i LH n r r ""m y r -1 iiirim uf Page 4 Opera Recital Mezzo - soprano, Beverly Wolff, one of the most excit ing new stars on the Ameri can operatic and concert stage, will present a recital in Memorial Hall on Wednes day, March 8, at 8:00 p.m. Her appearance here is being sponsored by Graham Memo rial and the Chapel Hill Con cert Series. The balcony will be reserved for UNC students. The tickets, which are 50 cents, are on sale at the Gra ham Memorial Information Desk. RARE QUALITIES Though Beverly Wolff's rare qualities have been well known in musical circles ever since she won the Philadel phia Youth Contest in 1952, she came into her own as a vocalist of national reputation reputation with her 1963 ap pearance as Cherubino in the New York City Opera' Com pany's production of The Mar riage of Figaro. Praise for both her singing and acting was lavish; the critic for the New York Times thou ht Miss Wolff's performance "a main reason for the success of the success of the evening." This triumph was followed up by a similar coup in the role of Erika in Samuel Barber's Vanessa, which some critics sugested could well be Harn ey "Erika" to do injustice totenSe REAPED GLORY Vanessa is a contemporary opera, and contemporary op era is a field in which Bever- Cab-Hailing An Art If he can help it, no traveler in his right mind will attempt to hail a taxicab on the streets of New York City. He will be subjected to a flood of humanity or in humanity seeking to steal the cab he has hailed. To make things worse, New. York is one of the few cities or towns in the world where you can't phone for a cab, unless you're a hotel guest. The ploy is to enter a ho tel, walk out through the ma jor entrance,- and tip the door man to get a taxi for you. If there are none on the stand, he will call one. The Carolina Motor Club re ports that hailing a taxicab in the major cities of the world requires a certain know - how, and sometimes, infinite pa tience. In Tokyo, it is wise to know which type of cab to hail. They come in three sizes small, medium and large and in three price ranges. The larger the cab, the higher the price. Once inside the cab, you may wish you had not had the temerity to hail it in the first place, because you will get the feeling the driv er took his road lessons from a kamikaze pilot. When you get out at your destination, your relief will be heightened by the fact that he will re fuse any proffered tip. AAA's Rome office reports that if you hail a cab on the streets of that city, you will ost likely get a "bootleg" xi, one not officially li cehjed and therefore not feel ing b6undto -stick, to the prop er rates. The "official" cab invariably heads for the near est taxi stand after he finish es the trip at hand. You will recognize the official cab by its distinctive dark green col or with black trim. In Mexico City, you need not wait for an empty cab. If you see a partly filled cab ap proaching along a main route, and if the driver has his left arm out the window with a finger pointing skyward, he isn't signally for a turn. It means he is operating as a eilMLII QYliD AND FATHER L1ALG0LL1 D0YD SATURDAY, MARCH 11 MEMORIAL HALL Charlie Byrd, a rare breed of musician, has emerged on the American scene as a guitar giant . . . paradoxically, equally convincing as a brilliant jazzman and as one of the world's great classical performers. Byrd has recorded tastefully swinging, melodical ly imaginative small combo jazz and also performs impressive recitals of sixteenth century guitar music. Father Malcolm Boyd, author of "Are You Run ning With Me, Jesus?," was ordained as an Epis copal priest in 1955 after a successful career in advertising and television. TIME magazine re ferred to him as "Chaplain-at-large to U.S. uni versity students." Father Boyd came into the entertainment spot light more recently with his engagement at San Star To Present Here Tonight ly Wolff has reaped especial glory. The difficult lines and unfamiliar harmonies which prove a nemesis to many fine singers are no problem to this many-sided musician who was during her high school day first trumpeter with the Atlanta Symphony. She has done a number of Menotti roles and starred with the NBC-TV Opera Theater in the premiere of Leonard Bern stein's Trouble in Tahiti. SANG 'CARMEN' After a series of guest ap pearances with the San Fran cisco Opera, the Santa Fe Op era and the Washington (D.C.) Opera Society, Beverly Wolff returned to New York in 1965 to sing Carmen for the City opera. She had previously appeared opposite Richard Tucket in the same role in At lanta, and the great tenor re marked after the performance that Miss Wolff was absolute ly one of the finest interpret ers of that difficult character that he had heard. ORATORIO SOLOIST Though her recent fame has centered on the operatic stage, Miss Wolff is equally accom plished as an oratorio soloist and song recitalist. In 1962, the year of her "Figaro" de but, she also presented a New York recital works of Brahms, Schumaand Wolf- wmcn was one oi me season s outstanding musical events. Her singing in Rossini's Stabat. Mater in Lincoln Center the following year was described as absolutely ravishing, and pesero jitney and has (room tor one more, ncn passenger on such . jitney ride pays a peso, about 12 pays a