2 Friday, February 16,1996 Green Games Reward Recycling, Conservation BY DANA WIND STAFF WRITER New movies! New VCRs! SBOO dollars in prizes! And all this simply for recycling a few cans and taking short showers. Thanks to Green Games, students have a chance to be rewarded for their recycling and conser vation efforts. The Green Games competition takes {dace once a month. There are 10 “teams” on campus that compete, with each team consisting of 600 to 800 students from similar residence areas. The contest and prize money are spon sored by Student Environmental Action Coalition, the UNC Department of Hous ing and the UNC Physical Plant. The criteria for the competition includes recycling of newspapers, aluminum and glass of all colors, as well as conservation of water and energy. All dorms have recy cling bins. To keep the amount of energy conserved proportional, smaller dorms are grouped into one area while a larger dorm, such as Morrison, is a team by itself. ‘July’ Attempts to Find New Level of Self-Knowledge ■ The latest play of the Department of Dramatic Art features an ensemble cast. BY DEAN HAIR ARTS & DIVERSIONS EDITOR The Department of Dramatic Art will present Lanford Wilson’s comical “Fifth of July" today through Sunday. First presented in New York, “Fifth of July” concentrates on Ken Talley and his family and friends as they come together for Independence weekend in 1978 at the Talley farm in rural Missouri. The play is set on and around the porch of the form house where Ken, a legless Vietnam vet eran, and his lover, Jed, a horticulturist are visited by family and friends.

Each year from September to May the Physical Plant keeps track of energy and water conservation and recycling statistics information for each dorm. Rosenberg notifies the area director of the winning area, who in turn notifies the students on the team. The area governor then consults the students and decides upon a prize. Prizes can be worth up to SBOO and include such items as TVsand VCRs. Some times the residence area will be given a pizza or ice cream party. So far this year, the front-runner is the STOW (Spencer Triad/Old Well) area. STOW includes the dorms in the Spencer Triad as well as Old East and Old West. Matt Leggett, a junior from Greenville and area governor of STOW, said that STOW had won twice, once in September and again in January. The STOW residents were awarded a new VCR and 42 new movies for the first victory and were making a list of more “Fifth of July" is directed by Dede Corvinus, head of undergraduate studies in the Department of Dramatic Art and member of the resident acting company at Play Makers Repertory Company. The play focuses on the journey people take to know and accept themselves, Corvinus said. “Family members and friends, lovers, old and current, all come together that weekend,” Corvinus said. “It is a turning point in the lives of the characters; they are making major decisions about the course of their lives.” The main issue of the play is for the characters to accept themselves. “The char acters are dealing with having to find anew level of self-knowledge, a battle we all do our entire life,” she said. “Fifth of July” is a very realistic play, she said. “The characters enjoy each other; through a third time before we make (the results) official.” The Board must file the results before 7 p.m. today. Shuart said that because neither candi date received more than 50 percent of the votes cast in the CAA race, a run-off would take place, even if one candidate had a one or two vote edge over his opponent. “It’s not the number of votes, it’s the UNIVERSITY & CITY movies they wanted as rewards for their second triumph. Although STOW residents all contrib uted to the competition, the movies and VCRs will be kept in Spencer. Residents from Old East and Old West will be al lowed to check them out. However, Leggett said, “They generally don’t because the walk is so far. They can check movies out at the Mangum office, but it still isn’t really fair to them.” Leggett gave two plausible explanations for Spencer’s double victory. One, he said, is the fact that “it’s pretty much an all-girl area, and they’re generally more concerned with recycling than guys are.” Olivia Dejongh, a freshman from Chapel Hill who lives in Spencer, agreed with Leggett. “We try and recycle everything,” she said. “We don’t recycle because we get prizes. I didn’t even know we got anything for recycling until recently." Another reason Leggett gave for the victories was that hehadmadeallthe RHA presidents in his area very aware of Green Games. there is a great deal of love, tension, and irritation and natural messiness of every day life within ‘Fifth of July’,” Corvinus said. Corvinus hopes that the audience will take an honest look at themselves after seeing the play. “For me it is the ability to take an honest look at ourselves and accept our flaws and still be comfortable with who we are and base our decisions on an honest evaluation of ourselves —good and bad—rather than reflect an image as to what other people want us to be,” she said. “July” utilizes an ensemble cast as op posed to a play which focuses on one or two major characters. “There are very few two-person scenes, usually (there are) four to eight persons on stage at one time,” she said. Each character is critical to making the percentage, ” Shuart said. “Neither one has 50 percent.” All together, 3,176 votes were cast in the CAA race—meaning both Walsh and Nore garnered 49.3 percent. While Nore and Walsh were the only two candidates who declared their candidacies for CAA president, 21 other people received votes. All write-in candidates were disquali fied because they did not file financial statements, but Shuart said the votes cast for them could not be thrown out and must be included in tjhe total tally. “Every vote counts in the vote count,” she said. Unless there was another tie, a candidate would win the run-off, because the winner was chosen only on the number of votes received, Shuart said. “In the run offyou can write-in whoever you want, but the write-ins won’t count.” Ernest Wilkins (1894-1959) Ernest Wflldns was a lawyer and government official.

