"We feel that the center more than deserves our attention and funds because of the esteem it has brought the University and its need for funds in breast cancer research," she said. The main sources of revenue will be sponsor and individual donations and T-shirt and cup sales, Totten said. "We don't want to estimate a figure because it's the first time that this has been done," she said. "We plan to take this year's figure and set a goal for the following years."

In my view, this is an enlightened and humane project, and I support it with enthusiasm." The benefit is designed to "raise money for the Lineberger Center, promote inter-fraternal and inter sororal relations and foster relations between Greeks and administrative faculty," said Brent Milgrom, pres ident of the Inter-Fraternity Council and benefit co-chairman. Another goal of the benefit is to improve the image of Greek organ izations, Totten said. "We want to make people aware of the good things sororities and fraternities do instead of the stereo Universal themes involve audience in play Recurring and repressive are the cycles of life as lived by characters in "History of a Staircase." The Lab Theatre's current production, this drama by Antonio Buero-Vallejo portrays life in a run-down Spanish apartment house over the span of three generations of inhabitants. Never before has "History" been performed in English. Director Susy Layer translated the work from its original Spanish and adapted it for Lab production. The play seems well-suited to the physical conditions of the Lab Thea tre in that the focal prop the staircase easily fits in Graham Memorial's minute basement theater. The closed-in atmosphere also reflects the theme of entrapment, which runs through the play, as well as the feeling of being in a stairwell. The idealism of youth and the disillusionment and bitterness that come with aging are other themes central to the play. Characters dream and romance, struggle with poverty and resentment, watch their parents die and their children repeat their own lives. But as life goes on, the staircase remains constant. All action takes place on the stairs leading up to the four apartments where the characters live. The people involved are amazingly public and do everything out in the stairwell, from proposing marriage to smoking to grieving the death of a spouse. Considering how central the staircase is to their lives, the most common threat is to throw someone down the stairs, and the most common w ay of defusing a conflict is to go inside an apartment. "History" is an ensemble work without a genuine star. Kasey Jones makes her character, Paca the loud mouthed gossip, a standout. Jones ages well, making Paca feisty and formidable in middle age and infuri atingly feeble as an old woman. Paca's family includes her son Urbano as the worker who pins his hopes on unionization, her daughter Trini as the "good girl" and old maid, and her daughter Rosa as the scan dalous flirt who winds up with a lousy This Monday & u u TOO) CO os.

In the past, sororities and frater nities have had various fund-raisers for different charities, Milgrom said. "This year we thought we would be able to sponsor a much larger benefit if each house co-sponsored an event," Totten said. All Greek organizations are par ticipating in the event, except Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Milgrom. said. "Some chose not to participate due to financial difficulties and skepti cism," he said. According to Milgrom, some organizations will not participate in the "Destination Unknown" mixer jr ' - y 1 l - f v ' Paul Dawson (left) and Andy Ward play Fernando and Urbano Elizabeth Ellen Theater man. The intrigues of this family and its neighbors are the play's storyline. One of the neighbors is Fernando (Paul Dawson), a dreamer who winds up marrying for a bit of money instead of love. He embodies the desire of everyone in the play to get out out of the apartment house, out of poverty and out of a rut. Maria HCHT FEAR WITH FACTS o Every Monday! Ipj because it costs each group $500 plus bus fees, but those organizations plan to participate in other events. The councils sponsor a charity that lacks funds from other resources, Milgrom said. They often choose a local charity to create community relations with fraternities and sororities. On Monday, March 21, the Greek Week Benefit will begin with a bloodmobile sponsored by the coun cils and Alpha Phi Omega. Tuesday's activities include a balloon liftoff in the Pit and a Greek night out at local bars. Wednesday will feature a cappella singing by the Four Corners and the Earman is convincingly bitchy as his wife Elvira, and Stacey Evans comes across as downright spaced-out as his dishrag girlfriend Carmina. Fernan do's friend Urbano is well-played by Andy Ward who brings a certain good-old-boy quality to the role. The subject matter of "History" is fairly heavy material, and at times the acting is rather overdone, especially in the romantic scenes. Luckily, there are a few humorous touches, mostly ironic, which lighten the overall mood somewhat. The fact that the audience does not become too emotionally involved with the individual charac ters also keeps the work from being hopelessly weighed down with gloom. Arguing is something the cast can really do well, a good thing consid ering at least half of the play's action "Take 200 Connor I ChaDel I From Franklin St. ( turn on Couch Rd. at) jm.

The final showdown' between households, in which every body comes out into the stairwell, is a verbal slugfest. The audience's close proximity-to the action make the bickering all the more realistic; there is a sense of being in the building and being annoyed because the no-good folks next door are airing their unsightly personal conflicts right out on the staircase. "History of a Staircase" is an interesting play and a worthy addi tion to the Lab's repertoire. Not particularly Spanish, the story could take place in just about any urban working class setting. The play's life cycle themes are as universal and as alternately exhilarating and exhaust ing as climbing a familiar flight of stairs.
