(AP) — She came out of the tav ern sobbing, her head buried in her husband’s chest. “Please, please don’t do this. Please, Mr. Taylor, buy me, too,” Lucy begged the landowner who had just paid 62 British pounds for her husband, Daniel. The white slave traders stood impassively as the black family was broken apart. Behind them some 3,000 people stood silent and uneasy. When the re-enactment of a day in the life of Colonial Williamsburg was over, some in the audience Monday were weeping, too. Among them was a civil rights activist who had denounced the re-enactment beforehand as trivializing black history. ‘T would be lying if I said I didn’t come out with a differ ent view,” said Jack Gravely, Virginia political action direc tor for the NAACP. “The presentation was passionate, moving and educa tional,” he said. The auction was one of the most controversial re-enact ments that Colonial Williamsburg had attempted, and it drew a smattering of sign-carrying protesters to the tourist community of restored 18th century houses and shops. While organizers at Colonial Williamsburg said the re enactment dramatized the horrors of slavery, some com plained that it cheapened history and dealt with an episode too painful to handle in a theater-like production. “This is pure and simple entertainment, making money off people's oppression,” said Andrew Highsmith, a student from Cincinnati. “It’s not showing the true history of what it was like to be a slave. Where is the story of people who fought back?” Larry Earl, an actor who has taken part in several re-en actments, said that in one recent show, a slave was depicted killing his abusive master. “There were two forms of resis tance against slavery, and we showed both,” he said. The slave auction was based on a real-life experience: In 1773, slaves Lucy and Daniel, both house servants, were sold to separate owners. Sukey, a laundry woman, met a kinder fate. Her husband, Johnny, was a freed slave who managed to buy her for 42 pounds. Christy Coleman, who portrayed Lucy, emerged before the presentation to calm the spectators. “They were getting very angry very quickly,” Coleman said of people gathered on a cobblestone lane by the Wetherburn Tavern. “This is important because it human izes slavery; it puts a face on what happened.” “I felt this was nothing more than a show, not an authen tic history,” said Curtis Harris, of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. 8>C JsjATION Americans honor* s <jay • O Gilman and Rodbell receive Noli Prize for discovering G-proteirs STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two Americans, Alfred G. Gilman and Martin Rodbell, won the Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday. Gilman and Rodbell received the award for their discovery of "G-proteins and the role of these proteins in signal transduction in cells,” said a statement from the Nobel Assembly at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute. Gilman, 53, was born in New Haven, Conn. He currently works in the department of phar macology at the University of Texas, in Dallas. Rodbell, 69, is from Baltimore. He works at the National Insti tute of Environmental Health Sciences, in North Carolina. According to the statement, the scientists made a “para mount” discovery that helped sci entists understand the way cells communicate with each other. The scientists found that G-pro teins act as “signal transducers, which transmit and modulate sig nals in cells,” the statement said. They found that disturbances in the G-proteins’ functions — too many or too few of them — can lead to disease. Gilman and Rodbell found that, in some common diseases, such as diabetes and alcoholism, there may be some symptoms that are due to "altered signaling via G-proteins.” The two scientists found that “mutated and overactive” G-pro teins are found in some tumors, the statement said. The scientists chose the name G-protein because they “bind” guanosine triphosphate, or GTP. The scientists made the discov ery while working separately in the 1960s and 1970s. Rodbell and his team was working at the U.S. National In stitutes of Health at the time of the discovery. Gilman was work ing at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville.

Tables 119-A Zachry The whole idea of talking about ‘lovestyles’ stems from the fact that people can and do love romantically in different ways. Many of us know that things that are important about roman tic relationships to one person may not be to another. People share different, similar and sometimes opposing attitudes to ward love. John Alan Lee studied major conceptions of love that have evolved in the western world over the past 2,000 years. He described his findings by de scribing a typology of six types of love portrayed in a closed cir cle, analogous to the colors on a color wheel. “The color of love” theory holds that there are three primary types of love and three secondary styles that are transformations of the primary types. Susan and Clyde Hen drick then developed a scale to identify these six love attitudes so that they could be linked to other variables. What follows is a brief description of the six lovestyles: Eros is an expression of ro mantic, passionate love. The erotic lover is sensual, and be comes involved and committed quickly. Physical intensity, hon esty, and openness characterizes the Eros relationship, and healthy levels of self-esteem al low erotic lovers to focus on each other exclusively but without possessiveness or jealously. Ludus is a contemporary ex pression of the European courtly love that was developed into a rather skilled art form in preced ing centuries. Love is viewed as a game, and the goal of the ludic lover is to play artfully, with no involvement and no hurt feelings with either partner. Ludic lovers like a variety of physical types, and are happiest when they are involved with several partners in ongoing relation ships. Storge is a friendship-based love. It develops when two peo ple have known each other for a long time and do not so much fall in love as grow into love. There is no preferred physical type, and storgic lovers share in terests, and activities rather than intense emotions with their partners. Mania (Eros+Ludus) trans forms erotic intensity and ludic game-playing into a possessive, dependent, moody type of love. The manic lover yearns for love, yet expects it to be painful. There is no preferred physical type. Mood swings and physical symptoms are typical, as well as a rear of loss of the partner that fosters the kind of jealousy that can sabotage a relationship. Manic lovers have been found to have a low sense of self-esteem. Rarely does mania end happily. Pragma (Ludus+Storge) com bines storgic stability with a lu dic, non-emotional approach. The pragmatic lover goes “shop ping” for a suitable mate, and may prosper by using a comput er dating service. A genetically compatible partner is more im portant than a physically ap pealing one. Agape (Eros+Storge) has the intensity of Eros and the sta bility of Storge. Agapic love is more cognitive than emotional, and is an “all dying love” that takes no thought of the self but only of the beloved other. The true agapic lover is somewhat rare. Is there a style of love that describes you fairly well? Re- Lev Killers,” search conducted by the dricks has shown that many lege age women tend to be matic, manic, and stori whereas most college age tend to be ludic. Basical women seem to be relati 1 practical, but can alsobeidi tic and emotional. Men, oi other hand, generally tab more casual approach toll By being aware of the varii types of love and by explt our own needs and wants t cerning romantic relationsk: we can become more sophist::; ed in our love interactioi which will hopefully reduce large numbers of love misraal es and the resulting miseries love.
