.1 Wednesday, February 9, 1933The Daily Tar Heel3 RHA lowers fund request to cover dormitory repairs By SARAH FRIDAY Special to the DTH Like Monopoly players moving around the board and collecting prizes with their Community Chest card, about 1 ,000 UNC students gathered downtown last Friday to help kick off the University's first Franklin Street Frolic. The event, sponsored by the Senior Class of '83, was deemed successful by almost everyone involved the senior class committee, students and most of the 19 par ticipating merchants. But the night. was not completely without its Chance cards many students were turned away from some bars and restaurants, and a few businesses ran out of food and patience. For the senior class, though, the Frolic was beneficial. "I think it went real well," said Scott Phillips, senior class president. "There were a couple of places that ran out of things. But we think the people who participated had a lot of fun, whether they were drinking or not." Frolic participants had about $3,500 to $5,000 worth of fun, because the senior class made approximately $5 profit .from each $10 ticket sold, said Greg Deener, a senior class marshal and one of the 40 committee members who worked on the project. The money will go for senior class projects such as par ties, a movie festival in the spring, and probably something right before graduation, Deener said. Most of the merchants participating in the Frolic said they probably would do so again in future Frolics, but did not think it brought in any extra business. . "We thought it was good for publicity," said Greg Bur chard of Time Out, which had to close early because the food ran out. "I think it was a good thing for the campus, but I don't think that the owner was too pleased when we ran out of chicken," Burchard said. Keith Dorrance, manager of Spanky's, had a different reaction to the Frolic, however. "I'm really not sure how good it was for advertisements," he said, adding that Spanky's may not participate again in future Frolics. But most students agreed that the Frolic was something they would like to see continue, perhaps with a few changes. One of the main complaints voiced was that too many of the businesses giving out food, such as Thell's Bakery and the Cookie Factory, closed early in the evening, leaving disappointed students hungry. And several of the bars just stopped giving out the beers, students said. "Henderson Street said they weren't even do ing it," said Asheboro sophomore Janet Stark. "And Troll's said they wouldn't give us any." For most students though, the Frolic was a good way to get together with some friends and help out the senior class. "It's like a happy hour, but you have to walk a long way for a refill," said junior Tony Sturino of Winston-Salem. Seniors warn Franklin Street for first 'Frolic' N ew Well: health resource center fills needs By CINDY IIAGA Staff Writer Students do not have to be sick to make use of the .Student Health Service. The New Well, a 1-year-old drop-in library, is located in the Health Education Suite of SHS. "Our philosophy is that you don't have to be sick to be better," said Lisa Battaglia, an SHS health educator who is in charge of the New Well. As a wellness resource center, the New Well serves the needs of students who are interested in learning about and improving their general health. "Information and referral is what the students get," said Karan Stamey, a UNC graduate who is the assistant health educator at the New Well. Stamey said that before UNC health edu cators organized the New Well, many students never made use of their prepaid student health services, because they never got sick. Now, she said, students do not have to get sick to get something for their health fees. Whether looking for information on nutri tion, contraception, stress management, alcohol, or exercise, students probably will find hat.the New Well.. Housed in a small second-floor room, its walls lined with a variety of medical journals, the New Well could very well be overlooked by most UNC students. So could the small gray file cabinet which is hidden away in a corner. But Stamey said students should not forget the file cabinet, since it contains the most up-to-date health information in pamphlet form. . "This is not just for people who want to make a really big change in their lives," Stamey said. Students interested in a health topic for any reason, or students doing research also are welcome to use the center's resources. Among the most important of the center's resources are six trained peer health educators who staff the New Well. These students are not necessarily majoring in a health field, Battaglia said:' However, they gam a broad understanding of wellness topics through taking HEED 120, a course which is a prerequisite to working in the New ' Well. Battaglia said a technical background was not necessary for the peer eduSators. She said, however, "I need to hear that? they have a really strong commitment to positive health." After taking the background course, students are required to take HEED 121, which is the ac tual field experience of working in the New Well. Peer health educators ae available to answer questions, help locate information and refer students to other sources of help or informa tion. They also conduct workshops. Examples of these are: Shaking Lightly, a workshop on salt; Subliminal Seduction, which discusses the effects media advertisements have on women's perception of themselves; and The Art of Friendly Massage. Wellness resource centers such as UNC's have begun to emerge all over the country, especially at large universities. Health educators now stress the importance of people being able to take bet ter care of their own health by teaching them to become self-responsible for their lifestyles. College is an influential time when students' attitudes and behaviors are shaped. Stamey said she hoped UNC's New Well would influence students by promoting positive health behaviors for the rest of their lives. By LIS3ETH LEVINE Staff Writer The Residence Hall Association is lowering its original $11,000 request to University housing for a transfer of dormitory enhancement funds from the repairs to the equipment category, RHA President Scott Templeton said at an RHA meeting Monday. The amount of the new request is as yet unde termined. Of the $5,000 the transfer would have left in repairs, $1,200 is already committed, said Mickey Sullivan, RHA