'Indigo Girls' sing what they feel
By ALSTON RUSSELL
Staff Writer
Singing about "love, peace and
religion, but in an indirect
manner." Atlanta's Indigo Girls
will return to Chapel Hill to open
lor John Hiatt at Cat's Cradle
Sunday. This young female duo
mixes acoustic guitar melody with
harmonizing vocals.
The Girls are Amy Ray, 22, and
Fmily Saliers. 23. In a recent
telephone interview. Ray des
cribed their sound as a
progressive-folk creation. All the
songs they perform come from
original material written by both
Ray and Saliers.
"We sing a lot of angry love
songs," Ray said. "We want
people to feel like they can express
themselves."
Ray expressed the duo's con
cern about being typecast as a
Joan Bae spin-off. "We're not
sappy, corny, hippy musicians,"
Ray said. "We just have a lot of
things to say, and we say them."
According to Ray, English
acoustic groups have influenced
the Girls' musical style. She said
Saliers looks to Joni Mitchell
while Ray looks to artists like
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions
and Aztec Camera.
Ray said stage presence proves
to be the Indigo Girls' attracting
feature, according to reviews. She
described their show as very high
energy. They often perform a
cappella songs at their shows.
"We're real intense about it," Ray
said.
The duo has often played in
Atlanta music clubs such as the
former 688 Club and Little Five
Points Pub. They have also
performed in bars in Pennsylva
nia. South Carolina, and
Tennessee.
Ray and Saliers opened for the
Pressure Boys at Cat's Cradle
earlier this year. "Wc would like
to make Chapel Hill our concen
tration for the next few years."
Ray said. She described Chapel
Hill as "a place where our music
is appreciated."
The duo. has released an EP
titled "Indigo Girls" and a single
entitled "Cray Game." Bass and
percussion accompany the guitars
in the recordings.
As for future aspirations, Ray
stated that they are currently
searching for a record deal with
an independent label.
The Indigo Girls began singing
together in high school, entering
talent shows and playing in local
bars on the weekends.
A standard dictionary pro
vided the name for the band.
Indigo is associated with old
Indian lore in the form of dye and
crops. This Indian mystique
accounts for their choice of
"Indigo Girls" as the band name.
Ray seemed very excited and
confident about their upcoming
show at the Cradle. To her
prospective audience Ray said,
"(Jive us a chance because we
think youH like us."
Indigo Girls w ill perform Sun
day at Cat's Cradle. Call 967-9053

two husbands and enough stressful
situations to daunt even the most
self-reliant modern woman.
"Lu Ann learns to take respon
sibility for her life and make cho
ices." director Craig Turner said.
"She learns to make her own way
without having to rely on men. The
self-sufficiency she gains is not just
economic but also spiritual."
An important aspect of Lu Ann's
character is that although circum
stances force her to make her way
alone, she does not view herself as
a persecuted woman. She does not
bemoan her fate or wallow in self
pity. Instead, "she accepts the
responsibility willingly, and with
great pride and spirit." Turner said.
"If there's a problem, she tackles it."
Written in 1974. "Lu Ann" is the
most modern of the three repertory
plays. According to Turner, it is also
the most American and the most
comic. "This show has the west
Texas sense of language and cul
ture." he said. "It has a very Amer
ican spirit. 'Lu Ann' offers the story
of a woman who is growing up as
America grows up."
In each of the three shows in this
year's Playfest. the main character
is a female who. due to various
circumstances, is forced to examine
her life and ask herself if she should
become more actively involved in
order to control her own future.
The major players in "Lu Ann"
will include Melissa Proctor as Lu
Ann Hampton, Brian Hotaling as
her brother Skip, and Dede Corvinus
as her mother Claudine Hampton.
Demetrios Pappageorge will play Lu
Ann's first husband. Dale Laverty.
and David Whalen will play her
second husband. Corky Oberlander.

