Parker said the original seating plan put some students in "nosebleed" territory, but Mike Vandenbergh, Student Body President for 1982-83, worked on a plan that eventually received the support of Smith, Swofford and Fordham and got the student section moved out of the heights and put behind the backboard. According to the letter written by Parker and Edmundson, "The problem is simple: both sides want the same resources. The students don't like the idea of losing the prime seat positioning that the bleacher section provides and getting moved to the corner. The Educational Foundation needed an attractive pack age to offer donors to get the facility built in the first place. Students seek to ensure, a very real homecourt advan tage by providing tremendously spirited cheering behind the Carolina bench." As of right now, the actual number of student and faculty seats has not been changed, and there has been no question of changing it, Swofford said. "The Educational Foundation will receive roughly 9,000. seats, the students will receive between 8,500 and 9,500 seats, and the faculty will receive about 4,000 seats," Swofford said. If the proposed change in student seating is made, the Educational Foundation will still have six out of eight courtside sections and, according to the letter, "the students will be satisfied, being placed behind the Carolina bench where they will feel as ov NS Ja J if they are taking an active part in the game." Until the committee makes a deci sion, "we're just waiting for an answer," Parker said. "The student body hopes it will be able to support the new facility's opening when construction is completed."

Glassmoon is not a new band. The first version of the band played local bars from 1974 to 1978. In 1979, new personnel re-established the group and recorded the album Glass Moon, which went to 114 on Billboard's chart and included the popular "Killer at 25" and a remake of Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill.? A second album, Growing in the Dark, was released In 1982. It took the band to 33 on the singles charts with "On a Carousel." The group then disbanded again. After working with The Fabulous Knobs for over a year, Glass Moon founder Dave -Adams recorded a demo tape in Chapel Hill in early 1983. Scouted by record companies, Adams agreed to a contract with MCA and put together the current lineup of the now one-word Glassmoon. The new lineup includes "Young" Bob Patterson on bass, Douglas Morgan on drums and Rod Dash on rhythm guitar. Adams, though, is the creative energy driving the band. Aside from singing lead and playing keyboards, he co produced and wrote all the songs for the album. "It was a good experience," Adams said in a telephone interview, "but it was a lot of work." Recorded in Bath, U.K., with the assistance of David Lord, who has produced Peter Gabriel, Tears for Fears and others, Sympathetic Vibrations marks a departure for Glassmoon from hard guitar work to a light British sy nth sound. "The music scene is just much more conducive to creativity over there (in Britain)," Adams said. "They encourage you in Britain not to sound like everyone else." Not surprinsingly, though, much of Sympathetic Vibra tions sounds glossy, contrived and very much like everyone else. . . "You Turn My World" has a Howard Jones feel to it, and "Cold Kid" sounds like Phil Collins with Simmons electric drums. ' Adams said the name of the title track came from the idea of molding different styles of music. The only problem is that Thomas Dolby techno-snaps, pops and sax lines mixed with commercial American music like that played by The Producers sounds awfully packaged and out for a buck. Adams all but admitted this. He said he admired both Duran Duran and The Culture Club because each has proven itself in the market, and he wouldn't mind if Glassmoon were compared to either band. Sympathetic Vibrations does, however, contain a few worthy tracks. " ... And the Rain" and the single "Day After Day After Night" both have pretty melodies and "Jungle Song" captures what Adams called "the sadly romantic dreariness" of England's weather. It will be interesting to see if Glassmoon opens up its sound performing live or if band members will be pre occupied keeping an eye on the money box at the front door.
