The costumes, music and lighting are geared to stress the body, its physical beauty and the versatility of the dancers." The focus of praise is the Polish Mime Ballet Theatre, a dance mime troupe which comes to Chapel Hill on Sunday, Feb. 4. sponsored by the Chapel Hill Concert Series and the Carolina Union, the company will appear at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall. Tickets sell for $1.50 and are available at the Carolina Union Information Desk. Mime in movement, ballet in training, theatre in impact the Polish Mime has been hailed as one of the most exciting and sensual of the lively arts. Formed in 1955 by Polish actor and The Money Lady 1000 checks per day by Kevin McCarthy Feature Writer Wherever she goes, whether it's to East Gate Shopping Center, the Golden West restaurant, or the beach, she inevitably bumps into someone who says, "Hi. You're the money lady, aren't you?" The "money lady" is also known as Beth Dodge. In case the name isn't familiar, she's the small, silver-haired woman with the big smile who crouches behind the check-cashing desk in the Student Stores. Mrs. Dodge has been cashing checks there for four years now and from the big, bright, "Hi. How are you?" that she gives to each student, it's easy to tell that she loves it "I'm going to work here until I retire," she says, "And I'm not going to tell you how long that is from now." She will give you a clue, though she's a grandmother. Except for two fifteen minute breaks where an assistant takes over for her, Beth Dodge runs the whole check-cashing show. She averages 1 000 checks per day, "and she has cashed "1400 1600 "on football weekends and before holidays. "After 1400 checks, I've had it," she says with a laugh.

Franklin St. PAGE'S Xmk& I-7 3 967-2271 dancer Henryk Tomaszewski, the Company was part of a wave of cultural innovations in Poland. The 22-m ember company met with immediate success and appeared in numerous arts festivals, winning a gold medal at a 1957 Moscow international competition. The avant-garde troupe specializes in a kind of "language of movement," an effect produced by movement, images, light and sound. Besides pantomime, the company has incorporated elements of modern dance, gymnastics and ritual in its performances. The Polish Mime has appeared in numerous forums, including the Edinburgh Festival, the Autumn Festival in Berlin and the London Festival. Its most recent tour appearance at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London met with rave reviews for its "outstanding work in a superb performance." checks with her left. When a big line begins to form in the hallway in front of her, (usually on Mondays and Fridays, the busiest days), she stands up, lets her nylons fall to her ankles (to alleviate pressure on her legs), and digs into her work. Born in Mendota, Illinois, she lived most of her life in the Akron area of Ohio, where she attended business college. After graduation, she started as a secretary for a small architectural firm where she did everything from filing to figuring out income tax returns. Then she moved south. After four years of doing political, church and social work in the community, . she started in Accounts Payable for the University. Soon thereafter, she replaced the original check cashier who left the job. At that time she worked at Student Stores in the Old Y building where it was broiling in the summer and so freezing in the winter that she had to have a small, portable heater next to her feet to keep herself warm. Then, about four years ago, the check-cashing ' service placed her in the new Student Stores building, where she has been ever since. What does she like most about her job? "Above all, I like the students," she says, "They're a swell bunch of kids, and that's I'MTKtfNSTOOKSANlZE A TESTIMONIAL PlNNK FOR CHARLIE 5RO0N... uJoulp wu ee intersi?

If I give out too much money, the students almost always tell me; most of them won't even touch the money when they see it isn't the correct amount." She has had students take her out to dinner or to the theatre. "I often get letters and telephone calls from students, thanking me for a big smile and a pleasant outlook," she says. Mrs. Dodge has somewhat of a unique opportunity in that she can watch students change and mature over their college years. "Freshman come in here, timid, and shy, their hair cut short," she says. "I love to watch them change. Soon, they begin to let their hair grow out, they get bigger and more mature looking, and by the time I see them leave, they're practically adults," she says. Beth Dodge considers her job fun. 'There's always a lot of action going on around here," she comments. She especially awaits the opportunity to tell her favorite joke. "Students will come in and ask if they could have a dollar's worth of silver. I always say 'No, but you can have a dollar's worth of coins.'" If you see Beth Dodge walking around the campus or in town, don't be surprised. "I really do have legs," she says, "even though they're always hidden behind the counter."
