eThe Daily Tar HeelMonday, February 13, 1989 ib y Haunting, complex drama unfolds in the Lab Theatre Tennessee Williams once wrote "that "the human animal is a cannibal V.m the worst way," and in none of fjjjis plays is this dark vision more .Xevident than "Suddenly Last "" Rummer," which opened this week- nd at Lab Theatre, 'v The play, which has the hypnotic if horrifying appeal of personal f- confession, is powerfully disturbing 'jdrama, exploring the emotional r "cannibalism of love and the self ' "cannibalism of art. It focuses on the f 'conflict between two women: young "J Catharine, who witnessed the horri T.,ble death of her cousin Sebastian last '."summer, and Violet Venable, Sebas- tion that manages to be both pathetic and admirable at the same time. Catharine, played by junior Jen nifer Stratman, stands in direct opposition to her aunt. Stratman captures the audience's attention from her first appearance on stage as a silent but strikingly beautiful figure seen through a far window. Throughout the play she remains a haunting, ethereal presence, like a child who is aware that she has somehow lost her innocence, but cannot understand, why. Sophomore Todd DeVries turns in an effective performance as the doctor who must decide whether or not Catharine is truly crazy enough to deserve a lobotomy. But in the middle of the conflict is Sebastian, who, although he never appears on stage, is perhaps the most compelling force in the play. Sebas tian is a frustrated poet whose life has become as empty as his note books. He finds his enjoyment in the exploitation of others until, inevita bly, his degeneration results in sudden, violent death. All of Tennessee Williams' bitter ness and remorse comes to the forefront in the character of Sebas tian. Williams, who was undergoing intensive psychoanalysis during the writing of "Suddenly Last Summer," is a master of poetic language,- and his disturbing images and heightened emotions create a hideous story that is all the more tragic because of Williams' own personal investment in it. It is to the Lab's credit that the production succeeds in walking the fine line of unrelenting tension without crossing over into self indulgence. The play runs for an hour and a half, without an intermission, and for that brief time, we are swept away into a darkly bizarre world of cor rupted beauty and unforgiven guilt. In the hands of director Andrew Edmonson and his cast, what could have become a confusing, meaning less exercise in the grotesque is instead a commendable production of a complex and thought-provoking play. Suddenly Last Summer will be presented at the Lab Theatre in Graham Memorial at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 13 and at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 14. Admission is free.

The UNC men's and women's track and field teams prepared for nationals by competing in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational on Saturday. Kim Austin and Mia Pollard had outstanding performances in the meet, as the Tar Heels qual ified for the NCAA meet in three different events. UNC head coach Dennis Crad dock was pleased, saying "We were running against teams from Southern California, Nevada-Las Vegas and Kansas which we usually don't see during the season. Running today gave us an idea of what to expect in the national meet." Austin qualified for nationals in the 55-meter high hurdles and the triple jump. She won the triple jump with a 417" leap and took third place in the hurdles with a time of 7.82. The UNC women's two-mile relay team also qualified with a first place finish, coming in at 8:48.10.

Unfortunately for Radford, the UNC gymnastics team possessed, all three this weekend. Sunday afternoon, a rejuvenated UNC team rolled over the Highland ers en route to a 180.8 to 172.55 victory in Carmichael Auditorium. The win moves the Tar Heels to 2-4 on the season a record which UNC coach Derek Galvin said is not indicative of the team's abilities. "At this point in the season I had seen our record, at worst, 4-2," Galvin said. "Instead, we're 2-4. We're better than our record indicates." The Tar Heels started the meet with a solid 44.75 in the vault. Senior captain Kristin Bilotta's well executed performance netted her third place with an 8.95. Freshman superstar Angie Den kins followed with a beautiful, powerful, event-winning 9.6 score. Radford's Jennifer Herpok took second place with a 9.0. The Tar Heels performed fairly well in the next event, the uneven bars, but seemed to lose some of their intensity. As Galvin said, "I was a little concerned because we began to lose the zip and enthusiasm, and our bars had not been that strong the last couple of meets." Femcers By JAY REED V Assistant Sports Editor En Garde. When you think of fencing, what do you picture in your head? Is it a Three Musketeers movie or maybe that play in high school in which one person forgot his sword and had to use a broom stick in a duel to the death? Fencing is instead a vision of individual competition pitting man against man or woman against woman. Saturday in Fetzer Gymnasium, the North Carolina women's and men's fencing teams hosted their only home meet of the year-long season. Both emerged without a scratch. The dual meet matched the Tar Heel women against Wofford, N.C. State and James Madison, while the men faced Wofford and N.C. State. A day-long event, the meet began on a good note for UNC when both squads faced a much less experienced Wofford College club team. The men cruised to victory by winning foil 8 1, epee 7-2 and sabre 6-3 for a 14 1 victory score and a 21-6 overall tally.

