" Samm-Art Williams, a tall, easy-going and friendly man, is North Carolina's most successful playwright since Paul Green. Williams, a native cf Durgaw, N.C.t is the author of Heme, which was nominated for the 1SC0 Tony Award for best play. . . Williams left Burgaw in 1553 to study at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryknd. In 1957 he started playwriting and the following year he moved to Philadelphia where he lived until he became affiliated with the Negro Ensemble Company in 1973. Home, William's tenth play, brought him fame. It is semi-autobiographical, the history of a North Carolina native who grows up on a farm and loses it when he's thrown into prison for refusing to go to Vietnam. After he is released, Cephus Miles, the Carolina native, "It's a very simple plot that deals with the displaced," Williams said about Home in a recent interview. "The play started as a poem about people at Christmas time going home on the bus." But it soon evolved into a play that Douglas Turner Ward, director of the Negro Ensemble Company, decid ed to produce off-Broadway in 1979. The play received enthusiastic reviews and soon moved to Broadway for a nine-month run. Mel Gussow, drama critic for The New York Times, said that Home "is a love letter to the land, to fanning as a way of life, to the farmer as a figure of some nobility. ... He (Williams) seems to have a tympanic tip to his pen; one can keep time to the rolling cascade of langu age, as in "catfish stew, corn fritters, potato pone, fresh , Williams is also a successful actor. He has appeared in a number of plays, among them the Negro Ensemble Company productions of First Breeze of Summer, No where to Run, Liberty Call, and Everyman. He has done some film work, appearing in Dressed To Kill and the upcoming Ragtime. And Williams has appeared in a number of commercials for such varied products as Old Milwaukee beer, Uniroyal Tires and Dr. Pepper. "Williams said he prefers writing to acting. "All play wrights should get a feel for acting. Eventually they do go hand-in-hand," he said. "I'm glad playwriting is fun. I find it immensely gra-' tifying to see characters come to life before your eyes as opposed to a novel where you never get to see people perform it." O rVScotl bfwp Scmm-Art Wlllisms, U.C.'s recent successful playwright' -hits home with his Tony award nominated play 'Horns' ijDQlice prepare , 4 fp(D lfHJ) 71 'II By MICHELLE CIIIUSTENBURY Staff Writer Chapel Hill town government officials and merchants are preparing for the pandemonium that will almost certainly break out this weekend and Monday even if the UNC bas ketball team does not win the NCAA championship. Celebrations followed the team's national championship in 1957 and near-championship in 1977. This year promises to be no different. "I will for certain be stocking up (on beer)," said Jim Caye of Party Beverage Company. "An awful lot get drunk when we win a bis game. Pecpb get charged up. And that's everybody, not just students.", ' But UNC Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Donald Eoulton did not have the news that students wanted to hear. "There is no way that classes will be cancelled if we win the (championship) game," Eoulton said. "Our academic schedule is set in stone as a necessity for accreditation. Even when there's practically a natural disaster you can be sure nru.t b? sick, th';fl C"""th?r sfpry, ' , '--' "One possible repercussion of winning the (title) game is that we may have to buy extra cases of toilet paper for dec orating the trees," Eoulton said. "Classes will still go on, but we can all still have fun." When UNC won the 1957 championship by defeating the University of Kansas in three overtimes, a festive after-the-game celebration on Franklin Street followed. The Saturday night was marked by an auto accident, three arrests, a huge bonfire and dancing in the streets. Franklin Street was crowded with students and townspeople within minutes of the conclusion of the game. One student climbed atop the post office corner stoplight, at the intersection of Franklin and Henderson streets, to lead the cheering crowd. Traffic on Franklin Street was held up for 20 minutes by the crowd. Cars were backed up for two blocks. 1 With that in mind, the Chapel Hill Police Department is making plans for this year. "We're making elaborate plans for establishing crowd control depending on what exactly takes place," Police Chief Herman Stone said. "Our plans are flexible. This weekend we will increase our manpower and will attempt to take care of things as they shift from location to location. "We'll have to sec.what occurs, and if necessary put our plans into action. Area hardware stores are anticipating an increase in sales Y',' ', W, 4 'V c DIM .My Hyliwrn Chapel Hillians predicted to be wild ... whether Tar Heels win or lose NCAA of Carolina blue paint this week. "We have seen no increase in sales yet, but if we win Satur day (semifinal game) I would imagine that we would sell more," said Ed Landrath of Sherwin-Williams Company. "Since we mix all our own paints, there will be plenty available." "We're going to do a lot of stocking up with beer for the weekend," said Rick Henderson of the Happy Store. "This past weekend we sold out of a lot of our popular brands. We're expecting a big blow-out this weekend. There will pro bably be a lot of celebrating this year win or lose." "We already have a few keg orders for 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning," Henderson said. "People want to be pre pared regardless of what time the game begins." "We will have extra beer in our produce cooler and extra stock in the back room for the weekend," said Richard Davis of Fowler's Food Store. "We had a tremendous sale of beer and wine the past weekend. Our keg business will be especially good if the weather is nice and if we win Saturday."

