By AU KOREIN University leaders spoke Tuesday evening about the presence of female role models at the University during a panel discussion, titled "Paces in the Crowd: Finding Leadership Among Us," that drew an audience of sever­ al dozen students to the Terry Sanford Institute of Pub­ lic Policy. The discussion—which was the culmination of a group project completed by Trinity senior Sarah Flaher­ ty and Trinity juniors Tessa Deutsch, Amanda Hallet and Dana Seshens for a political science class about women as leaders—featured Myrna Adams, vice presi­ dent for institutional equity; Jennifer Doyle, a graduate student in literature; Robert Keohane, professor of po­ litical science; and Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice presi­ dent for student affairs. When they introduced themselves, some of the pan­ elists spoke, about the hurdles they faced before they ended up in their current positions. Wasiolek, who attended the University as an under­ graduate on a fiill-tuition scholarship, said she only re­ alized that her true calling was working with students in an educational environment after she completed uninspirational stints as a health-care administrator and lawyer.

THE COLLECTED POEMS

REYNOLDS PRICE Those familiar with Price's earlier work will welcome having in one volume such vivid contributions as "The Annual Heron" (from Vital Provisions), "House Snake" (The Laws of Ice) and "An Afterlife, 1953-1988" (The Use of Fire). All will be introduced for the first time to his latest poems from the journal called "Days and Nights." This notebook was begun in the early 1980s, shortly before Price was diagnosed with a grave illness; and the entries continue in the second of three parts of The Unaccountable Worth of the World, many of them contending with the death of friends- "the Dying Belt, as my father called it." The whole new collection culminates in the powerful departures of such poems as "Scored by Light" and "The Closing, The Ecstasy."

But, compared to many of the other girls I photographed that day, her pleasant demeanor was a relief. I heard some of these other girls discussing Alice.

Because the plot involves several instances of deceit and manip­ ulation, the songs themselves become untruthful, even exploitative, at points. The creators hope that the varying degrees of honesty come across in the music as intend­ ed. Which is why Marans is so upset about moving to 9 the larger theater: the priority of this staging is not to entertain a large number of people (the 100-person guest iki South Square, list has precipitated the venue's change), but to give the creators a feel for the piece they've labored over. Marans bears the news of the location change grudgingly, and attempts to mold the production to its new surroundings. The stools have already been moved down to the floor in an attempt to make the setting as intimate as possible, and the piano is now pushed out to center stage. A run-through of one of the work's first numbers, however, reveals that the singers' voices don't reach past the fourth row of seats. The piano is too loud, the singers not loud enough. Marans tries moving the stools back onto the stage for better vocal projection, He tries draping the piano in packing blankets to muffle the sound. He asks for microphones, but the theater isn't set up for them today. "Jon, I'm screaming my guts out," grouses an actor from his perch on a stool. "This is not working for me at ali," Marans says to himself. He's standing now and gripping the back of the seat in front of him. He scans the front of the theater with his eyes. "It's not intimate enough." After a quick word to the cast he turns and heads to the lobby. Moments later he returns. "Could everybody grab their music stands and stools," he says. "We're going to the cabaret room."

Before Marans' big break with Old Wicked Songs, he spent a fair amount of time toiling in relative obscu­ rity. Although his biography in the playbill of Old Wicked Songs gives the impression of a relatively charmed writing career—mentioning an award won by his first play Child Child and work he did first as a writer for The New Carol Burnett Show and then as a script edi­ tor for Michael Douglas—his actual career path has been pockmarked with disappointments and lost oppor­ tunities. What the playbill politely omits are the half- dozen musicals Marans has worked on that never reached opening night and the stretch he recently spent rewriting flawed scripts and lyrics. A week and a half before the concert reading Marans is eating a breakfast of eggs, hash browns and ketchup at a small greasy spoon diner in midtown Manhattan. Looking back and laughing at his early mis­ fortunes, he recalls his parents' apprehension at learning that he was going to abandon a professional career and his degree in math and economics to enter a three-year program at the Musical Theater Workshop. That decision seemed even more disastrous after three years and fewer projects revealed that making a living creating musical theater wasn't feasible for him. Seeking economic security, Marans took a job writ­ ing short pieces for US magazine, and, through a contact made there, began working for Michael Douglas' pro­ duction company, Stonebridge, in 1986. Two years later he was approached by Mark Bramble, writer of the Broadway hits Barnum and 42nd Street, who asked PAGE 6•CURRENTS COVER S T O R Y WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1997
