Theatre presents Spanish plays

The UMBC Theater Department will wrap up the semester with a group of plays called Three From Spain. Miquel Cervantes' "The Marvelous Pageant," written in the 16th century, is based on the broad farcical techniques of Italian Commedia del'Arte. It is an "Emporer's New Clothes" play, where some gypsies enter a Spanish village and perform a magic show, exposing the vanity and rigid morality of the townspeople. Federico Garcia Lorca's "Don Perlimplin and Belisa in the Garden" war written in the 1920's. Subtitled "An Erotic Lace Paper Valentine," the play is abundant with exotic visual imagery. Based on early Spanish puppet theater, this tragicomic love story provokes a dreamworld. "First Communion," by Fernando Arrabal, which was written by Arrabal in the early 1960's, is about a young girl being prepared for her first communion which turns into a nightmare. Arrabal's work developed from the same literary tradition of Cervantes, but his writing grew into stark, black comedy. Performances are scheduled for May 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 at 8 pm and May 7 at 2:30 pm. Admission for students and senior citizens is $1.00, and for Terrell-Poindexter claim the public $2.00. For reservations call the UMBC box office at 455-2476 after April 21. theY'can make it work' survive without the supportofall "A phrase I like is 'we can make Bureau last year, and is now the the students."

Along with her lecture, Dr. Jashemski showed a few of her over 30,000 color slides which helped to create a visual picture of the ancient site. However, all of the beauty and splendor of this great city came to a violent end in 79 A.D.

The eruption of Ml. Vesuvius completed the history of the city of Pompeii, which was still trying to repair the damage it suf­ fered from an earthquake in 62 A.D. Although most of the city's inhabitants escaped, a Roman general, Pliny, died while rescuing others from the catastrophe. It was Pliny's nephew's eye­ witness account of the terrible eruption from a ship off the island which gives his­ torians a better idea of the magnitude of the disaster.

Dr. Jashemski's work showed many sim­ ilarities between agricultural methods of ancient Pompeii and those of present day natives. "Interesting not only because it tells about the aesthetic view of the gardens themselves, but also their ancient agricul­ tural economy," commented Dr. Goldberg. Dr. Jashemski has recently released a book called The Gardens of Pompeii, which will soon be in t~e UMBC library. The Retriever, April 16, 1980, Page 11 The Ritz lavish hotspot in Baltimore City

This year's SGA election has been shrouded in controversy since the beginning. It is not our role to support a candidate in this or any other election and even if it was we would have to consider the Terrell-Rifkin tickets evenly matched - both are -filled with unanswered questions.

Rifkin and Margolies have campus experience and ' Terrell and Poindexter are dynamic and highly motivated to do a good job. Steve Kalvan has an interesting view of student government. Our view is that all who support his view do so in theory and not at the ballot box. His ideas deserve some auention but after close examination we find that there are several problems that Kalvan and Pearson haven't forseen. For example, it is questioned whether the SGA senate or the administration would allow the dissolving of the organization and the refund of fees.

The election has been given strong racial overtones because of a black ticket running against a white ticket. We don't consider the ~ickets necessarily motivated by race. At least not as a primary objective. On the other side of the coin the problems of the SGA this year are the Root of the problems of this election. A Root that has been nurished by the non-involvement of students in SGA and has grown into a tree of confusion. A wide canyon has formed between the Student Body and the Student Government on this campus. Unless that gap is bridged by more student participation we can expect more of the same type of problems next year. If because of the lack of student interest and involvement this SGA election produces another year of student leadership which is lax, divided, or ineffective, then it is as much the fault of a disinterested student body as it is the fault of those who are directly involved in that government.
