Ducklings continued from page 1 both plays are graduate students. “The whole summer theater is a student effort and was generated by the graduate students a few years ago,” faculty advisor Joseph Gilg said. “Wolf,” a work of playwright Tom McCabe, is a new spinoff of the clas sic fairytales “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Three Little Pigs.” McCabe, who wrote the production of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” that the University put on this past summer, delivers surprises and slap stick with his latest work. Even the title, which is a takeoff of Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?” suggests that “Wolf” has humor galore for both kids and adults. “The target audience is children 2 to 10, but people of all ages will enjoy the show,” director Rich Brown said. “There’s a lot of adult humor in both shows.” The plot follows Red as she skips through the woods to Grandma’s house, the Little Pigs as they build their three houses (the first two get blown down by the wolf) and a French-Canadian woodsman on the hunt for a lupine tail. Children will probably recognize the familiar characters, and adults may get a laugh out of the clever modernization of old favorites. “The wolf is really modern. We’re playing him like he’s this Bil ly Idol character,” actor Kellen Ter rett said. Terrett, who plays Cor nelius Big Bad Wolf, wears a ripped denim vest to go with his wolf ears and nose. He also puts on a languid British accent reminiscent of Idol’s “White Wedding.” Red wears a trendy, hooded fleece vest that the Wolf later com mandeers as a disguise in his quest to eat Grandma. “It’s kind of a challenge to play a little kid because extreme inno cence is a little foreign now,” actor Erica Smith said. Smith plays Red in “Wolf” and the title role in “Pinocchio Commedia.” “Pinocchio,” written by Johnny Simmons, is also a modern re telling of a classic story. “Basically, it’s the traditional ‘Pinocchio’ story with commedia dell’arte,” director Elizabeth Helman said. “Commedia is a traditional form of Italian improv theater. It is the mother of all physical comedy.” Helman enjoys working in chil dren’s theater. “Kids are the best au o UNIVERSITY OF OREGON , _, " ,, '//''"'/?% I '/ XL ' 4 ''' , 'f $&f; - ' f ', ' % ' •• '/ffiy/*/ /' Your Summer Check out the September Experience Program September 3-13,2002 roup fL unique Way toyour summer? • Want to get ahead in your course of study? • Excited to get back in the swing of classes? • Does $450 for 4 credits sound like a deal to vou? » r; '£ * J ■ to find out more about the September Experience Program.

Hearing continued from page 1 an agreement, but a policy state ment created by the University 20 years ago. The policy states that it should only stand for a period of 10 years. University officials feel the study is now obsolete. “We’ve got a study that was done a long time ago about an area that has grown and changed,” Oliver said. “Our facility demands have increased. “(The policy) needs to be changed to reflect the new realities on campus concerning growth, and that’s what we’re in the process of doing,” she said. The proposed Child Care Center would serve 120 children and em ploy 13 staff members and 15 stu dent aides, said Kent Kullby, one of the associate planners for the city. Osanka said he is not opposed to a child care center, but rather to new development in the neighbor hood. He said he believes there is no need to build because the exist ing homes on the site can also ac commodate 120 children. However, the University plans to begin the project as soon as the per mits are approved by the city. In or der for the University to obtain a conditional use permit for the site, the building plans must meet cer tain criteria, Kullby said. It’s common to apply for permits, but hard to receive them, Osanka said. If the neighborhood associa tion can show that the University should not receive the permit, the application will fail, he said. One of the criteria for the permit states that the Child Care Center must have reasonable compatibility with the surrounding area and mini mal impact on the neighborhood’s livability and development, Kullby said. This specification includes the size of the building as well as the amount of traffic it generates. Other criteria require that the de velopment maintain consistency with adopted neighborhood plan policy, Kullby said. Some neighbors have said that the Child Care Center does not meet these criteria. The University is not adhering to the specifications listed in the policy created by the University in 1982, nor does it meet the specifications re quired to obtain a conditional use permit, Osanka said. “The building is institutional in an area that was specified as medium density,” Osan ka said. “An institutional building, by its nature, tends to have a concen tration of people and traffic,” he said. Others say the University is adher ing to both the agreement and permit specifications as well as it can. “From what I have seen, the Uni versity has done a good job re sponding to the site conditions,” Architecture Department Head Michael Fifield said. “Obviously it’s trying to fit in and be sensitive. We’re looking at this according to the input we got from various sources, including neighbors.” The University is simply using land it owns to maintain a sense of spaciousness, according to Oliver. “If you actually went through the old plan, it talks about the den sity of each little area,” she said. “When you get to a certain density, it’s done. Part of the beauty of the University is the open spaces.” If the University’s application for both permits is accepted, neighbor hood association members say they will appeal to the Eugene Planning Commission. “We’re prepared to press it,” Os anka said.
