SUNDAY
A lone, proud drummer made of terra cotta clay. A colorful overview of a Haitian town, painted to emphasize festive but flat patterns. A West African wall hanging with appliqued images of lions and other beasts.
These are among 28 art works on view at Virginia Wesleyan College's Hofheimer Library. A free, public reception for ``The Morris Collection: Art of Jamaica, Haiti and Southern Africa'' takes place Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
During the reception, Winston and Frank Morris of Baltimore, Md., will talk about collecting; it became their passionate hobby in recent years as they toured the globe.
The first public showing of the couple's collection opened last week, and continues through Feb. 15 at 1584 Wesleyan Dr., Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Hours are Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.; Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday 2:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Free. 455-3200.

TONIGHT
Out on Highway 57, a bunch of wild-lookin' pump boys who can sing have a station right next to The Double Cupp Diner. Those Cupp sisters sure do cook up some fine grits and tasty pies. And, man, can they wail.
``Pump Boys and Dinettes,'' the Tarheel musical that once warmed off-Broadway with its down-home friendliness, opens tonight at Founders Inn Dinner Theater in Virginia Beach.
Produced by Beach-based Dominion Theatre, the show is short on plot and long on toe-tapping, energetic musical numbers. It's an everyman's musical. Look for tunes about missing grandma, learning to get along with your sister, and going fishing.
Show times: 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with dinner seating at 6:30 p.m. Sunday curtain is at 7:30 p.m., with dinner at 5:30 p.m. For dinner and theater, $35.50. Theater only, $22.
Founders Inn is at 5641 Indian River Rd. For reservations or information, call 366-5749.

SATURDAY
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE distinguishing between fact and fiction after beaming over to the ``Star Trek: Federation Science'' exhibit at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton - worry not. Scientists and sci-fi writers have been trying to outdo each other for years. The 6,000-square-foot national traveling exhibit with its 40 interactive displays unveils scientific principles crucial to living and working in space. It lands Saturday and continues through April 30. George Takei - who played Sulu in the original series and films - hosts the exhibit's opening day. See museum listings for times. Admission is $6; $4 for ages 3 to 11, seniors, military and NASA employees. 727-0900.
