She said that although she had spent little time on cam pus before coming to college (only hanging out onFranklin Street, researching at Davis, and occasionally going to frat parties), be ing a student at the University was not as different as she thought it would be. “Friends who also grew up in Chapel Hill told me that being a student here would be like living in a completely differ ent world, but it is basically just the same place with different people,” she said. “I drive down the same streets, eat at the same restaurants and shop at the same grocery store. Of course, living in a dorm, meeting new people and knowing the cam pus has been new to me.” Junior Claire Vickery also said that liv ing in a college town gave her a unique living environment not common to most towns. “Growing up in Chapel Hill provided me with an atmosphere that you can’t find in other towns,” she said. “UNC brought together cultural and academic aspects for Chapel Hill.

If you take the buses you have to remember that they don’t run on a normal schedule when the school is shut down.” Freshman Angela DeVeaugh-Geiss also agreed that Chapel Hill was nonexistent when UNC closed. “The whole town is centered around the University,” she said. “In the summer it is completely dead around here. “I like being close to home. I am able to see my family often, as well as my friends that are still in high school. I’m also always around when my other college friends come home for breaks.” Minis also said going to college in her hometown had its advantages even though shewouldhavewelcomedagreaterchange. “The downside is that it hasn’t been a big change, but it is definitely nice to have access to my car and to eat a home-cooked meal whenever I want it.” learning experience.

Theatre comedy reminds viewers to think and act for themselves. A neurotic couple seeks professional help in the refreshing modem comedy “Beyond Therapy,” currently in produc tion at the Lab! Theatre. Written by Chris topher Durang, “Beyond Therapy” brings the audience into the personal lives of two extremely ‘unique’ characters. The play centers around two lonely thirty-some things who SOPHIE MILAM Theater Review "Beyond Therapy" have failed to follow the traditional col lege-job-marriagerouteoftheirpeers. Bruce (Wes Baker) finds himself confused about his sexuality and is searching for balance. In an attempt to swing back to the middle, away from his manic extremes, he places a personal ad in the paper, hoping to find someone who can keep him in line. Pru dence (Sabrina Speer), a fairly traditional woman who has no clue as to what she wants or how she feels, responds with hesitance to his ad. After a brief conversation at dinner, the two find themselves hurling epithets and water at one another and decide to call it off. Somehow, they meet again and decide to pursue the relationship after all. Each consults his/her respective therapist at his/ her weekly session, and we begin to see why Bruce and Prudence are as neurotic as they are. The pseudo-therapists have their own unique and distorted theories about therapy. Bruce’s therapist, Charlotte (Megan Martin), teaches him to act on instinct and release all emotions without concern for repercussions. Stuart (Jesse ORDINANCE FROM PAGE 1 ordinance was vague,” said Town Attor ney Ralph Karpinos. “We decided to seek a second opinion to confirm or not to confirm our legal opinions.” The request was made following Dis trict Court Judge Lowry Betts’ statement that he would drop any case involving the open-container law because the ordinance was too vague and unenforceable. “It didn’t define what a malt beverage was,” Betts said ina February interview. “It could be any thing from a malted beer to a chocolate malted milk shake. It did not even say what the alcohol content would have to be.” Betts said he would continue to throw these cases out of court until the Chapel Hill Town Council, which passed the law last Council member JOE CAPOWSKI said the Town Council would not rewrite the ordinance. summer, revised the ordinance and clearly defined its intent. Karpinos said he disagreed with Betts’ decision that the law was vague. Karpinos explained that the ordinance was based on illonday. Hpril 8 Zero Year Reunion 7:3opm ♦ George Watts Hill Alumni Gtr.

Eljp Daily (Tar Uppl Tampio), Prudence’s therapist, believes that his patient must learn to accept imperfec tion while succumbing to Stuart’s personal, hands-on sexual therapy. When all four meet at dinner along with Bob (Jason Lord), Bruce’s jealous former lover, and Andrew (Adam Winkel), a waiter who is also Bob’s new fling, the situation comes to a hysteri cal climax. “Beyond Therapy” is a poignant com edy in response to the recent upsurge of people in therapy. The fact that the thera pists are even more mental than their pa tients reminds us that everyone has his own set of problems and no one has all the answers. More importantly, by illustrating the dangers of blindly following others’ advice, the play reminds us that we must ultimately think and act for ourselves. The two patients allowed themselves to be come clay, shaped by the hands of their incompetent therapists, and so lost control over their minds. Not until the melodra matic dinner scene in the final act of the play do they begin to think for themselves again. Director Shelley Butler proved her com petency in this production. The lighting and music could not have been improved upon, andthesets, althoughsimple, showed obvious attention to detail. These together made the performance both smooth and believable. Wes Baker and Megan Martin were particularly outstanding in their perfor mances in a play that was an overall suc cess. It was their vitality and color that charmed the audience and their humor that distinguished them. Jason Lord also played a convincing Bob; it was unfortu nate that his character was not more promi nent in the play. The final performances of “Beyond Therapy” are Monday at 4 & 8 p.m. and Tuesday at 5 p.m. a state statute that defined a malt beverage as a liquid containing between 0.5 percent and 6 percent alcohol content. With the agreement of the attorney general’s office on the validity of the open container law, Karpinos said he saw no reason to change the ordinance. “The police attorney and I do not rec ommend there be any changes in the defin ing of the ordinance,” Karpinos said. “It’s not necessary to change; I don't think there is any constitutional reason to change the ordinance.” In light of the attorney general’s back ing, Chapel Hill Police Attorney Terri Gale said the police would not slow enforce mentofthelaw. “Wehavecontinued(since the case was dismissed) and will continue to enforce the open-container law*.” However, the letter also states that the attorney general’s opinion may not be per suasive in court, and future cases may continue to be thrown out. If this is the case, the letter recommends that “the ordi nance either be amended or that an appeal be taken from the next dismissal.” Council members and attorneys agree that the next step is to wait and see what happens in court. Town Council member Joe Capowski said the letter indicates that the town attorneys were correct. “I look at this as just a small legal detail, not a conceptual concept, ” Capowski said. “The next step is when a case is in court, make sure that the judge is aware of this.”