peso and a half cents. In Rio de Janeiro, if there isn't a meter in the cab, hag gle before you get in. If there is a meter, watch it. Make the driver turn it on and consider yourself an experi enced tourist if the driver will settle for what the meter shows at your destination. In Peru, you hail a taxi in much, the, same way as you summon ' a waiter in certain tJaribbean areas by hissing. Of course, you can also use the time-honored method of waving your arm frantically, but the loud hiss works just as well. In Washington, D. C, where taxicabs sometimes seem more numerous than pedes . trians, you seldom have trou ble finding a hack except at the peak of the rush hour or if there is a slight runt of moisture in the air. At those times they seem to vanish like a hive of drones and work- ers following the queen bee. The cabs in Washington that look most of all like taxicabs the airport cabs can't pick up up in Washington at all, unless you're headed for the airport. Neither can cabs from Maryland nor Virginia, both contiguous to the Dist trict of Columbia. Jitney rid ing along the main streets in the rush hour is, however, an accepted practice. Not accepted practice in Washington is the regulation requiring that the rooftop light be left on when the cab is empty, and off when it is en gaged. This is perhaps one of the most widely - ignored regulations in the annals of taxicab licensing. One thing you won't need to worry about in the Nation's Capital is your driver's tak- ing a circuitous route to build up a fare. The cabs are not metered, and fares are charg ed on a zone basis. You pay a set charge from address to address, no matter how far the cabbie goes out of his way to get you there. she appears a mezzo-soprano soloist on the recently releas ed Columbia recording of that oratorio.

Hailing from Swanage on the south coast of England and educated at Oxford, he came to UNC last year on a Rotary International Fellow ship to study history. Rich ard teaches Modern Civiliza- tion and has served as pres- ident of the Cosmopolitan Club this year: Richard believes that time spent in classes could be de creased in favor of a higher standard of performance on assignments. "At Oxford and Cambridge lectures are not compulsory. At other British colleges where they are com pulsory the load is lighter." Before going to Oxford Rich ard served two years with the British army. At Oxford he rowed in The College VIII,' sang in the Bach Choir and gained a reputation as a mim ic. Leaving Oxford with his B.A. he taught for two years at a secondary school in Northern Ireland. He now likes Guinness stout but still knows no Gaelic. Irish his tory, he says, makes him sad. Richard gets mixed reac tions when he mentions Ox ford. The usual American re action disturbs him. "It's giv en us a lot of cheap success I'm not happy with." Richard explained how the British system of education YflUEQQ 942-5578 i Or tennjj i Pizza TAR Briefs present problems in training pledges. The group will then break up into smaller discussion groups to discuss "how to eliminate abuses of present trainees and channel the train ing into more useful and crea tive lines," said Lindsey Free man, past IFC president. "We are hoping," Freeman said, "to get from this session a fruitful sharing of ideas." GRAD INVITATION Graduation invitations for seniors will go on sale March 7, 8, and 9 in the Y Building. The sale, sponsored annually by the Order of the Grail, will be held each day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The invitations are of four varieties. The most popular style a simple folder an nouncement is priced at $.16 1-2. The remaining three varieties are known as sou venir invitations and include several photographs of the campus together with the com plete commencement weekend schedule. These come with cardboard, imitation leather and genuine leather covers privec respectively at $.40, $.80, and $1.25. Personal cards can also be obtained at the sale next week. Invitations are expected to ar rive around the first of May. Proceeds from the sale go: to the University's scholarship and loan funds. Anyone hav ing questions should contact David Kiel, invitation sale chairman. differs from the American. "America educates a big ger slice of the population. Some of the people in U. S. colleges would be grocery boys in Britain." The concept of "getting on" seems to be different in Britain, and Brit- ish parents aren't so con- cerned with the education of their children. Asked if he thought Com munists should be kept from .speaking on campus, Richard no t fhinv thev should be ignored. By making it an issue it becomes more im portant than it should. We have fewer Communists in Britain thatn we did in 1920. We've never persecuted them we let them shout on Hyde Park corner. It makes them feel good." : Richard described the ra cial situation in Britain as more complicated than in America. In Britain there are West Indians, Pakistanis and Indians, who are little under stood by each other, or by the native Britains. These mi nority groups are exploited by their white landlords and hampered by their self-im-poesd ghettoes. "The American racial situa- ' tion involves an underlying skin color prejudice but in dividually the different races seem to get on quite well."

