Theresa McElwee and Kyle MacLachlan star in PlayMakers' production of 'Romeo and Juliet'
PlayMakers takes a new look
at Shakespeare's ancient drama
By ALSTON RUSSELL

PlayMakers Repertory Com
pany will present "Romeo and
Juliet," the play loved by genera
tions for approximately 300 years,
at the Paul Green Theatre. The first
preview performance is tonight,
and Saturday is opening night.
Director David Hammond said
Tuesday that the play's popularity
results from its ability to relate to
the feelings of all people, no matter
how young or old.
It speaks to every generation at
all times," Hammond said. "We all
want to recapture our innocence,
and the play is about the loss and
destruction of that innocence."
Hammond said he felt that this
particular Shakespeare play was
pertinent because of the change in
relationships between parents and
adolescents in modern society.
"It's funny that Shakespeare
plays go in cycles; each play
surfaces when the society is readv

for it," he said. "There's a lot of
new research about teenage suicide,
marriage and things, so the play
is suddenly very meaningful again."
According to Hammond, this
production of "Romeo and Juliet"
is an "abstract production based
upon its time period." He described
the play as a "poetic reality." This
forces any production of it to be
abstract, he said.
"We're going for the psycholog
ical and emotional truth of the
action," Hammond said.
Hammond said working with
movie actor Kyle MacLachlan has
been a pleasing experience. Mac
Lachlan has been classically
trained, which makes his acting
skills remarkable, he said.
"He's extraordinary," Ham
mond said. "He's an excellent
model for students working here
(on the production) because he
demonstrates the value of the
training process."

The meeting between manage
ment's Jack Donlan and the union's
Gene Upshaw was the first since last
Friday when Donlan offered conces
sions on issues such as roster size and
pensions if Upshaw would postpone
the strike 30 days. Upshaw rejected
the demand, making the walkout that
began Tuesday unavoidable.
Frank Woschitz, a spokesman for
the NFL Players Association, said
Upshaw and Donlan met in New
York and agreed to meet again. The
meeting followed a session between
! Upshaw, the NFLPA's executive
director, and the mystery man
Upshaw said could bring the day-old
'walkout to a quick end.
"Gene Upshaw met with mystery
person today in New York City and
this led to a IVi-hour meeting later
with Jack Donlan," Woschitz said.
"The two made plans for further
talks."
"We just dont have any comment,"
said John Jones, spokesman for the
Management Council.

Cramm praises HamI14oe9 Bailey
By JAMES SUROWIECKI
Sports Editor
UNC football coach Dick Cram's
weekly press conferences are no
longer being held at Slug's. This year,
Cram tells all the gathered reporters,
"If you have any questions, well, IH
be glad to try and answer them," in
the pleasant confines of the Skipper
Bowles Room in the Koury Natat
orium. But though the surroundings
(and regrettably, the food) have
changed, neither the atmosphere nor
the content are very different. Tues
day was no exception to the rule of
ennui.
On everyone's mind, of course, was
the Tar Heels' stirring comeback
victory last Saturday over Georgia
Tech, as UNC scored 27 points in
the second half to knock off the
Yellow Jackets, 30-23. The key to that
win was Cram's decision to use the
2-minute offense throughout the final
30 minutes.
"It was strange for us in that we
did some things pretty well and yet
did not produce many points in the
first half," Cram said. MI came off the
field at halftime and said we have to
change the tempo. The point of
emphasis at halftime, though, was
just relax and play your game and
good things will happen."
The coach seemed less enamored
of the so-called "hurry-hurry" offense
than were many of the assembled
writers. "When you ran that kind of
an offense," he said, "if you're
successful you use very little time, but
if you're not successful you use even
less time. Your defense is going to
play a lot if you ran that kind of
offense."
Indeed, though time of possession
was nearly equal at the half Saturday,
by the time the game had ended the
UNC defense had been on the field
ten minutes more than the Yellow
Jackets. The irony is that the Tar
Heels played better in the second half,
when presumably they were more
tired, than they had in the first.
Cram did not let that point slide,
saying, "Defensively, we stood
around a lot in the first half and we
missed a lot of tackles."
On the offensive side, the re
emergence of Mark Maye as a
dominant quarterback had to make
Crum happy, even if he wasn't
smiling. He also noted the spectacular
on Day One
tions about the walkout, which both
sides acknowledge is primarily over
the players demand for free agency
and the owners refusal to grant it.
The owners have insisted they will
accept only a liberalization of the
compensation system under which
only one player has changed teams
in 10 years.
"Apparently both sides are stupid
enough to get into this situation," said
Keith Fahnhorst, San Francisco's
player representative, after the 49ers,
despite some dissenting votes, agreed
to walk out en masse.
"If Upshaw cant get it resolved in
a hurry, we want someone else who
can," said Ron Wooten of the New
England Patriots, a former player
representative. "Gene's not getting
paid just to paint the offices in
Washington."
Despite the talks, picket lines went
up around stadiums and training
camps yesterday, as the NFLPA
embarked on its second strike in six
years.
The only discord was in New
Orleans, where three members of the
Saints walked through a line of about
30 players to seek treatment for
mjunes that had put them on mjured
reserve. They included center Steve
Korte, a five-year veteran, who is out
with a separated shoulder, rookie
fullback Todd Steele and tackle
William Leach, a free agent with one
year's experience.
In Pittsburgh, about 25 Steelers
walked for about a half-hour in front
of Gate A, the players' entrance to
Three Rivers Stadium. There, the
main sentiment was the futility of the
repeat of the 1983 walkout, which
lasted 57 days.
"We're not out here picketing.
We're just making sure nobody
sneaks in," player representative
Tunch Ilkin said. "It should never
have come to this. I never thought
I'd be standing here talking to you
guys this morning."

