triigedy, will Iv [verfonned at

Jan. 27, by lire National
Players. This is the 45th
consecutive
sca.son of touring
for the troupe, who
are sponsored at
Mars Hill as a part
of the Culturefest
scries.
In 44 seasons
on the road, the
National Players
have given over
5,000
performances. For their
production of Romeo and
Juliet the producers have set
the play in the not-too-distant
future, in a societal context
where violence is
commonplace. The urban
setting for the play is a flexible
metaUic set evocative of a
monumental cage in which the
world of the play is enclosed.
The striking idea behind
this play is that it has become
the quintessential story of
younglove. Young lovers have
all felt that they have had to
overcome giant obstacles in
order to be together, and that
they would rather die than be
kept apart The language that
Shakes[varc gives his young
lovers Is so exquisite, allowing
them to sayjust what everyone
would say to a lover if only
everyone knew how. The
extraordinary thing about
Shakespeare’s stoiy however,
is that the problems are so very

Admission is:

large. Not only do Romeo and
Juliet’s parents disapprove of
their aJBfection, all of the
families of the Montaques and
the Capulets are on the

world reminiscent of today’s
savage streets, are trying to M
each other on the streets of
Verona.
After Romeo’s
banishment, the only way
Juliet, who is now betrothed,
can avoid being married to
someone else is to choose
death, and she is buried with

Mixed Feelings About New Dining Hall
By Rhonda Baity
Hilltop Staff Writer
A sigh of relief was heard
across the campus as studcnLs
returned frcHn their Christmas
b-eak to find the new Pittman
Dining Hall open and ready to
serve.
The evening of the new
dining haD not only brought a
great deal of excitement, it also
brought Jiome amfusion. As
with anything ikw, there has
been trouble Irxating different
items. This, among other things
has caused long lines. Although
the cafeteria has been
in
q^eraficMi for two weeks, the
kxig lines have not yet subsided.
Other complaints
whispered around the cafeteria
have been about the small
tables, which students say will
not hold all of their friends.
Others have also commented
that the high ceiling and bright
light doas not create the
friendly, cozy, at-case
atmosphere that the old
cafeteria had.
Many students have
remarked, thoi^ that they are
happy to finally he eatii^ in the
new cafeteria and are glad to .see
the modem facility on canpus.
Respionding to the long line
proHem, Mike Nagoka, Food
Service Director, offered a
solutioa He said the cafeteria Is
designed to allow students to
enter and then scatter to the type
of food they want,
providing studcnLs
easy access to the
salad bar, the grill,
the hot entrees, the
sandwich bar, the ice
cream bar, and the
soup Ixir. Niig()ka
said acliudly lliere
.should not lx; one
long line, but several short ones.
However, studcnLs say there
is no way the system can work.
Some have remarked that when
there arc fifty people all going for
the hot entrees, they auinot form
several short lines as Nagoka
suggests. One student said, ‘‘If
we do thaL then we have to
jump in front of scHneone. That
someone would not be too
happy with as.”
Survival Guide To Pittman
Nagoka suggested several helpfiJ hints to siuxival in tlie e;ifeteria:
1. Know what you want before entering the cafeteria.
2. Go directly to the line of your food choice.
3. Do not move the tables.
4. Plan your schedule around light times in the
cafeteria.
