Univ. student to direct
“INHERIT THE WIND”
When: Friday and Saturday at
7:30 p.m.
Where: Cedar Shoals High School
Admission: University students $3; non-students $5
evolution play
By CAROLINE ERVIN

A University student
has brought the Scopes
“Monkey Trial” to Cedar
Shoals High School.
Claire Ansley, a sopho
more from Athens who grad
uated from Cedar Shoals, is
directing “Inherit the Wind,”
a play based on the famed
1925 trial.
John Scopes was a
Tennessee biology teacher
who was charged with ille
gally teaching the theory of
evolution.
“It’s a bold move for
Clarke County” to allow the
production to move forward,
Ansley said, referring to the
year-long controversy in
Georgia concerning the
teaching of evolution in
public schools.
Ansley’s former drama
teacher Rosemary Milfap
selected the play with the
support of her class, which
has held several discussions
on the subject.
“It’s been amazing,”
Ansley said, “that a lot of
high schoolers have such a
deep understanding of the
topic of the play and its rele
vance in today’s society.”
Milfap chose “Inherit the
Wind” because she recog
nized the importance of the
subject, Ansley said.
Although the play
includes fictional characters
and is not set in a specific
time, it deals with the same
issues as the Scopes trial.
“The play never says you
have to believe in evolution,”
Ansley said. “You should just
consider each side before
you judge it.”
This is Ansley’s second
time directing a play at the
high school. Asked to return
by Milfap, Ansley said she
has been welcomed to direct
a production every spring, a
tradition she witnessed in
high school when Cedar
Shoals alumni came back to
direct.
When asked about
possible community reac
tions to a play dealing with
evolution, Ansley didn’t
think the Cedar Shoals
administration even knew
that this particular play had
been chosen.
“Cedar Shoals High
School has never really
taken a lot of pride in their
drama department,” she
said.
Although she is not a
drama major, Ansley said
she participates in commu
nity theater and hopes to do
more directing work.
A fan of the Town and
Gown Players, she said
she loves the people and
the atmosphere of the small
theater.
“Inherit the Wind”
opened Thursday night and
runs through Saturday
night.

Grady college professor reports his car stolen
A Grady College of
Journalism and Mass
Communication professor’s
car was reported stolen
Thursday afternoon, and the
professor said he suspects it
was someone who knows his
habits.
Conrad Fink reported his
1996 white Honda station-
wagon stolen to University
Police at 2 p.m., University
Police Capt. Lisa Boone said.
“They took the keys out of
my office, then stole the car
out of the Journalism-
Psychology lot,” said Fink,
who was reached by phone
Thursday evening.
Fink said he was sure that
this was not a random theft.
“Someone who knew
those keys fit that car (took
them),” he said
Fink said he has had a bad
habit of leaving his keys in his
office doorknob while he was
in the office, something he
added he won’t do anymore.
He said he is not

optimistic about the chances
of recovery.
“I will probably get back a
ball of junk if I get anything
at all,” he said.
Fink said he had a good
day Wednesday when he
spoke at the Honors Day
convocation, but his day
wasn’t so good Thursday
after the theft of his car.
“There is an eternal bal
ance in life,” Fink said,
regarding the events of the
two days.
“It’s just a car,” he said.
“I’m lucky because my wife
wasn’t in (the car), and I
didn’t get a bullet in the
back of my head.”
University Police could
only confirm that the report
had been filed and had no
further information as of
press time Thursday.
