lilBa')rMhaaMp0alrBap 6The Daily Tar HeelMonday, February 15, 1988 y p p mi" 1 1 ii ' i yi ii 'Madwoman' good production from mediocre plot This weekend's run of "The Madwoman of Chaillot" at Chapel Hill Senior High School shows what happens when a very good cast and crew come in contact with not-so-good material. The result is a fairly entertaining evening of high school drama, but one could not help but wonder what this talented group could do if they were given a stronger, subtler play to work with. "The Madwoman of Chaillot," written by Jean Giraudoux, is a simplistic, moralizing comedy and straightforward high schooljun ior high drama club fare. Set in Paris, it involves the conflict between the madwoman of Chail lot and her neighborhood friends and the evil corporate capitalists, who want to destroy the city of Paris to prospect for oil beneath the streets. After much obvious comedy and blatant illustration of theme, the madwoman rids the world of these evil-doers by entic ing them down a bottomless secret passage, which is ever-so-conveniently located in her cellar. The Chapel Hill High students did an impressive job in staging the play. The sets, built by the tech classes, are colorfully and artisti cally done. Credit goes to costume designer Theresa Grywalski for the elaborate dress of the madwoman and her cronies and the appro priate clothes of the rest of the cast. The lighting was also effectively "A NfW YORK FILM CRITICS' AWARDS FOR BEST PICTURE, BEST ACTRESS, BEST DIRECTOR ASO BEST SCREENPLAY WILLIAM HI RT HOLLY HUNTER ALBERT BROOKS MnMRIIIANN jRiimncAST American Heart Association ' -x Ike to Campus Your Own Apartment.

Like the other produc tion aspects of the show, the technical work was a notch above standard high school theater. The cast was similarly talented. Kayce Meginnis, Martin Ferrell, and Randy Hackley fleshed out very nicely the roles of the mad woman, corporation president and prospector. Ted Gorodetzky and Cathy Geary were excellent in their smaller, comedic character roles. On the whole, this was a cast that was solidly prepared. They were confident and comfortable on stage, and there was hardly a bobble in action or dialogue. The staging was attractively composed and ably carried out. The show was a smoothly flow ing, colorful, attractive produc tion, and the moderately-sized audience of parents and friends seemed genuinely entertained by it. Chapel Hill High has shown by this production that its drama department is definitely above average in capability, and as a result it deserves above-average material to challenge not only its technical capacity but its dramatic capacity as well.

State-North Carolina game were not Wolfpack or Tar Heel players, and their warmup shots were not typical of any team. Instead, those three were the finalists for the first-ever Carolina Athletic Association Carolina Fever Slamma Jamma Dunk Contest. And amidst a sloppy ACC battle, they may have provided the most entertain ment of the evening. Last week, the jammin' trio sur vived the preliminary round in Woolen Gym. Cut to the Smith Center Thursday, where three dunks made up the finals, with only the two highest scores, on a 50-point scale, determining the champ. At stake were two round-trip tickets to one of three destinations, Key West, Denver or San Diego. For competing, the finalists received a basketball autographed by this year's Tar Heel squad. Virginia The Cavaliers recovered from their shooting woes enough to lead 33-25 at halftime. In the second half, UNC fell behind 44-33 when Johnson hit a driving layup with 13:15 to go. But again the Cavs went cold. North Carolina went on a 15-2 run, capped by a Steve Bucknall follow shot at the 8:36 mark that gave the Tar Heels their first lead since 2-0. Virginia looked to its leading scorer, Kennedy, who averages 19.1 points per game, but he couldnt find the range. The 6-foot-6 senior finished with but 11 points, going 0-for-ll in the second half. "I thought Mel had some good shots in the second, but they just wouldn't go in," Holland said. Said Kennedy, "I think 1 lost a little adrenaline. Tc shots I va taking felt good, and I thought any one of them could have fallen at any time." Neal's desperation shot lifts Tech over Tar Heels From staff and wire reports ATLANTA Georgia Tech guard Ida Neal hit a three-point shot from halfcourt at the final buzzer to give the Yellow Jackets their first-ever win over North Carolina in women's basketball Saturday at Alexander Memorial Coliseum. The Jackets led 65-58 with 7:42 left, but UNC scored the next eight points to go ahead 66-65 at the 4:33 mark on a free throw by Merlaine Oden. The lead then see-sawed until the end of the game. UNC dropped to 9-12 overall and 3-8 in the conference. Tech, still in last place in the ACC by a mere half game, improved to 10-12 overall and 3-9 in the league.

