4The Dally Tar HeelWednesday, November 18, 1987 Women's shelter begins fund-raising campaign By KARI BARLOW Staff Writer The Orange Durham Coalition for Battered Women has launched a fund-raising campaign to aid the search for a new location in Durham. The coalition has already received commitments of $55,000 from board members. Shelter officials want to purchase a house, renovate it and maintain facilities such as a kitchen and a fenced yard, said Susan Ross, the cam paign co-chairwoman. "We think we will need $150,000," Ross said. 44 We are moving forward on all fronts now, hoping to raise the money by the . spring." Shelter officials have planned to move the current facilities from Orange County to Durham because of the increasing need for services there. About 75 percent of the calls that the shelter receives come from Durham, but only 34 percent of shelter residents are from Durham, according to Ross. Durham County has a larger population than Orange County, which explains the call for more shelter services in Durham, she said. Safety problems at the shelter's present location have also influ enced the coalition to relocate in Durham, she said. "The Orange County location is in a neighborhood that's not perceived to be safe," Ross said. Not only potentially unsafe, the shelter location is becoming well- Speech in Kinston, N.C., brought a student from his high school class. "I'm teaching my kids the roots of Ronald Reagan conservatism," Berger said. "We're looking at the changes since 1929, and conservatism is obviously a reaction to the civil rights movement."

"You can hide in Durham better than you can hide in Chapel Hill," Ross said. The present shelter has three bedrooms and can house 1 1 peo ple. Ross said the coalition wants to find a new house with six or seven bedrooms. "We'd like to be able to take care of 22 people," Ross said. "We'd like a central location that is convenient to stores, schools and bus lines." Although no specific area in Durham has been designated for the new shelter, Ross said the coalition expects to be in the new house by the summer of 1988. The Orange County shelter will then become an overnight emer gency shelter to house women and children who need immediate shelter and women who are emo tionally ready to venture out on their own, but cannot financially afford it. Shelter officials will not disclose its location to ensure the safety of its boarders, but this is not a significant problem for the fund drive, according to Carolyn Fal letta, chairwoman of the board. "I think most people under stand," she said. "We have a wide range of hinders." The coalition also receives state, county and city funding and aid from organizations such as the United Way. from page 1 Interest Research Group, he helped compile the first report on UNC's investments in companies doing business in South Africa. Severous Curry, the 16-year-old high school junior who accompanied Berger, said the speech gave him a new perspective on his study of the civil rights movement. "It made it more real," Curry said.

The show will involve four 20th century operas ranging in topics from the problems of immigration in Lower East Side New York to the events of a small mining town in Colorado at the turn of the century. The pieces performed will include "Down in the Valley" and "Street Scene" by Kurt Weill, "Candide? by Leonard Bernstein and "The Ballad of Baby Doe" by Douglas Moore. "This is a real good introductory afternoon for opera," director Terry LaGarde said Monday. "It (the show) has both humor and sadness, but all of the pieces are tied together with love themes." LaGarde said the entire show is in English, so it is readily accessible to everyone. The performance results from a workshop that LaGarde has been conducting. All 12 members of the workshop, varying from student to community citizen to faculty member, will participate in the opera. According to LaGarde, the pro duction process has been a group effort. For the most part, the props and costumes have been supplied by Campus Calendar Wednesday 11a.m. UNC Marching Tar Heels will be in the Pit taking votes for the 1987 Dook Homecoming Queen.

Many of the singers participate in more than one aspect of the production, she said. For example, the pianist for the show, Frank Pittman, will sing during one of the pieces while LaGarde plays the piano. Cast members said the most impor tant aspect of performing an opera is being ready to react to whatever may happen onstage. "It's a matter of being independent and also react ing to someone else at the same time," Pittman said. LaGarde said one of the non-speaking actors was a 4-year-old boy, making it crucial for the other actors to be able to react to whatever may happen. Another obstacle which faces the performers is trying to keep their own personalities separate from the char acters they portray onstage. "The hardest part is not being Billy onstage but being the character and not letting Billy get in the way of that character," said member Billy Hagwood. Such challenges involved with this opera prove to be pleasing, according to members of the cast. "Stepping into another character different from yourself is challenging because you have to combine everything music, action and drama," member Ann McCloskey said. LaGarde said the most difficult part of the production is focusing on both the music and drama.
