Famed Latin American writer to speak on literature toni By JAMES COBUN Staff Writer Internationally renowned novelist, critic and essayist Carlos Fuentes will speak on his literature tonight at 7:30 p.rri.'in Memorial Hall. "An Evening with Carlos Fuentes" will feature Fuentes reading excerpts from his works and speaking on how his works relate to other Latin American literature, said Sharon Mujica, administrative assistant in the Institute of Latin American Studies. The talk was originally scheduled to be given in Hanes Art Center Auditorium, but was moved to Memorial Hall because of the large response to the speech's announce ment, said Joan Blanchard, Carolina Union spokeswoman. Groups from Appalachian State University, Raleigh, Durham and Washington, D.C. have called to express interest in attending the lecture, Mujica said.

Approval of the appointments, which was temporarily blocked by Student Congress Speaker Gene Davis last week, was subject to an open forum in which students and committee members could question the candidates. No students attended. The candidates were chosen by Lewis from three recommendations presented by a selection committee composed of student government leaders. Lewis said choosing a vice president from among three strong candidates was a hard decision, but response, Mujica said. "We have not been able to bring any major Latin American writers of Fuentes' caliber, here before. He is a wonderful storyteller and a prolific writer." "We are lucky to have Fuentes speaking," said Gilbert Joseph, an associate professor of history. This is a very special and important event." Fuentes has received several awards and honors for his literary work, including Mexico's Xavier Villaurruthia Prize in 1975 and Alfonso Reyes Prize in 1979, and Venezuela's Romulo Gallegos Award in 1977. King Juan Carlos presented Fuentes with Spain's Miguel de Cervantes Prize this year. Fuentes has taught at universities around the world and served as Mexico's ambassador to France from 1974 to 1977, Mujica said. He is now the Robert Kennedy Professor of Latin American studies at Harvard University. Fuentes' latest book, "Myself With Others," a collection of essays, was published in English this year, Mujica Summer Employment Opportunity Jobs available with the UNC Physical Plant-Housing Support Paint Crew.

The resolution allows the town manager and town attorney to file for eminent domain proceedings. Greg Feller, Chapel Hill adminis trative assistant, said the council's decision means the town will attempt to acquire the land through court action or negotiations with the property owners. It is up to either the courts or negotiations between the parties involved to decide a fair price for the property. The town must prove the land is needed for public purposes. In a memorandum to the town council, Town Manager David Tay lor said the tract of land was needed to provide additional access and design flexibility for the proposed park and library. The property, located near Estes Drive and owned by Charles and Kozie Brooks and James Lilley, includes three dwellings. The owners of the land believe it is unnecessary for the town to acquire OECs lewis' choices for executive officers that he is confident in Andronaco's ability to fill the position. . "Joe has a strong sense of what Student Government should be," Lewis said. "He's got a strong sense of the big picture and the ability to articulate it." Andronaco's responsibilities as vice president will be to oversee all executive appointments and to fill in for Lewis when necessary, Lewis said. "In the event that I needed to be in two places at once, Joe would carry the authority of the Executive Branch and could give the report of Student Government." The demands on the time of the student body president have grown said. An opera based on one of Fuentes books will be opening soon in Mexico City, she said.. . , . , Fuentes takes a strong interest in U.S. and Latin American relations, Mujica said. "He is concerned with Mexico of the past and present. He knows a great deal about the tragic history of the two cultures in conflict." Fuentes is also concerned with Latin American governmental poli cies, Mujica said. "He is a spokesman of democratic rights. He wants people to be able to choose their own governments in their own way." Fuentes' books are useful to read in class because they show real people in Latin America encountering real problems, Joseph said. "Fuentes is a rare writer who captures Latin America for American readers." The Carolina Union's Human Relations Committee and the Insti tute of Latin American Studies are co-sponsoring the event. ght Local playwrights take ArtsCenter stage By RANDY BASINGER Staff Writer They may not be William Shake speare or Tennessee Williams, but the local playwrights presenting the latest series of plays at the ArtsCenter want to prove they can produce quality drama too.

