British crafts to be introduced
Renaissance fest adds photo contest
The time has come to lift up your cares most capture the essence of the Texas ..row. ,
The time has come to lift up your cares
and experience the sixth Annual Texas
Renaissance Festival which will run each
Saturday and Sunday through Nov. 2.
The Festival is located between
Magnolia and Plantersville on Farm Road
1774. The gates are open from 9 a.m. to 7
p.m. each day.
This year, the Eastman Kodak Co. is of-
fering cash rewards for the best
photographs taken during the festival.
Pictures taken during this year’s
festival may be entered in the First Annual
Texas Renaissance Festival Photo Contest
for prizes.
Five prizes ranging from 950 to 9300 will
be given, according to Elroy Forbes,
spokesperson for the Texas Renaissance
Festival.
Prizes will be awarded to the photos that
most capture the essence of the Texas
Renaissance Festival, Forbes said.
All entries must be five inches by seven
inches or larger.
Mail all entries to: The Texas
Renaissance Festival, Rt. 2, Box 219A-1,
Plantersville, Texas 77363.
All entries must be received by Dec. 1,
1980, and all entries become the property
of the Texas Renaissance Festival. The
decision of the judge is final.
Judges will be Eastman Kodak and the
Texas Renaissance Festival.
The aim of the festival is to let Texans
and non-Texans experience the cultural
habits and events of the different peoples
during the Renaissance period.
The grounds are patterned after a 16th
century village, with costumed craftsmen
and artists selling their wares from rustic
shops.
Royalty mixes with the commoners,
wenches watch to steal a kiss, and hor-
semen compete for the king’s purse.
Stands selling the king’s brew, queen's
spirits, soda, ice tea and lemonade are
present in all food provinces, including
Hawk’s Haven Tavern near the Castle
Theatre.
A new company called Cornish En-
terprises, representing a variety of
traditional British skills, such as leather
working, armouring and wood turning, has
been introduced to the festival.
Ten craftsmen from the Cornish port of
Falmouth will stage demonstrations every
festival day and will show British wares
such as a set of horse armor, armored
helmets and weaving.
Upon entering the front gates, the old
Cottage Theatre is within view. Newly
renovated, the theatre is now being used
by the Royal Court of King Henry VIII and
Queen Anne Boleyn.
The festival games have been moved to
new and permanent locations. The games
of Fight the Knight, King of the’Lo, Jacob’s
Ladder, The Stocks, Skittles, Boci and
Catapult will give patrons more op-
portunity to test their skills as the villagers
did in the 16th century.
Festival tickets for adults are 97.95,
children 5 to 12 are 93.95, and children un-
der 5 are free. Price includes all en-
tertainment plus the horse shows at
Newmarket Race Track and free parking.
Special group rates are available by pre-
arrangement. Call (713) 356-3178 or
Ticketron.

LU Signing Cardinals
promote interaction
By DRORIT SZ AFR AN-HEITNER
of the UP staff
They come from different walks of life;
majors ranging from engineering or nur-
sing to computer science and education.
They do share, however, a common
bond. All are Lamar Signing Cardinals.
Under the direction of Dr. Freeman
King, assistant professor of com-
munication, the ranks of the Signing Car-
dinals have swelled from 20 un-
dergraduate students to 67 undergraduate
and graduate students in three years’
time.
“When we formed the Signing Cardinals
in 1978, we did so with a two-fold purpose in
mind,” King said. “First, we promote deaf
awareness. Second, we give deaf
education students and other interested
parties the opportunity to interact with
deaf people.”
It is through a musical avenue that the
Signing Cardinals communicate with the
community at large. Interpreting con-
temporary and religious music into sign
language, they offer song performances
for civic and educational organizations.
Performing for the public, though, is not
the only function of the Signing Cardinals,
King says. Many volunteer their time
assisting in the Speech and Hearing Clinic
or in classroom situations. Others help
new Signing Cardinals learn and master
the routines.
The Signing Cardinals will open the 1980-
81 school year Saturday, with a per-
formance for the District Eight Texas
Librarians Association, at the new Port
Arthur Public Library.
“In the early days, we had to hunt
around for places to perform, because no
one knew who the Lamar Signing Car-
dinals were, ” King said. “Today, though,
after performing for over 30,000 people,
word of mouth has taken over, and our
bookings are decided by whoever calls
us.”
It is King’s opinion that the Signing Car-
dinals are not only benefiting, the outside
community, but they also manage to serve
Lamar by bringing additional students in-
to the Speech and Hearing Program.
“You could say that we’re good public
relations for Lamar, because you can
never know where the spark you ignite will
go or where it will spread to, ” King said.
At a time when people talk about what
can be done to make this world a better
place, King said, the Lamar Signing Car-
dinals are taking time from their school
schedules to actually do something con-
crete about it.
“This isn’t all one-sided, though," King
said. “We have an opportunity here to
enrich the lives of others; a chance to
share. In turn, our lives become enriched,
and we become better people for it. That’s
not a bad trade.”
