Entertainment P.O.V. Debut LP Have you been looking for a group that will give you a refreshing slant on the youthful sound of Black America? Peep no further than P.O.V. Never before has a young R&B act personified the funkiness and hip ferocity that this quartet lays on the table. That's probably because none have embodied the true musicianship, soul and grit that is P.O.V. The name means point-of-view, a new direction in street-edged music guided by group members Hakim "HB" Bell, Lincoln "Link" DeVlugt, Mark Sherman and Ewarner "E" Mills. The message is true to the game, a lesson in urban sensuality that P.O.V. brings to life on their debut LP, Handin' Out Beatdowns. The album itself is a slam dunk , of higher education, with most of its 5 14 cuts written and produced by P.O.V. The group moves sensually and deftly through the album, from,' rump-shakers like "You Got What I Want" and "Good Lovin'" to quiet stormers like "Sitting Here Waiting" and the explicitly provocative "Let Me Do You." Of course they couldn't leave well enough alone, so P.O.V. members l-r Link, "E", "HB*\ and Mark. there are a few treats like the open er, "All Through The Night," that are laced with the gemstone vocals of Jade. On other tracks, like'Tell Me" and the first single, "Anutha Luv," P.O.V. extols what amasses to what has become Giant's key to radio and chart dominance: slam the jams, keep it contemporary, and go buck-natty as needed. Sticking to this theory of musical evolution has allowed P.O.V. to break on the scene wrecking shop- a past time that has grown into the group's aca demic pursuit. NCSA Performs "Frankie and Johnny" The North Carolina School of the Arts will perform the play "Frankie and Johnny" April 8-10 in the Arena Theatre, performance place on the NCSA campus.

Murray Abra ham in the lead roles. It was recently made into a movie with A1 Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. McNally won a dramatists Guild Award for the play, which -New York Post critic dive Barnes -called a "... very sweet, extraordinar ? ily-furmyrTomantie-find fibaki come * dy . . ." The play is about a waitress and a short-order cook who form an unlikely liaison. This becomes the basis of a richly told, poignant story about the beginning of a relation ship.
