2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, November 9, 1992 As part of the University's 200th ibirthday next year, the UNC Black Fac ulty-Staff Caucus is preparing a video tape about the contributions African Americans have made to the Univer- Video to highlight African-American contributions to UNC BySheriChen 'Suff Writer sity. "(The video) is the history of African Americans' contribution to the devel opment of the University of North Caro lina," said Marion Phillips, the project director and associate dean of the School of Medicine. Clifford Charles, chairman of the caucus, said the film would focus on black contributions to the University since 1793, not just since 1951, when the first black student was admitted to UNC. The video will focus on "the contri butions (of blacks) across a variety of areas, highlighting the fact that even prior to blacks being able to be admitted into the University, they were helping to build this University," Charles said. "The black members of the faculty are still making contributions," Charles said. Fay Henderson, a member of the project and human affairs producer for Lab! Theatre targets decline of family in 'Daddies' With less than SO shopping days left ;before Christmas, the Lab ! Theatre once again delivers a thought-provoking and entertaining production, but this time it has a Christmas twist. But don't be fooled as you're suck ing on your complimentary candy canes and enjoying old time versions of "Jingle Bells. The play, Daddies, is not about Christmas, although the set, complete with lit Christmas tree and all the trim mings, will definitely put you in the holiday spirit. When Daddies was written by Douglas Gower in the mid-1970s, his major goal was to illustrate the condi tions of the American family and per haps its decline. Other themes include making commitments, responsibility, growing-up and, as one of the charac- Waynette Gladden Theatre ters, Carl, says, "Making your bed and lying in it!" The Christmas setting showcases the straggles of family members coping with a broken home, since Christmas is a time of family traditions and together ness (you'll notice I didn't use "family values"). "A lot of people are hurting from broken families," Director Mark Fatzinger, a senior, said. He said he hoped the play would speak to people in different ways and encourage them to reexamine Christ mas and what it means. The two characters Carl, the real Daddy, and George, the live-in Daddy are pitted against one another. Their major conflict is that Carl's religion will not let him divorce without one year of abstinence. George doesn't un derstand this. Unfortunately, Carl has been invited by his ex-wife to spend Christmas with her and the kids and George. Egos collide and competition is bru tal between them. "Roses are red and violets are blue, I have your wife and your children, too!" is George's bitter sentiments to Carl, who manages to keep his relaxed veneer while George only gets more and more agitated. He is very threatened by Carl, "Daddy 1." In the first scene, sophomore Michael Allen as "George" and junior Stephen Week Shelley as "Carl" seemed a bit too re hearsed and nervous. Yet, if my father came to visit my step-father, their ex change would be nervous at best. So, intentional or not, it worked. Their exchange and delivery only got better as the play progressed. There was an intimacy conveyed through the icy exchange between George and Carl. Fatzinger said this was one of his big gest staging challenges, and it worked. Everyone can relate to this play in one aspect or another. Although "Dad dies" was written in the '70s, the Labi's revival shows the plight of the Ameri can family hasn't changed much. Showings are today at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Tuesday at 5 p.m. Lab!

"We have been working on the project for two years and now are trying to tie things down," she said. The caucus is preparing to start com mercial production of the video. "We are still in the process of getting a contract," Phillips said. "We do not have it sealed yet, which is crucial. The length of the video and the materials Kristallnacht that will be contained will depend upoij the fund raising." 1; The tape will focus on all aspects of blacks' contributions including aca demic, athletics and other fields, Phillips said. Henderson said the tape would in clude people and events like George Moses Horton, the "black poet," and Wilson Caldwell, a slave who started the first black school in Chapel Hill. The caucus has not begun fund rais ing for the video. from page 1 teams to go to Third World nations to provide medical care for children whose families cannot afford it.

Fischer will speak at noon in front of Davis Library. Larry Bach, program director of the Hillel Foundation, said Kristallnacht was the first time the world got a taste of what the Nazis wanted to do. "(Kristallnacht) was the beginning of the end, the beginning of a new chapter to the Holocaust." Members of Hillel will be reading from "A Memorial of Names, a Holo caust Commemoration Ceremony," a book of names of Jews killed during the Holocaust compiled by the University of Maryland Hillel, Bach said. "The book of names just scratches the surface," Bach said, adding that members of the University of Maryland Hillel read names for 277 days and still were not able to finish reading the 6 million names of Holocaust victims. The purpose of the reading is to honor the memory of Jews killed during the Holocaust and to make the campus aware of what happened, Bach said. "Every year it gets more difficult to educate people about the Holocaust," he said. "It becomes more and more important to remember the Holocaust to prevent it from happening again."

"The reading of the names is a way for many students to remember (the Holocaust) and hopefully make it more real," said junior Eric Bairn, a member of Hillel helping to organize an exhibit in the Student Union in remembrance of the Holocaust. "Most people can't go a couple of pages without coming across a name of someone they know." The exhibit, titled "The Courage to Remember: the Holocaust 1933-1945," will be on display on the second floor of the Student Union for the rest of the semester. "It's an excellent exhibit," Bairn said. "It's a good way to learn about the Holocaust." The exhibit, prepared by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, is on loan from the Charleston.S.C.JewishFederation.The center, established in 1 977, is dedicated to the study of the Holocaust and to the monitoring and combating of anti Semitism throughout the world. "The Holocaust is not just a part of Jewish history," Bairn said. "It's a part of world history. (The exhibit) is a good start to understanding where Jews stand today. Fischer said, "Jews need allies in the non-Jewish world so these things don't happen again." Berta Ehrenberg. Benjamin Ebner. Moses Horowitz. Therese Rosenberg. Arnold Gerstmann. Mordechai Rodzinek.
