I realize that this is the subject of the satire, but to watch it performed made me want to leave. So, I stayed for the panel discussion after the performance, hoping to be enlightened. However, there was a member of the • audience who dominated the discussion, so I got nothing from it It was a lecture, not a debate. Whenever I go to the theater, I have a vision of a good production. For me, a basis of 'comparison would be "Much Ado AboutNothing." The set was more interesting. During the production of Sister Mary, I could see the actors backstage. Also, I have seen much stronger acting at St. Mary's. I could feel the intensity :in th e characters in "Much Ado..." more than in Kelly Germain's Sister Mary. I would like to see the theater department stage a more elaborate show, one that would draw my attention to the set, the acting, and the story, and keep my hanging on the edge of my seat. "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You" closed Sunday afternoon after its successful two weekend run. After both Saturday night shows there was a discussion with a panel made up of both literary and religious scholars. The discussions were open to ticket holders from any of the shows. I enjoyed "Sister Mary" tremendously. I thought it was well staged, well acted, and well written. I loved Anne Janeski as the crazy nun. Even from the balcony I could see the insanity in her eyes. The way she manipulated the other characters-even the adults-was at the same time amusing and frightening. The whole play had the same eerie mix of hysterical funny and hysterical crazy. It became more and more unsettling as the play went on. Yet it is this kind of mix, so rarely seen in a college production, that makes people think. This was apparent by the pm b e r of people that stayed tor an hour; after the play was over to discuss the play and their feelings about it. < \ . The post-play panel was an added bonus to my enjoyment. The members of the p&nel were interesting and informative; the audience was intelligent and very opinionated. Some had prpblejns with their perception of an aijti- Catholic theme. Iti shows Jthe success of the play, however, (hat even these people sftayed to,talk about their feelings afterwards. I thank the theater department and the school for taking a chance with such a controvercial ^nd thought provoking : show. Anything that generates this much discussion on a college campus is always a positive thing, Attention - Hiring! The weekend of October 21-22,1989 marked the Great Militia Muster in Historical St. Mary’s City. Special eyents such as this one are designed both to entertain and to celebrate the heritage o f this historical site. Photo by Carolyn Ross.
