4The Daily Tar HeelThursday, September 26, 1985 npgeirs-to precede PUC Btkdm BY DEANNA RUDDOCK Start Writer . Play Makers Repertory Company has already introduced two new programs into its current season to try to draw more students to its productions and has now incorporated the talents of the Clef Hangers and the Loreleis into its campaign to increase student interest in PRC productions. The Clef Hangers and the Loreleis will perform on alternate weeks in advance of PRC productions on Student Tuesdays. Their performances will begin at 7:30 p.m., thirty minutes before curtain time. They will perform at no extra cost to theatergoers. Student Tuesdays is one of the two new programs created by PRC. It is designed to give students the opportunity to see a play on an unsubscribed night, when they have a shot at the best seats in the house. The other new program is Freshman Wednesdays, which allows freshmen to come to the first preview of a play at a reduced price. Sharon Herr, head of audience development, said that PRC purposely coordinated the Clef Hanger Lorelei . performances with Student Tuesdays. "We have found that in past years, Tuesday was a popular night for students," Herr said. "Since there are no subscribers on that night, we hope it will be even more enticing for students." Jonathan Giles, managing director for PRC, said that presenting the Clef Hangers and Loreleis before Student Tuesdays shows represented an attempt to publicize the Tuesday program. He came up with the idea for using the choral groups last year. He said that before one of the performances of PRC's Baby With the Bathwater last year, he watched students walk by the PlayMakers Theatre and into Memorial Hall to see the Clef Hangers. "I decided two things that night," Giles said. "First, I decided never to compete against the Clef Hangers again and, secondly, I decided that I was going to try to get them to participate with us in trying to attract more students to our plays." Members of both the Clef Hangers and the Loreleis said WEEK9 TODAY Maedchen in Uniform will be shown at 7 LOand 9:30 p.m. in the Union Auditorium. She Stoops to Conquer will be performed by PlayMakers Repertory Company at 8 p.m. through Saturday, at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday, and at 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at Paul Green Theatre.

Formed last year, the Loreleis have just reorganized. Moore, a sophomore from Raleigh, said that this year the Loreleis had good leadership and had improved their repertoire, changing styles from slow, serious music to bebop. Hugh Tilson, business manager for the Clef Hangers, said that he thought the performances would be good publicity for the group and would help them become the campus tradition they would like to be. "We are trying to get entrenched and established in the campus," said Tilson, a senior from Raleigh. "We have been around for eight years and would like to see some tradition started, but tradition obviously takes time." Mark Hebert, director of the Clef Hangers, said that this year's group was more motivated. "We are lucky to be able to do it, and we take the obligation very seriously," said Hebert, a graduate student from Sunnyvale, Calif. "We owe something to this music." Giles said that he would like to see the Clef Hangers become a campus tradition and would like to see them make Student Tuesdays a tradition also. As it stands now, he said, Student Tuesdays may or may not be a part of next year's program. "It's pretty scary," Giles said. "We spent a lot more money to generate interest than everyone expected. This cost may prohibit Student Tuesdays next year." Giles said he thought the disappearance of Student Tuesdays would be a loss to students. "There are few professional theater companies on campuses in the United States," he said. "The opportunity is a marvelous one, and most students don't know it's there."

Private self-defense classes are avail able to almost anyone who is interested these days. Shotokan Karate of America, for example, is a worldwide organization located in countries such as Israel and Japan. More than 1,000 Shotokan organizations exist in the United States, where the organization is 30 years old this year. ; "We're a non-profit organization designed solely for teaching," said Larry Lazarus, who organized Shotokan in Chapel Hill.' The instructors, who are not paid, promote the sport's mental aspects, he said. Shotokan began a special six-week course, "Women's Self Defense for Life Threatening Situations," Sept. 11. Taught by Tim Rentsch, a graduate student in computer science, the course meets Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7 at the Hillel Foundation, 210 W. Cameron Ave. "We hope we're educating them to look for danger before it happens and to get out of danger before it gets serious," Rentsch said. "You can't really teach people very much in six weeks," he said. "In order to be effective, they must practice about 10 minutes every day. I try to teach them a few technical trainings that might get them out of certain situations. I dont want to promise any miracle cures. We tell our regular karate students they won't see any improvements or changes for at least six months." . Rentsch said he had practiced karate for 15 years, yet was unsure whether he could effectively deal with an attack. Mental discipline training, he stressed, is the most important part of karate and self-defense training. "People's bodies freeze in difficult situations," Rentsch said. -"It's purely mental." v;.': A The self-defense class teaches five points, Rentsch said. "Be alert," Rentsch said. "Think about things ahead of time. Next, avoid conflict. Statistics say if you choose to fight you could come out all right, but there's a better chance youll be seriously hurt. Third, run away and yell for help while you're running. Most people are reluctant to be a public nuisance in that way, even in those situations. Fourth, practice. Finally, if you have to fight in a life-threatening situation, you can't be nice to your opponent. We tell our students to destroy your opponent." "Confrontation drives people to extremes," Rentsch said. "I tell students to just resist, say no." mm mu ash?

