6The Daily Tar Heel Friday, April 15, Project to By SAMANTHA NEWMAN Staff Writer About I00UNC students will work on community projects to raise money to end hunger as part of Saturday s Hunger Clean-Up, spon sored by the Hunger Action Com mittee of the Campus Y. "We're so excited about this pro ject." said co-chairman Mark Burnis ton. "It's doing four things at once: helping to end hunger in Africa, helping to end hunger in Chapel Hill, helping clean up the area and improv ing town-campus relations." Volunteers will spend from 1 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday working on different community projects, for which they have collected pledges. Half of the money they collect will go to the National Student Campaign Against Hunger for global and national projects, and the other half will go to the Orange County Social Serv ices and Inter-Faith Council for Social Services for projects in Chapel Hill. Focusing By MICHAEL SPIRTAS Staff Writer The Program for the Arts and Humanities is in the midst of pres enting a lineup of scholarly and artistic events concerning John Gav's 1728 farce, "The Beggar's Opera." The program, which began Wednes day, features a concert, lecture, exhibit, movies and a symposium. All ev ems are free and open to the public. The symposium, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hanes Art Center auditorium, features four speakers. John Brewer, Director of UCLA's Center for 17th and 18th Centuries Studies, will give a talk entitled "Footpads, Thieves, and Highwaymen: A Criminal Context for 'The Beggar's Opera.'" Ellen Harris, Chairman of the Department of Music at the Univ ersity of Chicago, will speak on "English Operatic Directions in 1728." Nicholas McGegan, the world renowned conductor of the Philhar monia Baroque Orchestra in San Francisco, will give a speech entitled "Baroque Theatrical Conventions V. rARSITY TpSP EAST FRANKL1 WINNER 7 CESARS INCLUDING BEST PICTURE WINNER Sj25 GOLDEN LION Venice Film Festival "A FIAT OUT PERFECT FILM.

About 100 volunteers will clean up a housing project in Carrboro; paint a Headstart classroom and fix up a playground; collect clothes for Good will; collect canned foods for local pantries; do yard work and lay down insulation for an elderly home; and work on newsletters for the Rape Action Center. "Everywhere communities are trying to meet the needs that the government hasn't been able to meet," said Dobbs. "We're trying to help the groups that are shortest on resources and funds." At the same time it is cleaning up the community, the group is trying to raise money for hunger. The committee has asked each volunteer to collect $50 in pledges. The pairing of community work and fund-raising in on The Beggar's Opera' and The Beggar's Opera.' " McGe gan, who describes himself as "a man who waves his arms around for a living," said that he will discuss the workings of the technical aspects of the Italian opera of that time. According to McGegan, the technol ogy of the period was complex, yet different from the conventions of the modern theater. A fourth talk will be given by Ronald Paulson, a Paul Mellon Professor of English at Johns Hop kins University. He will discuss William Hogarth's book, "The Beg gar's Opera." "I will show how structures he (Hogarth) finds in The Beggar's Opera' affect the rest of his work," Paulson said. The concert runs tonight at 8 p.m. at Gerrard Hall. Jon Finson and Brent Wissick will direct "The Music in London Around the Time of The Beggar's Opera.' " In addition to this week's events, there is a month-long exhibit in Davis Library. The exhibit will display scores, books, record jackets and NORTH CAROLINA'S STATE-OF-THE-ART FILM SHOWPLAHEi Peter Travers temsm dimmi) m w i m mm ,(4 I 'y. - mr Wil is especially effective, Dobbs said. "It's hard to get people involved in hunger projects," she said. "The problem is so overwhelming that people tend to think it's a waste of their time and that they can't really make a difference. But with a project like this, the immediate results are tangible and satisfying. This increases motivation. It's a great idea." Ironically, a problem in motivating people for hunger projects is the publicity that hunger crises have recently received, Dobbs said. "So much attention was given to the famine situation in Ethiopia that people think the problem is over," she said. "But we're trying to emphasize the long-term goals. We don't just want to feed people today and tomorrow. We want to help build wells in Africa for clean water. We want to contribute to a significant change." Cyndy Dy, chairwoman of the Work Site Committee, said the best scenes ot performances related to the play. Also on display will be a reproduction of a Hogarth painting of a scene from the play. "We plan to have a large-scale symposium of this sort every year," said Marilyn Grunkemeyer, Program Director of the Program for the Arts and Humanities. Next year the program will host a series of events concerning the multiple cultures in Apple Chill hand-crafted items, including pottery, woodworking, jewelry and leather goods. Chapel Hill residents Mark Mar copolos and his wife, Wanda Sun dermann, are marketing a product rarely seen at craft shows the wooden coffin. Sundermann said she and Mar copolos decided to build the coffins last year when they realized that many people do not want to invest great sums of money in "a fancy coffin w ith a satin lining and lots of pillows. "(Such a burial) is contrary to the way we live," she said. Marcopolos will display the plain, rectangular pine boxes, which can also be used as storage chests, benches E. teWiWp .

Q fiinikwkfii thing about the Hunger Clean-Up is that it is taking action to effect change. "So many committees on campus spend their time protesting things," she said. "But for me, this project is taking positive action. The combina tion of collecting money while doing community work is a very efficient and active way to help out human itarian goals." The committee's intent was to get businesses to donate free T-shirts, free refreshments for the workers and money for the cause. The help was not forthcoming, probably because of the newness of the project, Dobbs said. "We're not established enough," she said. "Nobody wanted to give money yet. We got a few certificates from Schoolkids Records and a free dinner at the Rathskeller to give away. Next year looks more prom ising, though. Pizza Hut wants to be a big-name sponsor next year." the South. The events surrounding "The Beggar's Opera" will be given extra emphasis due to PlayMakers Reper tory Company's simultaneous pro--duction of Gay's play.

The purpose of the rule is to allow congress to be familiar with the groups it is funding, Davis said. "If we're giving money, we need to know how a group functions," he said. "In order to know that we have to know what amendments they make." Although Davis said it could be a tough decision, he said he will not allow the Campus Y to go through the budget process unless it complies with' the rule. ; - "My committee has been more than fair with them," Davis said.

Winslow said the Campus Y is working on a constitution for the summer group to submit to congress Sunday, because it only receives summer funding. He said he is not sure if he will submit it. Davis said he would not accept a summer constitution, because he only gave the extension for the regular constitution. But Bobby Ferris, finance commit tee chairman, ' said he would be surprised if Davis ;doesnt accept' a summer constitution. - - "In this scenario, it (a summer constitution) is satisfactory but not equitable because they (Campus Y members) are getting away with something other groups didn't," Ferris said. Winslow said if the Campus Y does not receive funding, it will seek alternative funds and may have to cut some summer programs. Both Davis and Winslow said the problem was not caused by personal animosity. "This isn't any personal vendetta," Davis said. "I'm going by the laws." QflDo(KooCK!D m 2:50 o 4:50 o 7:00 o 9:00 hi ( !
