2 Wednesday, November 15, 2000 Brothers' Promise Learning; Laughter The Flying Karamazov Brothers will bring juggling, science and comedy to UNC tonight with "L'Universe." By Aimee Wilson Staff Writer They’re not brothers and they’re not Russian. Nor are they just a children’s show. What the Flying Karamazov Brothers are exactly is subject to debate, though world-class entertainers should be some where in the definition. The Brothers will be performing their latest act, titled “L’Universe” (pro nounced Looneyverse), in Memorial Hall tonight at 8 p.m. The Flying Karamazov Brothers start- The University and Towns In Brief Car Hits Pedestrian, Victim Hospitalized At 5:34 p.m. Monday afternoon, a 10-year-old boy was hit by a vehicle on Weaver Dairy Road, near the Timberlyne Shopping Center. The vehicle was traveling east on Weaver Dairy Road during rush hour when it struck 10-year-old Eric Ramsey. Officials said the victim was crossing Weaver Dairy Road with two other boys when the collision occurred. Ramsey was transported to UNC Hospitals, where hospital spokeswoman IVs the one college souvenir you ll always treasure Buy it &V-., davidbucherphotoart.com an Officially Licensed Product O f\ Q 'i Q Q' ( Announces the \ Grand Opening of our newest store in (Highway 54 Bypass and W. Main St.) Thursday November 16, 2000 ed performing in San Francisco in 1973. They have since had six successful runs on Broadway, co-starred in the movie “The Jewel of the Nile,” and appeared on television shows like “Seinfeld,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Regis and Kathie Lee,” to name a few. “L’Universe” is a combination of jug gling, science and comedy in an orga nized improvisation. Jennifer Smith, the marketing coordi nator for the Carolina Union Activities Board, said that although the perfor mance is structured, much of it will be improvised. “They are very vague about their per formance,” Smith said. “You don’t know exacdy what they are going to do, which makes it myste rious.” What is known is that the show focus Karen Stinneford said he is still in criti cal condition. Jane Cousins, spokeswoman for the Chapel Hill Police Department said the other two boys were not harmed, and the accident was not a case of hit and run. Cousins also said all other informa tion about the accident would be released only after an accident report was completed, which she expects to be finished by Friday. UNC Academic Team Beats Rival Schools The Carolina Academic Team com peted at the University of Virginia last weekend, with one of its contingents claiming victory over numerous rivalry schools. The first team competed in Division II and beat UNC’s other team, University of Pittsburgh B and C teams, University of Virginia B team, Georgetown University A and B teams, Ohio State University A team, University of Maryland C team, Georg* University & City es on explaining the wonders and mys teries of the universe, although the Flying Karamazov Brothers’ methods of doing so are not exacdy conventional. For instance, the Brothers get on stage consultations from experts ranging from Galileo to Albert Einstein, juggle (virtually and in reality) and, during one part of the show, wear devices that allow them to adjust music by moving their bodies. “Personally, I think it will be the best show of die year,” Smith said. “Everyone is going to walk out with their jaw hitting the ground.” The act is produced in conjunction with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab. The Media Lab provides the Brothers with the gear needed to create this high-tech extrava ganza. The performance was masterminded Washington University B team, Johns Hopkins University C team, University of Delaware B team, and Duke University B team. The academic team only lost a match to the University of Maryland’s B team. UNC’s second team had more diffi culty, leaving the competition 1-12.
