Special to the Ranger News&#13;
"The Scarlet Letter" has&#13;
been called the greatest novel&#13;
ever written in the Western&#13;
hemisphere. The story brings a&#13;
woman named Hester Prynne to&#13;
America in colonial times. She&#13;
leaves her husband Roger&#13;
Chillingworth behind, only to&#13;
fall in love with a man named&#13;
Arthur Dimmesdale with whom&#13;
she has a child named Pearl.&#13;
Hester lives in sin for the&#13;
remainder of her life wearing&#13;
the scarlet letter "A" on her&#13;
gown to stand for Adulterer.&#13;
The Nathaniel Hawthorne's&#13;
work has now been turned into a&#13;
play by contemporary play-&#13;
wright Phyllis Nagy.&#13;
English Literature Professor&#13;
James&#13;
S.&#13;
Dean commented&#13;
on&#13;
the most noticeable changes.&#13;
The adaptation by Phyllis Nagy&#13;
takes the focus of the playoff of&#13;
Hester, and places more empha-&#13;
sis on the other three characters.&#13;
Dean notes the length of the&#13;
play versus the novel as a major&#13;
difference. Not just in page or&#13;
time length, but in the obvious&#13;
changes that a play brings. The&#13;
playwright must focus on divid-&#13;
iog the story into scenes, and&#13;
shortening the dialogue. Dean&#13;
stated, "There are no&#13;
long narra-&#13;
tives, and a lot of things have to&#13;
stand for something else."&#13;
Symbolism is another&#13;
important aspect that Nagy uses&#13;
to emphasize the various&#13;
themes. For&#13;
example,&#13;
Dimmesdale and Chillingworth&#13;
both have heart problems in the&#13;
play.&#13;
It&#13;
literally represents med-&#13;
ical problems, but figuratively&#13;
represents both characters diffi-&#13;
culty&#13;
in&#13;
dealing with love.&#13;
Another change in the play&#13;
is the role of Hester's daughter,&#13;
Pearl. The script calls for a&#13;
twentysomething actress to&#13;
play the part of a seven-year-old&#13;
girl. Nagy gave Pearl a second&#13;
function as the.chorus in the&#13;
play.&#13;
Therefore, Pearl had to be&#13;
mature enough to understand&#13;
and discuss the issues at hand.&#13;
An adult portraying Pearl may&#13;
be more believable given the&#13;
perceptions the playwright gives&#13;
her character.&#13;
Dean also noticed Nagy's&#13;
similar portrayal of the colonial&#13;
Salem, Massachusetts, setting.&#13;
However, the play uses contem-&#13;
porary dialogue which 'tints the&#13;
historical setting of the play.&#13;
Dean comment; on the&#13;
adaptation of the play by saying,&#13;
"It&#13;
is an updated version of it,&#13;
and has a modem slant on the&#13;
situation, it's a modem play."&#13;

Of the Ranger News Staff&#13;
Luis Venevoglienti  is running  for the&#13;
Segregated  University  Fees Allocation  Committee&#13;
Member-at-Large  seat in the coming elections.  To&#13;
qualify for the seat, a student  must have a 2.0&#13;
grade point average, be in good standing at the&#13;
University,  and be carrying  6 credits.&#13;
Venevoglienti,  who meets the criteria, was the&#13;
chair SUFAC in 1997 and worked hard on orga-&#13;
nizing the SUFAC committee.&#13;
The SUFAC committee,  which is part of&#13;
the Parkside Student Government  Association&#13;
(pSGA),  is responsible  for the budgeting  and allo-&#13;
cation of segregated  fees that come out of student&#13;
tuition and pays for student  programs  like the&#13;

service and other at Parkside.&#13;

student programming  at Parkside.  The PUAB&#13;
member-at-Iarge  also is on the Food Service&#13;
