4The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, September 27, 1988 Card section . suspended for season By LESLIE WILSON Staff Writer The card section has been sus pended from all future UNC football games this season because of danger from students throwing the cards, athletic department officials said Monday. The problem was evident at the first home game Sept. 10, against Oklahoma, when fans threw the cards they had been given, said Richard Baddour, associate athletic director. Although the effect of the colored cards in the air brought some shouts of encouragement, the action was dangerous because the cards fell back into the stands, striking many fans. After the Oklahoma game, the Spirit Group, consisting of represen Inter-Faith By JULIE CAMPBELL Staff Writer The Inter-Faith Council of Chapel Hill is celebrating its 25th anniversary of service to the community. To continue this service, the group is looking for more volunteers. Since 1963, the IFC has combined the efforts of volunteers and dedi cated leaders to give help to the needy in the Orange County area. Dorothy "Dee" Kiester, vice pres ident of the volunteer program for the group, stated that the IFC is always in need of volunteers. Working in the office, interviewing people for volunteer placement, working in the shelter or the com munity kitchen or dedicating time on Saturdays are just some of the Seoator Bradley to speak at food -raiser for Price From staff reports Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey will take the stump to support fellow Democrat Rep. David Price at a $25-a-plate fund-raiser at the Chapel Hill Country Club on Oct. 12. The breakfast event will feature speeches by both Price and Bradley and will begin at 8 a.m., said Orange County Price campaign chairman Don Hartman. Vacancy from page 1 about making graduate students aware of the openings in the congress, Vanden Heuvel said. Buchenau agreed that there is a lack of communication between the congress and GPSF. "I think we're mutually responsible," he said. "We should have talked to Audrey about this but they (GPSF members) haven't been active in this area in the past. The blame lies on both sides." Buchenau said he would like to see the graduate representatives inte grated with the GPSF, which offi cially represents all graduate students, to avoid the lack of graduate repre sentation in the future. The congress is taking several measures to expand student aware ness, Buchenau said. The congress published its first campus newsletter two weeks ago, outlining districts and giving information about the upcom ing elections. Riemann, however, cautioned that extensive congressional publicity may not be possible. "It would cost a lot of money to make the publicity available," he said. Since most of the congress' money comes from student fees, some may see the congress as engaging in excessive self-promotion.

"We had many complaints from both students and other fans," Bad dour said. "Although we got good feedback on the pictures themselves, these complaints were too numerous to ignore." The erouD will continue to meet and discuss possible solutions to the card-throwing problem, but they have not. yet proposed one. The Council Jim need of volunteers opportunities available, Kiester said. People need to meet only a few requirements to become volunteers, she said. "A person must have some knowl edge of the agency as a whole and have some preparation for the job," Kiester said. "In addition, volunteers must be dependable." She also said that some jobs could be done at home, including phone jobs and woodcutting. Cutting wood contributes to the IFC's weatherization project, which will make the homes of the needy "weather-tight," Kiester said. Audrey J. Layden, a member of the IFC Board of Directors, also stressed the need for volunteers. The programs of IFC will continue Hartman encouraged all interested voters to arrange ahead of time for reservations, as space is limited. Price campaign chairman Mike Davis said Monday, "David Price admires Senator Bradley very much. "We don't agree on all issues, but that doesn't mean you can't appre ciate their support." Davis described Bradley as one of 'Dreamgirls' tells musical story of Motown band By JESSICA YATES Staff Writer Do the names Florence Ballad, Mary Wilson and Diana Ross, col lectively known as the Supremes, ring any bells? Is Motown's music from the early 1960s your thing? If so, the hit. Broadway musical "Dreamgirls," presented by the Department of Dramatic Art at North Carolina Central University in Durham, should be on your list of must-see entertainment. "Dreamgirls," directed by Linda Kerr-Norflett, is a play based on the rise of a female vocal group loosely resembling the black glamour girls of the '60s, the Supremes. Kerr-Norflett wanted to bring a production to the community that would provide both entertainment and education. "The musical is about a period in music that's very special to me," she explains. "It gives a history of Motown, the 4doo-wops' and the soul singers, and all of this was part of my teenage years." Kerr-Norflett also feels that the music is unique in its relevance to Afro-American theater history. She notes that the sound is not that different from much of today's music. In The Store WW section will stay suspended for the rest of the year, Baddour said. Baddour also said the card section has been around for a long time, but that some years have been worse than others for the problem of throwing cards. "It's a liability issue for the athletic department," said Nate Watson, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon. The fraternity,1 along with the athletic department, is in charge of setting up the card section. "They are afraid that someone is going to get an eye poked out, which is obviously a concern of ours also." No injuries have been reported in the card section this. season. Watson also said his fraternity is being successful only if people "come together and share a common con cern for others," Layden said. "Approximately 25,000 meals were served last year in the community kitchen, about twenty persons per night are housed in the shelter, and there are thousands of people in the loan and grant program," she said. Before coming to the IFC in Chapel Hill, Layden had done inter national research on social concerns and how they were being solved. Layden said economic problems were evident, but that "things were not happening fast enough." "There fore, working with the Inter-Faith Council allowed her to get immediate results through her own efforts. In addition to being involved with the new leaders of the Democratic Party. Bradley, who first made a name for himself as a basketball star with Princeton University and the NBA's New York Knicks, was mentioned informally in the media this year as a possible vice presidential nominee. Some within the Democratic party rank Bradley as a likely future candidate for president. "The music still sounds similar, as though it is simply in a 'cross-over' stage." For those who are unfamiliar with drama at NCCU, the school has not only gained the support of the community, but it has produced many talented performers as well. "We regularly place in the top fifteen m the region at the American Col legiate Theater Festival," Kerr Norflett remarks. "And we have students who have been offered graduate scholarships through acting competitions. The cast is extremely talented. They can handle the mater ial quite well." Although local response is usually strong with popular musicals, NCCU drama has not faced as many finan cial problems as many theater depart ments do. "The Triangle Park Chap ters of The Links, Inc., a women's organization, has chosen drama at NCCU as their cultural project," she says. "They have given us over $20,000 in the past five years." Kerr-Norflett also stresses the importance of the performing expe rience to the students involved. "The production allows them to develop and utilize their talents, whether in drama, music, or dance," she explains. "It also gives the students the opportunity to prepare for the challenge of theater as a profession."