adviser. In addition, costly equipment repairs that had not been counted on have surfaced in the last week, Templeton said. The transfer of funds was arranged to correct the $1,612 deficit in the equipment category, Carolyn Elfland, the housing department's associate director for business, said Friday. The deficit was attributed to the large amount of new kitchen equipment purchased this year including 18 to 20 microwave ovens in response to the new cooking 'policy in dormi tories, Jody Harpster, acting director of Univer sity housing, said Friday. Enhancement money, which is used to im prove dormitories, is divided into three categories: equipment, repairs and supplies, ' Elfland said. Each dormitory president or governor has $2 to spend on enhancement each semester for each dormitory resident, she said. Students pay the $2 fee in their room rent each semester. . - In the past, Harpster said the associate hous ing director would estimate the amount of enhancement requests for the following' year when he submitted the budget in January. ' - . 5 Ccctt Temptetcn He said the additional unexpected equipment purchases this year had thrown off the balance of the budget. Since the problem has not occurred previous ly, area governors were not informed of the division of categories, and assumed that their enhancement money was a single lump sum, Harpster said. Both Harpster and Templeton said they would work to get opinions from dormitory governors estimating purchases for the follow ing year in order to help prevent the situation from recurring. 'Lola9 brings colorful satire to screen By STEVE CARR Staff Writer The day Rainer Werner Fassbinder died, E. T. opened in the United States, and the Ger man director was ignored in a flurry of KT. publicity. There has never been a more caustic depiction of the motion picture world. Out of the injustice of the press's negligence in repor ting Fassbinder' s death came a sort of belated justice justice in the form of a masterpiece - called Lola. Lola may well be one of the best films of the decade. It is a subtle yet dazzling technical display in color and design. Rarely does a movie succeed in being both an allegory and a 'perceptive character study. Lola succeeds ex- ; quisitely. Fassbinder's major triumph is his ability to ", blend technical craftsmanship with bitter satire and still retain an artistic sensitivity to his I material. Colors saturate this movie. There; are, , cheap pinks, blazing blues, hellish reds. xYet i these colors complement Ihe wjbsJ&sat mosphere, the whole feeling of post-World Wax II Germany in its rebuilding stages. The put-upon bourgeoisie almost achieve cartoon status. Fassbinder has painted a portrait of a coun try, a people painfully trying to restore some semblance of honor amid widespread humilia tion. The portrait is drawn in the style of a melodramatic cartoon. An honest, honorable man takes a government post in a town that is totally corrupt. He is seduced by a prostitute who leads him to believe she is a member of a mysterious nobility. The plot, however, is of minor importance compared with the depth of each personality. Review The characters, each representing a different facet of Germany, take on a luster all their own. Lola is a cabaret singer who has embrac ed as many men as Germany had ideals. The corrupt contractor (played with saccharin arnjcability by Mario Adorf) is the jiewr -capitalist greed incarnate, while the genteel j; .vorjuJSohnv an idealistic building comjnis-S sioner, is a remnant of the old German aristocracy. Fassbinder rises above these card- Brazilian sex survey reveals women's sexual freedom on rise The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil A new study concludes that upper-class and lower-class Brazilian women are sexually frustrated while middle-class women still seek true love. It also suggests that Brazilian men are wor ried about an increasing sexual freedom among women, and that some of Brazil's best educated men are turning to homosexuality because of it. The findings in "Sexuality of the Brazilian Woman Her Body and Social Class," by Rose Marie Muraro, a well-known ferriinist author, has stirred controversy in some quarters. The work is more popularly known as the "Muraro Report" in the vein of the "Hite Report" in the United States. "The study can be applied to the rest of Latin America, because class structure, income concentration and macho domination are the "same as here," Ms. Muraro 52, said in an in terview. The book, financed by a $9,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation and another $9,000 from the Brazilian Education and Culture Ministry, took three years to research. It is causing controversy and argument among psychiatrists, feminists and just plain readers. Sexologist Martha Suplicy called the study "the most important research into sex ever undertaken in Brazil." But psychoanalysts Chaim Samuel Katz and Gregorio Barembhtt criticized the book as be ing too generalized. Katz, however, admitted it was "a basis for further study," while Barembhtt called it "an indispensable first step" toward sexual health in Brazil. "This is not a book on sexual technique," said Ms. Muraro, who had earlier works on sexuality and women's liberation temporarily banned under Brazil's conservative military regime. "The purpose is to show how sex varies with class and how sexual domination is . the basis of class domination in Brazil." With the help of 30 assistants,' Ms. Muraro interviewed 144 men and women from the up per and lower classes and submitted detailed questionnaires to more than 1 ,000 middle-class people.

Lola's pride is stung whenshe is told that an aristocrat like von Bohm would never have a whore like her. Von Bohm's quiet but determined idealism is shattered by his ultimate incapability to right injustices within the system. Fassbinder's ensemble of actors and ac tresses are uniformly fine, particularly the elec trifying Barbara Sukowa in the title role and Armin Mueller-Stahl as the noble tenderfoot von Bohm. But this is a director's film. The ac ting is a collaboration to reveal Fassbinder's unique vision. In one outstanding sequence, Barbara Sukowa is drenched in changing spotlight colors as she sings in the cabaret. The effect is dazzling but all the more brilliant as a comment on Lola's character and the character of an unstable society. :; Unfortunately, the subtitles hurt the rich and meticulous design in this movie.
