Planetarium honors N.C. 400th
By IVY HILLIARD
Stff Writer
The Mo re he ad Planetarium has an
early start on the celebration of the
400th anniversary of the colonization
of Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks
with its latest production, Opening New
Worlds.
The program, part of Orange Coun
ty's anniversary activities set to begin
in October, celebrates the parallel
developments in exploration of the New
World and in astronomic discoveries
which took place in the late ISth and
early 16th centuries.
Opening New Worlds is also the first
Morehead show to be written by
planetarium director Lee Shapiro.
Shapiro said he began to develop the
show when he looked back at the
historical records on the period of the
colonization and realized this period
was one of the most exciting times in
astronomy.
"Men like Kepler, Copernicus and
Galileo and their revolutionary discov
eries made this a general time of
exploration of both ideas and lands,"
Shapiro said.
The program explores the story of
John White, leader of the first successful
colonization effort in 1587, who went
back to England for more supplies that
same year and was delayed from
returning for three years by the Spanish
Armada. When he returned to Roa
noke, the colonists, including his
daughter and granddaughter, had
vanished without a trace.
This story is intertwined with the
discovery by Copernicus that the
planets revolve around the sun instead
of the earth; by Kepler of the planets
traveling in ellipses, not circles; and by
Galileo of lunar features, the moons of
Jupiter and suns pots.
"Europe in essence had been stagnant
for many centuries before this time,"
Shapiro said. "People were not encour
aged to go beyond the status quo."
Shapiro said this overall perspective
on the voyages and the thinking of the
time makes the program an exciting
show for people to attend.
As the show's writer, Shapiro said
he was able to preside over most of the
production aspects of the show and
work with the technicians on the . kinds
of special effects to put into the show.
"Compared to the other planetariums
I have been associated with," Shapiro
said, "there is more involvement for the
writer here in all aspects of the pro
duction. All phases of production go
back to the writer for feedback."
Shapiro said that one of the most
interesting connections made in the
show between the two areas of explo- .
ration was that Thomas Hariot, a
Roanoke voyage participant, probably
observed the moon and sunspots with
a telescope even before Galileo did.

Several interesting effects have been
included in the show among the more
common special effects. Along with an
episode demonstrating how planets
moved according to popular thinking
before Copernicus, one effect sets the
scene of Europe emerging from the
Middle Ages. In this scene, torches
flicker on and off as they move behind
the columns of a cloister to give a very
animated feeling to the opening of the
show. Other effects use the Zeiss
projector's special abilities, such as a
solar eclipse and streaking comets.
The show also uses slides "of some
of the drawings John White made
during the Roanoke voyages.
Shapiro said he expects the show to
pick up added viewers because it is part
of the 400th anniversary events.
Opening New Worlds, which will run
through Nov. 19, is shown nightly at
8 p.m., with additional matinee perfor
mances on Saturdays at 11 a.m., 1 and
3 p.m. (except on football Saturdays)
and Sundays at 2 and 3 p.m. Call 962

front of Anthony's third-quarter pass,
and Maye had a short toss picked off
in the Navy end zone to prevent a sure
UNC score, the tide surged enough for
Navy's flotilla to stay in the battle.
Maye could come up with no expla
nation for the second-half breakdown.
"We had opportunities to score and we
got it down close, but we just couldn't
put it in the end zone. We moved the
ball well I thought, we just didnt put
up as many points as I thought we could
have."
"We just weren't maintaining consis
tency out there," Anthony said. "We
were up on top one minute, and down
another. For this team to be good, we've
got to beat that."
The Tar Heels did show signs of
developing a potent offense. Tailback
Ethan Horton and fullback Eddie
Colson, probably the best backfield
combination in the ACC this year,
rushed for 96 and 97 yards, respectively,
and Colson proved to be especially
promising, dragging tacklers along with
him on several long runs.
"The line just happened to blow the
holes open," Colson said of his perfor
mance. "But I feel bad for the team,
because individuals don't win."
UNC head coach Dick Crum was not
terribly bitter about the loss, acknowl
edging that this was the first game of
the season for a very inexperienced
team. "We were a little worried about
our defense, because they are fairly
young," Crum said. "The offense was
not bad, they were probably good
enough to win. But we had a couple
of things happen, a couple of penalties
that killed drives and so forth. Navy
is very experienced offensively and they
did a good job with us."
The Tar Heels must now face their
second Heisman candidate in as many
weeks when they travel to Foxboro,
Mass., Saturday to play ninth-ranked
Boston College and quarterback Doug
Flutie, who picked apart Alabama in
a win last week.

and the Avia
680 delivers!
A men's training shoe for those who take their running
seriously. The cantilever sole absorbs the shock of
running far better than conventional flat-soled shoes.
The special ripple sole design gives the RT-680 a
dual-action shock absorbing system which better
protects your feet, ankles
and knees against the
wear and tear of .
running. No other shoe
promises foot stability
. from heel to toe. So
push this shoe to the .
limit. It won't let you
down.

Cable
from pags 1
Larry Griffin of Chesapeake, Va. said
he would be willing to pay a fee to get
cable in his Ehringhaus dormitory.
Some students said they did not care
about cable because they did not have
time to watch television. This was the
view of graduate student Joi Scaggs of
Hodgenville, Ky., and sophomore Kelly
Corbet of Raleigh.
Gail Conger, a senior from Sheboy
gan, Wis., said having cable television
in dormitories might cause hurt stu
dents grades.
"But they're all old enough," she said.
"If they want to sit in front of it all
the time, it's their decision."
But Beth Weeks, a freshman from
New Bern, said, "I can study with MTV
on.
Students were also asked about
Student Television, which had its
premiere show Wednesday on Village
Cable's Public Access channel 1 1. Some
said they had not even heard of STV,
such as freshman Doug Robinson of
Clemson, S.C. Alan Welfare, a fresh
man from Wilmington, said he had
heard of it but did not know how to
get the channel.
Conger said she had watched the'
premiere show partly because she had
been one of those interviewed for its
segment on sorority rush. "I was
impressed by the guys who interviewed
us," she said. "The show looked like
a high-quality product."
