Director Jay Skelton sees Fortinbras' character as the opposite of Hamlet's, "Whereas Hamlet was a char­ acter of conscience who was led to action, Fortinbras is a character of action who is led to his conscience." "Fortinbras" is extremely entertaining as a parody of one of literature's most highly regarded plays, but it is an elevated to a higher level through its implicit commen­ tary on contemporary politics. The portray­ al of Fortinbras is comedic, yet pointed, because his actions highlight the political repercussions that can occur when a new political leader makes uneducated and brash decisions in a tenebrous situation. "Fortinbras" is extremely witty and is sure to be enjoyed by all regardless if you loved, hated, or never read "Hamlet." The cast delivers great acting, and it is obvious that the actors have taken great lengths to bring out the characters' laughable nuances. According to Skelton, those who come see it will "have a good time and walk out of the theater with a smile on their face." "Fortinbras" premieres tonight at the Philbin Studio Theatre in the Marie P. Debartolo Center for the Performing Arts with shows running through Nov. 13.

Kerry leads Bush on minority vote WASHINGTON - Republicans' hopes that Voting snafus, dustups are scattered President Bush would improve his standing with black voters came to little or nothing Tuesday, but he did better with Hispanics than four years ago. Bush was doing as poorly with blacks as he did in 2000, getting only about one in 10 of their votes, exit polls indicated. His performance with black voters in 2000 was the worst for a Hepublican presidential candidate since Barry Goldwater got 6 percent in 1964 in his race against Lyndon Johnson. Kerry also led among Hispanic voters, but the gap was closer and Bush made some progress on that front - getting 40 percent of their votes or a bit higher. Kerry had a 15-point lead over Bush with Hispanics - about half tlw margin that Democrat AI Gore enjoyed in 2000. Bush, a former Texas governor, activPly court­ ed the llispanie vote in both presidential cam­ paigns and speaks passing Spanish.