Hae midterm exams and papers
turned you into "Oscar the Grouch?"
Are you living proof of the numerous
ill effects that stress has on the body?
If so. give yourself a night of comedy.
Lots of laughter is the main
ingredient in UNC's American
Advertising Federation Comedy
Night from Charlie Goodnight's
tonight at 8 p.m. UNC-AAF is
holding the event in 106 Carroll Hall
and tickets arc still available at the
I Inion. Howell Hall office, and at
the door before the show. Tickets
are $5.
"We're getting some of the best
comedians, and the opportunity is
great having it on campus rather
than having to drive to Raleigh,"said
Kim Baddcrs. president of the UNC
AAF. "It's really going to be a lot
of fun."
Three comedians, all of whom
have entertained at Charlie Good
night's, will perform: Ron Shock is
a part of the "Texas Outlaw Comic."
Dan Zinski does impressions, and
Frank King is the emcee.
F.rin Hendrix. treasurer of the
UNC-AAF, said that the people at
Charlie Goodnight's have been
extremely helpful in putting together
the Comedy Night. The event is the
l!NC-AAF's third fundraiser to
obtain needed funds for a district
campaign competition to be held in
Richmond. VA. on March 20.
The club is presently writing their
campaign for the product of the
competition, the Chevrolet Cavalier
Z24. "Writing a campaign is expen
sive."said Hendrix. "Production and
presentation costs have had some
schools spending $2500 in the past.
We're also trying to send 15-20 of
our members to the competition."
UNC's chapter of the AAF has
been in existence since this past fall.
Once the chapter got started, it has
been involved in public service
campaigns for non-profit organiza
tions such as the United Way, has
brought in speakers, and has hosted
a meeting of their sponsor group, the
Triangle Ad-2.
A membership drive is scheduled
for April and the UNC-AAF hopes
to attract anyone interested in
advertising, including journalism,
RTVMP. and business majors.
Reflecting on the work the club has
done since its start, both Badders and
Hendrix agree that there has been
an incredible amount of work asso
ciated with being a first year club.
"I can't wait to come back in 10
years to see how things are going,"
Badders said. As far as the current
progress of the chapter is concerned,
Badders said. "We're so excited
about what the club is doing and
we're proud to be representing the
university. We're going to do UNC
proud "

Business Majors Invited To
Career-Planning Presentation
iiuiiiimuif"
By Patrick Tillson
LT U.S. Navy Supply Corps
The career path fol
lowed by most business
students is to go directly
from campus to corpora
tion. A career-planning audio-visual
presentation of
the Navy's Supply Corps
questions whether that
path is the best one for am
bitious students.
According to this pres
entation, global experience
gained in the Supply Corps has been a major
factor in the exceptional success of top business
and financial executives, such as:
James D. Robinson 111, Chairman American
Hx press
Kdward Carlson, former ChairmanCEO of
UAL Inc.
William Marriott, ChairmanCEO of Marriott
Corp.
James Ketelson, CEO Tenneco Inc.
Robert I. Stewart, President Liberty National
Life Ins. Co.
John J Pruis, Vice President corporate relations
Ball Corp.
The success of these and many other prominent
executives may be explained in part by experi
ence not taught in classrooms or learned in most
entry-level positions. This experience includes:
learning to work with people, development of a
global perspective, management techniques, and
postgraduate education in business comparable
to an MBA.
Supply Corps officers don't
command ships or gun batteries.
As the elite business professionals of the. Navy,
Supply Corps officers manage one of the largest,
most complex business operations on the globe.
Tvo Career Possibilities
Business students accepted for commissioning
in the Supply Corps have two options.
1 . The Supply Corps as a career.
2. Return to a civilian position after a tour of two
to four years. Under this option, students
would be trained for positions which otherwise
would not be offered to them.
Business students may find out if they qualify
to join the elite business professionals in the
Supply Corps by attending a career-planning
presentation entitled "The United States Navy
Supply Corps. The Business Professionals of the
Navy."
This presentation will be conducted by LT Pa
trick Tillson one time only this semester at 4:00
p.m. Wednesday, March 4, in Room. 209 of
Hanes Hall.
