optimistic that the Royals can take the

Four Teams Capable of Winning

On the men's court Steve Beauchamp, coach of

year's games as "the best playoffs in a long
time," and added, "all four teams are capable
of winning."

and North Vancouver's Capilano College
Blues, nationally ranked third and fourth
respectively. Douglas College is the only
team to have defeated Capilano. "Capilano
is to be favoured and our major competition,
but I'm confident that the Royals will play
well," said Beauchamp.

breakfast on the 9th for all teams attending
the games. Also, that evening there will be

Students “Talking Dirty
A quick look around the Douglas College
theatre proves to be an impressive sight.

The stage is more than just big, if is the
largest and best equipped in New Westminster}.

Overhead are strapped the acoustic tiling
which give the 350 seat theatre one of the
clearest sound capabilities in the lower
mainland. Backstage two catwalks provide
access for students stringing up lights and
speakers on the three electric lines set at
the full ceiling height.

Drew Young, technical director for the
Douglas College theatre department, beams
when the subject of his students! next
production is mentioned.

What could it be that has Drew Young so
excited? Nothing less than the most popular
play in Canadian history, the Arts Club
Theatre production of "Talking Dirty".

On the morning of March 12, trucks will
arrive from "Talking Dirty's" previous
showing in Saskatoon. In the ten hours
before the first show starts, the Douglas
College students will have to put the whole
stage together from scratch.

"For our students, this will be the first
time they've known more about the space
than the people using the theatre," Young
says. "And before the curtain opens, there
will be a lot of work for them to do."

"Of course, the lights can be set up a day
in advance," Young says. "We have the
equipment to handle that work, and the
option of putting the production onto the
manual control board or the computerized
memory bank."

and a small group from the Arts Club. The
light and sound system will also use a
combination of students and professionals,
Young says.

"We can probably get the whole stage set up
in six hours, plus another four hours for
