The Nee Ningy Band!! will
perform at A.C. on Nov. 30 at
7:30 p.m., in Hardy Alumni
Hall. The band consists of five
members; Ted Porter, Chris
Turner, Rachel Maloney, Rob
Van Veld, and Mance Grady.
The first three of these five
started the band as street
performers at the Mardi Gras in
1978. Rob Van Veld joined the
group with his double wash
board bass, “Jim” shortly
thereafter. “Jim” became part
of the family of other acoustic
instruments: harmonica, fiddle,
mandolin, flute, jaw harp, med
ieval cornetto, bagpipes, and
shawms. Mance Grady became
part of the band last summer,
adding an interesting percus
sion sound to the group’s al
ready unique style.
They incorporate in their
show folk tunes, using tradi
tional styles of English. Irish,
Scottish, Cajun, medieval,
country, and blues; added to
this musical potpourri is their
colorful stage presence, which
includes eye-catching costumes,
audience participation, and
high-energy performance.
Although the Nee Ningy
Band!! has been performing
professionally for only a short
time, they come highly recom
mended as a group that appeals
to persons of all ages. They
have made three records on
their own label. Their energy
and showmanship ensure that
their performance here at A.C.
will be an interesting one. The
admission is interesting, too:
come with a smile!!

These happy people are among the ones who ventured into the wilderness of the CCA retreat held
the weekend of Nov, 2-3. The retreat was held at Camp DonLee, on the Neuse River.
Retreat meets with Success
On Friday, Nov. 2, 68 people
from Alpha Omega, Baptist
Student Union. Campus
Christian Association, Fellow
ship of Christian Athletes, and
United Campus Christian Fel
lowship packed their sleeping
bags and bare necessities into
four A.C. vans. They headed for
the CCA overnight retreat at
Camp DonLee. Upon arrival and
throughout the retreat, they
were served good, homecooked
meals.
Friday night was a time of
getting to know each other
through games, singing and
fellowship. The campfire was
brought inside by the rain but
was not any less effective. After
the service and sharing in front
of the fire, some roasted marsh
mallows while others headed
towards the waterfront.
Saturday morn began early
for most at the sunrise service.
The clouds covered the morning
sun, but all knew it had risen by
the vision of many sleepy.
