All three groups utilized harmony and rhythm to such an extent that I could have sworn they were hiding a bass and snare behind the wall. The range and capability these performers had in their voices was unbelievable. They could improvise with whatever the particular song demanded. Tunes ranged from Juice Newton’s “Queen ofHearts” to Aretha Franklin’s “Respect.” Just when I thought there could be no more surprises, the THV came out with Dead Eye Dick’s “Mary Moe” and the crowd began to laugh. What made the concert a success was that the singers were able to pull in the audience. The performers were enjoying the afternoon as much as the concertgoers. Laughs filtered through the amphitheater due to humorous skits and to the show puses who were able to reach EAR through the World Wide Web on the Internet. Xabier Garaizar, a faculty member in the department of mathematics at N.C. State University, found EAR useful. “My use of Electronic Advising Re source was an inquiry in relation to the executive MBA program at UNC,” Garaizar said. EAR has raised the issue of whether it is really advising, which some people think should involve human interaction, or just an information source, Lowman said. He said he supported the electronic ad- COUNCIL FROM PAGE 3 families. In exchange, developers would receive a density bonus that would allow them to build more houses than usually permitted by zoning. The council will also ask legislators to propose a bill regulating the possession and consumption of alcohol in public. Chapel Hill already prohibits public drink ing; the new proposal also would prohibit possession of open containers of alcohol. “It’s the abuses that we’re worried about,” council member Pat Evans said. The council will also ask legislators to manship of each group. The Amalgamates from Boston performed a spoof from “A Few Good Men” that was very comical. It was obvious that these people were per formers who knew how to entertain. The collaboration brought together tal ented singers not only for enjoyment but also for a good cause. This became quite clear with the poignant singing of “Patch work Quilt,” a song that echoed the love behind a disease. THV will contribute half of all money made from the sale of its tapes and CDs from the show and all donations from the afternoon to AIDS research. Another concert will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday in South Building. THV’s spring concert will occur at 8 p.m. April 8 in 106 Carroll Hall.

"Advising is a very general term that includes information pertaining to individual cases,” he said. “EAR is not replacing face-to-face ad vising but is extending it given the medium (of e-mail).” Lowman said he did not give informa tion through e-mail that he thought should be given in person, however, such as in forming a student that he or she would not graduate on time. In these cases, Lowman said he instead told students whom they needed to see to get their questions answered. introduce a bill allowing the town to in crease the town’s motor-vehicle license from to sls. The council also voted to include gay, lesbian and bisexual people on the list of groups supported by the county’s civil rights ordinance.

Even putting on that toga for a frat party cuts it. But dress ing up your male friend as a rich old woman to get the girl of your dreams it just doesn’t do it. That’s what makes Play Makers Reper tory Company’s production of “Charley’s Aunt,” written by Brandon Thomas, such a trip. It’s truly a sight for sore eyes. By that I simply mean that the show is a welcome break from the redundancy of college life. Synonymous ALISON MAXWELL | Theater Review Charley's Aunt Play Makers Repertory Company with thespringweather, the humoris bright and lively. There is never a dull moment in the whole show. Set in St. Olde’s College in Oxford, the play presents the silly story of two buddies, Jack Chesney (Matthew Mabe) and Charles Wykeham (Thomas D. Carr), who are hopelessly in love with two young women, Kitty Verdun (Christine Suhr) and Amy Spettigue (Fiona Jones). Sounds quite simple, doesn’t it? The boys try to determine the best way to let the girls know their feelings and determine that a meeting in person, chaperoned by Charley’s aunt, would be the best bet. The two boys invite another college friend, Lord Fancourt Babberly (Eric Woodall), to the party, and thank good ness they do. Charley’s aunt cancels, and Lord Babberly, an aspiring actor, must pick up the slack. In other words, he be comes the focal point of the festivities as he is forced to impersonate Charley’s aunt. As Jack says, “a pious fraud is the first cousin to a miracle.” The girls are easily deceived, and thus the fun begins. To reveal any more of the plot would ruin the overall effect of the play if you haven’t already seen it... which I whole heartedly recommend you do. What you need to keep in mind though is that if you like subtlety and expect a straightforward conservative production, forget about liking this play. It’s a farce, and a well-done farce at that. It’s com pletely full of overacting and dramatiza tion, which is often expected in farcical productions. Combining theatrics, realism and fan tasy istheprimarygoalofa farce. “Charley’s Aunt” does exactly that. It mimics life in some aspects, creates a sort of dream world in some action, and presents wild and crazy antics between characters. The play was actually reminiscent of the type of humor seen in movies like “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” You can’t help but laugh no matter how dumb or outrageous it gets —and it did get pretty ridiculous. sfIKMBMfIH - : jSBnF w jfifl ■ KjfiiiHß n?

Carr and Eric Woodall. Mabe and Carr interacted as a Victorian-day Beavis and Butt-head duo. They were cool, suave and crazy. Perhaps some of the neatest scenes occur when the two release energy in the midst of tense situations. I would tend to say that Mabe held the production together with his outstanding ability to jump into a different personality every couple of minutes. I think the most impressive performance, however, was Woodall's. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. He really THURSDAY.

Not to say that he believably played Charley’s aunt and the audience thought he was a woman, but he enter tained and served to disconnect the audi encefromlifeasweknowit. “I’m Charley’s aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from,” he repeated several times. Boy was he a nut as he proceeded to do several not so-feminine acts, like spitting, smoking ci gars and lifting his skirt. Needless to say, he had the audience laughing hysterically. After the comedic acting, die set was the next best thing. Draped with a huge scroll that reads “Boys will be boys” in gigantic bold lettering, the stage combines numer ous elements, including stacks of colorful books, to create a sort of modem-day Vic torian era. The play is so rich with staccato conver sation and quick movements that anything less than ah exquisite set would be detri mental to the overall presentation. The snazzy music and lighting added to the play’s appeal. “Charley’s Aunt” will continue through April 2 with performances at 8 p.m. Tues day-Saturday and2p.m. Sunday.
