2The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, November 17, 1992 'View from Justice that's what we're talking here. Justice for all. Justice is due, in the form of praise, forthecastof "A View from the Bridge," who did justice to Arthur Miller's script about justice. The Department of Dramatic Art's production Friday night at Old Playmakers Theater, under the direc tion of drama Professor Susanna Rinehart, was strong and powerful. The view in the title was the audience's view into the 1950s and the world of Eddie ' Carbone and his family in the tough ' Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook. Eddie himself seems poised over an other view, from a bridge. It is only a ' matter of time before his stubbornness leads him to his own destruction in a metaphoric leap from that bridge. "A View From a Bridge" centers around Eddie's relationship with his loving wife Beatrice and his 17-year-old protege Catherine. He isolates him self from Beatrice, who is willing to PIZZA CHEF IS 929-3330 FREE DELIVERY M-Sat 11:30-1 lpm, Sun. 2-1 300 E. Main St., Cartboro (S5 Mmy minimum) jr x A jfc. A. -Jfc. .A.

But Eddie has trouble accepting that Catherine is growing up. He is appalled when she finally falls in love with his Sicilian cousin Rudolpho who, with his brother Marco, illegally entered the country in search of work. Beatrice and Catherine become sym bols of the repression of the '50s. They are not able to choose their own lives and yet are unhappy with those chosen for them by Eddie. Sophomore Jonathan Elkes gave a stunning performance as Eddie, remi niscent of Brando (albeit middle-aged) in "A Streetcar Named Desire." Elkes' looming presence drove the play. Every gesture, every line, gave the audience an insight into Eddie's foibles and preju SHARING 10 Get Caught Donate Plasma and earn up to $28 (regular) or $33 (buddy plan) donor a week. 942-0251 Interested In GoingTo Law School? offers lessons in human behavior dices. Elkes brought depth to a part that easily could have been shallow. Eddie was never truly likable, but Elkes en sured Eddie was not a one-dimensional villain. Elkes made the audience empa thize with Eddie's plight and showed tremendous understanding of the nu ances of his character. A wonderfully brooding performance by senior Martin Murphy as Marco served as a complementary contrast to Elkes' Eddie. Murphy resisted any ste reotypical, gangsterish versions of the quiet Sicilian and made Marco calm and understated. This subtle approach presented more impact to the climactic moments at the end of both acts. Ferguson enough research. He has appealed that ruling to the Standing Faculty Commit tee, which has until Thursday to decide whether to hear the case. Student supporters of Ferguson re port that the popular professor has been awarded $ 1 2,825 in research grants, the largest sum of any speech communica tion department award. Much of the controversy which has arisen deals with the weight given to research in the tenure policy. Critics of the procedure cite the cases of Ferguson and assistant professors of geology Kevin Stewart and Michael Folio as evidence that UNC administrators are de-emphasizing classroom teaching. Like Ferguson, both Stewart, whose case is under appeal, and Folio, whose contract expires this spring, have won several faculty teaching awards. Although Ferguson has had seven of his literary works published, the Speech Communication Advisory Committee didn'tconsider Ferguson's works tradi-. tional research, Ferguson's supporters said. ;ffli)i:t(iirtHWi' Junior Meg Dyer, who played Beatrice, faltered at times but gave a generally commanding performance, standing up to Eddie while encouraging Catherine to choose her own life. The tenderness that the two women showed for each other was touching, and Dyer was particularly impressive in the final scene as she grieved Eddie's death. Senior Duncan Boothby as Rudolpho lightened the play, bringing humor to the blond singercook. Boothby recov ered from a shaky start and settled into the part very well, throwing into relief the tension shown between Eddie and Marco. Miller's script allowed for an inter "I think it is an irony of the whole situation that the department chooses to call my creative work publications in their annual report, and still the case turned on the business of more tradi tional publications versus my creative research," Ferguson said in an inter view Monday. Strobel said students were aware of the importance of research, despite sev eral UNC-CH and UN.C-system admin istrators' recent complaints that stu dents did not understand how the sys tem worked. "Don't let the administration's rheto ric lead you to believe that we don't value both research and teaching," Strobel said. "We support both research and teaching, and we ask the adminis tration to honor both of those also.." Fox address the problems with rape laws as they exist," he said. If the legislature approves the pro posals, they could go into effect as soon as next October, Fox said. Fox said local women's groups had reacted positively to the proposed changes but added that he was not sure Campus Calendar TUESDAY 3 p.m. STOWE and Morehead will sponsor a Blood Drive in the Cobb basement until 7:30 p.m. Enter at door on the left side.

