She Bailii (Ear Jirel SWEENEY TODD FROM PAGE 1 ‘Sweeney Todd’ in 1979 and is often recognized for his use of com plex polyphony in vocal parts. 1 love Sondheim, especially Sweeney Todd’ because the rich ness of his characters is just amaz ing,’ said Jon Todd, a UNC alum nus who plays Anthony. Todd, like many members of the cast, has had additional roles in the production behind the scenes. He assisted in the design of the set and helped build it on the Arts Center stage. “I have a lot invested in this show, and it means a lot to me because of that," Todd said. “There’s a lot of me in it, and I think there's a lot of everyone in this production.’ Both Mannette and Todd said the vision for Company Carolina's show varies greatly from what some productions of the musical, including last year’s film version, boast. “In the movie the entire support ing cast was cut out, and one of the most compelling things in the orig inal script is the interconnectivity of the whole cast," Mannette said. And it was interconnectivity that lent itself to some of Mannette's original blocking and set design for the production. Members of the ensemble are on stage throughout the entire show to reiterate Mannette’s idea that all of the characters are “dead, lost souls, telling the story as it happened in their pasts.’ Save the rustic-looking barber's chair, set pieces were constructed to be as minimal as possible, appear ing as mere skeletons of the places they represent. Biniam Tekola, a producer for Company Carolina, originally slat ed “Gypsy" to be the group's winter musical, but the show fell through when too few males auditioned. Tekola said he approached Mannette to direct an alternative production and has been involved in every r aspect of “Sweeney Todd" since. “(The winter production) has come a full 180 degrees from utter despair to utter elation," Tekola said. “The culmination will come on Friday, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we've accomplished on the final product."

Money from the campaign will go into strategic areas such as stu dent and faculty support, research, strategic initiatives, facilities and athletics. Goals set for each group were sur passed in February as the campaign passed the $2 billion mark. More than $419 million was raised to support faculty, creating 208 new endowed professorships. And the $345.2 million raised for students created 577 new schol arships and 196 new fellowships. UNC’s School of Pharmacy, the most recent beneficiary of the cam paign, received a $9 million pledge from a private donor and a matching pledge from a public foundation. “This is a very unique partner ship between the state, a donor and the University," said Bob Blouin, dean of the School of Pharmacy. “It's going to help the school and the University to be a national leader in cancer drug discovery." FUNDING FROM PAGE 1 SBOO for nonresidents, Carter gave passionate pleas for clarity on where the revenue will go. The only concrete plan is for 35 percent of all tuition dollars to be set aside for student aid and 7 percent for academic advising. The main chunk 5B percent goes to faculty' salaries. At the meeting Thursday, Carter questioned whether tuition is the best source for faculty' salaries, not ing that UNC-svstem President Erskine Bowles has been successful in securing funding in the past. “We have the world's best advo cate for faculty salaries," he said. Student leaders and trustees argued that this money will go fur ther for graduate students than for faculty. “It has the potential to do a huge amount of good," said Lauren Anderson, Graduate and Professional Student Federation T|,..

Rupee said the new campaign, which is set tentatively to begin an eight-year run in 2011, will be simi lar. And Moeser has suggested previ ously that the next campaign could be in the ballpark of $35 billion. Carolina North, UNC's proposed satellite research campus, likely wili be a part of the campaign, Rupee said, adding that there still will be a continued focus on sup porting faculty and students. The Office of University Development, Rupee said, prob ably will look at some of the flaws of Carolina Fust including the inability to meet the goals for certain groups, such as faculty salaries. “We'll sit down now and take a good look at what we've done in this past campaign and articulate some of the areas where we could have done something better and improve that," he said.

Support for graduate students is split into four main categories: ser vice stipends, non-service stipends, tuition support and need-based financial aid. Graduate students also can receive health insurance. Of the $l6B million that sup ported graduate students last year, 28 percent, or $47-3 million, went to research assistant fellowship and TA stipends. And although there has been progress with graduate student funding this year, such as the 30 new science and technology fel lowships, the long-term issue is security. Multiyear work is more enticing than a semester by-semester agreement, officials said. “The issue is whether the indi vidual student feels like he’s get ting a competitive package," trustee Nelson Schwab said.

Last Saturday a caravan of 16 UNC students left before the sun rose to arrive in the pouring rain at Manning Baptist Church, the home of Obama's Dillon headquarters. Organizer Dernond Drummer told the volunteers they would be phonebanking because of the rain. Freshman Claire Rane Boychuk said many of the nonsupporters she called had misconceptions about Obama, including the idea that he was Muslim. “These campaigns spread lies about him," she said. “If you tiptoe into it they say, ‘Well, 1 heard this.” Junior Mark Godfrey, the chief organizer of the trip, found cam paign literature highlighting Obama's Christian faith. “This is just nonsense," Godfrey said. “Like, he has to put out some thing that says, 'l’m not a Muslim.” Sudoku • By The Mepham Group R*® © 2007 The Mepham Group Distributee! by Tribune Media Services All rights reserved ii: mmmii 41 5 2 657 8 4 1 2 9 5 7 3 4 6 _B_ 4 2 713 1 ' 8 2 4 6 I 4| 7 lizSu O,| •Acoyigi I |(|l £ir" 7?*' , BT 4 *j* r Jif— , S3 a eAh sijh APlak A elssiifi<H 1 fWUI?

Most students finished calling everyone on their lists in less than two hours, and a group of four decided the rain wasn’t going to stop them from hitting the streets. UNC junior Chris Wall and sophomore Amy Leitner tromped through flooded streets and muddy yards until they had finished three neighborhoods. The pair consid ered going farther, but the rain didn't show any sign of letting up. “I’m chilled right down to the bone," Wall said. At the end of the day the stu dents hopped in their cars to drive back to Chapel Hill just as sleet like snow began to fall. “1 think we're all dead tired now," Leitner said.
