PlayMakers plans
special matinee series

Area teenagers will get exposure to
both the University and fine drama
this year as the PlayMakers Reper
tory Company launches a new season
of matinees for junior and senior high
school students.
The matinee series consists of five
plays offered from September to
April. This year's program comprises
"Romeo and Juliet," "Orphans," "A
Child's Christmas In Wales," "On
The Verge," and "The Beggar's
Opera."
.The program seems to be very
popular with the students, said PRC
public relations director Jon Curtis.
"It's fascinating to watch the students
faces when they watch the plays," he
said. "It's the first exposure many of
these students have to live drama, and
their reactions are almost always
enthusiastic."
Curtis said teachers try to integrate
the performances into their classroom
teaching of the plays, and he said the
educational value of the plays is
enhanced by the question-and-answer
sessions that follow each perfor
R.E.M. concert
Tickets go on sale today for two
R.E.M. concerts scheduled for Oct.
3 and 4 at Duke's Cameron Indoor
Stadium. A limit of eight tickets per
purchaser will be imposed, according
to officials at Page Box Office.

But UNC administrators weren't
ready to encourage students to attend
'the forum instead of class.
"I think everyone would agree that
this is an outstanding opportunity,
but I don't think youll find anyone
who sees it as a formal excuse to miss
class," Frederic Schroeder, dean of
students, said Tuesday.
Opinions varied among the faculty
on allowing students to skip class
without penalty, but none of those
interviewed Tuesday favored cancel
ing classes.
"If it's suitable to the course
content and the professor feels it
would be an important educational
experience, then it's acceptable for
students (to miss class)," said Richard
Richardson, chairman of the Depart
ment of Political Science.
However, Richardson stressed that
there should be no "across-the-board
amnesty." He said the political science

mance. Students are able to exchange
ideas with the actors and director of
the play during these sessions, Curtis
said, and the members of the com
pany can provide the students with
insights into the methods of staging
and performing plays.
Curtis said that although the
program has been trouble-free in the
past, teachers still have to ensure that
the groups they bring are mature
enough to appreciate the plays. Plays
such as "Orphans" sometimes have
strong language or mature themes,
and teachers have to make sure they
dont bring younger students to plays
that are intended for a more mature
audience, he said.
The program, which is in its fifth
year, has been seen by more than
25,000 students. No schools have yet
made reservations for this year's
program, but Curtis said groups from

department wanted to leave the final
decision to individual instructors.
Thomas Bowers, associate dean of
the School of Journalism, said
students who want to go to the
debates should be able to attend
without penalty.
Lars Schoultz, director of Latin
American studies, agreed. "I certainly
am in favor of permitting students
to attend without penalty," he said.
An opposing view came from
Charlotte McFall, administrative
manager for the English department.
She said she was unsure that the
forum will have a wide enough appeal
to justify a policy of no penalization
for missing class.
McFall said she would agree if the
class to be missed were political
science, but not necessarily for classes
in other subjects.
The planners of the forum should
have foreseen that students would be
in class, she said.

Maybe preparing for a team like
the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners is just
a question of getting in the right state
of mind. Maybe they are just another
team, and perhaps they can be beaten.
But there was no mistaking the tone
of respect in UNC coach Dick Crum's
voice Tuesday as he spoke of the Tar
Heels' upcoming game with the
Sooners.
"This is as good a football team
as Oklahoma has had in a long time,"
Crum said at his weekly press con
ference. "They are a very complete
football team and they deserve to be
ranked No. 1. They execute their
offense very well, and I think people
overlook how well-coached they are."
The normally low-key Crum was,
obviously enough, effusive in his
praise for the Sooners. But respect
does not necessarily translate into
awe. "Somebody's got to be the
underdog, so well be the underdog
this week," Crum said.
Wide receiver Eric Lewis was more
definitive about UNC's determina
tion not to succumb to the Norman
mystique.
"We are just looking at Oklahoma
as another opponent," Lewis said.
"We have a senior-dominated team,
guys with a lot of experience, guys
that arent going to be intimidated.
We're just going to go out there and
play a great football game."
Of course, there is a fine line
between being brave and being
foolhardy. Defensive tackle Tim
Goad may have crossed that line
when he was asked whether he was
scared of Sooner quarterback Jamelle
Holieway, unquestionably the pre
mier option signal-caller in the

holds Pit Day
Shall we again use enigmatic to
describe the Sports Club Council?
Yes, we shall.
The enigmatic Sports Club
Council is having a Day in the Pit
today, Wednesday, Sept. 9. The
Pit will be filled with boats, tables
and presumably athletic-looking
people. All of these things and all
of these people will be representing
the various sports clubs at UNC.
Information on each of the
clubs will be available, and if any
particular sport catches your eye
you can sign up. The club scene
runs the gamut, or perhaps it
should be the gauntlet, from
lacrosse to crew, and includes
other, non-preppy sports.