He said other schools have card sections without problems, and that he was sure the same could be true of UNC. "It's really disappointing for the 1,600 people who sit in the section including Carolina Fever, the fraternity, and other students," Watson said. "We just need some cooperation and well be able to bring it back." Yet some students admitted they would not really miss the card section.

Student enviironmenta sponsors By LACY CHURCHILL Staff Writer The Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) is sponsor ing a campus-wide recycling program that group members hope will make students more aware of the environment. Sonya Mumford, SEAC recycling coordinator, said the group has placed nine blue barrels around campus in order to collect as much aluminum as possible. Group members hope eventually to place 50 barrels throughout campus, she said. Most of the barrels are now in residence halls because that is where most aluminum is used by students. "The main focus of the program is to educate students on campus In a cast and staff of 26, there is a mixture of various performing arts majors, as well as some students who simply work in drama on the side. A few already perform professionally. "Dreamgirls" is not an exact history of the Supremes. "Some of the events that occurred are parallel, but some of their results are differ ent," Kerr-Norflett says. More impor tant than the comparison of the two groups, she believes, is the fact that "Dreamgirls" gives the audience a chance to see the ups and downs of growing up in the entertainment industry, and to see "people trying to hold on to themselves and still realize their dreams and aspirations." Cast members include Timisha Barnes, Charles Hyman, Pamela G. Jones, Lawrence Poole and Paula Nunn. The musical was choreo graphed by Chuck Davis, and the music direction is by Lisa McKiver. Dreamgirls opens Oct. 12 at the NCCU Theatre in the Farrison Newton Communications Building in Durham, at 8:15 p.m. Other show times are 8:15 on Oct. 13, 14 and 21 (the Oct. 14 show is for patrons contributing at least $50 only), and 3:15 p.m. on Oct. 15, 16, 22 and 23. Tickets are $7 in advance, and $8 at the door. Reservations can be made by calling 560-6242. news in Omnibus and Youth Fares to Scheduled Airlines!

SEAC members have emptied the barrels about once a week and have collected 250 pounds of aluminum so far, Mumford said. The aluminum is put in a trailer that holds 2,000 pounds of aluminum and the Reynolds Aluminum Com pany picks it up. SEAC gets 50 cents for each pound of aluminum. Donald Whittier, SEAC co chairman, said the money made from the project will first be used to pay off debts SEAC accumulated while starting the project. Later, it will be used to help fund future SEAC projects. The rest of the money will go back into the Campus Y, he said.
