Concert
draws to
for UNC
By ASHLEY CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
The UNC Department of Music
will offer its final free concerts of
the spring with its presentation of
the Women's and Men's Glee
Clubs, Symphony Orchestra and
New Music Ensemble in concert
next week.
The Glee Clubs will perform
Sunday, and the Symphony
Orchestra will perform Tuesday,
both at 8 p.m. in Hill Hall Aud
itorium. The New Music Ensem
ble will perform at 8 p.m. Thurs
day in 107 Hill Hall.
Glee Clubs
The Women's and Men's Glee
Clubs, which recently returned
from their spring tour of North
and South Carolina, will sing
separately as well as together at
their concert, said Robert Daniel,
the clubs' director.
The concert will open with
serious, classical selections. One
piece will be performed in Latin
and another in German. The rest
of the program will be semi-serious
and lighter.
"We will perform a number of
spiritual songs and a sea shanty,
and of course well close with the
alma mater," said Daniel, a vis
iting lecturer of music at UNC.
The women's club has about 50
members and the men's about 25.
The clubs have only three music
majors.
"The clubs have an appeal to
those who aren't music majors, but
that doesn't take away from the
excellence of the group,' he said.
The groups received enthusias
tic audience reception during their
tour last weekend, when they
performed at high schools and
churches in Wilmington; Pawley's
Island, S.C.; and Charleston, S.C.
"The highlight of the tour was
singing at Saint Philips Episcopal
Church in downtown Charleston,"
Daniel said. "It was a marvelous
church."
UNC Symphony Orchestra
The UNC Symphony Orches
tra's concert will offer a mix of
periods and styles, said conductor
Tonu Kalam.
, A mix and balance of works
is important for the audience's
enjoyment and the orchestra's
satisfaction and training," he said.
The program will open with
Ludwig van Beethoven's Overture
to "The Creatures of Prometheus,"
Op. 43, which Kalam described as

groups
a short, energetic, brilliant piece.
The next piece will be American
Samuel Barber's First Essay for
Orchestra, Op. 12 (1937), a beau
tiful, romantic symphony, he said.
The concert will close with a
symphony of the 19th century
which features a full brass section:
Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op.
88, by Czechoslovakian Anton
Dvorak.
The concert will last about an
hour and 15 minutes, said Kalam,
a UNC associate professor of
music. Kalam, who has been at
UNC for a year, is also conductor
of the Longview Symphony
Orchestra in Texas and the New
England chamber Orchestra in
Boston.
"The (UNC) orchestra has
about 65 players, of which a large
number are non-music majors and
community people," he said. "It's
a fun organization and the players
love music and take their respon
sibility seriously."
New Music Ensemble
The New Music Ensemble's
program will feature original
compositions by student compos
ers. All of the performances will
be premieres.
"The intent of the program is
to use the New Music Ensemble
as a performance medium for
composition students," said Roger
Hannay, director and founder of
the ensemble and UNC professor
of music.
"The value of the program is
that the ensemble has the oppor
tunity to work with brand new
music, and it's a real tribute to the
composers to have their compo
sitions performed so well. The
performance will illustrate the
interdependence of composers and -performers,
which is the basic
ingredient of new music."
The program will include a
three-movement brass ensemble
piece by David Barman, a mod
ernistic work for clarinet and
piano by Paul Murphy, and a
piece for trumpet and piano by
Steven Kennedy, Hannay said.
The program will also feature
a jazz work by Robert Jones, a
woodwind quintet piece by Todd
Medlhv a composition fay1 Mark
Simonsen titled "To Dance and
Death" and possibly a one-act
micro-opera by David Moffitt.
Murphy won the Richard Adler
scholarship in composition for
1989-90, Hannay said.

