Pops concert at UNC entertaining
By DAVID McIIUGH
Staff Writer
Note to esthetes: pops concerts
don't bite.
"An offense against God and
men," snorted an intellectual friend of
mine when I told him I would be at
tending Sunday's North Carolina
Symphony pops concert.
"Death to purism," I replied.
Any adult who has attained the
musical age of consent may enjoy a
pops concert, or parts of one, if the
program is like the one Gerhardt Zim
mermann conducted in Memorial
Hall.
No one is sure just how Rachmanin
ofFs Caprice Bohemien, an early
work not frequently played and less
frequently recorded, got to be
"pops." That's the beauty of these
concerts: you can play what you
please, and no one is allowed to ob
ject. '
It's a long work for pops, with
dark, moody sections of rehashed folk
melody. But the finale is a crackling
prestissimo, which the orchestra
played with decisiveness and volume.
The strings showed a fuller, richer
sound than was usual last year
broken bow hairs were even sighted in
the violas.
Zimmermann conducted with pre
cision and attention to detail,
although some wind parts were lost in
Memorial Hall's muffled acoustics
and the strings had their sloppy
moments in staccato passages.
Two French works Camille
Saint-Saens' little-heard Princess
Jaune Overture and the charming
Ravel miniature Pavane for a Dead
Princess preceded the Rachman
inoff. The orchestra may have im
proved a little since last year, but it
still didn't play the Ravel with the re
quisite sheen.

Review
The serious business ended with the
Rachmaninoff, which was followed
by a medley from The Sound of Music
the obligatory stale gumbo of once
vital show tunes pasted together with
flour-and-water transitions, or no
transitions at all.
No one seemed to object, even
when Zimmermann led the audience
and orchestra in singing "In the Good
Old Summertime."
Zimmermann bantered engagingly
with the audience between selections,
comparing Rachmaninoff to Cana
dian football, chiding folks who
couldn't remember the lyrics for the
sing-along, and inducing the audience
torsway back and fourth in time to the
music. Everyone looked like they were
having a good time, and maybe some
took time to write out a donation
check or buy a season ticket.
The performance ended with John
Phillip Sousa's Liberty Bell March.
Sniff at the sing-a-longs if you will,
but not at John Phillip Sousa. No one
will force you to listen to him again
until next year, if then. It's free,
anyway.

A new discussion forum called the Ex
change is scheduled to open in the One
West Franklin building later this year. The
essential purpose of the non-profit
organization will be to provide a place
where area residents can meet and com
municate. The broad goals of the Exchange, as
laid out by a committee composed of
Yvonne Beasley, Joe Herzenberg and Ed
ward Huggins are 1) to make space and
time available to groups and individuals
who have a need to communicate; 2) to
facilitate the process of communication in
its various forms; and 3) to provide a
balanced forum, seeing that various sides
of issues are presented.
"Say for instance, Reds was in town.
We would post as one of our evening
presentations a discussion after the movie
to share the experience," said Joseph
Sparling, a member of the Exchange's
steering committee.
People participating in the Exchange
can expect such varied activities as political
sessions, community discussions and
presentations and participation in the arts,
Sparling said. Sparling said he believes
there is a great need in the Chapel Hill area
for a place to talk. .
The Exchange will provide a unique,
although comfortable atmosphere, to en
courage conversation, he said. A menu of
events will be posted each night, describing
the different presentations which are
designed so that "various evenings appeal
to various audiences," he said.
Chapel Hill Town Council member
Winston Broadfpot was skeptical about
the prospects of the Exchange, saying, "If
there's enough interest, I'm sure it will go
over. But 1 don't think I see it."
However, council member Jonathan
Howes said, "Anything that fosters com
munication among people is bound to be
beneficial for the community."
The space that is soon to be the Ex
change, located beside Copytron, is cur
rently in the process of restoration. To
fund the renovation, donated antiques, art
objects and other items will be sold. Many
Of the larger items will be sold the weekend
of Oct. 2 at the Ranch House, located on
Airport Road beside the A&P.

Police confiscate shotgun
in Saturday night incident
By CHARLES ELLMAKER
Staff Writer
During a bottle-throwing incident be
tween the brothers of. Kappa Sigma and
Kappa Alpha fraternities Saturday night,
a KA brother fired a shotgun into the air
from his upstairs bedroom, Chapel Hill
Police Department officials said Sunday.
Kappa Alpha president Skip Smith said
Sunday that the Kappa Sigs started
throwing bottles about 11:30 Saturday
night, breaking three windows in the KA
house. The KAs then started throwing
back, he said.
"Nobody was throwing any bottles at
people, just at the houses."
But Kappa Sigma president Gene Mar
tin said the KAs were the instigators of
the incident.
"They're always starting things be
tween us and them," he said. "They
think it's cool to throw bottles. I think
it's childish."
Martin said he had spoken with Smith -several
times about the antagonism be
tween the two fraternities, but "every
time we think we've got our differences
worked out, something else happens."
Several Kappa Sig brothers said they
ignored the bottle-throwing for several
minutes before throwing back.
"We didn't do anything for a long
time, but when a visiting cadet bent over
and a bottle zinged over his back, I threw
my first bottle," one brother said.
Smith said he went downstairs after he
heard the shotgun fired.
"I was upstairs during all the bottle
breaking mess," he said. "I didn't really
think anything about it because people
are always breaking bottles in the court,
expecially after games."
When he went downstairs, the police
were already there, Smith said. "One of
the brothers had had too much to drink
and had fired his hunting shotgun into
the air from the window."
Police confiscated the shotgun, but no
arrests have been made as yet, said officer
David Hill of the CHPD.
"The police didn't get really upset
about all of this," Smith said. "They said
we could throw all the bottles we wanted
as long as no one was hurt, but the shot
gun thing was just a bit extreme."
"Mostly the bottles just skidded across
the porch and broke against our house,
but one brother was cut in the hand when
a bottle hit him," one Kappa Sig brother
said.
