Modern Modern English came to The Brew ery in Raleigh, or uRyeleewas lead singer Robbie Grey pronounced it, Wednes day night and scorched the audience of college students at the sold-out 7:30 p.m. performance. A second show was added due to the high demand for tickets, but judging from the first concert, Modern English held nothing back for the 10 p.m. performance. Although the band's abundance of energy radiated through the small nightclub, the musicians also had to endure some problems. Grey had to constantly towel down the sweat on his face in the steamy club between songs . and seemed restrained by the smallness of the stage on which all the instruments and amplifiers lay. Obviously, he has not been to Cat's Cradle! The group was also besieged by other problems, such as the back drop curtain falling down in the middle of a song, microphones toppling over, and instru ments set to a too high volume level. All these negatives come with the small gig territory, but they did' not bother the crowd. The energy and closeness of the small group definitely outweighed the small problems of this night. The opening band was Three Hits, but they couldn't live up to their name. Not that they were really bad, it's just all 1 1 songs sounded the same, and so one really couldn't pick out three songs to put on vinyl. Still, they had a nice strong sound and didn't bore the Defunct art sale to be revived By JAMES BURRUS Staff Writer Looking for something to decorate that bare wall or to place in that empty corner? The Undergraduate Art Asso ciation's Student Art Show and Sale might be of some help. Artists will be showing and selling their work Satur day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the sidewalk beside Hanes Art Center. According to Chris Neumann, co president of the Association, more than 20 artists will be there presenting over 200 pieces. , "Different types of art will be avail able, including sketchings, prints and drawings," said Terri Martin, co president of the Association. Prices will vary depending on each artist. "The Association has left it up to the individual how to present and sell his work," said Neumann, a sopho more from Durham.

Finally it was time for Modern English, the group from Manchester, England, to appear. Dressed in black, the band members came on stage as Grey pleaded with the crowd, "Don't you ever change. Just stay the same." The crowd would change, though, over the course of the night. Most of the audience did not know anything about the group except their hit "I Melt With You" from the movie "Valley Girl." This crowd, however, learned that Modern English is not a one-song band. The group played most of the songs off their new album, "Stop Start," and sales in the area should pick up significantly. The band started out with the title track of "Stop Start" and then played some songs off previous albums, "Hands Across the Sea," and "Richochet Days." They even played one from long ago, 1980, called "Gath ering Dust." The most impressive songs off the recent album, "Ink and Paper" and "The Border," also came across superbly live. Dunne "The Greatest Show " sax purposes of the Art Show and Sale is for the artist to get some idea of how to sell his work and how others approach it, he said. Prices are expected to be low, however, to stay within students' budgets. The money raised will be used to help pay for materials, according to Marvin Saltzman, faculty adviser of the Asso ciation. "Some of my students pay up to $200 a semester on materials," said Saltzman. To be a member of the Undergrad uate Art Association a student must be enrolled in an art class. However, to participate in the Association's Art Show and Sale the only requirement is to be a registered student at UNC, according to Neumann. The purpose of the show is not only to give artists an outlet to display their work, but to also "enhance the art department and art building and V 5UUJ i HERE a7l UPSILON Mit $250 TIL 6:00 PM EVERYDAY? 3:30 5:10 7:00 8:30 Cs t i L. 7:20 9:20 SHELLEY LDWG ? s r i LJ r i A UNIVERSAL Picture e m wwimtt cm ctuokm. mc 7:10 9:10 1 PU-I3 I "N cooks m an incubator player Steve Tenor came on stage to play and gave the song a different flare. Of course, the band could not leave without satisfying the wishes of the crowd, and finally played "I Melt With You" as the band and audience sang the chorus and melted under the intense heat that felt like being in an incubator. Afterwards the crowd clapped and begged for more as the people outside waiting for the next show must have felt they were going to get their money's worth if they ever got inside. The band members powwowed together, took a couple of drags on some cigarettes, and decided to play two more new songs, "I Don't Know the Answer" and "Breaking Away." Ending at 10, they had to break away to get ready for the next show and rest from this one. , The most interesting character of the whole night was not the skinny Grey, who acknowledged his slimness by saying "Does this look like a guy who eats hamburgers?" tugging at his loose trousers, but rather the lead guitarist Gary McDowell. First of all, McDowell really shouldn't be called a guitarist but rather a sound effects artist. He does not play chords, but rather creates a variety of sound effects with his assortment of foot pedals and other guitar aids. He combined with key boardist Aaron Davidson to produce the band's distinctive sound. Davidson increase campus awareness of art," said Neumann. Martin, a junior from Charlotte, added, "It (the show) could improve the art department, plus students need to know there is talent on campus." Neumann is one of the artists selling his works Saturday. Neumann works with spray paints by "taking symbols out of the environment and working with them," he said. Spray paints are a different medium to use. "They don't look like brush marks, they don't touch the canvas, and they give effects that oil can't give you, such as a mist of a color when the can is held away from the canvas," Neumann said. This is the Association's first art show in a decade. The Association has been in existence since the 1930s, and the fir YOU HEARD IT RIGHT!

