High-spirited audience appreciates all-vocal show
Congratulations are in order for the
UNC Clef Hangers' second annual a
cappella invitational, a hit well appreci
ated by the sell-out crowd in Carroll
Hall Saturday night.
Saturday night's program featured
Speak of the Devil from Duke Univer
sity, The Extractions from UNC Dental
and Medical Schools, Virginia Gentle
men from the University of Virginia,
Vocal Point from the University of
Rochester and the Clef Hangers.
It was clear that the audience was in
high spirits and expecting great talent
from these performances as they enthu
siastically applauded the Clef Hangers'
rendition of a Beatles' favorite,"I Wanna
Hold Your Hand." From then on, it was
an evening of smooth sailing through a
sea of great sounds.
Speak of the Devil, a group which
formed a year ago, got the audience's
attention with a humorous song outlin
ing their history as a group and their
background. They sang selections from
the past such as the "Happy Days" theme
song and"Brown-EyedGirl."They also
touched on the soulful side of melody
with "He Ain't Heavy, He's My
Brother." Overall, they were a talented
and humorous ensemble to watch.
The Extractions, a group consisting
of only five members, performed an
exciting version of "It's So Hard to Say
Goodbye" and some old favorites such
as "Run Around Sue" and "Stand By
Me."
The audience also enjoyed the
group's skit depicting Eric Montross
getting mutilated by Duke players in the
recent UNC-Duke game. According to

"Copenhagen is really a European classroom. The main emphasis at
DIS is on what is happening right now. I was taught by excellent
Danish professors who also practice in their fields. The study tours
are incredible. My "Danish family" accepted me as a full family

Gentlemen did it quite successfully.
A highly talented group with a di

performed a Pink Floyd selection, the
audience was mesmerized by the beau
tiful tones and poignant pauses between
phrases.
Serenading a member of the audi
ence brought onto the stage, Virginia
Gentlemen was the only group to inter
act directly with the audience.
Nancy Ingram, a member of the
Loreleis, pointed out that Virginia
Gentlemen are "always awesome." The
audience agreed as they gave the men a
standing ovation and were thrilled with
the encore they received.
Vocal Point, the only female group
in Saturday night's program, gave an
interesting performance as it refreshed
the audience by showing things from a
woman's point of view.
From the confrontational tone in "I
Heard It Through the Grapevine" to the
haunting melody of a Eurythm ics selec
tion, they gave the listeners a rare treat.
Highlighting their performance was an
entertaining skit which explained the

find every minute fault in anyone cross
ing her path.
The Clef Hangers, performing last,
were animated throughout their presen
tation. They conveyed an effective sense
of togetherness by huddling in a group
during their serious selections. One song
in particular, "Somebody," seemed to
capture the audience as the tender lyrics
told of a man's quest for true love.
The Clefs also entertained the audi
ence with a skit outlining some typical
UNC campus perils such as the Pit
preacher and registering through
Caroline. As expected, this ensemble
garnered much applause and returned
for an upbeat encore.
Perhaps Neal Nichols, a freshman
pharmacy major from Taylorsville, re
flected the audience's attitude towards
the invitational best when he said, "They
looked like they were having so much
fun, it made me wish I was up there with
them."
As the evening drew to a close with
the audience joining the Clef Hangers
in the singing of UNC's alma mater, it
was difficult to distinguish who en
joyed the evening more: the performers
on the stage or the people watching
them.

Advising
from page 1
Lowman said he also would wel
come any suggestions students had to
improve the systems. "There are stu
dents walking around here with a wealth
of ideas."
The advisory committee is only con
cerned with General College, which '
comprises freshmen and sophomores.
Once sophomores have declared their
majors, their records are transferred to
the College of Arts and Sciences, where
students are assigned both a departmen
tal and an Arts and Sciences adviser. '
The journalism, business and phar
macy schools are not part of the College
of Arts and Sciences. The committees,
will not examine the advising systems
of these schools.
Benzaquin said the advisory com
mittee might look at the transition be
tween the two colleges.
Thecommitteealso willdiscusscom-.
munication between advisers and stu
dents. "Apparently, a lot of students are .
receiving mail late or never getting it at
all," she said, adding that this was a .
problem especially for out-of-state stu-.
dents.
Other areas that committee members
hope to examine include the expansion ,
of the Carolina Course Review and an
improved preregistration schedule for
incoming freshmen.
Milton Smith, an advisory commit
tee member, added that student feed- .
back would help improve communica-'
tion between advisers and students.
"We're going to see how we can get
more of the advisees to come in to see
their advisers."
He added that many students were
unable to discuss majors and academic
problems with their advisers because of
time-consuming paperwork.
"Some students have never even seen
a sheet with the requirements for their
majors," he said.
Benzaquin said advisers' schedules
were hampered by students who failed -to
make appointments or who missed
their scheduled meetings.
"Each of the advisers has 225 stu
dents," she said.
'There is some responsibility that
the student has to take."
But she added that a common prob
lem among students was that they be
lieved "they can do it on their own with
all the rules we have here." !
"By not using the advising system,
people might be caught off guard."
She said she hoped the committees'
would find a compromise between in
dependence and guidance. "Helpful as
the advising system is, we don't want to
be hand holders."
