, At the first meeting of the Old
East Okl West task force this semes
ter, members heard proposals by
. University-hired architects about
alternatives for renovating Old East
, and Old West residence halls.
But the task force made no
.decision about renovating the build-
ings. Director of Housing Wayne
Kuncl said after the meeting Friday.
Kuncl said he didn't know when
,the task force will be prepared to
.make a recommendation to the
University's Building and Grounds
. committee.
"I'd like to see the task force make
a recommendation by this fall, he
said. "But there's really no big rush,
except for the fact that some of the
members will be graduating this
year.
At the meeting Friday, U niversity
employed architects presented six
proposals for renovating the build
ings to the task force, which is
comprised of five students and four

administrators.
After the task force recommends
one of the architects' proposals, it
will be sent to the University's
Building and Grounds committee for
approval. Then the proposal will be
sent to Chancellor Christopher
Fordham and finally to the Board
of Trustees.
"The purpose of the meeting was
to educate the task force members
on how feasible each of the proposals
are," Kuncl said. "The architects
presented the members with a com
plete report, including costs, of each
one."
Kuncl would not release copies of
the architects' report.
Since all the task force members
were not at the meeting, Kuncl said
he will hold another meeting Friday
to discuss the architects proposals.
Six members of the nine-member
committee were present.

"Concert" is not quite the word
for a Clef event. Perhaps "show" is
a more fitting word, as the 12 Clefs
indulged in numerous comedy rou

The musical portions of the program
really were better than the connec
tors. The boys are all incurable hams,
but they are also very good singers.
Ensemble, intonation and musicality
are never significant problems at Clef
shows.
Variety of programming is no

force's three proposals sent to Dodge
and Associates architects last
November.
"The architects made just a few
minor changes to the proposals the
task force came up with last fall,
Clark said. "They did a good job of
keeping to our original plans."
The first proposal suggests that
renovators add sinks to each room,
install overhead fans, add tempera
ture controls in each room and make
the first floor of each hall accessible
to handicapped students.
The second proposal calls for
removing the walls that separate the
first-floor sections of the buildings,
so residents can pass between the
sections without going outside.
The third proposal suggests that
the buildings be used as living areas
for outstanding seniors. The task
force suggested that towers and
rooms be named after past important
figures in the University's history,
and that historical displays and
pictures be added.

dal," which featured a solo by bass
David Venable, to an a cappella
arrangement of "The Lord's Prayer,"
with all sorts of songs in between.
Musical highlights included that
Clef standard "Somebody Steal My
Gal," preceded by a Miss N.C. State
pageant which bordered on tasteless
ness, and an uptempo version of
"Blue Moon." Also very good were
"Moondance" and the spiritual
"Ride the Chariot."
It seems that the Clefs have beefed
up their selections of slow songs. The
program included such serious tunes
as "Aura Lee""When I Fall in Love "
and "Georgia on My Mind," which
featured a solo by baritone Todd
Carter, also the tune's arranger.

Critically acclaimed filmmaker
Ross McElwee told a capacity crowd
in the Union Auditorium Friday
night that his film "Sherman's
March" is "a film about the difficulty
of making relationships work."
McElwee discussed the artistic and
technical aspects of "Sherman's
March" during an hour-long ques
tion and answer session with the
audience, and he also discussed his
views on a variety of other topics.

Clef Hangers do not merely sing;
they introduce every song with a
story or skit. These non-musical
portions of Friday's program were
not as uniformly successful as the
musical segments, although there
were some very funny moments. One
of the problems with the interludes
was overkill. A case in point was the
takeoff on T.V. game shows entitled
"The Price is Too Much." Some of
it was amusing, but it just went on
'til the cows came home. That brevity
is the soul of wit became obvious
at several points in the show. In
addition a few of the Clef jokes were
not exactly baked fresh on Friday
morning.
Naturally, some of the Clefs are
funnier than others. Two of the
evening's funniest moments were
largely due to the talents of bass Vic
Spangler, a lanky sophomore from
Charlotte. His magic trick, the
disappearing pitch pipe, was classic

Union Film Committee and the Fine

special showing of the film.
"Sherman's March" is an autobi
ographical account of the romantic
relationships in which McElwee
became involved as he traveled
around the South. McElwee noted
that he "ran the risk of solipsism in
this type of film." He said that this
problem about the proper nature of
the relationship between a filmmaker
and his subject "is at the crux of
documentary filmmaking," but he
said that a filmmaker must take

His Run-D.M.C. takeoff with senior
Doug Schmidt was a highlight of the
evening and an audience favorite.
Other Clefs notable for their
comedic skills were diminutive
Durral Gilbert and red-haired David
Moffitt, both juniors and tenors.
Likewise, some Clefs tended to be
sentimental. In the middle of a song,
senior Jeff Sluder cut off his fellow
singers to launch into an emotional
farewell speech. The audience cer
tainly sensed his genuineness, and
the comaraderie of which Sluder
spoke is one of the secrets of the
Clefs' success. Sluder's farewell to
Clefhood took the form of a reprise
of the song he has long sung with
the group; Billy Joel's "For the
Longest Time."
As always, the Clefs called all
alumni of the group to the stage to
join in on "Carolina Victory" and
"Hark the Sound" at the show's end.
chances in order to successfully
describe his life and the lives of
others.
McElwee said that originally he
didn't know what form his film
would take. He said that he made
decisions about the nature of the film
while making it, and that the nature
of the film was not completely
decided until he had edited 25 hours
of film into two and a half hours.
Although "Sherman's March" is
not meant to be any kind of soci
ological overview, McElwee said, it
is a distinctly Southern movie.

Saturday. The festival featured dancing, food
and displays from about 50 cultures.
More alumni than usual attended
this special anniversary -performance,
and they took over the stage
for a special encore. The current
dozen then returned dressed in
makeshift barrels to sing
"Naturally."
The Clefs' image has undergone
some significant changes even in the
last few years. Popularity has taken
its toll on the special charm they had
before, and has introduced a notice
able cockiness and self-indulgence in
their style. The boys have allowed
their group to become a commercial
entity, complete with multiple spon
sors and plugs for T-shirts.
After all, though, they really are
pretty cute, and yes, they can sing
and otherwise entertain an audience.
Only time will tell what the next
decade holds in store for this group.
One can hope they will continue to
build upon the strong foundation the
first decade of experience has laid.

McElwee, a native of Charlotte, said
that he "wanted to make a film that
wasn't condescending towards the
South." McElwee also discussed his
views on the characteristics of the
South today, and he described the
Southern experience as "the Amer
ican experience distilled and given
a cue-ball spin."
McElwee described the filmmak
ing process by saying "you make a
film from inside yourself . . . You
get a neuronic, obsessed need to say
something about the world, and it
is very gratifying when an audience
appreciates what you do."
Responding to a question about
the future availability of "Sherman's
March" on home video, he said that
he is particularly disturbed by the
growing popularity of this new
technology. "I hate video," he said.
"Sherman's March' will not be
released on videotape if I have
anything to do with it." He explained
his objections to home video by
saying that there is something
important about "people in a big,
dark room watching 40-foot high
faces on a screen."
"This is vanishing from the Amer
ican landscape," he said, "and that's
very sad."