McDowell's garb and look were puzzling. He looked nothing like the rest of the band members, except for the fact he wore black. He looked like Ron Howard playing Satan. The shape of his face and the shade of his red hair was reminiscent of Richie Cunningham, while his long, red, frayed hair and short, red, shaved beard, except for three strands of whiskers at his chin made him resemble an Angel of Hell. With his black beret he looked like Glen Miller, leader of the White Knights in North Carolina. He also wore a small ring in his nose and a. tiny tatoo of a cross on his forehead. Truly a different character from the rest of Modern English, but without his sound the group would not be as successful as it has been and would not have made it over to Raleigh. There may be still another chance for Triangle fans to see Modern English. Rumors have it that they will be playing at Duke's Springfest today about 1 p.m. WXDU, Duke's campus station, would not officially confirm the report, but said posters saying Modern English is playing should be believed. What all this neck talk means is that if you missed Modern English Wednesday night, you have one last chance. Saturday shows used to be an annual event held on the sidewalk across from Hector's, according to Saltzman. In the 1970s the show expanded and joined with the Chapel Hill Recreation Commission to form Apple Thrill. However, all the publicity was given to the crafts and knickknacks of the Commission, and no mention was given to the art show and sale. The students were run off their own property, said Saltzman. Students are once again in having the sidewalk Art Show and have found a place of their own to hold it the sidewalk beside Hanes Art i Center. Shows in future years are still questionable.

Hassel said he believed the student protests and the shanties had forced the endowment board to meet and possibly make a decision on full divestiture. "But like in the past, there's not a good chance they'll divest," he said. "But it's not like there's no chance at all." The shanties should come down after the board makes its decision, Hassel said, but it's unlikely that the students Ivey's plans to build By LAURIE MARTIN Staff Writer Construction will soon begin on a new Ivey's department store to be located in South Square Mall in Durham, according to James H. Shaw, president and chief executive officer of Ivey's Carolinas. The new store, scheduled to open in October, will cover 120,000 square feet. According to preliminary plans, the store will be built in two levels, each with an adjoining parking deck, and will include an Arthur's restaurant. "It has been something people have wanted for a while now," said Jim Clark, manager of South Square Mall. Ivey's will be the third department store in South Square, besides Penney's and Belk. lJfj.Jt3 UI.

"The shanties are a symbol of the injustice of the investments, and if the board doesn't vote to divest, they (the: Anti-Apartheid Support Group) will want to keep them there. "It is a victory in itself that they are having this meeting," he said. "By making their voices heard, the students have put divestment on the agenda," Hassel said. fourth Triangle store Neither Clark nor Ivey's officials said they felt the business of the University Mnll ivey's in Chapel HiU would suffer because of the new store. "Chapel Hill's store has a pretty loyal clientele," Clark said. "(Ivey's) feels very strongly about the Triangle area and looks forward to being a part of Durham's exciting, fast growing economy," Shaw said. "We anticipate our store will provide jobs equalling 150 full- and part-time associates," he added. "South Square will now be able to attract people who have not been able to find Ivey's in Durham," Clark said. Ivey's Carolinas has been in opera tion since 1900 and now has 14 stores, 12 in North Carolina and two in South Carolina. n 1 1 :30 Fri. & &L.
