‘Grand Hotel’ set for
UNC stage tonight
By Rahul Mehta
Arts Coordinator
“Grand Hotel, The Musical” is “Big
Broadway” in its biggest sense.
“Big” meaning big sets, big costumes
and big surprises. But most of all, big
musical numbers that are Broadway at
its best.
The Union Performing Arts Series
presents the national touring produc
tion of “Grand Hotel, The Musical” at
8 p.m. today in Memorial Hall. The
production is by the Troika Organiza
tion that brought the campus “Fiddler
On the Roof’ last fall.
Set in the lobby of the “Grand Hotel”
in 1928 Berlin, the musical delves into
the private lives of its assorted guests,
including an aging ballerina, a bankrupt
baron and a dying bookkeeper.
As the musical slowly unlocks the
secrets behind each hotel door, it be
comes more and more clear that this is
no ordinary hotel and, judging from its
success on Broadway, no ordinary mu
sical either.
The 1989 Broadway production won
five Drama Desk Awards and five Tony
Awards, including Best Choreography.
Legendary director Tommy Tune helped
the production earn its Tony for Best
Hospital: Worker’s ‘HIV POSITIVE’ tattoo unsettling
The Associated Press
SEATTLE A hospital nursing as
sistant has put his job on the line with a
tattoo declaring himself “HIV POSI
TIVE.”
John Baldetta, 28, infected with the
virus that causes AIDS, said he got the
tattoo in December to stimulate discus
sions about human immunodeficiency
virus and AIDS.
He said he kept the tattoo covered at
the request of a supervisor at Harborview
Medical Centeruntil Wednesday, when
he decided that no one should tell him
how to dress.
Baldetta said he was told to leave the
hospital after he twice refused tc cover
the tattoo, which is on his left forearm.

“Grand Hotel” is based on the popu
lar Vicki Baum novel and inspired by
the 1932 classic MGM film interpreta
tion starring Greta Garbo and John
Barrymore.
Although the cast members of this
touring production have performed on
many stages during the past several
months, Memorial Hall’s stage won’t
be new to at least one of them. Former

Reidy play s a bellboy in “Grand Hotel.”
He also has been in North Carolina
Theatre productions of “Funny Girl,”
“Oklahoma!” and “Camelot.” He said
he would like to dedicate his perfor
mance in this production to his family.
“Grand Hotel” is a period piece very
much about what it meant to live in the
19205. They weren’t golden for every
one, especially for those who lived in
the Berlin of German inflation, unem
ployment and Nazi threats. But even
through the foreshadowing of a world
soon to be at war, “Grand Hotel” never
ceases in its frivolity or delightful deca
dence.
Tickets are available at the Union
Box Office. They are $22 for general
public, S2O for senior citizens and sl2

He was suspended for three days but
allowed to return to work Monday until
hospital administrators decided whether
he could keep his job.
“We just feel it can make patients
overly anxious, put them in a compro
mising position and affect the outcome
of their stay here in the hospital,” hospi
tal spokeswoman Tina Mankowski said.
On Monday night, after returning to
work for the day, Baldetta said the people
he met understood his position.
“It was very good, very positive,” he
said. “I got a lot of support from patients
and families of patients and staff.”
He said that since he does no in vasi ve
procedures, patients did not feel they
were at risk. Nursing assistants feed,

The suspension and review of
Baldetta’s job status have nothing to do
with his being HIV-positive,

Dr. Bob Wood, AEDS-control of

courageous because his job is at stake

Georgia governor urges
removal of Confederate
emblem from state flag
The Associated Press
ATL ANT A—The governor warned
lawmakers Tuesday to remove the Con
federate battle banner from the state
flag or be scorned by future genera
tions. He said the banner was a linger
ing symbol of pride in slavery.
But legislative leaders said Gov. Zell
Miller’s animated, sometimes impas
sioned speech was like Pickett’s fa
mous charge at Gettysburg gallant
but unsuccessful.
The red and blue crossed-bars em
blem was incorporated into the state
flag in 1956 amid mounting Southern
resistance to school desegregation.
Miller contends the flag sends the
wrong message for the state that will be
host of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
But polls have shown little voter sup
port for a change.
“It is clear the flag was changed... to
identify Georgia with the dark side of
the Confederacy that desire to de
prive some Americans of the equal rights
that are the birthright of all Americans,”
Miller said in his State of the State
speech to a joint session of the state
legislature.
Georgia has buried those days with
its past, except for a flag that “exhibits
pride in the enslavement of many of our
ancestors,” said Miller, great-grandson
of a Confederate soldier.
He warned legislators they must vote
with him or be fore ver scorned by future
generations.
“You cannot escape this individual
decision. You cannot hide in the crowd,”
he said.
Georgia House Speaker Tom
Murphy, a Democrat like Miller, said
he was unswayed by the governor’s
speech to change the flag’s decorations.
“My people gave me a message loud

I would say better than 95 percent of my
people are opposed to it. So I can’t vote
to change it myself,” Murphy said.
Lt. Gov. Pierre Howard, the state
Senate’s presiding officer, said it was
too early to say whether Miller’s appeal
helped, since many legislators made
campaign commitments to vote against
changing the flag.
“They’ll have to weigh that against
the issues of conscience which the gov
ernor raised today,” he said.
Black legislators, who supportchang
ing the Georgia flag, applauded Miller
several times during the speech.
“I think Zell Miller’s speech had an
emotional impact on many of them,”
said Rep. Tyrone Brooks, a Democrat.
“I think he closed the gap to some
extent. ... I really do believe that we
have a fighting chance now.”
Miller’s decision to push the contro
versial flag issue that apparently lacks
popular support raises new questions
about his future involvement in politi
cal endeavors.
He once said he would serve only a
single four-year term, but since then, he
has suggested he might seek re-election
in 1994. Miller’s term as governor of
Georgia in Jan. 1995.
“If the governor is planning to run
again, I would say his speech today ...
helps him immensely in the Democratic
primary,” which attracts large numbers
of black voters, said state Senate Presi
dent Pro Tern Wayne Gamer, a Demo
crat.
But Miller’s success in a general
election campaign could depend on
whether the Republican candidate used
the flag issue against him, Gamer said.