Denkins once again outdistanced the compe tition with a dismount that capped an event-winning 9.65 routine. Inconsistency marred the High landers' efforts on the bars as three gymnasts scored below 8.36. Bowery contributed a power-laden 9.05 routine that was good for third place in the event. UNC then proceeded to the bal ance beam, the event which has been the team's Achilles' heel all season. The beam soon became their friend, as UNC turned in an excellent 45.25 total. Bilotta took fourth place with a 9.0, and sophomore Carrie Suto turned in an outstanding, second-place 9.4 routine. Said Galvin of Suto: "I was particularly pleased with her perfor mance on the beam." Oh yeah, Denkins did well too. Beginning with an awe-inspiring mount which left the crowd gasping for air and continuing through her powerful dismount, Denkins' domi nant routine resulted in an event winning 9.7. Radford's woes continued on the beam as only one Highlander gymnast scored higher than 8.5. Bowery scored a 9.1 for third place in both the event and the all-around competition. 5-0 over a 9-1 victory and 15-1 overall score. 1 In the later matches, the Tar Heels fared just as well, downing N.C. State (9-3, 12-4 for the women and 14-9, 16-11 for the men) and the women crushing James Madison 9-0 and 12 4. Individually, UNC excelled, plac ing three women in the undefeated ranks on the afternoon. Senior co captain Alicia Foster, senior Kelly Williams and freshman Lisa Campi all finished with identical 6-0 marks for the day while senior Ashley Grabs led the squad with a 7-1 mark. Paul LeBlanc and Scott Bowman finished the day- undefeated with respective 4-0 and 3-0 records in sabre. In epee, Farquhar and Ravi Sawheny had identical 3-1 marks. "Fence!" cried the director, the fencing equivilant for the referee. Upon that command, two compet itors clad in medieval garb of white armor and mask attack one another while restrained by the 16 meter by two meter fencer's strip. The action lasts from a matter of seconds to nearly a minute in which the com petitors are trying . to "kill" one another. help wanted DO YOU HAVE CHILD CARE EXPE RIENCE?

Radford By the time the floor exercise rolled around, it was clear that the Tar Heels had all but won the meet, and the UNC gymnasts were beginning to have fun. Bilotta, who has been on a roll the last couple of meets, capped an outstanding day with a smile and a 9.15 in the floor exercise to cop second place in the all-around. Sigler turned in a dynamic 9.15 routine to tie Bilotta for second in the event. Despite suffering from a sinus illness which upsets her sense of balance, Sigler managed a solid overall performance. The meet finished with yet another amazing performance by Denkins. The crowd-wowing freshman phe nom turned in a floor routine which showcased her athletic ability as well as the certain intangible something that makes her such a dynamic performer. The result? A 9.75, and a tie of her own school record in the all-around competition. UNC, having survived a grueling schedule of three meets in nine days, now has a two-week layoff which Galvin hopes will help heal the Tar Heels ills. In the upcoming weeks, they will continue to work on their goal of reaching the NCAA tourna ment. With both Bilotta and Denkins performing well, that goal just might be in sight. P. weenceoci The different weapons used in fencing reflect the variety of objec tives that the spectators (beginning with the monarchs of pre Renaissance Europe) wished to observe. Foil is the most common weapon since the 'men: use it and it is the only weapon used by women on the collegiate level. A successful hit can only be made to the torso area. "All the good men were getting killed off (using foil techniques), so the kings changed the rules so just drawing blood counted," said senior epee specialist Sawheny. So, epee was started. A hit is scored in epee when any part of the body is struck by the weapon. Epee is a much more tech nical weapon than the others since the object is to hit but not be hit. Finally, in sabre, the object is to make a successful hit on your oppo nent while maintaining the aggression advantage. This is derived from medieval times in which knights on horseback would charge and try to slash one another. Today there are no horses, but there is much charging and slashing.
