Choir
Featured
The Atlantic Christian College
Choir was featured at a recent
statewide meeting of the N. C.
Music Teachers Association
convention held at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill,
Music sung by the choir was
by ACC connposers who wrote
especially for the group. The
first piece, “Progress
Desolation,” for choir, piano,
xylophone and tympani, was
composed by J. Ross Albert, its
director. The number portrays
the desolation caused by
progress by describing the final
stages of a crumbling stone
farmhouse before it gives itself
up to complete desolation.
The second piece,
“Phonemes,” by Marvin Lamb,
instructor in music at the
college, used vocal sounds unlike
those usually referred to as
singing. The sounds were
combined to show that the gap
between musical sense and word
sense is variable in the same
way as is the gap between
sounds and phones.
“Mass for these forgotten
times,” was the third piece. The
mass was commissioned by the
state and national offices of the
association and was comosed by
Dr. William Duckworth, for
merly of the ACC music faculty.
The mass was entitled, “Kyrie,
Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and
Benedictus and Agnus Dei,” to
be sung by the ACC Choir. The
mass coxbines the rhythmic flow
and modality of Gregorian chant
with chance tonal clusters and
rhythms of contemporary times.
The resulting textures create a
feeling of potential for antiquity
that faces the styles of today.
Following the concert. Dr.
duckworth was presented the
Commission Award by Dr.
Eugene Crobb, Dean of Music at
Florida Atlantic University, who
represented the Music Teachers
National Association. Dr. Duck
worth is currently a faculty
member at Bucknell University.
Homecoming Finalists
By .MAKY OKN.MS
Homecoming, 1973 for Atlantic
Christian College marks another
year of increased competition
for homecoming queen. Ten
finalists now seek the coveted
title, hoping to represent the
school with great honor. Each of
this year's contestants have
individual ambitions, a variety
of interests, and unique per
sonalities that reflect her own
queen-like qualities.
Mary Atkins of Kernersville,
N. C. is sponsored by Men's
Interdormitory Association,
She s a 19-year-old sophomore
majoring in nursing. Mary plans
to work with pediatric nursing,
since she enjoys small children.
Horseback-riding and piano are
her favorite leisure activities.
Women's Interdormitory
Association is sponsoring Sheila
Barker, a junior from Oxford, N,
C, Sheila is quite talented on the
piano and organ, and also
considers herself an animal
lover. She's 20-years-old and
plans to teach in the elementary
school.
Jan Hutchens of Winston-
Salem, N. C. is representing
Delta Zeta sororitv. A 21-vear-
Edward’s Recital Set
system, and has been called the
“foremost neurological problem
of our time.” In MS, the
protective covering of the nerve
fibers called the myelin sheath,
deteriorates forming scar tissue
so that nerve impulses do not
always get through to activate
muscles to perform their tasks
properly. Impulses controlling
several or all functions such as
seeing, speaking, walking, and
balances may be partially or
completely blocked.
MS may bring total disability,
but does not always. Remission
or temporary relief from
symptoms can be of short
duration such as 2-3 days and
has been known to last for years.
Research is seeking the cause of
these spontaneous im
provements not only in the hope
that they can be induced, but
also with the realization that the
key to the whole disease process
may lie in this phenomenon.
The disease strikes mainly
those in the prime of life —
between the ages of 20-40, more
frequently in women than in
men, particularly those in
higher socioeconomic groups.
For some unknown reason, the
disease is more prevalent in the
colder rather than the warmer
climates, although no area of the
world is completely free of MS.
The main focus of the Circle K
Club is to raise money to help
pay for research in multiple
sclerosis, a disease that strikes
people our age. Plans are in the
making for the Second Annual
walkathon to be held November
10, 1973. Anyone who wishes to
walk or wishes to sponsor a
student is very welcome to do so.
Circle K is also planning a door-
to-door canvass of Wilson on
November 16 and 17, and a
collection at Parkwood on
November 17. Anyone wishing to
participat in either event please
contact Tim Corbett, Ann
Pinson, or Dr. Parkerhin the
Psychology Department.
