( 4The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, October Course shows as American By DICK ANDERSON Staff Writer It's trivia time, kids: who was the first star of an animated cartoon? Mickey Mouse? Close, but no cigar. Scooby-Doo? Get outta here. Gertie the Dinosaur? Bingo. ...Gertie the Dinosaur? Indeed she was. The year was 1914 and the animator was Winsor McKay, as any student of David Haynes could tell you. Haynes, a graphic artist and animator for the RTVMP depart ment, is the instructor of "Animated Film: a Short History of Cartoons," which meets at 7 p.m. Mondays in Room 1A in the basement of Swain Hall. The one-half credit course is free and open to the public. The purpose of the course is "to make people aware of animation as a unique American art form," Haynes said. The course is two-thirds film and one-third lecture. Haynes unspools classic cartoons spanning nearly 70 years and follows each film with a discussion of the techniques used in creating these six-minute master pieces. "I've never until this semester taught animation from a historical ap proach," he said. Haynes, who describes himself as "passionately interested" in anima tion, first took a serious interest in the medium while a student in graduate school. There he began making Super 8 animated films. "I was pretty dissatisfied with the quality and the dig tributing factors to the Indians' disappearance in the early 1700s. The Occoneechee tribe came to the Hillsborough area from Virginia in 1680 to escape the continuing raids by the Seneca tribe to the north. The Occoneechee was a hunting and gathering tribe that lived in circular, straw-covered huts, usually in groups of 20. The village was often surrounded by a palisade of logs on one side and a river on the other. At the time of the Occoneechee's disappearance, about 30 Indian tribes existed in North Carolina a total of approximately 35,000 Indians. The Oc coneechee tribe was a minor tribe, with the Cherokee and the Tuscorora being the largest. "The Indians were under a lot of stress from other tribes and the Europeans by the late 1600s," Dickens said. "The Europeans brought diseases and disrupted the structure of the Indian society by increasing trade activities."

Available 11, J983 animation art form image," he said, and soon found himself making 16mm films at con siderably greater expense. ' "Ultimately I would like to make a short animated film (in 35mm) 30 minutes of quality animation," Haynes said. Haynes said his knowledge of car toons comes from reading books on the subject and from seeing every animated film he can. With the use of a special projector, Haynes slows the film down for further analysis. Although the class offers students on ly half a credit, "I treat it like a three hour course," he said. The approximately 20 students in Haynes' class are mostly RTVMP ma jors, and many of them are there for similar reasons. "Like any American kid, I've always loved cartoons. This class is a good chance to see the classics," said Peyton Reed, a sophomore RTVMP major from Raleigh. "(Animation) is what I live for" said Gertie Cleese, a senior RTVMP major from Cherryville. Regarding the current state of the art, Haynes said, "There's a lot of . good animation on TV in advertis ing. Animation costs too much to make (on a large scale), and conse quently not as much is being made." Haynes will be teaching the course again in the spring and is also in terested in teaching people how to do animation "on a simple level." "Animation," Haynes said, to be a labor of love." 'has From page 1 "The social organization broke down because the In dians began" to neglect their hunting and gathering patterns in order to trade furs for European goods." John Lawson, an English surveyor and botanist, passed through the Occoneechee village in 1720 and predicted that the tribe would soon die out. The village population was slowly dwindling and could not sustain itself. "We are trying to determine what factor had the most impact on the village and caused it to disappear warfare, trade activities or the diseases," Dickens said. Dickens expects the investigation at the site to take several years. "We have to recover a lot of micro-data to be able to reconstruct the patterns and how they were changing." "We dig in the summer and do lab work in the fall and winter. For every hour spent in the field, it takes at least five to six in the lab."

The orginal 007 'Never Say Never' By IVY HILLIARD Staff Writer The real James Bond is back, and many Bond aficionados feel it's about time. The return of the original 007, Sean Connery, in Never Say Never Again is a boost to the Bond genre, despite some disappointments in the film. Review Connery, who last played Bond 12 years ago in Diamonds Are Forever, looks fit and trim and moves with the same air of invincibility that made him famous in the first Bond pictures. At 53, he is ac tually several years younger than the "other" Bond, Roger Moore, and with the help of a toupee he seems to have aged little. Because Connery once vowed never to play 007 again, the title of the new film is a play on words. In Never Say Never Again the free world faces the ultimate nightmare of nuclear terrorism. SPECTRE, the special executor for counterintelligence, ter rorism, revenge and extortion, abducts two armed U.S. warheads and holds the world hostage with them.