"One thing I'm stressing in my class is that the techniques are applied only in life-threatening situations," Rentsch said. "You fight when you have no choice. The decision as to what you do is entirely up to you. We don want to lull them into a false sense of security. If you make a mistake, the instructor won't be there. It's their own safety that's motivating their decision as to what to do. "In karate we think it's important to learn those technical trainings, even the difficult (ones)," he said. "Certain situations we practice could never happen. We do them for learning, with lots of emphasis on mental training." Lazarus said he had considered starting a self-defense course for about a year. UNC graduate student Sharon Stewart's recent kidnapping and murder prompted him to offer the course now, he said. The course is not necessarily cumul ative, Lazarus said, so people still can join. Shotokan charges a minimal fee to cover rent for the facility, he said. "It's a very pragmatic course for women so they can understand the mental techniques used in defense," Lazarus said. "By 'pragmatic,' we mean for women to come to the class just as they are in street clothes or whatever they normally wear. That way nothing's artificial." Jesse Bowen, chief instructor and fourth-degree black belt at Karate International, is planning a three-week program in basic self-defense. It will cost about $20 per person. Karate International has trained students in martial arts for 10 years, Bowen said. The organization has about 14 schools in North Carolina, including two in Durham. Bowen said he had about 800 students in those two pro grams and hoped to open a school in Chapel Hill by the end of September. Bowen said he had received about 40 responses to an ad he ran about the self-defense course. "Moms who usually bring their children in for classes are now getting interested in karate for themselves," Bowen said. He expects a good turnout for this special program. "Self-defense techniques involve more throws and judo-like techniques," said David Coleman, president of the University Taekwondo and Zen Club. The club plans to offer a two-month course in self-defense and self-control. Seong Soo Choi, a first-degree black belt in judo, will teach the course.

"Well have to see how much interest itll generate," said Coleman, a graduate student from Atlanta. "If we only get three or four responses, we couldn't have it." "Several people have asked us about self-defense," Coleman said. The club emphasizes self-defense techniques, but mainly teaches karate, which is more Korean and emphasizes the use of the feet, he said. The club practices Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 p.m., Fridays at 5:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room at Fetzer Gym. "We're open to anyone," Coleman said, "but mainly UNC people, though we do have a couple high school students." The Taekwondo and Zen club has about 25 members, including five women. The University used to offer self defense classes, but now only offers karate, said Angela Lumpkin, director of the UNC physical education activites program. "If sufficient student interest in re installing self-defense in the P.E. department is generated, well offer it again," Lumpkin said. (Interested students should contact the activities department in 205 Woolen Gym, 962 2021.) Lumpkin said the self-defenese course used "BKSS," which stands for bite, kick, scratch and scream. A police whistle or some other loud noise also attracts attention. "My approach to teaching self defense is, first: Prevent the situation from happening in the first place," Lumpkin said. "Lock doors, roll up car windows, don't run in darkness and avoid alleys. Second: Take certain action. Get away and leave. I do not take the prespective that the person should fight it out, though you must react immediately. , "A female, especially, is not going to be able to defend herself against males by fighting because of the size of the differential." The two best places to strike a male attacker are the eyes and the groin, she said. "Those can at least temporarily incapacitate the attacker enough for you to get away." - Lumpkin said students should not be afraid that they couldn't hit hard enough. "Hardness is not as effective as the place you hit them," she said. Illiteracy from page 1 than eight years of schooling, have not graduated from high school or read below an eighth grade level. The goal of the program is to bring the students up to an eighth grade level in reading, math and English grammar, Taylor said. North Carolina has 835,620 adults 25 and older who have not finished high school, she said. Taylor said a typical ABE class meets twice a week for three hours. Classes are offered during the day and at night and can be found in locations other than community college campuses. ABE recently started using compu ters as teaching tools to help students learn more quickly, Taylor said. "The students who have been intro duced to the computer have been really excited about it and it's difficult to get them to leave the computer," she said. While the ABE program works directly with adult illiterates, the Adult Literacy Initiative program exists mainly to inform the public about the problem of illiteracy, Bailey said. "The objectives of the program are to make the public more aware of this problem and to make individuals who need help aware that help is available," Bailey said. She said the Initiative was begun by the Department of Education after President Reagan announced his plan to combat illiteracy on Sept. 7, 1983. r&5 American Heart KAssociation WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE TOTAL FITNESS MEMBERS Bring In your membership card and receive 15 off any new membership THE GYM 503 C West Main St Carrboro 933-9249 208 W.
