6The Daily Tar HeelFriday, February
Union exhibit opens window
on artist's satirical perspective
By STEPHANIE DEAN
Stsff Writer
For the month of February, the
Union gallery will exhibit 12 works
by Tennessee artist Edward Faiers.
Enjoying a 40-year career in paint
ing until his death in 1985, Faiers was
born in Cornwall, England, in 1908.
He lived in Canada and New York
and came to Memphis, Tenn., in
1942. There he taught painting for
35 years at the Memphis College of
Art.
Among this exhibition's large-scale
paintings, there are four "low relief"
constructions. According to a per
sonal friend of Faiers, Alice Bingham
of the Alice Bingham Gallery in
Memphis, the low relief was "uni
quely his idea where he was commit
ted to modernism." It was a new way
to show perspective.
Bingham describes Faiers as a
modernist. "He defied labels," she
says. "He used elements of realism,
pop and abstractism. He created an
art form for his own style."
With his use of bold colors, distinct
lines and somewhat sarcastic subjects,
Bingham says Faiers' style did not
accurately reflect his personality. "He
The Four Corners joins the lineup
of singing groups around campus
By DAVID HESTER
Staff Writer
A new a cappella men's singing
group called the Four Corners is
beginning to make a name for itself
in the University community.
The Four Corners perform a
variety of styles of music, according
to group founder Kevin Ford, but
their repertoire primarily consists of
'50s style doo-wop songs, barbershop
harmony songs and contemporary
popular songs. The group occasion
ally does reggae numbers as well, such
as the classic "Say Once More." Ford

was very gentle and mild-mannered,"
she says. "You had to get to know
him. He was deeply appreciated by
other artists in his lifetime, but he
wasn't understood by the public."
Due to the way he portrayed
women, he was often asked if he hated
them. "He hated hypocrisy and
superficiality," Bingham explains.
One example of Faiers' negative
portrayal of women is a painting in
this exhibition in which there is a
woman holding a cocktail who has
flowers coming out of her navel.
"He had an enormous wit and
tended toward the satirical,"
Bingham says. Julie Oehler, who
helped bring this exhibition to UNC,
gave "The Prestige Hound" as an
example of his satirical comments on
society. In this painting, one sees a
woman with curlers in her hair, a
masque on her face and a diamond
on her finger, with one arm draped
about a carefully groomed dog with
painted toenails. Hidden in the corner
is a sad young girl her daughter.
The woman spends all her time
attempting to retain her beauty and
climb high on the social ladder while
said that he arranges about half the
group's material and the other half
consists of professional
arrangements.
The 10-member group has been
performing around campus since the
beginning of last semester, and Ford
said that the group will continue to
expand its on-campus performance
schedule. The group performed for
groups such as Carolina Fever last
semester, as well as for sororities and
residence halls.
Group President David Fountain
said that some of the these perfor-

neglecting her daughter, somewhat
like the Joan Crawford story.
Bingham adds that Faiers was
concerned with the issues of the time.
He made wood block prints of which
many never became paintings. "He
was truly remarkable and painted
every day," she says. "He had to
express his visions through art."
Faiers received numerous awards
and honors. He was given a retro
spective exhibition in 1985 at the
Tennessee State Museum in Nash
ville, which was also shown at the
Memphis Brooks Museum of Art the
following year. His mural of Tennes
see history, commissioned in 1979 by
the First Tennessee Bank, covers
1,600 square feet with 51 paintings.
Although relatively unknown out
side of Tennessee, since he didn't have
much opportunity to exhibit else
where, his name and paintings are
growing in stature through exhibi
tions like this one at UNC.
The Union Gallery exhibit of
Edward Faiers' works opens today.
Alice Bingham will speak more on
Faiers and his art at 5 p.m.
mances were spontaneous, with
group members arriving unan
nounced to sing outside residents'
doors. "These unannounced and
unstructured performances allow us
to have a relaxed rapport with our
audience," Fountain said, "and that's
nice."
Although the group will work in
a performance field that is currently
dominated by the Clef Hangers,
Fountain and Ford said that the
group was not specifically formed in
order to compete with the Clefs. "The
Clefs have a more professional
attitude about performing and tour
ing," Ford said, "but we are more
interested in concentrating on cam
pus performances and just having
fun.
"There are a lot of singers on this
campus, and we felt that the Univer
sity could easily support more singing
groups," he added.
Ford and Fountain said that the
group is as much a social group as
a musical one. "There's a great
diversity of people in the group,"
Ford said, "and the diversity contri
butes to the fun and effectiveness of
the group."
Ford said that the group plans on
staging its first full concert in late
April. The Four Corners would like
to add two new members before then,
however, and auditions for new
singers will be held Sunday after
noon. Ford said that all interested
men are invited to audition.

