If you notice light fixtures that don’t work on campus report these to housing or the police department. • Lock your door- whenever you leave your room or home, regardless of the length of time. It only takes a few seconds for someone to enter and steal your valuables. Lock your room or apartment when you are asleep. • Do not allow entry into your building and don’t prop open doors. Report any suspicious persons to your residence hall advisors and/or campus police. Report suspicious activity off campus to the local police, call 911. • Do not loan your keys or onecard to anyone for access. Report lost /stolen cards or keys to campus police, the housing office, or local police immediately. • Never prop locked or latched doors. If you find one open, un-prop it.

Because the beneficiary is so close to home, Hamilton said he hopes there will be active participation. “It’s something here in Chapel Hill,” he said. “It’s really personal, and it’s almost more likely that people would give money.” The Service Awareness Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in Polk Place is meant to introduce seniors to the different service organiza tions on campus. The senior class along with campus organizations, such as Dance Marathon, SPROUT, Relay for Life, Sangam, Carolina Cancer Initiative and Life Takes Guts will be able to provide students with information about how they can volunteer their time. “It is very important to let the seniors know the different routes they can take to get involved,” said Bobby Whisnant, senior class president. “Our organization has to do with not only social events but also giving back to the community.” Bringing together the differ ent organizations on campus is Monday broadcast at 5 p.m. on channels 2, 25 and Time Warner 24.

Kristen Smith, chairwoman of the senior class communica tion/publicity committee, said she believes in the power of service to bring students together. “Service is unifying because everyone is coming in for a joint cause,” she said. Senior class philanthropy will not end this week. Some service projects planned in the near future are aiding Habitat for Humanity on Nov. 19 and the Ronald McDonald House on Dec. 3. “I think that it is really impor tant for seniors because a lot of us are going out in the real world,” Smith said. “It helps you get involved in your community and get out of the UNC bubble.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. policy among other things. ■ Overeaters Anonymous will hold a meeting from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. today at 300 E.

News Show strings viewers along an African safari BY MARTA OSTROWSKI STAFF WRITER Wild stunts, exuberant props and richly colored costumes are merely tips of the iceberg when describing “Tall Horse.” The Saturday night performance at Memorial Hall took viewers on a exhilarating ride not only through several continents, but also through several languages. The production is a collaboration between the Handspring Puppet Company of South Africa and Mali’s Sogolon Puppet Troupe. The play, which is spoken in English and African dialects, details the adventure of a giraffe named Sogo Jan, who travelled from Sudan to France. Although the acting was impec cable, even more amazing were the puppets used throughout the show. Forget Kermit the Frog or Miss Piggy because these puppets stood more than 15 feet tall and were draped with the most elaborate costumes one could imagine. Notably, the giant giraffe was the largest spectacle. Consisting of two actors on stilts, covered with a giraffe print tarp, the puppet was ■ A Durham man, 40, was arrested Saturday on charges of communicating threats and being drunk and disruptive, according to Chapel Hill police reports.

Franklin St. after approaching an officer who was attempting to direct a funeral procession, reports state.

With the fast-paced, loud and exciting nature of the play, there was no space for a dull moment. Pounding music, vivacious act ing and tantalizing language kept the audience on its toes from the beginning of the voyage to the end. Viewers often regard subtitles as an inconvenience and a nuisance. But in this case, the exotic languag es added such a profound effect that viewers didn’t mind glancing at a translation screen. Although the plot was a bit dif ficult to follow at times, the sheer magnitude of every detail in the play overpowered this confusion. Spouts of witty humor and sexu al innuendos also were sporadically placed, giving the performance a lively flare. This is not to mention the fast-paced gymnastics and dar ing leaps across the stage, made by both the puppets and the pup peteers which were nothing short of a riot. POLICE LOG Boulevard and Hillsborough Street was searched at 1:04 a.m. Sunday, according to reports. ■ A medical office was searched after officers responded to an alarm, Chapel Hill police reports state. Officers used narcotics dogs to search the office of Avalon Medical Group, 1001 S. Hamilton Road, after the front door was found not secure, according to reports. ■ A student from Yonkers, N.Y., was served with a warrant for assault inflicting bodily injury, Chapel Hill police reports state. Juan Albert Rivera, 27, drove to Chapel Hill from New York to be served with the felony warrant, according to reports. ■ A larceny was reported at Avalon Nightclub early Sunday, according to Chapel Hill police reports. latty Oar Mwl THEATER ifVIEW TALL HORSE HANDSPRING PUPPET COMPANY OF SOUTH AFRICA AND SOGOLON PUPPET TROUPE OF MALI SATURDAY The history behind “Tall Horse” is the glorification of one of Africa’s most beloved and enigmatic ani mals, the giraffe. It was once an animal only known in parts of Africa until the Pasha of Egypt, Mehemet Ali, sent a giraffe to the French King, Charles X, in 1827. It was said the French became so inspired by the animal that they began to duplicate everything in giraffe print from couture right down to the Eiffel Tower itself. This period of history became an inspi ration for the puppet show. To say the standing ovation at the end was any indication of the quality of the performance is sim ply an understatement. Contact the ACSE Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu. A man at the club was found to be in possession of a possibly stolen purse, valued at $lO, at 12:20 a.m., reports state. ■ A man reported Thursday that someone stole his parking permit from his unlocked car in the S-ll parking lot by the Smith Center, according to University police reports. The permit, valued at $301.82, was taken from the car between 12:30 p.m. and 2:52 p.m, reports state. ®ljf Hatty (Ear Urrl P.O. Box 3257, Chapel Hill, NC 27515 Ryan C.
