American Indian students
have little incentive to attend
UNC because most of the
minority programs on campus are
directed toward blacks, according to
Kalam to take conductor's baton
at UNC symphony season debut
By CARA BONNETT
St3ff Writer
".the UNC Symphony Orchestra
not only opens a new season of music
but also welcomes a new conductor
wjth its first performance this winter
on Tuesday night.
I, The 8 p.m. concert in Hill Hall will
feature Copland's "An Outdoor
Overture," Brahms' "Fourth Sym
phony" and Faure's "Pelleas and
Melisande."
It will be the orchestra's first
performance under the direction of
Tonu Kalam, new associate professor
of music.
Kalam, a graduate of Harvard,
University who received his master's
degree from the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley, has been involved
in music since his childhood. His
father played the violin and con
ducted, and his mother, a pianist, was
his first piano teacher. "I got a lot
of exposure at an early age to live
music to rehearsals, to chamber
imisic, concerts, radio, records,"
Kalam said. "It was quite an immer
sion that one couldn't escape, and I
never thought twice about it. It was
Kennedy
crowded," he said. "I was shocked for
three or four days. I couldn't do
anything."
Afro-American studies associate
professor Sonja Stone was a graduate
student at Atlanta University.
"It was unfortunate because we
cpnsidered him a progressive presi
dent. He made a commitment to
eradicate poverty. He started the
Peace Corps, and he had a good
relationship with major civil rights
leaders, in particular Martin Luther
King," Stone said.
' 'But Stone said the people she was
with then were not overly grieved.
I Douglas Long was in the middle
bf teaching a class at the University
bf California-Los Angeles when he
heard the news. "It became very
'difficult to continue with the lecture,"
he said. "After the thought began to
sink in, I couldn't finish teaching.
Everyone was too upset."
Long, assistant chairman of the
XJNC philosophy department, said
people were shocked, regardless of
their political views. "People were
yisibly upset. It became very difficult
jfo function for the rest of the day."
People felt his death as a personal
tragedy, even though it was a national
event, he said.
George Lensing was a graduate
student at Louisiana State University,
where classes were canceled after the
assassination.

In addition to conducting the UNC
Symphony, Kalam also teaches
conducting classes and coaches a
chamber group, conducts the Long
view Symphony Orchestra in Texas
and the New England Chamber
Orchestra in Boston and serves as
executive director of the renowned
Kneisel Hall chamber music school
and festival in Blue Hill, Maine.
He said he prefers the academic
setting to the professional one
because of the politicking in the
professional world. "I look around
and see professionals at various levels,
and I see a lot of nonsense ... a lot
of extra-musical stuff that really is
disturbing," he said. "I see problems
with unions and subscribers and
trustees and players' committees and
so many things that impede the
music-making that you don't have in
a university setting."

of commitment and enthusiasm in the

Anticipating turkey, cranberry
sauce, sweet potato pie and
vacation from school are all
reasons for students to enjoy
Thanksgiving. But many students
and campus officials say Thanksgiv
ing means something more special.
"We use Thanksgiving as a day to
get together with special friends and
enjoy each other's company,' says
Dean Richard Cole of the School of
Journalism. He says he will have 14
people visiting him over the holiday.
"Some of them dont have fami
lies of their own, others cannnot be
with their families for various rea
sons," Cole says "We all get together
to have fun, food and fellowship."
Zenobia Hatcher-Wilson, the
director of Campus Y, says Thanks
giving is a time of renewal.
"I really feel an obligation to give
back something to others," Hatcher
Wilson says. "It is a time for us to
American Indian students are the
main goals of the Carolina Indian
Circle, which has about 25 active
members.
"I don't feel that the University is
doing a reasonable job for other
minorities," said Mansfield, a junior
gradually pull up the level. I think
it is all up from here."
Kalam stresses interaction between
players and music in his conducting.
Players "have to use their ears to listen
to other sections and other players.
It's just not good enough to follow
the baton," he said.
In addition, Kalam said he does
not believe in conducting to record
ings for practice because that is
following, not leading. "There's
already another person between you
and the score, and you're learning
somebody else's idea of the piece
rather than forming your own based
on your study of the score, your
knowledge of the style of the period,
the composer, the background
there's no substitute for that."
The UNC Symphony Orchestra
will perform Copland's "An Outdoor
Overture," Brahms' "Fourth Sym
phony" and Faure's "Pelleas and
Melisande" on Tuesday, Nov. 22, at
8 p.m. in Hill Hall Auditorium. The
event will be free of charge and open

Rule and Judiciary Committee
Chairman Gene Davis, a junior
speech political communications
major from Raleigh, says he became
interested in researching the true
origins of Thanksgiving last year. "I
became interested in what Thanks
giving really was a harvest for the
Pilgrims after a long period of
suffering.
"Since there are a lot of people
out there doing without, we should
evaluate our own position and see if
there is any way we can help
improve the situation of our fellow
human beings," Davis said. "Then
we should really honestly and earn
estly give thanks for what we have."
While many people are concerned
about others, some people are just
happy to be around their own fami
lies. Jay Rosenberg, chairman of the
philosophy department, says the
political science major from Gasto
nia. "There are only 128 American
Indians at UNC, 66 of which are
undergraduates."
Mansfield said members of the
group were concerned about these
low numbers for several reasons,
one being the high dropout rate for
American Indians. The University
has no way of knowing how many
of those 66 undergraduates will
remain in school here, he said.
The main reason for the high dro
pout rate is because many Indians
are not adapting to the campus,
Mansfield said.
"We are constantly overlooked,"
he said. "Most American Indians
come from all-Indian communities,
and they face a big culture shock
without many people willing to help
them adapt."
The group also is trying to per
suade the University to hire an
American Indian faculty member,

"My daughter is away at school,
and she is happy to get a week off,"
Rosenberg says. "But I am happy
that I get to catch up on her life
because that is important to me.
"Thanksgiving is also a chance to
consider where one's life is, what
contributions one has made and
what contributions should be made
in the future," he said.
James Cansler, associate vice
chancellor and associate dean of stu
dent affairs, says Thanksgiving is a
time to reflect on the year's events.
"I think it is a time to express direct
and indirect thanks for how blessed
we are with educational and per
sonal opportunities, as well as for
our personal and spiritual freedom,"
he says.

lor Paul Hardin, says one of her
husband's favorite Thanksgiving
dishes is Apple Cranberry Casserole.

discussed this proposal with people

as well as with members of the

said.
Vice President Julie Hunt, a jun

on the proposal. She said the group
feels strongly they are being neg