Wilson plays star role
By LANGSTON WERTZ
Staff Writer
For three years Kathy Wilson
studied two of the greatest women's
basketball players to ever step onto
the Carmichael and Smith Center
basketball courts. Wilson played
beside two Tar Heel players who
definitely made the sportwriters' All
Adjective squad, former UNC stan
douts Pam Leake and Dawn Royster.
Now, Wilson has been called on
to step out of her reserve role and
be the leader of the 1987-88 edition
of the Tar Heels.
Wilson, who was born in Tokyo,
Japan, has responded admirably.
Although she only scored 12 points
in a Tuesday night 56-5 1 loss at Wake
Forest, she tops the ACC in scoring
at a 21.2 clip. She is also fourth in
free throw percentage (77 percent);
fourth in rebounds (9.1 per game);
and second in three-point accuracy
(41 percent).
In short, Wilson has become a
superstar, but she takes all the
attention in stride.
"It's kind of awkward getting all
the press," she said, rubbing a sore,
fluid-filled left elbow after a Friday
practice. "Everybody's always mak
ing jokes 'You're the star now'
It's difficult . . . because IVe been in
a pecking order for so long with
people like Pam and Dawn. Now it's
my turn, and I dont know how to
act."
The actor Wilson almost didn't
have a basketball court to make as
her stage. In her sophomore year she
had to have a mid-season
appendectomy.
Wilson said she healed quickly but
that the surgery hurt her game. Her
mind still said go, but her body said
wait.
The surgery now a part of her past,
Wilson has since been posting big
numbers for UNC. Last year she was
second on the team in scoring, next
to the inimitable Royster, with 10
points a game.
In her senior season, Wilson, an
RTVMP major, has been on fire.
Against Georgia Tech she set the
Smith Center record for scoring in
a single game, falling just one shy of
Tresa Brown's all-time school single
game scoring record of 41.
"I don't remember it," Wilson said
of the night she bombed Tech for 40
points. "I was unconscious."
Yet for all of Wilson's heroics this
season, UNC second-year coach
Slyvia Hatchell has said that Wilson
has been inconsistent.
"I'm just not exactly sure what she
wants," Wilson said. "I think coach
Hatchell kind of gets upset, and she
says I'm too laid back."
Wilson leans forward and her voice

heightens, "IVe had a few deaths in
my family, and I cried when that
happened, and I don't feel right crying
when we lose the game giving the
same type of emotion to a lost game
as I give to a lost family member.
It's just a priority thing."
Though Wilson may not shed
many tears, she has caused a few
disappointed streams to slide down
the faces of her opponents.
Against Georgia State in the Lady
Tar Heel Invitational, Wilson nailed
a three-pointer with just 29 ticks
remaining to give the Tar Heels the
win. But Wilson dismissed her last
second heroics as merely routine.
"I was trying to run the offense,"
she said of the game-winning shot.
"I felt I could hit that shot seven out
of 10 times if I'm uncontested like
that. When people start thinking
differently, that's when you start
missing."
But Wilson hasn't been missing
much. She started target practice
years ago when she was in the eighth
grade, following in the footsteps of
her brother, Grady Wilson, who
played for UCLA, as Kathy says,
"way back when."
Wilson said she hated basketball
and played only because of peer
pressure.
"To me that was a big deal," she
said. "I was like (in a mock baby
voice) 'I don't have any friends
anyway, I guess IH try out.' "
Wilson made the junior high team
because of her height. But that lanky
13-year-old developed into a serious
talent, averaging 20 points and 12
boards per game for Walton High
School and joining Tar Heel team
mate Tia Poindexter on USA Today's
all-state team.
from Fox, and Reid scored on a
power move to make it a 10-point
game.
The Tar Heels trailed on several
occasions in the first half, the last time
at 14-13 when Dale Davis hit a shot
underneath with 11:58 to go in the
half. But a 12-2 UNC run over the
next AXA minutes gave North Carolina
some breathing room.
Fox, a 6-foot-7 freshman who had
a perfect shooting night, started the
surge with a follow shot. After Sean
Tyson missed two free throws for
Clemson, Reid drove the middle for

In high school Wilson also became
interested in architecture, an avenue
for her future that she plans to
possibly pursue once she settles down.
Wilson became so interested in
drawing houses that she almost went
to Georgia Tech to major in archi
tecture. However, she said she came
to UNC because she was treated like
a regular student.
"Nobody rolled out the red carpet
for me," she said. "A lot of people
like that, but I want to see what it's
really going to be like once I get here
. . . We slept in dorms. They treated
us like everyday people."
Being that regular student meant
meeting people, and Wilson initially
shied away from that sometimes
difficult task. She said she wore a
Sony Walkman to class every day and
couldn't meet anyone. Luckily, she
said, the Walkman broke.
"But what do I do?" she questioned.
"I went and bought another one."
Wilson speaks of a feeling of love
surrounding Hatchell's squad, which
has suffered through a myriad of
troubles this season, with academic
suspensions, injured players and one
who returned to UNC to sit out the
season after nearly transferring.
That love has allowed the players
to fight through a difficult, emotional
rollercoaster of a season. But Wilson
would also like to tackle an even
tougher battle, the 1988 Summer
Olympic Games.
"It's something I've always
dreamed about," Wilson said, a smile
slipping across her sweat-drenched
face. "In 1984 I had two friends on
the team, Katrina McClain and
Teresa Edwards. When they won I
just cried, and I knew that was
something I wanted to do."
Wilson feels she could contribute
to Kay Yow's women's team next
summer, and the former shy fresh
man had something startling to say
about one of Pat Head Summitt's
1984 Olympians and one of the
greatest women's players ever, Cheryl
Miller.
"I don't mean to be mean," Wilson
said. "But I don't think Cheryl Miller
is all that spectacular. She does things
right and doesn't make mistakes.
She's got a lot of cockiness in her
game, which is something IVe been
working on."
Wilson says she isn't thinking too
much about Olympic participation
right now. Presently, she wants to win
the ACC tourney and get a bid to
the NCAA playoffs.
It is a difficult task for the Tar
Heels. But with Kathryn Elayna
Wilson bombing treys and hitting
follow shots with equal ease, who
knows how far cockiness can take
them?

another bucket and Kevin Madden
hit a baseline jumper.
Campbell hit a short turnaround
to cut the UNC lead back to three,
but Lebo had a layup off a steal and
Pete Chilcutt knocked in back-to-back
follow tips to push the Tar
Heels' advantage to 25-16.
North Carolina's biggest lead of the
half was 36-24 when Madden hit a
layup. Chilcutt started the game in
place of Williams, who suffered a
slight knee sprain in last Saturday's
win over Georgia Tech, and missed
several days of practice this week.