Men's tennis: New look for '89 tourney-
By SCOTT GOLD
Staif Writer
The ACC tournament doesn't
bring back happy memories for Tar
Heel men's tennis players.
Actually, the whole 1988 season
doesnt exactly produce thoughts of
high fives, low fives, any of that. Only
a .500 winning percentage.
Which is better than their winning
percentage was in the conference.
Infinitely better, in fact. The team
compiled an 0-7 conference record
before stumbling into the tourney on
their way to a sixth-place finish.
No team in North Carolina history
nobody in this prestigious haven
of education's history had ever
gone winless through a conference
schedule. Ever. Not even when they
played tennis in long pants and full
dresses with those wooden rackets
that are probably petrified by now.
But wait! This is 1989. That stuff
is ancient history.
UNC is good.
First of all, nobody's injured
most likely the area that hurt the team
the most last season. Coach Allen
Morris started last season with one
returning starter, two sophomores
and three freshman, mostly due to
a rash of pre-season injuries to his
starting staff. In every match of the
season, the team's sixth seed was a
walk-on. Not the best way to start.
UNC has a 5-2 record in the
conference and a third-place standing
in the conference to boot. Both
conference losses (against Clemson
and Georgia Tech) have come against
nationally-ranked teams. The team is
15-8. That .500 mark has been
rejected.
Aikman signs with Cowboys as
From Associated Press reports
IRVING, Texas The Dallas
Cowboys ended weeks of NFL draft
speculation Thursday by signing
quarterback Troy Aikman to a
rookie-record six-year, $11.2 million
contract.
Aikman, who played at UCLA and
who will be the No. 1 choice in
Sunday's NFL draft, said he hoped
that within five years "the fans will
be comparing me with Roger
Staubach."
He said he wanted to sign with the
Cowboys because every Sunday he
used to watch Staubach on television
f from, his homejn, Henryetta, Okla.
r u remember all those comeback .
victories, and I'd like to be part of
that someday," Aikman said. "I can't
step into Roger's shoes, but maybe
I can do some of the things he did."
Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson
said the third time was the charm
trying to attract Aikman.
"He turned me down out of high
school and went to Oklahoma," said
Johnson, who was then coaching at
Oklahoma State. "Then, when I was
at Miami, I tried to get him when
he left Oklahoma, but he went to
UCLA. I was afraid he would turn

David Pollack
High fives have been handed out
like they were on sale all season at
K mart.
Morris' potent six-pack of Tar
Heel starters David Pollack, Don
Johnson, Bryan Jones, Andre
Janasik, Thomas Tanner and Jimmy
Weilbaecher has stayed both
healthy and consistent for most of the
season. Morris seemed to be pleased
with the seeding all season, and will
apparently not change anything for
the upcoming tournament.
Pollack, the team's number one
seed and one of the co-captains of
the squad, has compiled a 16-7 record
this season, while inching his way up
to the 69th notch in the Intercollegiate
Tennis Coaches Assocation Volvo
me down a third time."
Ironically, Aikman suffered a
broken leg during a game against
Miami when he was at Oklahoma.
He sat out the rest of that season and
decided to transfer to UCLA after
Oklahoma coaches announced they
would return to the run-oriented
wishbone offense the following
season.
"Thanks for breaking my leg,
coach," Aikman said. "You did me
a favor."
Johnson said he wanted Aikman
badly.
"Everybody kept, saying I had a
poker, face, but at times I had to bite
my lip to keep my enthusiasm inside,"
said Johnson, who took over as coach
of the Cowboys last month and has
since signed a 10-year contract.
Aikman said he will donate some
of his bonus money to UCLA and
Henryetta High School. He also plans
to donate $1,000 to charity for each
Cowboys' victory next year.
"I hope to give $16,000," he
quipped.
The 6-foot-3, 217-pound Aikman,
who played two years at UCLA after
transferring from Oklahoma, was 20
4 with the Bruins. He completed 60
percent of his passes and threw 41
touchdown passes with only 17

