A 6The Daily Tar HeelThursday. March 28, 1985 Love blind to spilt milU By STEVEN J. AUSTIN Syndicated Columnist Dear Steven: My roommate is dating a guy who acts like he has never eaten with a knife and fork. The nerd drops food all over himself and can't make it through a meal without spilling something. At 19. you'd figure it was about time to act civilized, right? When will she realize what he's doing isn't cute, but pathetic? Pass the Bib Dear Bib: Maybe never. The guy must be a blast to watch at a salad bar. 1 guess when they say love is blind, they mean you don't notice the ketchup-stained shirts and milk moustaches. Dear Steven: Does a person have the right to demand seating in a non smoking section of a restaurant even if such accommodations have not specifically been provided? Gave 'em Up Dear Gave: Of course you do. But restaurateurs have the right to tell you to leave if you don't like the way they conduct business. It's also your right to say something nasty on your way out the door. Dear Steven: I recently finished writing my first novel and sent out copies of it to several book publish ers. I found their names in a guide for new writers. I received my first rejection a couple of days ago, but my manuscript wasn't returned along with the letter. I'm going to sue those jokers for stealing my NEED AN EASY PART-TIME JOB? Sera-Tec can help you earn extra money during your years at UNC.

You should enclose a self-addressed-stamped envelope with every submission. Got it? Dear Steven: IVe been dating a guy for over six months, and now I find out he's married and is in town to set up a new office for his company. I really like him, but the last thing I need in my life is to be the crooked line in a romantic triangle. He doesn't know that I know. How do I break it off without getting him upset? Why Me Dear Why: The dude has been dumping lines on you for half a year, and you want to give him a sweet goodbye? Well, we're all entitled to our own little trips. If you really want to break it off, a letter or phone call may be your best bet. A personal confrontation could result in a shouting match or an embrace which will make you think twice about your decision. Copyright 1985 by Steven J. Austin. Got a problem, question or comment?

Director Mitchell Ivers has created no whimsical Forest of Arden; he's constructed an absurdist mirror in which the audience can see itself. No one left the theatre unscathed by ridicule, because the ,play presents images of all stereotypes: mothers, fathers, vegetarians, homosexuals, rollerskaters, etc. The types are familiar and bland, for they live fads without commitment. Still, there is a frequent and incongruous bite that reminds the audience that "normality" is perhaps the most ridiculous type of all. The char acters are insane not with the lurid passion of those in Edward Albee's Who 's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? but with meohnnical stiffness WEEK TODAY L'Argent will be shown at 7 and 9 p.m. at XOthe ArtSchool.

Mf HIS'S'FW'lC 11, Zip rzzzi ' 5 J mnminroF m society mlliwisF theatre A young couple tries to raise their child in the best fashion possible while coping with their own very modern neuroses. Nevertheless, the ramifica tions are scarcely normal. The couple "throws out the baby with the bath water," as the saying goes, or, to use another cliche, "can't see the forest through the trees." Their good inten tions are lost on the boy; they raise him as a girl. The Young Man, played by David Gottlieb, resolves the conflict of his sexuality in a deft 10-minute mono logue. Both the forest and the trees emerge as the Young Man acknowl edges the insanity of the "normality" around him. The honesty that Gottlieb conveyed in this monologue was soo thing after his disruptive upbringing. Gottlieb dispelled the audience's suspi cion of the character's denseness.

As strongly as the performance struck out against modern society, it seemed above all to be a plug for psychiatrists that might have helped other characters. As Helen, the mother, Wanda Melocchi gave the most disturbingly neurotic performance. Her tone leapt hapha zardly from dutiful-mother softness to low, frustrated-wife bitterness (her only personal success was in writing the Cliff Notes to Scruples) to unwarranted anger as she shrieked at her husband, "Don't call (the baby) a baked potato!" It was easier to sympathize with John Feltch's portrayal of John, the father, but perhaps our sympathies made his character all the more disturbing. Feltch played a lovable but spineless drunk whose answer to every problem, from adultery to dirty diapers, is a shot of Nyquil. John and Helen's disjointed relation ship is a reflection of our times, with the current 50 divorce rate. Their 2000 at 10:30 p.m. in the Union Auditorium.

Is this insanity normal? Are these off-the-wall loons mirrors of society? Do these things happen every day? Well, perhaps not every day. The situations are quite obtuse, but the character types are familiar. Their words ring harsh but true. But what about the ducks? The stage was speckled with yellow ducks. They were a blatant reminder of the "bath water," of the fact that with every line, every scene, the baby was getting thrown out again. The ducks were grim but also cute and consoling. Baby was a grim little production, but still it offered a ray of hope, providing people can open their eyes and see the forest as well as the trees.