"Without touching my property, there are two entrances to the library site," Charles Brooks said. "There are not many blacks who own land in Chapel Hill. If the town continues to acquire land, they (blacks) will own no land at all. The fact is the town ''does not need the land." If the town attempts to take the land, Brooks said he will contact the NAACP for assistance. "The primary reason I don't want to sell is because I bought the property as a future investment," Brooks said. "Also, the appraisals that the town came up with were much too low. The way the town has handled the situation has infuriated me, because they have refused to negotiate." Lilley, another resident who owns property the town wants, revealed similar concerns. "The property next door was appraised at $100,000," he said. "This other house only sits on half an acre and is half the size of mine. My house sits on approximately 2.63 acres. The people across the street were offered $150,000 for a house that is also smaller than mine." Chapel Hill hired out-of-state over the years, and the need for a vice president has been discussed since the 1968-69 student congress, said John Lomax, speaker pro tem. Until this past year, a suitable method of how to appoint a vice president had not been devised, Lewis said. Ideas such as having the student body president appoint a vice pres ident and having the vice president run on a campaign ticket with the president were dismissed as too political for an already political process, he said. Former SBP Kevin Martin initiated the idea of forming the selection committee to screen candi dates and then recommend its choices Performances aim at cross-cultural misconceptions By BRENDA CAMPBELL Staff Writer "Understanding through Enter tainment," a Race Relations Week program, is designed to help break through cultural misunderstand ings held by some students at UNC, said Alex Hodges, program coordinator. The program, which will be held in the Union auditorium at 8 p.m. Wednesday, will include perfor mances by the Carolina Indian Circle, Ebony Readers, Loreleis, and the BSM gospel choir. "The idea of the program 'Understanding through Enter tainment' fit in with race relations as one of the problems at UNC," Hodges said. "The problems are not just with blacks and whites," he said, "but with all different ethnic back grounds and cultures. There is no place for students to interact with each other." New Plays Rising of the ArtsCen ter is presenting a showcase of regional playwrights, billed as the Festival of One-Acts, on April 13-15 and April 20-22. The plays, "Wooden Horses" by UNC graduate Derrick Ivey and "Return to Eden" by Karyn Traut, will be performed at the ArtsCenter April 13, 15 and 20. Two other plays will be performed April 14, 21 and 22. Chapel Hill resident Isabella Davis will present her play, "A Young Man of Promise," as will Cary native Doris Garlich, writer of "Change of Heart." Countless topics, such as male female relationships, dreams and the subconscious, parenting and love, are explored in Ivey's "Wooden Horses." Traut, who is also known for her play "Saturdays Children," examines the life of a woman in her 40s who is haunted by dreams of a strange The Development Group 942-7475 appraisers to determine the value of the property. One of the reasons these appraisers were chosen is because they are certified to appraise land anywhere, Lilley said. "Even though these people are supposed to be the cream of the crop, the town should have used Chapel Hill appraisers who are aware of the town's market," he said. In other business at Monday's town council meeting, a video pres entation was made concerning a project that helps underprivileged Chapel Hill residents find affordable housing. "I think it is ironic that a presen tation was made explaining how hard it is to find affordable housing in Chapel Hill the same night the council talked about acquiring our land," Lilley said. "I think the program is Parking preregistration for 1 989-90 continues I From staff reports permits at the Security Services - The Department of Transportation Building during the month of April. and Parking Services is holding Valid vehicle registration is- preregistration for 1989-90 parking required. - to the student body president. The process of choosing the can didates is working well and makes student government appointments accountable to the Student Congress and the student body, Bibbs said. Andronaco's experience in work ing with the administrations of former presidents Kevin Martin and Brian Bailey, as well as his involve ment with committees that work with the University administration are strong qualities he brings to the office, Andronaco said. An important role as a student government representative is to stay in touch with the students, Andron aco said. Race Relations Week! One problem with interaction between races is the lack of understanding about different cultures, Hodges said. "If you don't understand the different races it really makes you reluctant to go out and meet people." The program will provide a unique opportunity for the per formers to work together and create a unique social environ ment, he said. "It will be unique for the performers themselves to perform with each other and share their talents. -We are also hoping to attract Civerse students in the audience, and to create a social environment that promotes interaction." The program will have six acts and will last about an hour and a half, Hodges said. paradise in "Return to Eden." Light comedy is featured in the second pair of plays. Davis'" A Young Man of Promise" is about a woman who is comforted by two friends after the death of her husband. In "Change of Heart," Garlich. shows the value of love and marriage through the story of an aging couple. New Plays Rising was founded in June 1986 to provide a forum where playwrights could present their work. In the past three years, the organ ization has presented more than 25 staged readings and new plays in concert. "We are always looking for new material in this group," said Julie Tomkavick, coordinator1 of New Plays Rising. She said the organiza tion gets together once a week to discuss new material. It holds public readings four times a year and presents a full production annually. Last April the group produced Kate Rindfleisch's "Partial Loss," along with Tomkavick's "Beatitude."

Brooks also voiced concerns about the way the resolution was brought up at the town council meeting. The mayor didn t give the pro-; posal five seconds. I was watching the meeting on television, and I didn't s even hear what the mayor had to say.-, There was a lot of mumbling and then they moved to another item. ? , couldn't even tell if the proposal had:, passed," Brooks said. "Even though , I'm sure it did." ., Feller said the program was placed, on the consent agenda and there was no public comment. "We have been negotiating the purchase with Lilley and Brooks since February, 1988. There was nothing else to say." "It is a valuable role to bring to! students knowledge about what the. Executive Branch and the entire, Student Government does," Andron-; aco said. "In this way we can lessen apathy that we may be seeing now! or have seen in the past." Like Andronaco, Hooks has a lot ; of experience in the Executive; Branch, Lewis said. For the past year, ; Hooks has served as assistant to ; outgoing Student Body Treasurer; Felicia Mebane. - ; Earlier in the day, Nicole Comb- ton, a junior from Charlotte and Lewis' candidate for student body secretary, was approved by the Student Affairs Committee. breakon "To start off the program, an economics professor, William Darity, will play a few pieces on a harmonica," he said. "He will talk about blues music and the effect it has had on American culture." Hodges said in a separate act sophomore Hemamalini Moorthy will perform a classic Asian Indian dance. Between acts the Ebony Read ers will perform pieces focusing on racial unity, said Cheryl Grant, president of the Ebony Readers. "The pieces will deal with the positive aspects of race and cul ture, whether it be black, white, Indian or others." The program is free and open to everyone, Hodges said. "We are encouraging all people to feel free to come. This is an opportunity for everyone to learn about dif ferent cultures and have an enjoy able evening." I jo 0 The North Carolina Playwrights Fund recently recognized Rindfleisch for her script "Seafood." "We (the ArtsCenter) want to present new playwrights to the public," said Bett Wilson, commun ications coordinator for the ArtsCen ter. "We try to be supportive of new ; plays by using many new scripts."; Ivey got his start with New Plays Rising, and "Wooden Horses" was his , first script to be produced, Wilson said. ,v The ArtsCenter's executive direc tor, Aubrey Bowie, will make his, Triangle theater debut as the talk, show host in "Changes of Heart." .