"Not a bit," Goad said. "He's just
another football player like we are.
And last week, North Texas State
actually did a pretty good job of
defending the wishbone, although the
score didn't show it."
Oklahoma scored ten touchdowns
en route to a 69-14 trouncing of North
Texas State Saturday.
Crum seemed more enamored of
Holieway than Goad, and was emi
nently conscious of the difficulty the
Tar Heels will encounter in stopping
him.
"He is an extremely strong youngs
ter, with excellent speed and accel
eration," Crum said of the California
boy. "He's like a tailback playing
quarterback, and in their scheme of
things, they want him to run the ball."
State-ECU rivalry has uncertain future
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH The North Carolina
State University Athletics Council
scheduled a meeting Tuesday to
discuss the future of the 18-year
college football series between the
Wolfpack and East Carolina
University.
The council, whose meeting was
prompted by Saturday's rampage by
East Carolina fans at Carter-Finley
Stadium, was expected to make a
recommendation to NCSU Athletic
Director Jim Valvano and Chancellor
Bruce Poulton.
N.C. State Sports Information
Director Mark Bockelman said the
closed meeting could last several
hours. However, Bockelman said
Valvano would make a statement
after the meeting ended.

Crum also touched on the uniaue Kennv had a lot of room to run. Bi
Crum also touched on the unique
problems his team faces in attempting
to stop the wishbone. s
"You're not going to simulate
Oklahoma's speed, unless we went
over and got a couple of guys from
track," he said. "(The wishbone)
requires a considerable adjustment in
your defense. And there's a lot of
discipline involved in playing against
it."
The future wasnt the only topic
of discussion Tuesday, though. Crum
also spoke on the more pleasant
subject of UNC's 34-14 demolition of
Illinois last Saturday.
"Going in, you really didn't know
what to expect," he said of the Illini.
"They had a good offensive line, and
I thought their defense was good. It
was a game with changes of
momentum."
Early in the second period, that
momentum was mainly with the men
in orange, as the Tar Heels gave them
excellent field position on three
separate occasions. "In the second
quarter, our defense got put to the
test a little earlier than I hoped they
would," Crum said.
But the defense passed that test,
missing only the question about Illini
fullback Jeff Markland, who had a
10-yard touchdown scamper to put
Illinois up, 7-3. Then there was punter
Kenny Miller's jaunt, which seems to
have captured the imagination of the
world, or at least of Chapel Hill.
Crum still sounded shocked by the
whole affair as he spoke of it.
"Miller had to hop over a couple
of guys that were lying on the
ground," the coach said. "Then Larry
Whiteside came back and made a
block that knocked two guys out, and
Valvano and Poulton will have the
final say in whether to continue the
rivalry, Bockelman said.
Meanwhile, an N.C. State Univer
sity public safety officer injured
during the post-game brawl has
positively identified his assailant.
Maj. Larry D. Liles of the NCSU
Public Safety Department said the
young man accused in the attack was
picked out from a videotape of the
game made by WRAL-TV. The
accused, who was wearing a purple
pullover shirt, was singled out by the
injured officer, Robert W. Malason,
a life safety inspector with the public
safety department.
Malason went by the station
Monday, viewed the video and
"definitely could pick out the person
who assaulted him," Liles said.

Kenny had a lot of room to run. But
I guess it wasn't enough room."
Miller was caught from behind
before he reached the end zone.
The play sparked the Tar Heels in
the second half, as they came out and
rolled over the Illini.
"Offensively, we began to block
better, to adjust to what their defense
was doing," Crum said. "If we had
wanted to, we could have scored
again, but I didn't think that was
necessary."
The win earned UNC the 19th spot
in UPI's Top 20 poll.
The other big-play man Saturday,
sophomore tailback Torin Dorn, was
accorded ACC Offensive Player of
the Week honors along with Virginia
wide receiver John Ford. Senior
strong safety Norris Davis shared
defensive honors with Duke defensive
end Dave Demore.
Crum seemed justifiably pleased
with Dorn's performance. "Once
Torin settled down in the second half,
I thought he played very well," Crum
said. "I thought he did the best job
of using his downfield blockers of any
back we've had since IVe been here."
Since Crum has been at Chapel
Hill, his teams have played the
Sooners but once. That was in 1980,
when UNC's visit to Norman did not
end on a happy note, as the Tar Heels
were blown out, 41-7. Crum was
asked whether that loss would have
any impact on this Saturday's game.
"I dont think so," he said. "I think
this is a better Oklahoma football
team than the one we played in 1980,
but all the guys on the team are happy
to go out there and play."
And happiness, after all, is just a
state of mind.
Liles said the department's inves
tigative unit is in charge of tracking
down the man, who is believed to be
an ECU student. Liles said investi
gators will review the video, possibly
make a copy of it, then ask for
assistance from ECU's campus police.
Malason's right eye was injured
when he tried to pull the East
Carolina fan from a goal post on the
north end of the stadium. Nearly
2,000 fans, most of them ECU
supporters, spilled onto the field after
the Pirates defeated N.C. State.
During his struggle with the pole
climber, Malasoi told The Raleigh
Times that another person jumjwd
him from behind. He said that when
he turned to confront that person, the
person on the pole "blind-sided" him
with a blow to the head.
