The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, February 15, 19895 Puzzled about men? Get some answers campus Pouce Roundup By RANDY BASINGER Staff Writer . Why are men afraid of commitment? Why are men threatened by suc cessful women? Why do men have so few really close friendships with other men? Why do women give so many mixed messages? What do women really want? These are just a few of the per plexing questions that will be ans wered by Warren Farrell when he speaks on "Why Men Are the Way They Are" at 7 p.m. in Great Hall tonight. In the last 20 years, more than 100,000 men and women have par ticipated in Farrell's workshops exploring the complex and confusing interactions between the sexes. Far rell's book, "Why Men Are the Way They Are," examines where the sexual revolution has left today's man and how this social upheaval has affected male female relationships. The experts are calling it the most important book on this subject in years. Karen DeCrow, former president of the National Organization for Women, called the book "a revolu tionary understanding of equality, power, women and men. I loved this book." Farrell recommends the book to every woman who wants to under stand the man in her life, and to every man who wants to better understand himself. The book sheds new light on what it means to be male and female. Only through such under standing, according to Farrell, can men and women get down to the true business of living learning to love. Farrell teaches at the School of Medicine at the University of Cali fornia at San Diego. He has taught political science, psychology, sociol ogy, sexual politics and public admin istration at such prestigious schools as Georgetown University, Rutgers Martial arts group combines self-defense with philosophy By ADAM BERTOLETT Staff Writer TToining the Carolina Martial 1 1 Arts Club may not turn a stu jj dent into Bruce Lee, but it still may be a good move. The conditioning from the work outs and the lessons in self-discipline are just as important as the self defense techniques usually asso ciated with the martial arts, accord ing to club members. This club emphasizes self-discipline and the unity of the body arid the soul. ; Seong Soo Choi, a professor of physics at N.C, State University and a fifth-degree black belt in the mar tial arts, founded the club eight years ago. He teaches Kyokushinkai karate, which was founded by his uncle, Masutatsu Oyama. Kyoku shinkai karate is now the most pop ular martial arts form in the world, -i "Professor, Choi emphasizes the practical techniques of karate, the spiritual aspects and the manners," said David Coleman, a graduate stu dent at UNC who holds a black belt in martial arts. "He likes to stress the scientific aspects of the martial Campus Group Focus arts, to figure out why the tech niques work." The club has about 30 members ranging from beginners to black belts. Sessions last an hour and a half with members practicing exer cises in striking and blocking tech niques that rely on speed and preci sion. Members practice in unison some of the time, but they also split up according to ability and work on exercises suited to their particular skills. They also pair off to practice self-defense techniques. Choi teaches the martial arts as it would be taught in Korea, with an emphasis on philosophy, said Steve Hudson, a black belt in the martial arts. Non-violence, self-discipline and the improvement of the body and soul are major tenets of this philosophy. "The club teaches fighting tech niques, formal exercises and break ing techniques, but does not emphasize sporting techniques," Budget Coleman said. Some schools teach the martial arts more as a sport. "The ultimate goal of martial arts is to win against yourself, not against others," Choi said. In order to measure how far a member has improved, a colored belt test is given every two to three months. These tests last for about two hours and evaluate strength, form and accuracy of the move ments. Upon successfully completing a test, a member receives a different colored belt, which represents a higher level of skill in the martial arts. Anyone interested in joining the Carolina Martial Arts Club or just curious about the martial arts can come to the International Festival on Feb. 18 at the Great Hall in the Student Union. The club will dem onstrate some of the basic tech niques of martial arts, some self defense techniques and some break ing techniques between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. depending on the other activi ties in the festival. from page 1 and the California School of Profes sional Psychology. In 1965, President Johnson chose Farrell as one of the nation's out standing young educators. Farrell later received New York University's highest honor for his doctoral thesis on changing men's roles and behavior in response to women's roles. In his seminars, Farrell introduces the participants to an imaginative evening of role-reversal. Imagine men flattened up against the wall, swallowing visibly, as the women "cruised" them, intent only on "scor ing" for the night. The men hope not to be wallflowers, but cling desper ately to their virtue and reputations. The evening that is in store will provide the audience with answers to questions women want to know about men and men want to know about women. Through it all, Farrell promises to provide humorous enlightenment of male female rela tionships in the 1980s. in their use. A number of things need to be done to upgrade them." Adding air conditioning, altering the stages, adding dressing rooms and buying equipment such as props and curtains are some of the renovations under consideration, Jones said. Eubanks said, "In a period of tight resources, we need to utilize them efficiently." Although the University will not construct a new facility, the renova tions will keep the cultural activities in the central part of campus, he said. But there are problems-- "The real drawback is the parking," Eubanks said. But the parking situa tion at night, when most events will occur, is different from that during the day, he said. Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of student affairs, said he is very excited about the renovations. "I am so supportive of this new direction," he said. Ann Woodward, chairwoman of the music department, said, "The chancellor has made a very wise decision. The renovations of the three facilities are absolutely essential." She said she supports the addition Cradle of air conditioning, revision of seating and improvement of acoustics in Hill Hall. Also, she said she is hoping for additions to the music library in Hill Hall, which is ranked as one of the best in the nation. "That is absolutely crucial," she said. Milly Barranger, chairwoman of the drama department, said she thinks Playmakers Theatre would be more useful if it were air-conditioned. But she said she does not know enough about the rest of the chan cellor's proposal to comment further. from page 1 the appropriate square footage. "We pulled the general partners and the owner of the Cat's Cradle together and helped Frank go through the proper channels in order to open on a quick notice." j The Downtown Commission was involved until the club opened. "They needed very special treatment. The fire and building inspectors helped to speed up the process," Dibbert said. Cat's Cradle was founded in 1969 by Marcia Wilson. She had come to North Carolina looking for a place to open a nightclub. Bill Smith, now a chef at La Residence, joined Wilson shortly after the club opened. Wilson was killed in a car wreck about 10 years ago. "She came to Chapel Hill in hopes of opening a nightclub because she had lived in New York City and enjoyed going to the clubs in the West Village," Smith said. Heath bought the business in 1986. "I got involved in the club because I really enjoyed going there. I knew the owners were going to sell when the drinking age went up," Heath said. "I didn't want the Cradle to stay closed. I didn't have anything else to do and it was a challenge." Heath said he feels good about the future of the Cat's Cradle even though the current location is only temporary. "Right now I don't have a pros pective place," he said. "Locations have come open but I have been tied up in this place. Given more time I'm sure IH find a better location. "After the club closed, support really improved; I feel good about dealing with future landlords," he said. Thursday night a rap artist from Raleigh will open for The Veldt, and cover charge is $3. Cream of Soul, a Motown cover band, will play Friday night, and cover is $5. Chapter Two will open for Johnny Quest on Saturday night, with a cover charge of $4. The club opens each night at 9:30 and admits anyone over the age of 18. Cinemas syirvaving VCR invasion From Associated Press reports LAS VEGAS, Nev. Movie box office revenues hit a record $4.46 billion last year although theater attendance took a slight dip, the president of the Motion Picture Association of America told theater owners Tuesday. "In spite of competition for the eye and ear of the American consumer, in spite of an avalanche of visual options, the movie theater has not only refused to die, it has held firm," Jack Valenti told the opening session pf the SHOWEST convention. Theater admissions totaled 1.085 billion in 1988, Valenti said, the 12th consecutive year that attendance topped the billion mark. Attendance was down 0.03 percent, but revenues were up 5 percent, he said. . Valenti told theater owners they are in a "watching war," with 90 million TV households across America. "In the last 10 years, there has grown a veritable new nation with 49 million homes wired to cable, 37 million pay cable subscriptions and some 19 million homes capable of receiving pay-per-view," he said. "There are over 56 million VCR households, and one out of five has more than one VCR." But the movie industry has held firm, Valenti said. The United States recorded a per capita movie theater attendance mark of 4.4 last year, compared to Great Britain with 1.4, Canada at 2.8, France and West Germany with 1.9, and Italy at 1.6. Before his speech, Valenti told reporters the industry was making headway in the fight against film piracy. He said random checks found about 10 percent of the videos in stores were pirated, down from an estimated 25 percent a few years ago. "We're bringing it down to toler able levels," Valenti said. "We can never eliminate the problem." Valenti said the industry spends $25 million a year in the anti-piracy battle, a small fraction of the revenue the industry loses to pirates. He said at one time it lost $200 million a year to piracy in Japan alone. See something newsworthy?
