Wednesday, December llr 1Qfi THE DAILY, TAR HEEL Pisre 3 UNC By JOHN REIMLER DTH Staff Writer It was fun, but a scary kind of fun, like when you were a child and your parents left you at home alone for the first time. The altimeter read 11,400 feet. The indicated airspeed needle tweaked 350. The captain sitting in the front seat of the military T-33 jet trainer put his hands palms-up against the roof of thecockpit. "All right," he says to me thru the intercom, "it's all yours." What the hell, man. You've never Ifown an airplane before. This is your chance. Don't back off. That captain wants you to fly this bird . . . Stick's light. Real easy. Instant reaction, like twisting the throttle on a race bike, but no sound, only floating movement. Rickenbacker, Boelke, Luke, Olds-they've all been here. Some scared; others, maybe not. I wonder how they felt. "We'll do some manuevers now," the captain says. "Just do what I tell you. I'll talk you ;thru them." He tells me to move the stick right. Gently, easy man. You got to take it easy with this thing. Right aileron up; left wing goes up. We're on our 1 right side now. "O.K., keep going." We're upside down. Look down, the morning brightness. Look up, the dark land form of the South Carolina flatlands. We're upside down. Yep, the 'sun's down there and the land's Mp, but no feeling. No blood rushing, no dizziness. Just hanging there, 11,000 feet up on a billion molecules of air. '' "The next instant I was over 'on my wing and nose performing a double-quick spin out of their range. All eight of 'them were on top of me firing as they followed my gyrations. Tracer bullets went whizzing past me every second and, try as I might, I could not select an 'opening that would permit me to slip through them with any hope of safety. The earth was DA11Y ACROSS 1.

At 85 knots he eased back and got the weight off the nose wheel. Scrub pine trees beside the long runway rushed by. The force of the acceleration pushing me back in the seat made it seem like riding in a super fast car. The plane hopped up into the air. "I've never been to Georgetown," I tell the captain. The engine whines. Myrtle Beach is in back of us. 50 feet off the deck-300 knot-we head south. Bathers look up. We're almost close enough to see the expression on their faces. Two of them wave and I wave back. MurrelFs Inlet from the air looks like card eight on the Rorschach ink blot test. Multi-shaped dark blobs are held together by the interwoven blue.

In addition to that, there's Emerald City in glow paint and black ultraviolet light ... A new approach to Judy Garland's MGM version. But it's still the same story that has been enchanting audiences of big and little kids for generations. This time it is being produced by the Carolina Union. It is John Haber's second experience at directing THE WIZARD OF OZ. The first time was with the Tanglewood Children's Theater in Asheville. With a cast of 65, though, this production has been a bigger, more demanding, endeavor. In the cast there are 29local children . from six to eleven years of. About half of these Munchkins are faculty kids. ; It doesn't take much imagination to envision a rehearsal scene attempting to teach 29 children to sing "Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead." Haber wears a slightly weary smile when he speaks of the Munchkin mob. "It takes a lot of patience," he says, with a smile which betrays gross understatement. But he is encouraged about the Munchkin's progress. So the Lullabye. League and the Lollypop Guild promise to be in perfect singing and dancing form by opening night.

Kemp, an expert on psychedelic effects, has offered advice and equipment The stage will be totally black except for the lightning effect of the strobe lights. A miniature house will be . rigged to move across the stage as if it were being tossed about in the storm. Sound effects will emulate roaring wind. The yellow brick road in the production runs from the back of Memorial Hall, down the aisle, over the orchestra pit, and onto the stage. ' Dorothy, played by Joyce Schilke, travels this road. Along the way she makes friends with the Scarecrow, (Pat Hurley) and the Tin Man (Roger Howell). Both actors are veteran Playmakers. Mark Smith, who plays the-timid Lion, appeared in". "The Thirteen Clocks" last year." For the poppy field scene, half the stage will be covered with thousands of artificial flowers attached to a ground cloth. It promises to be colorful Dorothy and her companions fall asleep in the field, but are awakened by snowfall-Ivory Snow, that is. The scene in the Throne Room of Emerald City has more trick effects. Glow paint will light up spider webs and Tibia, the skeleton, in black ultraviolet light. The magical journey conies to a close when Dorothy discovers that the Wizard, played by Jed Dietz, is a hoax.