FOOOS Word of By DAVID SCHMIDT Assistant Arts Editor The popularity of Jaco Pastorius is spreading fast by Word of Mouth the jazz bassist and his band recently returned from tours in Japan and Europe to make the second stop on their current U.S. tour in Chapel Hill, performing today at 7:30 and 10 p.m. at Rhythm Alley. "It's going to be a combination of jazz, funk jazz and fusion jazz," said Peter Anlyan, booking agent for Rhythm Alley. "He has the reputation of being real live ly and spontaneous." Despite the name of his band, the basis for the bassist's reputation rests upon his fingertips and not his lips. Nevertheless, his credits speak for themselves. Jaco Pastorius, his debut solo album named after the native Pennsylvanian who moved to Florida and became an ar ranging and composing teacher at the University of Miami, received two Grammy nominations in 1976. . Pastorius conducted the university's big band before a local concert by the pioneering jazz ensemble Weather Report in 1966. He later joined the group, earning another Grammy nomination in 1977 for Heavy Weather. They finally hit the big time with 8:30 (co produced by Pastorius), which won a 1978 Grammy as the Best Jazz Fusion Performance. Pastorius himself was named number one jazz bassist by Guitar Player Magazine that same year. "We went after Him on the ctrcnoth rf what he's Hrn of Mouth, returns wealthy Largo, played by Klaus Maria Brandauer. Bond, who has been sent to a spa to get back into shape, accidentally stumbles into the operation. He is called back into action and his double-0 license to kill is reinstated. When Algy the Ar morer (Alec McCowen) gives Bond his new assortment of spy gadgets saying, "I hope now we'll have some gratuitous sex and violence," the laughter from the au dience is as much in anticipation as appre ciation. What follows is intrigue that leads Bond to the Bahamas, the South of France and South Africa, pursued by deadly assassin Fatima Blush and wooed by the lovely Domino, Largo's reluctant mistress. Director Irvin Kershner, whose credits include The Empire Strikes Back, brings high energy and wit to the film. His goal, he has said, was to make the movie fun. Although the script by Lorenzo Semple Jr. is too much a copy of the Bond film Thunderbolt, there is still a lot of fun. Highlights include a spectacular motor cycle chase, a fist fight with a mountain sized SPECTRE killer, and a vicious shark attack, for which Connery was filmed with real tiger sharks. The locations are also in the Bond tradition, exotic and amazing. Major se UNC Riding Club will meet at 7 p.m. in the Union. Members must attend. Final details for Ferrum Show will be made.

Mouth performs tonight good entertainment quences take place in an opulent casino, where traditional gaming rooms exist side by side with the ultimate 3-D video game. The world's most expensive private yacht 285 feet long, 45 feet wide and three stories high was also used for the first time on film as Largo's base of opera tions. Its luxuries seem pure fantasy except that they really exist. The cast of Never Say Never Again is exceptional compared to recent Bond films. Connery's more down-to-earth Bond has terrific wit. Even though the movie passes up the opportunity to por tray an aging Bond who succeeds in spite of himself, Connery's delivery, style and way with the ladies is irresistible. He can make an audience forget any other Bond. Brandauer, star of the Oscar-winning Mephisto, is an excellent Bond villian. His role as Largo is a big change from performing the classics in European theaters, where he made his name, but he handles it well. As the naive Domino, Kim Basinger is a step in the right direc tion away from the stereotyped Bond bimbo. Her sensuous beauty and cool elegance are complimented by competent acting. But the scene stealer is Barbara Carrera as the. deadly Fatima Blush. She slaps men around and tosses poisonous snakes with equal pleasure.

Word of Mouth was a critically acclaimed album Pastorius released last year. Its newborn namesake band features, in addition to Pastorius, Mike Stearn on guitar, Alex Foster on saxophone, Kenwood Dennard on drums, Ron Tooley on trumpet, Randy Emerick on baritone sax and Don Alias on percussion. The ensemble accustomed to playing in large arenas like Tokyo's Budokhan Hall, Yokohama Stadium and Los Angeles' Dorothy Chandler Pavilion will play in Atlanta before stopping in Chapel Hill on its way to Washington. "I've been talking to his management, and they're really up for it," Anlyan said. "I told them we had a small place (200 capacity), I mean real small we're talking small.!' Anlyan added that he believes playing before a small, comfprtable audience is something Pastorius and his band enjoy. Anlyan said he expects mostly "hard-core" jazz fans to attend the performance. "Jazz is mainstream for some people," he said, "but it's certainly not Michael Jackson." Pastorius' most recent album, however, may get the message across it's titled Invitation. Tickets for Jaco Pastorius and Word of Mouth cost $12.50 and are available at Rhythm Alley, Oxbow Music and Record Bar in Chapel Hill. Call 929-8172 or 929-7637 for more information. boyant costumes and feline viciousness make the audience want to see more. Likewise, Edward Fox, last seen in Gandhi, appears as a rather stuffy, disagreeable "M" who is a thorn in Bond's side, and Bernie Casey plays Felix Leiter, Bond's American sidekick, who turns up just when he's needed most. Both Fox and Casey bring charisma to small roles. What the movie really screams for, however, is the traditional Bond music. Since this is an unauthorized Bond film, the original music could not be used. The new soundtrack is satisfactory but it lacks the energy of the old music. The film also runs a little long two hours and 15 minutes. Some of the stunts and scenes are trite and could be cut to make the film move more quickly. But overall this Bond movie is good en tertainment. Connery has said this will be his last 007 picture, and Octopussy was reportedly Roger Moore's last stand. So the role could be up for grabs for the next 007 feature, planned for 1985, and sug gested candidates range from Tom Selleck to Richard Chamberlin to Mel Gibson. But Connery and Moore should both know by now that it's wisest never to say never. The Blood mobile will be in the Great Hall from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.
