2 /The Daily Tar Heel/Monday, February 15, 1993 Tar Heel Voices, others shake ‘n stir at Pajama Jam performance By Jennifer Brett Omnibus Editor Anyone who’s taken classes in the Hanes Art Center auditorium might have wished for pajamas and a pillow the seats are comfy, and if the professor opts to turn down the lights and show slides, well, it’s all over. The Tar Heel Voices turned down the lights and brought pajamas and pillows to Hanes Friday night, but no one was sleeping. Tar Heel Voice’s a capella invita tional, dubbed the Pajama Jam, show cased vocal talent from Duke, State and BCC vin the administration who favored the >,-site behind the Union. >“lt’snotasuitablespacefortheßCC,” he said. “Why does this keep coming wup? That’s my question.” s'- Amana said he supported the Wil li son-Dey site, but didn’t suspect the pro - vost was trying to mislead the BCC’s Supporters. “I don’t think this is any sort sj>f hidden agenda,” he said.

He should have been quoted as saying, “We don’t dispute the Board of Trustees’ authority.” The DTH regrets the error.

Speak of the Devil opened the show after an introductory number by Tar Heel Voices. The dapper 13 men wear ing Duke blue blazers and khaki pants included in their set “Don’t You Forget About Me,” “Brown-eyed Girl” and “No One is to Blame.” Sweet solos and tick-tock vocal percussion punctuated the performance, and among some well placed hissing from the crowd, Speak of the Devil garnered genuine acco lades from an arch-rival audience. Rhythm and Blue, also from Duke, of the BCC Advisory Board and McCormick’s working group had agreed to submit plans for a 58,000- square-foot center, Merchant said. “We had a plan done that set the square footage at a decent size,” she said. “All of a sudden (last week), there was another plan. Now the number be ing talked about is 45,000. If he can get the number down to 30,000 he can get it beside the Union.” Merchant said BCC advocates re peatedly had asked UNC officials to drop the site behind the Union from consideration. In addition, Merchant said BCC ad vocates weren’t interested in the site where the late Sally Mitchie’s house now stands. Mitchie died last year, and UNC officials plan to take over control of the property, located on South Co lumbia Street behind Hanes Art Center. Although UNC officials have not removed the Mitchie house or the Union site from the list of possibilities, McCormick said he didn ’ t support build ing the BCC at either location. “There is no one I know of that sup ports either one of those sites,” he said. “I think I’d know if someone in the made appearances at both the 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. shows. The first performance especially was strained by overzealous back-up vocals and futile stabs at hu mor in between songs, but the soloist who sang “Have a Heart” redeemed Rhythm and Blue’s shortcomings, smoothing over some notes with the ease of wispy silk and attacking others with the abrasiveness of sandpaper. Seven men from the Grains of Time, anN.C. State University acapellagroup, made two unofficial visits to the stage both at 7 and 9. THV member Thomas King twice coaxed the croon administration favored those sites.” Members of McCormick’s working group now must decide what to include in their final report to the chancellor, expected later this month. While mem bers of the BCC Advisory Board want the report to recommend only the Wil son site, McCormick said he would support including information on both the Wilson and Coker sites. Coker site called “magnificent” McCormick and Gordon Rutherford, UNC director for facilities planning and design, said in a joint interview Friday that they supported building a BCC on the site between Coker Hall and the Bell Tower, located directly across South Road from the Wilson site. A free-standing BCC would look out of place at the Wilson-Dey site, they said. “That site is the last remaining major building site on northern campus with out demolishing buildings,” Rutherford said. “That adds some consideration. And then you look at how big a building that can support. It certainly can sup port a building much larger than the proposed BCC.” Hie SauUiern Dining.

They rocked the audience and earned the first stand ing ovation of the evening with “Life is a Highway,” and perhaps elicited a tear or two with “Don’t You Cry.” One soloist challenged Lorelei Sacha Pow ers with “I Want You Back.” The song, which Powers sings at Lorelei concerts, BCC advocates have said they be lieve the Wilson-Dey site’s location on the main quad was crucial to the success of a free-standing BCC. McCormick, however, said he be lieved the Wilson site would not suit the BCC, which he said probably would be less than 50,000 square feet in size. “I don’t think that’s the place to put it,” he said. “I concur with Gordon the place across the street provides a magnificent site.” But Amana said the Wilson-Dey site was preferable because of its central location and feasibility, while the Coker site would require a more complex struc ture. “The (Coker) site is a very deep site which is hard for some people to envi sion being acceptable for a building,” he said. “It seems that it would require a much bigger building to have any presence there.” Rutherford said Wilson Library would make the BCC look unimpres sive if it were built alongside the his toric building. “Wilson Library is a dominant, mag nificent building,” he said. “If you think about putting something next to that, REQUESTING: NOMINATIONS FOR CHANCELLOR’S UNDERGRADUATE AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN STUDENT ACTIVITIES & LEADERSHIP Nominations are encouraged from all members of the University Community Senior Awards Primary Area of Achievement Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award humanitarian contribution (one male, one female) Irene F.

When the Loreleis took the stage, however, comparison to other groups vanished. “In the Air Tonight” had a sultry feel, as soloist Rachel Stone pen etrated the near-silence of hushed back vocals with tense, somber tones. Emily Munro meshed a mellow accompani ment with Stone, and the two voices floated flawlessly together like a butter fly- In the following number, Munro you don’t want to compete with that.” Rutherford, a veteran planner who has worked at the University for almost 20 years, said he didn’t understand why the BCC advocates wouldn’t be satis fied with the site beside Coker Hall. Two creeks flow through the slanted, wooded site. “I would enjoy the opportunity to have an objective discussion about what that site could mean to the BCC in comparison to across the street,” Rutherford said. “Someone has said that that’s a hole in the ground. But it’s a beautiful site right in the center of cam pus. “When we prepare to make a recom mendation to the trustees, we are not responsible to our tasks if we don’t open our eyes.” BCC not informed early of conflict with sciences building The provost said he shouldn’t be blamed for the recent revelations about the science building’s claim to the Wil son-Dey site. Administrators didn’t release public statements last summer about the po tential conflict, even after more than 100 BCC supporters held a symbolic groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting by Campus Calendar MONDAY 3 p.m. University Career Services will offer in formation on internships in 306 Hanes. 4 p.m. UCS will sponsor a Careers in Broadcasting panel in 210 Hanes.

The jam was perfect for Valentine’s Day weekend, including songs from all groups that both extolled the virtues of romance and bemoaned the ache of a lonely heart. Nearly every group made a stab at Valentine’s Day, and whether the audience brought their Valentine sweeties or came alone, everyone shared the same love of a capella music. from page 1 Wilson Library. The provost said he knew of the plan for the sciences building but didn’t re gret his silence on the matter. “Suppose Chancellor Hardin or someone in his hated administration had rained on that parade,” McCormick said, responding to an editorial in Thursday’s Daily Tar Heel that criti cized the administration for not inform ing BCC supporters earlier about the sciences building. “I remember the groundbreaking well. I remember think ing whether we should issue a state ment. Well, I thought ‘no.’ That would have been very badly received.” McCormick instead opted to deal with the issue gradually through the negotiations initiated by his working group. “I think that was a much better way to break the news than literally in the middle of the summer with heavy ten sions,” he said. “It would have been a huge slap in the face to do what this editorial said.” Because no funding has been se cured for either the BCC or the sciences building, no plans are final, McCormick said, adding that if others supported the Wilson-Dey site, then it still would be considered in the final report.
