' 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 FOR THE RECORD Due to an error in composition, the Daily Tar Heel omitted the winners in the Delta Delta Delta Greek Variety Show from Friday's paper.

Franklin St. Next to Amber Alley 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 McCain, Democratic chairperson to speak Tuesday night in Union Betty McCain, chairperson of the North Carolina Democratic Party, will speak at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Room 202 of the Union.

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.