The three survivors were two sophomores, Gary Burnett and Dave Elliot, and a junior, John Phipps. Burnett, a 6-foot-2 business major from High Point, wanted to go to Denver. The 6-foot Elliot, a Chapel Hill native and also a business major, had Key West on his mind, while Phipps, a 6-foot-2 interdisciplinary studies major from Winston-Salem, was competing for the San Diego trip. All three said they were nervous about performing in the Smith Center. As Elliot said: MI couldn't even feel my legs, but I think we all did better because of it." Phipps led off the competition with an Isiah Thomas flip-and-jam that stirred the capacity crowd's attention. Burnett followed that with a reverse tomahawk, and Elliot swept the ball around his body and through the net a la Dominique Wilkins to close out Round One. from page 1 With Kennedy cold, Virginia got a boost from an unlikely source. A three-pointer from freshman John Crotty enabled the Cavs to take a 53 52 lead with 6:35 to go. Two free throws by Kenny Turner and one by Crotty made it 56-52, but UNC sandwiched a Lebo 17-footer between layups by Smith and Bucknall to go ahead for good.

At that point, some fans started to debate going for that halftime soft drink at the concession stand. Phipps, who seems to have springs for legs, ripped a reverse sweep through the rim to begin round No. 2. After making a bad toss, Burnett then bounced the ball off the glass and threw it through the hoop. Elliot finished off the round with a baseline reverse that, for him, was a sign of things to come. Many fans had long since decided to nix the Coke by the start of the final round. Phipps began the round where Elliot had left off, with a baseline reverse. But Burnett then took himself out of the competition by missing a straight-in, hang-in-the-air slam that crashed off the rim. "I just didn't get my steps down," he said afterwards. "This was our first time down here, so it was hard to get my steps down." One could sense that the wiry Elliot would seize the opportunity that had fallen into his lap, and he did. Already given an advantage by going last, he Nicholas wins U.S. trials, world cross country next By PATRICK O'NEILL Special to the DTH Six-time United States champion Pat Porter must be getting pretty tired of competing against runners from UNC. On Saturday in Dallas, Porter was beaten by UNC assistant track coach George Nicholas in the U.S. trials of the International Amateur Athletic Federation World Cross-Country Championships only his second cross-country loss on North Amer ican soil in more than five years. In November's U.S. Cross Country Championships, Porter was dogged and almost beaten by UNC's Jim Farmer, a runner coached by Nicholas. But it was Saturday's race that firmly established Nicholas as a world class competitor.

The crowd roared its approval of the 360, and Elliot had won. WI would Ve liked to do it with two hands, but it supped, so I just had to stuff it in when I was in mid-spin," Elliot said. "I think next year they need to have three firsts, because Gary can jump a lot higher than me, and John can go out a lot farther." Phipps said that his performance was the best he could have done. "Everyone knew going in that Dave was the one to beat," he said. Elliot added that his friends gave him lots of support in what was understandably a very unnerving experience. But he grinned when asked what he would do with his other ticket to Key West. "I'm not sure what IH do," he said. "Maybe 111 take one of these guys with me." of U.S. distance runners. Porter, the top-ranked cross country runner in the U.S., finished third. "I think it's great," said UNC head track coach Dennis Craddock. "George has just turned the corner to greatness." Nicholas, a former Tar Heel AU American, ran a time of 38:13 over the 12-kilometer course (about 7l2 miles) to gain entrance into the field for next month's international meet in New Zealand. Nicholas, who received $1,000 and a free trip to New Zealand for the victory, will lead the nine-man U.S. team to the March 26 race. Nicholas qualified ninth on last year's U.S. team, which competed at the world championships in Warsaw, Poland.