Rankings. He reached a personal best
midway through the season when he
jumped to number 62.
Though perhaps still nursing a
serious shoulder injury that downed
him for all of last season (Pollack still
ices after every match), he has fought
strongly this year and has served as
a leader off the court as well as on.
Recently, he has proven that he
can, when needed, hang with the big
dogs. In an April 14 match against
Duke, whom UNC walloped 7-2,
Pollack used newly developed aggres
sive strategies to impressively squeak
by the 61st ranked player in the
country, Mark Mance.
In the April 17 match against
eighth-ranked South Carolina, Pol
lack soundly tromped 65th-ranked
Ken Diller, 6-2, 6-4, though the Tar
Heels lost a heartbreaker to the
Gamecocks.
For the team's sake, he must be
able to keep it up, since the remaining
matches are obviously the most
important ones yet. If he withstands
the pressure of leading the team, he
should prove to be a powerhouse in
the tournament.
Pollack has teamed with second
seed Don Johnson in doubles play
this year. The tandem has provided
tremendous support for the doubles
matches, garnering a 14-4 record and
placing themselves at the 19th spot
in the nation, with a high of 1 1th early
on.
Johnson, a junior, has also quietly
accumulated a 15-7 record this season
in the second flight of singles play.
Johnson was the infamous "only
returning starter" for the 8 cam
paign and had the team's only
interceptions.
Aikman will wear No. 8, the same
number he wore at UCLA.
Johnson handed the Cowboys
jersey to Aikman and said, "I hope
you wanted number eight."
Then Johnson took Aikman to his
locker at the training complex, which
already had his name painted over
it.
"This is where it all begins,"
Johnson said. "It's a new era for the
Cowboys."
Aikman said he believes he will be
a better professional quarterback
than he was as a collegian. ,
"There were , a lot more things , I
can do than I showed at UCLA," he
said. "I was limited to a degree by
our offensive talent."
Asked how it felt being rich,
Aikman said, "I said all along I
wanted to be with the Dallas Cow
boys. I'm just now getting used to
that. Being rich really hasnt hit me."

winning record in the ACC.
This season, he has established
himself as one of UNC's legitimate
stars, falling just behind Pollack wijth
a 79th national ranking.
Bryan Jones, at the number three
spot for the Tar Heels, has been one
of the pleasant surprises for Morris
and the team. Jones, though onlya
freshman, has made a tremendous
impact on the team already, leading
them in wins with 19, while losing
only four matches all season. , ' -H.
Sophomore Thomas Tanner, play
ing most of the season in the number
four flight, has gathered a 14-7 record
this season and gained momentum
going into the ACC tourney with a
tough 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 over South
Carolina's Lou Gloria, one of only
two Tar Heel victories in singles play.
Co-captain Jimmy Weilbaecher
has put together a solid 14-8 tally,
while recently jumping into the
national picture in the 81st spot.
Andre Janasik rounds out UNC's top
six with a 16-5 record. v
Janasik and Weilbaecher, 'the
team's number two doubles team,
have held together well this season,
with a 9-5 result and a 33rd listing
in the national rankings . '
i'-.
Oddly, North Carolina's best
winning percentage comes from
tandem of two freshman, Jones and
Joe Frierson. The two youngsters
have combined for a spotless record
in the third spot in doubles.
At 7-0, maybe they could have
handled the ACC all by themselves
last season. .. S
This season they don't have to.
No. 1 pick
European player ever nominated for
election to the Hall of Fame. He led
the Soviets to 13 World Champion
ships and helped the Central Red
Army to 13 Soviet Elite League titles.
The other nominees in the players

Philadelphia Flyers; Ted Green,.-a
defenseman who played with Bostqn
in the NHL and New England and
Winnipeg of the World Hockey
Association; Steve Shutt of the
Montreal Canadiens and Los Angeles
Kings; Darryl Sittler, who played
with Toronto, Philadelphia and
Detroit, and Ed Westfall,.a forward
who played with Boston and the New
York Islanders.
To be elected, a player must receive
at least three-quarters of the votes
from the 12-man Hall of Fame
Selection Committee. No more than
three players can be elected in one
year. vn
Gastineau may play again
PHOENIX Former New York
Jets defensive end Mark Gastineau,
who would have made $875,000 this
year if he hadnt retired, may be about
to make a comeback in his own back
yard.
Gastineau, 32, walked away sud
denly with no word for several days
last Oct. 1 1 to be with actress Brigitte
Nielsen, his fiancee who was thought
at the time to have cancer, though
subsequent tests showed she didnt."
Now, reportedly on the outs with
her, Gastineau has been discussing a
return with the Phoenix Cardinals of
the National Football League.
The Jets retain rights to Gastineau,
having placed him on the reserve
retired list when he left. He's in the
final year of that contract, and the
Jets are believed to be willing to make
a deal, perhaps a middle-round draft
choice, though Wilson said he hasnt
talked with them.
Gastineau also recently visited Los
Angeles Raiders owner Al Davis, and
Denver and San Diego also report
edly might be interested in him. ' '
Gastineau, who played collegiate
ball for Arizona State in 1976, set
an NFL record with 22 sacks in 1984
when he was named defensive player
of the year. He been selected to five
Pro Bowls, including 1985 when' he
was most valuable player.