KAPLAM The answer to the test question. esting and thought-provoking exami nation of the conflict between law and justice, with Eddie supporting law and Marco and Beatrice fighting for justice. Rinehart's skillful direction vented the characters' problems as they each dealt with their own desires, weighing what they wanted to do compared to what they should do. "A View from the Bridge" proved once again that the Department of Dra matic Art values demanding theater. This exceptional production posed seri ous questions about how people should behave, and forced us, the audience, to ask whether Eddie's stubbornness and selfishness do not also play a damaging part in our own lives. from page 1 Strobel added that he thought Ferguson deserved both tenure and a promotion. Ferguson's case has been argued be fore the Speech Communication Advi sory Committee four times. The first and third time they rejected the tenure request, and the second time they rec ommended that Ferguson be given ten ure without promotion. In each case, Birdsall refused to accept the committee's recommendation. In September, the committee recom mended that Ferguson not be granted tenure. This time, Ferguson appealed the ruling. Ferguson, who made a brief atten dance at the protest, said he remained confident that he would be granted ten ure. from page 1 how the legislature would react.

A fourth officer was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Three other officers who had been suspended after the Nov. 5 beating of Malice Green were not charged. Green, 35, died of head injuries after being beaten on an inner-city street near a suspected drug house. Three of the officers charged, includ ing the two charged with murder, are white. The officer charged with man slaughter is black. While the beating of an unarmed motorist drew parallels to the video taped beating of King and the rioting that followed the acquittal of officers in that case, NAACP officials have said the Detroit case was different They credited quick action by Police Chief Stanley Knox in suspending the officers allegedly involved. Mayor Coleman Young also publicly de nounced the beating. Both Knox and Young are black. Knox has said he did not believe the beating was racially motivated, and Wayne County Prosecutor John O'Hair said Monday no racial epithets were used during the shouting heard by wit nesses during the beating. Knox had suspended seven officers Nov. 6, aday after Green'sdeath. O'Hair said there was not enough evidence to charge the three other officers. Undercover officers Larry Nevers and Walter Budzyn were charged with second-degree murder. Sgt. Freddie Douglas was charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a maximum 15-year sentence, and willful neglect of duty, punishable by a year. Douglas, the ranking officer on the scene, was accused of failing to try to stop the beating. Officer Robert Lessnau was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Crenade blast kills Palestinian man JERUSALEM A Palestinian man was killed and eight others were wounded Monday when a grenade ex ploded in a crowded street market in the Muslim quarter ot Jerusalem s Old City . Police commander Avi Feder said the grenade apparently was hurled from the market's roof, which is adjacent to a Jewish seminary. But Feder said there was no evidence a Jew hurled the gre nade, which was the type issued by the Israeli army. An anonymous caller told The Asso ciated Press in New York that the attack was carried out by Kahane Lives, a militant Jewish organization named for the late anti-Arab activist Rabbi Meir Kahane. There was no way to authenticate the call. Benjamin Zeev Kahane, leader of the movement and son of the late rabbi, told AP in Jerusalem: "We cannot take responsibility for the attack. We are a legal organization." He declined to elaborate. Russian government designs anti-crisis plan MOSCOW President Boris Yeltsin and his Cabinet on Monday completed an "anti-crisis plan" to main tain Russia through the winter but re jected opposition demands to freeze prices and slow reforms. The government also decided to charge world prices for oil, gas and other natural resources to former Soviet republics that no longer use the ruble, chief economic spokesman Alexei Ulyukayev told a news conference. "This is what we have in mind: not to subsidize the economies of neighbor ing states," Ulyukayev said. Ulyukayev's remarks followed a Cabinet meeting to complete the government's four-month plan and a draft budget for 1993. The program, to be submitted to lawmakers next week, will shore up Russian industries through subsidies and tax breaks, as vfell as tariffs on some foreign imports, he said. Suicide bomber kills Sri Lankan navy chief COLOMBO, Sri Lanka A suicide assassin raced his motorcycle along side a car carrying Sri Lanka's naval chief Monday, then detonated a bomb that ripped the auto with pellets and killed the admiral and three aides. Military officers blamed separatist Tamils for the killing of Vice Adm. Clancy Fernando near the Taj Samudara Hotel in the center of the capital. It was the second political assassina tion in 20 months blamed on minority Tamils who are fighting for an indepen dent homeland in the north and the east of this Sinhalese-dominated island in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka's navy has played an in creasingly important role in trying to contain the nearly decade-old rebellion, which has cost 17,500 lives. The Associated Press