Kemba Nobles, a junior from Kinston and a resident of Morrison Residence Hall, said that she had heard of the contest and knew that her dorm had won this year, although she was not sure what prize they were awarded. Leggett stated that he has noticed more vandalism, such as the defacing ofbins, on South Campus, and that it seemed to him that the residents weren’t as interested in recycling and conserving. To win prizes and also help the earth, Rosenbetg gave the following tips. “Every body should try to take shorter, colder showers and shouldn’t leave the water run ning while shaving or brushing theirteeth.” Bulletin boards were recently put up in each dorm to educate people about the contest and about the importance of en ergy conservation and recycling. Recycling and conserving energy isn’t hard —and now there are two good rea sons to do it; it helps the earth, and it wins prizes! play work, she said. The most enjoyable aspect of directing the play was the fact that Corvinus was able to work so closely with the mostly undergraduate cast. “Because we are at a university, the primary experience is my work with the actors,” she said. “The cast did a great job and strongly supported each other through out the production.” Performances for “Fifth of July” will be held in the Playmakers Theatre on Cameron Avenue at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets for “July” are $7 and are available at the Paul Green Theatre box office. Beginning one hour before each performance, tickets may also be purchased at the Playmakers Theatre, provided seats are available.

SATURDAY 9 a.m. HAIRY STARS & SHOOTING STARS, Pipe in Haggis: Troupe Brings ‘Macbeth’ to UNC BY LILY THAYER STAFF WRITER Actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company and other major British theaters bring dramatic intrigue and innovation to UNC this week, culminating in the three performance run of “Macbeth,” which opened Thursday night at Hill Hall. The five classically trained actors in the UNC-based A Center for Theatre, Educa tion and Research (ACTER) touring com pany take on some 33 roles in this unusual, full-length production of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Gareth Armstrong plays the Scot tish thane Macbeth, in addition to more than four other supporting roles. Also tread ing the boards are Sarah Berger as Lady Macbeth; ACTER Associate Director Sam Dale, as Macduff and Duncan; Joanna Foster, as Malcolm and Lady Macduff; and Phillip Joseph as Banquo. But these performers’ skills go beyond their three to seven characters each in “Macbeth.” According to ACTER Gen eral Manager Cynthia Dessen, adjunct English instructor, they also step into the roles of adjunct professor, drama coach and community player. “They spend half a week here, giving one performance, doing some teaching and getting over their jet lag,” Dessen said. The actors on the tour change on a semester-by-semester basis. Fall 1995 saw a performance of “Romeo and Juliet” at Hill Hall, as well as a one-man production by ACTER Founding Director Patrick Stewart of “Star Trek: The Next Genera tion.” They are now in the midst of a week long residency on the UNC campus, which is the main focus of their tour. Armed with the literary and dramatic knowledge that comes with years of work ing in Shakespearian theater, the actors bring their experience and creative guid ance to a diversity of courses. “Theheartof this program therefore lies not in the per formed play but in the teaching,” accord “I worked all day Saturday starting at 10 a.m. and was finished about 24 hours later, asleep on the floor.” He expects to work about 50 to 60 hours for the week leading up to the opening of “Passion. ” But when the show finally does open, it will be time for Pryal and the others working behind the scenes to relax. “My favorite time are during the run, when you can really sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor,” said Pryal. “And there are a lot of parties then, too.” In addition to all of the technical work, Pryal is preparing to be the executive pro ducer fof Company Carolina’ s'spring show, “Six Degrees of Seperation.” Production duties, which he will share with Kelly Johnston, a senior from Raleigh, and Max Von Essen, a senior from Rockville Cen tre, N.Y., include sorting out any random President Dwight D.

Founded in 1976 by Professor Homer Swander of the University of Califomia- Santa Barbara, the early collaboration be tween the RSC and UC-Santa Barbara known as Actors in Residence evolved over 20 years into ACTER. After leaving UNC this spring, the actors will move to residencies and sold-out performances of “Macbeth” at the University ofNotre Dame and New Mexico State University. In 1994 when the group went looking for anew university home, Alan Dessen, a professor of Shakespeare in the UNC En glish department and a friend of Homer Swander, invited ACTER to move to UNC’s Greenlaw Hall. Encouraged by the great success of the troupe’s six previous residencies in Chapel Hill, Swander de cided to take Dessen up on his offer, Cynthia Dessen said. The group’s approach to Shakespeare is an attempt “to change the way Shakespeare is taught in the U. 5.,” accordingtopublicity materials. “Ourgoals are simple: to make exciting Shakespeare, performedby fine professional actors, avail able and affordable to American colleges and universities and to place such perfor mances in the context of an extraordinary, week-long teaching experience.” Be enlivened and entertained tonight and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Hill Hall.

They also do all they can to ensure that there will be a future for Company Caro lina. “We’re not at the point yet where we’re going to survive,” he said. Pryal said he hoped that there will be new talent to replace the older, graduating members. Pryal does not plan to pursue his talent in the future. He would rather run his own manufacturing company. “The theater is fine, but I’m not a pas sionate thespian,” he said. “I get my ex citement from seeing something this big come together, and its a good excuse to use the tools.” Too bad for the theater. Although the audience might not know that Pryal is there, they’ll know when he’s gone. The next year, Wilkins was named assistant sec retary of labor by President Eisenhower. The first Afro-American to be appointed to subcabinet post, he was chiefly concerned with international affairs. Wilkins left this position in 1958 and died the follow ing year.
