EPC suggests retention
of present pass-fail option
The Educational Policy Committee
recommended Friday that the pass-fail
option continue unchanged, concluding
that it served an educationally valid
purpose.
The committee's decision on the
option came after a five-month study
recommended by E. Maynard Adams,
chairperson of the faculty and the
Faculty Council.
, During EPC hearings, however, some
faculty members expressed concern that
a large number of pass-fail courses
might have a negative effect on an
individual's prospects for graduate
school admission or job placement. The
committee found that in at least one
instance, a pass-fail student was
evaluated using standards different
from those used for other students.
The committee found no evidence of
significant student misuse of the pass
fail option, and said that "it is generally
viewed favorably by faculty and

EPC recommended that the
Undergraduate . Bulletin include a
statement advising students to avoid the
pass-fail option in courses that might
prove relevant to plans for future
education or a career. The committee
also said faculty members should set the
same requirements and use the same
evaluation standards for pass-fail
students as for others.

A Lab Theatre Effort
'The Gingerbread Lady'
mediocre, yet worthwhile
By MARK SCANDLING
Arts Editor
The Carolina Playmakers' Lab Theatre
production of Neil Simon's The Gingerbread
Lady was doomed to mediocrity before
rehearsals ever began, and both Neil Simon,
the writer, and Linda O. Heard, the director
of the production, are equally at fault.
Simon can be blamed for writing a play
which wavers between a sentimental comedy
and an emotion-packed tragedy. Heard must
accept the blame for not deciding which way
she wanted to interpret the play.
These two failures result in a play which
changed drastically in tone and message
during the course of the evening. The
audience and the actors struggled through
the witless comedy of Act I before being
subjected to a series of emotional
breakdowns in the following acts. This
turnabout rendered the first act extraneous,
with the exception of a few bits of
exposition.
The final performance Saturday night,
presented in the intimate confines of the Lab
Theatre in the basement of Graham
Memorial, was far from being a highly
polished one, but it was far from being poor.
At times, the play was very appealing. These
times occurred during the serious, emotional
scenes. At other times, the play was very
boring. These bad times occurred during
what supposedly were humorous scenes.
The emotional part of the play concerned
the attempts of an alcoholic ex-nightclub
singer to piece her crumbling life back
together. Susan Karmel played Evy Meara,
the "gingerbread lady" trying to rediscover
her daughter Polly (Diana Riley) and her
friends Jimmy (Michael Davis) and Toby
(Jenny Lanier) while trying to forget her ex
lover Lou Tanner (Brian Hughes).
In the comic scenes, the characters were
the same, but the characterizations were not.
Evy is reduced to a drunken nymphomaniac,
Polly, to a street-wise 17-year-old. Jimmy
becomes a blatant homosexual and Toby is

little more than a self-infatuated beauty
queen. The humor in these scenes was as
unoriginal as the stereotyped characters.
It was during the second act that the play
came to life. Everyone gathered at Evy's
apartment to celebrate Toby's birthday. The
party turns into a soul-searching
confessional as Toby and Jimmy pour out
their problems and Evy pours out drink after
drink. Lanier captured the audience's feelings
in this scene, as she recounted the rise and
fall of her love life. She displayed a
convincing range of expressions, movements
and voice tones as she simultaneously
boasted and wept over her successes and
failures. Davis becomes less concerned
about acting like a homosexual and gives a
good, but overplayed, showing as a
frustrated and rejected actor. Karmel,
despite an inability to stay in character when
she was not speaking, did an adequate job in
portraying a woman who does not want to
get involved in anybody's problems but her
own. 1
The play fell down again in the final act,
mainly because the important scenes
between mother and daughter were not
convincing. Riley and Karmel did not seem
comfortable together on the stage; thus it
was hard to accept them as two people
emotionally dependent on each other. Riley
never conquered her nervousness, which was
accentuated by the intimacy of the theater,
and her role suffered as a result. This is a
problem that only experience can resolve,
and a four-night run does not provide much
time to gain experience.
All in all, the evening was not a waste, for,
at times, it was very easy to get caught up in
the emotional aspects of the play. On an
emotional leVel the play was better than
mediocre, but on the comic level it was
barely mediocre, yet just as Lou told Evy
that writing mediocre songs was better than
wasting music sheets, watching a mediocre
performance of The Gingerbread lady was a
lot better than sitting at home.
