Administrators and faculty to make cameos in Bacchus play      
                                                               
     A fast-paced comedy, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, will start the
U.D. theatre season. The play, by Scott Mason, assistant director of 
the student center, is set at the University and stars staff and     
alumni.                                                              
     There are cameo appearances by President David P. Roselle; Vice 
President of Student Life Stuart Sharkey; Dean of Students Tim Brooks;        
Robert Brown and Kathleen Duke of the honors program; and Burnaby    
Munson from the chemistry and biochemistry department.               
     Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be performed by the Bacchus    
Players at the Bacchus Theater in the Perkins Student Center at 8:15 
p.m., Sept. 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12. The cost is $5 for students and $8  
for the general public. New students may use discount flyers available        
at the main desk of the student center for $2 off the price of a     
ticket.                                                              
     Produced in 1985 and again in 1989, the play has been changed by   
Mason throughout the years to keep it timely. The setting used to be 
Generic U., but this year, Mason changed it to the University of     
Delaware, adding the cameo appearances for verisimilitude. A         
University alumnus, Mason used some of his own experiences in the    
play.                                                                
     Some of the action takes place at the main desk of the student  
center, which has been replicated in one set, right down to the Pepsi
machine. Bernie Coslar runs the desk both in real life and in the    
play, Mason said.                                                    
     The plot of the comedy centers around a student who has blown his        
ready cash and has no money for a meal ticket. In order to eat, he   
romances three young women students at the same time in hopes they   
will feed him. As might be expected, complications ensue.            
     "The play has always been well-received, and everyone seems to  
have a good time. This production should be even more fun because it 
zeroes in on the University and spoofs specific things on campus in a
good-humored way," Mason said.
