Bell said that although she was origi
nally hesitant to alter the bill that was so
strongly supported in Congress last
week, she feels the changes were neces
sary. “Honestly, the changes really are
valid,” she said. “These changes are just
cleaning up rough edges.”
Bell also said that the president’s veto
power encouraged her to work with
Matthews, although she vows that
Congress will not be forced to pass the
bill if they don’t agree with it.

“As speaker I represent Student
Congress, and we did pass that bill,” she
said. “But in the interest of compromise
and because Brad did have the veto
power, (I agreed to the changes).”

And Stephen Weiss, chairman of
Department of Computer Science, said
the ratings are accurate only in a broad
sense. “The one that is ranked number
one is certainly better than the one
ranked 50th,” Weiss said. “But it is next to
impossible to distinguish between schools
ranked at say number 22 and 23.”
But while Weiss said department
recruiting might benefit from high rank
ings, administrators in the department
don’t focus too much on improving the
rankings. “It’s nice to be ranked but we
don’t say, ‘What can we do to be ranked
higher in U.S. News & World Report?’”

'Arcadia' Captivates With Stellar Cast

“We also give dance lessons once a

the merengue,” D’Empaire said. “Most
of those couples are not Hispanic.”
In fact, many of the members in

The play’s language is quick, biting
and to the point, and Stoppard’s intri
cately woven fantasy is drenched in real
ism. Therein lies the difficult nature of
“Arcadia” - to give the work its full due
requires walking a thin line between its
realism and its subde fantasies.
Stoppard’s play could have easily been
a comedic disaster in the hands of amateur
theater. The script, written in a distincdy
British tongue with the driest humor and
the most caustic wit, would have present
ed itself as a challenge for the most expe
rienced veterans of theater. Also,
“Arcadia” is filled with roles that could be
interpreted as simply stock characters.
But Company Carolina’s perfor
mance steers well clear of dramatic dis
array, as director Ariel Watson’s pur
poseful vision has rightfully allowed
“A lot of our members, the ones
who are American, have maybe done
study abroad, dated someone Hispanic
or have grandparents that are
Hispanic,” she said.
Junior Aidil Polanco said this open
armed approach is designed to bring in
those who are hesitant to join.
“We don’t want people to think you
have to be Hispanic or Spanish-speak
ing to be a part of CHispA” she said.
While CHispA welcomes students
of other ethnicities, members also are
concerned about the low enrollment of
Hispanic students at UNC.
According to the Office of
Institutional Research fact books,
Hispanics make up 1.6 percent of the
total University population, a positive

the audience with its renditions of con

terization but find ways to showcase the
complexity of each character.
“Arcadia” succeeds on the merits of its
stellar cast Each performance is solid
throughout the play’s duration, displaying
a mastery of script and an intimate knowl
edge of character and nuance. Bonnie
Ayers’ portrayal of reserved scholar
Hannah Jarvis shines due to her witty
delivery and versatile facial expressions.
But the real star of Company
Carolina’s “Arcadia” is Brian Nichols.

blundering Bernard Nightingale, one of
the three scholars, Nichols is a comedic
delight, stealing his every scene with

D’Empaire said CHispA was an influ
ential force in starting anew Hispanic
recruitment program that began last
spring. “There is such a low percentage
of Hispanics here than compared to the
general population,” she said.
Polanco said the national increase in
Hispanics gives all the more reason to
educate the UNC population. “We want
UNC to be aware and to combat stereo
types about cultural programs,” she said.
D’Empaire also pointed out that
there are misconceptions about race
that should be disproved. “There is a
whole racial spectrum, and you can’t
classify Hispanics as being tan or dark

pose difficulty for the cast There are
moments, albeit few of them, where cast

times when the actors speak too quickly,