It in C : t mono patients will have ihebe symptoms, but they vary from person to person. "Over two-thirds of the cases don't have any symptoms," said Dr. James McCutchan, head of the clinical medical section of the Student Health Service. "Two people for every one who does know he has mono, have it but don't know it. So, there is no reason to put one person in isolation. It does not help to isolate people." McCutchan explained that the people who do not know they have mono are asymptomatic cases. These people go normally about their daily routines w ith out realizing they have mono because it does not affect them. Those who have asymptomatic cases, however, are just as contagious as the symptomatic cases. Although many students correlate cci- lege work and mono, "Going to school daes net make mono worse," McCutchan. said, "it will make you weaker, but it will not male you sicker. The outcome cf c-r.e's grades is net directly related to mono but on the student and whether he stays caught up." If patients exhibit physical symptoms of .mono, then an analysis of blood is run for the mono spot test. If there are a large number of atypical lymphocytes in the person!

The airway in the patient's throat can be shut off if the glands become too swollen. The patient's red blood cells or platelets can be destroyed. There can also be complications in the central nerg vous system, such as encephalitis (infla mation of the brain) and aseptic menin gitis. The spleen can also rupture. r "Over half of the people who get mono have an enlarged spleen," Scott said. "Occasionally, it gets so large that it will rupture, or one can fall on it and rupture it traumatical!)-. If one has severe abdomi nal pain with mono, he should get t5 the hospital." Scott explained that mono has a higher incidence among teenagers and college age students. He said several factors were involved, but the main one is that as peo ple grow older, they become more Immune to mono. See MONO on parj9 3 - Tl r-i Tl r urf )frr iLdDF dDttesu: on The Associated Press BYDGOSZCZ, Poland Solidarity called Tuesday for na tionwide strikes and Communist Party chief Stanislaw Kania said the union's appeal "cannot be interpreted otherwise than a call for self-annihilation." Solidarity said the strikes a two-hour warning strike Fri day and a general strike next Tuesday would take place un less the regime fired officials responsible for beating union activists in Bydgoszcz last week. Kania, in a speech broadcast by Warsaw radio, responded that Poland's "most dangerous economic crisis ... is coinciding with a deep political crisis." "How can one call for strikes in this situation?" he asked. "Who has the courage to make out of a local incident a national cause threatening catastrophe?" . Warsaw television quoted a Solidarity report as saying the general stike would be "a sit-in and will begin with the first shift." The call for a general strike revived fears of possible Soviet intervention to crush the independent union movement, and military maneuvers by Warsaw Pact nations continued in Poland and its neighbors. , V - Innhe'NetherLu; Jsc: a" -summit conference of $he European Common Market 1 again warned against any intervention. A closing declaration issued at the conference in Maastricht said Poland "has shown that she is capable of facing her internal problems herself and "should continue to do so in a peaceful manner and without outside interference. It is also in the interest of stability in Europe." ' Warsaw television and radio have been carrying reports of the military maneuvers that have included amphibious assaults by Soviet, Polish and East German troops on Poland's northwest Pomeranian coast and a paratroop drop and mock combat in the Warsaw military district. While the maneuvers have increased apprehension in Poland and the West, U.S. officials have noted that such exercises by the Warsaw Pact alliance are normal for this time of year. The Polish news agency PAP said Tuesday that about 12 per cent of the army reservists