By Anna Pond Staff Writer Grammy award-winning Sweet Honey in the Rock, a female a cappella group, will bring its sound back to Chapel Hill tonight in Memorial Hall. Sonia Pratap, a member of the Carolina Union Student Interests Committee, said she helped bring Sweet Honey back to UNC. “They came here two or three years ago, and they have a unique sound,” she said. Sweet Honey’s concert is one in a series of presentations that celebrate Black History Month at UNC. Rookie Shines in Directorial Debut By Thomas Dail Staff Writer Some things about Lab! Theatre’s production of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” are not very surprising. For instance, three well-established campus actors put on a great show. What might be surprising is Charlie Todd’s success in his first time in the director’s chair. The play revolves around a seven year affair between Emma and her hus band’s best friend, Jerry.

Sweet Honey takes its name from a traditional fable about a land so rich that even a Sweet Honey in the Rock Tonight 8 p.m. Memorial Auditorium sl3 for students S2O for general public rock would flow with honey when bro ken. This year, it celebrates 25 years of music with anew CD, 25. Tonight, Sweet Honey will perform songs from its latest release. For the past quarter-century, the group has enlivened the music scene with songs drawing on a varied mix of black musical styles that promote issues of social conscience. Pratap described the a cappella music as a mix of spirituals and rhythm and blues. Jazz and pop music also comprise Theater Review “Betrayal" Lab! Theatre ffff Pinter uses one of his trademark dra matic tech niqu e s , reversed tem poral move- ment, to make the tragic destruction of people’s lives even more bitter. Chad Idol portrays Robert, the cuck olded publisher. Idol plays on Robert’s increasingly abusive relationship with his wife. The implication is that long after love is gone, the desire to do your the group’s influences, forming a diverse and distinct sound. Pratap cited the group’s local popu larity as one of the reasons for its return. “They have a pretty good following in Chapel Hill,” she said. Sonny Browne, a senior from Kelford, said he would be one of the fans in the crowd tonight. He said he learned of the group at a concert he attended over Winter Break. “They were outstanding. Their voic es were so powerful,” he said. Browne’s opinion is confirmed by Sweet Honey’s 1988 Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Recording for their ren dition of Lead Belly’s “Grey Goose.” Both Pratap and Browne said they would not miss tonight’s show. Pratap said, “I’m very excited about it” The Arts Editors can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu. spouse one better remains. We watch as Robert’s initial pain of learning of the affair gnaws on his pride for years. Four years after learning about the affair, Robert and Jerry finally discuss it. Playing Robert’s best friend, Jerry, Joey Riddle explores the dual nature of Jery’s affair with Emma: the malice and the love. He obviously enjoys the cloak and-dagger secrecy of an affair with his best friend’s wife. He also enjoys gloat ing about it while lunching with Robert. Emma’s motivation for the affair remains less clear in this production. At times Emma, played by Michelle Ries, acts like the affair is simply a diversion - something to do in the afternoons. At other times, she seems devoted to Jerry in a way she is not devoted to Robert. It takes an exceptional director and talented cast to give a complex play like “Betrayal” its full power. With these key ingredients, this production delivers a stunningly honest interpretation of Pinter’s play. The Arts Editors can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu.

Kinnaird cited many problems caused by rapid development, including sedi mentation and poor air quality. Kinnaird said the state must find the common ground between development and environmental protection. “We need to sit down and rethink these issues,” Kinnaird said. “We can find a sustainable balance providing adequate jobs for citizens as well as maintaining the quality of life.” In the past, she has championed a diverse range of legislation from satellite voting sites on college campuses to pet neutering to regulating hog farming. Many of these bills eventually passed, but some required help from the Republican-controlled House. “I was able to work with the House to PERMIT From Page 3 staff stated that developments already approved through a Master Plan, the rough sketch of a development, would not be affected by any new requirement ? ROADSIDE ROSES make sure some of these bills got passed,” Kinnaird said. Kinnaird credits such bipartisan cooperation for getting bills through in the past and is looking for repeat coop eration in the current session, where the Democrats control both chambers. And senators from both parties are looking forward to working with Kinnaird in her new position. Sen. John Garwood, R-Alexander, served with Kinnaird on the Senate Agriculture Committee last session. He said that while he respected the senator and her views, their philosophies were not the same. “She doesn’t pull up at the same point I do,” Garwood said. “I find her some times extremely interested in one point of view at the expense of all considera tions. She just has a liberal philosophy.” Despite their different viewpoints, Garwood said he found Kinnaird easy to work with and welcomed her strong Also before the council and the pub lic tonight is a proposal to limit the ini tial paving of approved parking areas.

Austin Allran, R-Catawba, said he admired Kinnaird for sticking to her principles, even when they strayed from the majority. “She stands up for what she believes in, and that’s what every one should do,” Allran said. Sen. Brad Miller, D-Wake, said the chairmanship was an important job because of the high volume of legislation which goes through the committee. “Each year about one quarter to one third of the General Assembly’s bills come through the State and Local Government Committee,” Miller said. Kinnaird said she was ready for the challenge and planned to to use her new position to serve her constituents.
