Entertain Students Informally
By SONIA MIZELL
The Union lounge was the scene
last Thursday afternoon of an in
formal concert conducted by
Musician-in-Residence Raul Spi
vak and his Ensemble class.
Accompanying Mr. Spivak were
Dr. James Kuppers of the Chem
istry department on the flute, and
Bob Ennis, an Engineering student,
on the violin.
These three instruments pro
vided an excellent combination for
the prc^ram which consisted of
a Sonata by Vivaldi, a Concerto
by Vivaldi, and Musica da Camera
by Haydn. Dr. Kuppers performed
a flute solo of the Bach Suite in
B Minor.
Mr. Spivak began the informal
concert by explaining to the forty
to fifty students present that the
trio performing at all that is left
of an orchestra he tried to begin
last fall. He explained that the
conflicts in schedules were too
great for them to continue.
At the end of the concert. Dr.
Kuppers encouraged any interested
students to think of gettingtogether
a small chamber orchestra and
later maybe enlarging it to a Uni
versity orchestra.
Another informal concert will
be given this spring, probably on
May 8.
Mr. Spivak, who came to us from
N. C. State University, will be
leaving us next month. His resi
dency here has been filled with
concerts, both formal and in
formal, for both the community and
the University. We truly owe him
a debt of gratitude.

An act which promises to end

Bill Billups Receives SGA Award

Convocation, Wednesday, April 24.
Teachers Of Excellence
Award To Be Presented
UNC-C students are being given
the opportunity to make nomina
tions for the first NCNB Distin
guished Teaching Award which is
to be presented to a UNC-C faculty
member in the fall of 1968. North
Carolina National Bank grants will
make possible an annual recogni
tion of teaching excellence at UNC-
C.
The 1968 award is expected to
carry a remuneration of $1,000.
Initially the awards will be for
excellence in teaching, but even
tually faculty members may also
be honored for distinguished re
search and scholarly writing or
significant service to the Uni
versity and to humanity.
A ten-member committee — five
students and five administrative
and faculty members — will make
the final decision concerning the
recipient. The committee believes
that students can provide the most
objective and most accurate ap
praisal of teaching excellence;
therefore, students are being asked
to propose names for the con
sideration of the committee.

a faculty member may do so by