performance of wide receiver Randy
Marriott, who had nine catches for
more than 240 yards.
"Our passing attack has started to
come along," he said. "Against
Illinois, the conditions were against
it, and against Oklahoma, with the
pass rush, Mark was kind of running
for his life. Randy's a guy with a lot
of ability, and this is the first great
ballgame he's had."
Cram avoided falling over himself
praising Marriott, though.
"Some guys spend more time
figuring out how to get out of doing
their (school) work than they would
if they just did the work," Cram said.
"And Randy was close to falling into
that category."
Back to the Tech game, the coach
was willing to recur to an old
characterization to sum up his reac
tion to the contest. "From a fan's
standpoint, it was a very entertaining
game," he said. "From a coach's
standpoint, itH put some gray hairs
on your head, and I don't care which
side of the field you're on."
Cram had particular praise for two
of his players who normally toil in
the trenches, unnoticed because of the
glare emitted by the glamor boys
Maye and Torin Dorn.
The first target of his plaudits was
offensive tackle Darrell Hamilton,
who played a key role in giving Maye
enough time to slash the Tech defense
Saturday.
Setter Vpgel ready
for shining season
By LANGSTON WERTZ
Staff Writer
In the 1987 UNC Volleyball
brochure, Sherri Vogel said of her
position, "As a setter, the most
exciting part of volleyball is
watching my hitters burying the
ball after a great set."
And make no mistake, Vogel is
a great setter. The junior from
Wheaton, 111., has averaged more
than 1,600 sets per year during her
inaugural and sophomore seasons
with the Tar Heels. This feat has
undoubtedly made hitters like
junior Andrea Wells and sopho
more Ann Palmer very happy.
Making the great set, which
demands putting the ball in an
area where one of the hitters can
score on the opponent, landed
Vogel on the All-ACC team as a
freshman, the only frosh on the
squad. She nearly repeated that
feat the next year by being named
to the All-ACC second team.
These types of honors are large
to some, but Vogel downplays any
individual rewards. "I want to help
the team, first and foremost," the
industrial relations major said. "I
just want to get everyone involved
in our offense and try to distribute
balls evenly to all our players."
Before Sherri arrived at UNC,
she made the all-conference team
for three straight years, becoming
an all-state player while at her
alma mater, Glenbard High
School.
She received scholarship offers
from a number of schools but
came to UNC because of the
school's volleyball program and its
academic reputation.
Head coach Peggy Bradley
Doppes is happy she is here.
"On court Sherri is a solid setter
ISAA Women's Top 20 J
"(Bailey 's)a guy we should
be pushing for All-Ameri-,
can. As the game wore on,
he got stronger. He's an
emotional youngster and
he plays hard every play. "
Coach Dick Crum
"He played the best he's played
since LSU in 1985," Cram said. "He
played extremely well, and the
offensive line, tackle to tackle, played
their best game in two years. They
made a lot of adjustments and played
with a lot of poise."
Nose guard Carlton Bailey, truly
one of the finest in the nation, also
merited Cram's attention. "He's a guy
we should be pushing for Ail
American," the coach said. "As the
game wore on, he got stronger. He's
an emotional youngster and he plays
hard every play."
Cram had less to say, and was
asked fewer questions, about the Tar
Heels' game Saturday with Navy. The
fact that the Midshipmen have lost
their first two games, both to Division
I-AA opponents, may have had
something to do with that. But Crum
insisted that he wasn't taking Navy
lightly, and that he would be able to
get his players motivated.
"The fear factor more than any
thing," Cram said would keep the Tar
Heels awake. "They know they've got
to get down on the field and play.
If they dont Navy is going to get
you."
Cram did not overdramatize the
Midshipmen's potential, though,
even if Navy is running a wishbone
this year and the Tar Heels had all
kinds of problems defensing that
offense against Oklahoma. He recog
nized that after the Sooners and with
Auburn just ahead, staying intense in
Annapolis is no easy task.
"From a coach's standpoint these
are the kinds of games I hate, because
you dont want your kids to overlook
them," he said. "I'm very concerned
about not going there and getting lazy
mentally."
The last fear is one that those
writing press conference stories know
all too intimately.
with some very good experience
from the Chicago program,"
Doppes said. "And when she is
motivated, she can really, really
lead a team at times."
Doppes points out that
although Vogel has had two
outstanding seasons, both have
been marred by injury, indicating
that the spectacular set-maker
could have shined even brighter.
"She has had some injuries,
minor back and thigh, last year,"
Doppes said. "And any time you
have an injury, it'll stagnate
growth. But she works very hard,
as do all of our players, and if she
stays injury-free, shell do really
well for us this season."
To aid Vogel in the cause, UNC
has added frosh phenom Liz Berg
to the mixture "
"Liz has great talent and will
definitely score lots of points and
help the team," Vogel said. "But
this year well have a different
offensive scheme and I probably
won't get as many sets."
There are those who have
watched the Tar Heels on court
and have come away calling Vogel
a leader. She downplays this trait,
but Doppes deems it a very
positive feature.
The team's pledge reads, "A
commitment to one's self is often
the most important kind." Vogel,
as well as her 11 teammates,
exemplify this commitment to
themselves as well as the team.
"It all depends on our offense,"
Vogel said about the chance to
break her record for assists in a
season. "The hitters score the sets.
But breaking the record would be
okay. It's nice to have records. But
I'd rather have the ACC tourna
ment championship."