THE FIRESIDE GIRL OF THE WEEK LIZ SCOTT, DKE Sweetheart from Nashville, Tenn., stops traffic in a bright orange and green jungle lounging outfit from THE FIRESIDE. Noel Dunivant, UP candi date for vice president of the student body points to the need for reform in education, the residence college system, university - state relations and communication in reply. Both a Morehead and Gen eral Motors Scholar from Whiteville, N. C, Dunivant cites grade pressures brought to bear upon students as the cause of student reactions in the form of suicides or drugs, or in the form of drinking or dropping out of school at the other extreme. Turning to the residence col lege system, Dunivant places the blame for its undeveloped potential "on the current ad ministration's lack of support and enthusiasm for the pro gram. His goal would be to estab lish a system such as the ones in practice at UMass or Har vard. Ceiling limitations im posed by the state he said are also hampering the system, and he proposes to better University - state relations.1 "The shortcomings of stu Coeds Seek Image By Associated Collegiate Press Coeds enrolled in the Uni versity of Minnesota Institute of Technology (IT) are unit ing to erase their "slide rule, glasses, walking computer" image, reports the Minnesota Daily. To achieve recognition as "normal students" instead of campus oddities, the coeds hope to establish an all-female IT "society" which will work to improve the male - female ratio, according to Jan Schwarz, IT sophomore and Engineer Day Queen. The sales pitch for enrollment in IT and a science career is ex pected to be directed at the high school sophomore, to give her time to plan her program to meet IT entrance require ments. Seventy - five women and 3,308 men are enrolled in the Institute of Technology. This ratio may seem advantageous but ,said freshman Sue Nel son, "most of the guys just look at you as if they're won dering, 'What is she doing here?' I suppose most people think we're in IT to catch a husband. For most of us, that's the thing furthest from our minds." Anticipated competition keeps away many coeds, Miss Schwarz said. "Most people think the IT girl is a real brain, a walking genius. Be cause many girls are afraid to compete against this im- . forcswi 3 ,JLA mm i Tuesday, March 7, 1967 dent government's program of bettering University - state re lations is evidenced by the Speaker Ban, the Paull case, and UNC's recent budget cut." While at UNC, Dunivant has served as legislator from Eh ringhaus, and as a member of its Finance Committee. He led the State Student Legislature as chairman, and was a delegate to both the Reidsville and NSA Regional Conferences. Dunivant has. also been a member of the freshman honors program. He hopes to bring "imagi nation and creative leader ship" to the problems he sees ahead for Carolina. "The Vice President is in an excellent position to pro mote student expression and legislative action."

Dean Paul Cartwright attributed the sparsity of fe male enrollment partly to the "strong Scandinavian back-' ground of the state. Many women are brought up to learn the home - centered skills cooking, sewing and the value of a liberal arts education," he said. Miss Nelson was enthusias tic about increasing opportun ities for women in govern ment work and technical writ ing.
