Lab! Theatre actors reach for greater unity
The audience is shrouded in dark
ness. When a single beam of light comes
from above, it reveals the cast, clad in
black, silently rocking in perfect syn
chronization. So began the Lab! Theatre produc
tion "Us and Them," which ran the
weekend before Thanksgiving Break in
Black Box Theater in the basement of
Graham Memorial. From this moment
of silence until the end of the perfor
mance, the audience was absorbed by
the performers showing different faces
of mankind through various dances,
songs and monologues.
First was a dance choreographed by
local dancer Killian Manning. The per
formers showed a high level of concen
tration in the absolutely silent dance.
Sophomore Cassie Najarian per
formed "Concert Tino" by George
Perlman on the violin. With only a single
beam of light shining on her, the music
took on an eerie yet beautiful quality.
Her face lit only by two candles.

freshman Lisa Bowers did an effective
rendition of an excerpt from Gates of
Prayer, a Reform Jewish prayer book.
Beautiful harmonies were the high
light of the Hebrew round "Peace,
friends," sung by senior Sarah Lamm,
sophomore Amy Kilgard and Bowers.
Senior Ali Webster, complete with
Russian accent, gave a notable perfor
mance of "What Do Russians Want?"
by Yevgeny Yeutushenko as she spoke
of the necessity of recognizing and
meeting the needs of the common man.
Sophomore Anastasia Kokotis, who
performed the Greek dance
"Kalamatiano," was followed Najarian
and sophomore Nicole Gibson singing
"Come to the Water." This performance
was highlighted by a self-choreographed
dance by Lamm.
A simple equation with a positive result.

In a performance she co-wrote with
Todd titled "Lamara," freshman Kim
berly Freer spoke of her cousin with
Down's syndrome who had no stereo
types or prejudices.
In a strong and intriguing perfor
mance, sophomore Jonathan Grant and
junior Patrick Thomas found unity with
each other through dance.
The evening ended with the play "Us
and Them" by David Campton. The
narrator, played by Freer, was actually
a recorder of history and took the audi
ence through a situation she had wit
nessed several times.
The story involved two groups arriv
ing on an unclaimed plot of land at the
same time. All is fine until they decide
they need a wall to keep their animals
from straying.
The wall becomes massive, making
it impossible for the groups to interact.
Suspicions well up as the groups
realize they have no idea what the other
people are doing on the other side of the

wall. The more they talk about it, the
more afraid they become of the other
group, about whom they know nothing.
Things come to a head as the groups
decide to tear down the wall, not for
fellowship with their neighbors but to
wage a bloody war.
When all is finished, a survivor from
each group comes forth, blaming the
wall for the conflict. In their opinion,
the wall just was not big enough.
By the end of the play, the recorder is
frustrated yet resigned.
The chilling message behind "Us and
Them" is that it is time for us to stop
singing the praises of walls and begin
singing the praises of each other, rejoic
ing in our differences rather than trying
to eliminate them.

Supreme Court rebuts
Guam abortion law
WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court sustained women's basic right to
abortion Monday, voting 6-3 against
reviving a 1990 Guam law that would
have prohibited nearly all such opera
tions. The justices refused to review lower
court rulings that had declared the U.S.
territory's sweeping law unconstitu
tional. Monday's action, which activists on
both sides of the national debate had
expected, marked the first time in 20
years the high court declined to review
a major abortion dispute.
The invalidated Guam law would
have allowed abortions only when an
embryo formed outside the woman's
womb, or when two doctors determined
that continuing a pregnancy would kill
a woman or "gravely impair" her health.
Monday's action was viewed as likely
to persuade Louisiana officials not to
seek to reverse a federal appeals court
ruling that struck down their state law
banning most abortions. Louisiana At
torney General Richard Ieyoub said he
would announce the state' s plans today.
The court's brief order in the Guam
case drew dissenting votes from Chief
Justice William Rehnquist and Justices
Antonin Scalia and Byron White.
Writing for the three, Scalia said a
federal appeals court wrongly struck
down the Guam law "on its face."
Rehnquist, White and Scalia' joined
by Justice Clarence Thomas dis
sented from the June ruling. They said
that there was no constitutional right to
abortion.

Tsongas tells reporters
that he has cancer
BOSTON Former Democratic
presidential candidate Paul Tsongas,
who has twice battled cancer, confirmed
Monday that a new growth in his abdo
men is cancerous.
"That's the bad news," Tsongas, 5 1 ,
said at a news conferenceThe good
news is that it's contained."
The former U.S. senator said he would
undergo chemotherapy and radiation
treatment as early as Thursday and that
those measures should effectively re
move the cancer, which he identified as
large-cell lymphoma.
Tsongas ended his Senate career in
1984 after he was diagnosed with non
Hodgkins lymphoma. His condition
worsened despite conventional treat
ment, and he underwent an experimen
tal operation in July 1986 in which
some bone marrow was removed and
treated to kill the cancer cells.
Tsongas said he was relieved to learn
that the newest growth, discovered near
his pancreas, was not pancreatic cancer,
which can be quickly fatal.
Tsongas said his medical condition
would not affect his own political plans
and added that he had designs on no
elected office but the presidency.
Tsongas said that had he won the
presidency, and then been forced to
undergo treatments, his job perfor
mance would not have been affected.
"I'd just deal with it like you deal
with everything else," he said. "I might
throw up, but we had a president who
did that in Japan on full camera. I would
do it in private."
