Th DI?y Tiir H I Friday, October 25, 1874 scores Lab I by Rick Sefesk Steff Writer : Student directors in the UNC Lab Theatre have seldom dared to tackle important modern theatre classics, obligingly bending before the difficulties of casting, staging, and producing a work of genuine merit. Recent weeks, however, have seen productions of works by Shaw and Genet, and this week Gregory Hurst is presenting Henrik Ibsen's, Hedda Gabler, in the basement of Graham Memorial. With an admirable collection of acting talent, he has created an interesting spark of life and a captivating Lab presentation which merits both serious student attention and a.great deal of praise. Using Christopher Hampton's crisp and modern translation of the 1 890 play, and the usual Lab Show - minimum of stage paraphernalia. Hurst has managed to find a style and pace which permit a fresh approach to the work, and several extraordinarily fine performances result from this combination. , Donna Davis successfully presents many of the facets and inner reflections of the title character, which many consider to be an actress greatest challenge. Her Hedda is at times elegantly cool, naturally relaxed, skillfully intense, and consistently intriguing. Portraying a profoundly intricate woman, she provides the play with its necessary basic source of energy and tension. George Tesman, Hedda's husband and a fairly innocuous academic, is played by Jim Burleson, who takes full advantage of an often dull and easily discarded role. Burleson makes Tesman an appropriately weak contrast to Hedda, and he manages to find levels and moments which a less skillful actor might never have noticed. As always, Dallas Greer succeeds in capturing the magic spark of his character. EfS You are cordially invited to an informal reception for GORDON BALL honoring publication of his book ALLEN VERBATIM (McGraw-Hill) on Monday, October 28, T974 3 p.m.,. I at the ; ' Bull's Head Bookshop, Ms N sMs i and as Eilert Lovborg, he projects not only the potential genius of the man, but he manages to flash the bacchanalian gleam in the reformed man's eyes. The women in the play interact with a remarkable and vibrant vitality. Nancy Boykins is genuine and inspiring as Thea Ervsted, and her scenes with Hedda are tantalizingly electric. As George's Aunt Julia, Margot Corrigan produces an aged vigor which perfectly characterizes the role. The show is not completely faultless, but any errors or inconsistencies in the production have been compensated for by overall excellence and intriguing style. The magic and sparkle of this mounting, the high quality of these performances, and the impressive UNC directorial debut of Gregory Hurst make Hedda Gabler an intellectually stimulating high point in a consistently interesting and worthwhile season.

I " I ' - yi - X - i Becoming a physician is a tremendous satisfaction. x Let us give you the job satisfaction that should go with it. Whether you're still in medical school with the rigors of three to five years of graduate medical edu cation still to be faced, or are already a practicing physician, it's our opinion that the Air Force can offer both professional and personal satisfaction hard to duplicate in civilian life. An overstatement? Not if you consider the specifics. Take the problem of graduate medical educa tion. It's a period of your life the Air Force can make considerably easier with comfortable salary and liv ing conditions. Creature comforts aside, the Air Force offers professional advantages. Besides receiving training in your own specialty, you'd be in contact with physicians in all of the medical specialties. You'll function in an environment which is intellectually stimulating and professionally challenging. Not all physicians pursue post residency fellow ships. But if you are interested, the Air Force con ducts them both in-house and atcivilian institutions. The physician already in practice can look for ward to other things. If you want training in the practice of the medicine of the future, you'll find it in the Air Force. For example, there's emphasis on group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specialty of "family physician. Whatever your interest, there are few specialties which are not being practiced in today's Air Force. The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office. The physician commencing his practice in the Air Force does not. He finds his office established for him. Supplies and equipment readily available. He has many options available to him when treating patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force facilities via aeromedical evacuation. Last, but not least, are the satisfactions that come with having the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed appointment rate that is practically nil. Whether you are already a physician, or soon to become one, you might find it extremely interesting to find out what the Air Force has to offer. We think it could be a real eye-opener. If you'll mail in the cou pon, we'd be happy to send you detailed information. rAir Forcr Opportunities C-CM.IOJ IPO.