scheduled to join in the maneuvers were "released from taking part since their presence on the farms was regarded as essential.' That would involve several thousand reservists. The Common Market leaders linked their warning against intervention with a pledge to "continue their contribution to the recovery" of the Polish economy. They noted Polish wishes for extra food supplies and said market members should the wishes and determine their "participation in this action as a matter of urgency." British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington said the Poles need more than $1 billion to support them until July. Kania, in his speech at a meeting with agriculture officials, said Poland's current debt to the West was $27 billion and growing. vv V,-. . "Export is dropping because'tfcreasfps prodpciion, Thii diminishes possibilities to buy food and increases our debts,' he said. Mieczyslaw Rakowski, deputy premier in charge of union affairs, accused Solidarity's leaders of trying to become the "new owners" of this communist country. He made the charge as he prepared for critical negotiations with Solidarity chief Lech Walesa. Student Spotlight Tl C-7 wkh peopl lfT S LS. MEMOS Editors note: The UNC campus holds a wealth of diverse per sonalities involved in different interests that often go unnoticed. This is the first in a weekly series featuring a UNC student. By LYNN EARLEY Starf Writer If one word could describe Nick Manos it would be energy. Constantly devoting himself to several campus organizations, he manages to offer a smile to everyone he comes in contact with. Manos, a senoir history major from Atlanta, is most often seen near the Union Activities Board in the Carolina Union. He has served as the Performing Arts Committee Chairman since 1979 and speaks enthusiastically of his position. He said his love for the arts was fostered early as his father was a theatrical pro ducer and his mother a former ballerina. He is a devoted brother of the Chi Psi fraternity, a Morchead Scholar and a member of the International Soccer Club. He has served as a Teaching Assistant in a scuba diving class and parti cipated in the Campus Y Big Buddy Program. Working hard to budget his schedule, he also has excelled academically as a parti cipant in the honors program, f requently making the Dean's List. As his most recent achievement, Manos was awarded an Inde pendent Study Grant from the Chi Psi Educational Trust to help finance a trip he made in October to study the Los Angeles riots of 1965. "The whole idea behind the trust was to make funds available to active brothers to finance projects for furthering their educa tion," he said in a recent interview. The projects must be independent studies not connected with a particular class; grant recipients are required to submit to the Trust a report summarizing the results of their work, he said. 'There's a maximum of $700 available for travel expenses, he said, adding that he received $350, which covered his plane fare. The Trust has a limited budget at this time so the available funds are being spread out in an attempt to assist more brothers. Jadaaos traveled to Los Angeles to use sources of information ca the riots not available on the Last Coast. He said he would use the Information in April for an honors paper on the riots. Manos had exhausted the sources of data in this area when he did a project for a history class last spring. "Most of the research 1 went out for was supplemental research. ' "When I decided to turn the report I V;:-- JJ ' J had done into an honors project, I rlek Mjno wanted to do some primary research.' Manos said he Interviewed various riot authorities and inves tigated other sources. He spoke with Harold Horowitz, a mem ber of the Governor's Commission appointed to study the riots; Paul Bullock, a foremost authority on the riots, and Oscar Sco MANOS on paga 2 w Till Tl 9 l UJiLiLKJ By TERESA CURHY Staff V. ritrt Mono victims may get help'socn if the tests bdr.g run en a new drug turn cut positive. - ra!
