Later in a conference call. Roberts said Cornea'\! would look at other acquisition targets. including bankruJ)( cable com-pany Adelphia Communica-llOns Corp .. but didn't feel pre<i·

SUfCd to expand. ''Ille Adelphia si1uatioo did

nOI factor into today's anoouncement" he said. "That's a new situation for sure. We "ve alwa)'1' looked at cable

systems so I suspect we'll look al !hose."

Roberts said lhe com-pany wanto;; to be "oppor-

1orners, I think we are in the position where we don't have to make any acquisitions."

As I look at protest pictures with pc_ople holding signs saying ··save Higher Education Now!!" and "No More Fees" and reading about the chaOts, I come 10 the conclusion tha1 these people don't quite realize how cheap state col-leges are in the grand-scheme-of-things. When students arc paying nearly S33,(){M) a year to go IO use. whining about paying al-rnosl $1.300 a semester seems ra1her petty.

ta1 1on of Wo lfgang Petersen ' s mm ie aboul the Trojan War, "Tro) ... llurn a live theatrical per-f1•rmanc: e a f the siory. Bui what do I know about times changing '? I'm barel y reaching my mid-20s.

I do know that more than 1,600 years ago 1he Greeks were fanati -cal about thei r theater. especially during the fes11val for Dionysia , celebrated m honor of Dionysus, the god of wine. In Athens , c rowds as large as 18,000 would gather to wa1ch the inte,pretations of Homer 's works as produced ~Y various playwrights. The tragedies of Aeschylus. Sophocles and Euripides survived and were replicated . Leap ahead 2,500

years . give or take . and writings Dy alt four were reworked with the addition of accessible. modern language in the play series "THE GREEKS" by John Barton and Kenneth Cavander.

This finally takes us to the cool. airy Campus Theatre in Nordhoff Hall, where studentS in 1hc theatre department pcrf6rmed 1wo classic stories Saturday nigh1 e:itccrpted from and inspired by "THE GREEKS ."

Directed by James DePaul. theatre department chair, J ' aimc Morrison, theatre professor. and Kevin Wetmore, theatre profes-sor, the play in many instances , quo1ing J ' alme Morrison , "trans-lates spoken poetry into evocative non-literal movement ."

In the opening scene of .. Iphi-genia in Aulis." you ' re immedi-ately struc k by an aesthetic visu-al, showcased by having the enscrhble in silhouettes entering in choppy, staccato movemtl)IS with a large blue backlight behind a thin cunain. Not to get all Hol-lywood, but it did remind m~ of that one fight scene in " Kill Bill .. with the silhouettes and blue background. While I'm at it, other .. Kill Bill" re.ferences . though I don'I think they w~re .

intenuonal, were evoked when in the opening lo the second story, .. The Trojan Womeh:· an eerie siren went off during the dcstruc· lion of Troy.

I found the scattered range of visual movements. ft}Usic and sounds transla1ed the rilood in a really creative and effective way. 81mOst euphoric at times . During intermission, 1 found myself hum-ming 1he nymph· likc chants the ensemble would sing during dia· logues - partly ou1 of jest. bitt it stuck with me. The. music selec· 1ion of each scene was also cru-cial to making its overall e:itpres-sion stand out .

"Iphigenia in Aulis" focu ses on the plight of Agamemnon, king of Myfenae (Michael Brian) and Menelaus, king of Spana (Matt Hurley) , arc having in moving their ships against Troy because of adverse winds. Agamemnon is told he has -Offended the goddess Artemis, and 10 a'ppcase her he must sacrifi<;e his dauJ,hter lphi· genla (Shelly Hacco). Clytemnestra, Agamemnon"• wife (Jennifer Lyno Mefford), makes quite. the impusioned plea to spare her-dlfe, but Iphigenia decides it ia her destiny to die for hel'peoplc. •

Dialogue didn't stand out as much as the e:itplorative move-ments produced for the play. Srian may have lacked the crisp. refined physical movements required of the balle1 or dance-like gestures in the first story, but he was impres-sive. in his opening monologue with his mistress Cassandra (Jes· sica Strohfeldt) in the second. In fact. I remember thinking the physical demands placed on the actors of the soft-dance quality of the play were better suited for the Cirque du Soleil.

Brian and Hurley shared a very artistic scene where they gestured into being the beauty myth of war and even acceptance of death all set toexpre~sive music Of heroism.

Mefford did an amazing job as Clytemnestra and had very slrong believable emotions written on her fac~ even without dialogUe. Her exchange& wittt Hacco, as an equally ;impressive Ipbjgenia , were some of the most com· pelling moments in the play.

The second story. "The Trojan Women," is set in the aftermath of the Troy 's destruction. It follows the SU(Vivfng wome-"-of Ttoy who contemplate the 'meaning of their new Ii~ "* slaves. while they curse the Greeks for the things

men do for pride. tust and respec1 Menelaus explains it well when referring to Helen of Troy by sa y-ing, .. A man came to my home a~

a friend and he stole my wife from me, so I had to burn hi s country to the ground."

Though the play wenr longer than I expected, it had several poign3nt performances. Cassan· dra, pan of Agamemnon's spo1 ls of victory, was played by S1ro-hfeldt as a wild quasi-ins8ne and Oowery e:itptessiv~ character. She Stole the show for several minute~ during. a rant in which she used American Sign Language in her powerfully delivered monologue The whole play had been so phys· ically expressive that I didn ' t kn5>w she was signing un1 il halfwl\Y through her speech - 11 fil perfectly within the play 's aes· thetic.

Apparen_ily the National Center of Deafness had helped ou1 a1 nearly all the rehearsals. It paid off.

Shana Gagnon as Hecuba . Queen or Troy; ·Alice, Co.ns1antin as Andromache. l arieving widow~ and Oi_anina Cognata as Helen also gave reall)' 'good per· f011NOcea. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean lt. ·

It is unlikely to settle a ' debate among learning spe-cialists over the gcndet issue.

Sheldon ·Horowitz, direc-tor of professional services at the National Center for Learning Disabilities, said boys arc not necessarily more likely to have reading prob-lems. Instead, he suggested girls' reading· problems may be more likely 10 go unno-ticed by teachers.

"Boys who arc sitting in class and not gening it arc

goiQ& to be acting out with greater (requency than girl~

because that's not 'g irl' behavior." Horowi tz said.

Girls are more likely to si t quietly and may have ve rbal skills that make it appear as though they are understanding when tliey are not, he said.

Of the· nearly 3 million U.S. youngsters with learning disabilities. Horowitz said about 80 percent have dyslex -ia. Oiildren with the disorder

have normal intelligence but rending problems that can include difficulties identify~ ing words and leucr sounds.

Some data have suggested that male' and fCmaJe brains process reading differently, and girls arc believed to become proficient in lan-guage skills earlier.

Horowitz said there is stro ng evidence . suggesting _ 1herc arc no significant gen-der differences when it comes to dyslexia.
