2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, March 13, 1992 71 " " y? 1 WORLD BRIEFS" House votes to release list of check bouncers WASHINGTON House Demo cratic leaders gave in to Republicans' crying cover-up Thursday and moved toward identifying 353 current and former members who wrote bad checks at the chamber's bank. Members of the House had scheduled a vote late Thurs day evening on a bipartisan measure that would release all the names, not just a group of 24 present and former lawmakers labeled as "abusers" by the House Ethics Committee. Several lawmakers rushed to confess their overdrafts in an effort to limit political damage. One of them. Rep. Charles Wilson, D-Texas, estimated he had written be tween 75 and 85 rubber checks during the 39 months reviewed by the House Ethics Committee. But Wilson said he had merely taken advantage of what had been an accepted practice for a century. "It's so strange how things turn out to be big deals that you just never dreamed," Wilson said. The short list was expected to be released in about 10 days, and the full version about 20 days later. With the political ground quickly shifting.

The Democrats buckled under Re publican comments charging that the majority wanted to protect its members. Democrats far outnumber Republicans in the House, and the list of lawmakers with overdrafts presumably would also be top-heavy with Democrats. The House ethics committee, which spent five months investigating rubber check writing, said 296 current mem bers and 59 former members wrote bad checks at the bank during the period under review.

One couponperorcleratpaticipatin3PizzaHut HOURS M-F10am-llpm F-SAT 10am 12mid SUNNOON-7pm 'Nuts' addresses prostitution, By Elizabeth Oliver Staff Writer Trials of prostitutes are fairly com mon occurrences. After all, prostitu tion is a crime. But what happens when a prostitute is accused of killing one of her clients? This kind of trial, with an added twist, is the focus of "Nuts," a produc tion of Campus Theater. In today's courts, it's common for an alleged murderer to undergo a sanity trial before being tried for committing a crime. Though most people use the insanity plea as a way to hedge around more serious punishments, this is not the case in "Nuts." Claudia, the prostitute whose trial is the center of the production, hopes to be found sane and later plead not guilty to the charge that she murdered one of her clients. Claudia's parents and a psychiatrist join her on the stand. Her parents hope Claudia will receive a verdict of insan ity and thus endure a lighter punish ment for her alleged crime. Some people may remember the movie "Nuts," which starred Barbra Streisand. Though the two productions have the same basic stories and charac ters, Campus Theater's version centers totally on the sanity trial of Claudia and not on her character's life outside the courthouse. As seen in recent movies such as "JFK" and "Fried Green Tomatoes," trial scenes are usually an intense part of any production or screenplay.

CampusTheater also tries to interact with the viewers as much as possible by having the courtroom lawyers act near the audience. In fact, the viewers may feel as though they are Claudia's jury as the actors gesture and talk to them. Though people will certainly have their own opinions regarding the play and the issues it addresses, co-director Anna Weinstein says one issue seemed to stand above the rest: the seriousness of prostitution as a crime. 0 effective!

"Nuts" was chosen by Campus The ater because it has six main roles rather than the conventional one or two. The talents of the actors involved are tapped more effectively with so many prin ciple roles. Campus Theater joined UNC's the ater scene in the m iddle of last semester when it was formed by Anna Weinstein, Chris Quails and Duncan Boothby. The group has received a good response from students: Each performance has had large audiences and plenty of aspir ing actors auditioning for available Correction In the March 12 Daily Tar Heel article, "Bulls belong in Durham, council says," Chapel Hill Town Council member Roosevelt Wilkerson cast the dissenting vote in a council resolution supporting Durham's efforts to keep the Durham Bulls playing in Durham Athletic Park.

Though the story of "Nuts" already seems intriguing, Tom Quinn, a senior speech major fromGreenville who plays a district attorney in the play, says that what makes the play really stand out is that it "makes the strange really famil iar." Given the group's innovative ap proach to the play as well as the intrigu ing issues confronted, "Nuts" should be a performance that lawyers could find guilty only of excellence. "Nuts" will be performed at 4 and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 13 and 14, in IN Murpliey. Admission is ; free. Calls from page 1 violated," Doyle said. Thomas handed out slips of paper at the rally with Hardin's home and office . phone numbers and a message for sup porters to read when they called him. Thomas said the supporters' intent in calling Hardin was not to harass or annoy him but to find out if he was considering their demands and had changed his mind about his response to the groups. "We're not trying to annoy the chan-. cellor," Thomas said. "That is not ha rassment. It is our right to call our chan cellor to find out if he's doing his job. I'll probably call him at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to see if he' s changed his mind." Jane Bethay , Hardin 's secretary, said Wednesday after the rally she had re ceived about 12 calls so far. "We hope the calls don't interrupt business," she said. "All we can do is just answer them as they come in." Beverly Frey, Hardin's housekeeper, said Hardin and his wife left town Wednesday morning to attend the At lantic Coast Conference basketball tour nament. She said she had not received any phone calls while at the Hardin's house. "This phone is not manned (this week end)," she said. 'There's not much chance they're going to get hold of anyone if they call." Thomas said she hoped the phone calls would force Hardin to give the BSM a written response to their de mands. "We've given him the boundaries of where we expect our free-standing newly constructed black cultural center to be," she said. "It was very specific. There was no way for him not to under stand what we were asking for." Lee Richardson, a BSM member, said he was calling Hardin because if many people called, it might elicit a response from the chancellor.. "Only through mass action do we get action and results," he said. "I feel he ". will have some type of conviction ... or . at least get tired of us 'bothering' him." , BSM member Rhonda McCoy said . she felt it was time to stand up to Hardin's slowness in answering the BSM's needs. , Salad Platters Carrot Cake French Silk Pie Daily Specials Spuds & Desserts Lunch and Dinner 929-0296 Many styles and colon available!
