will be performing next Monday
night, Feb. 18. in Hardy Alumni

The trio, made up of Sheila

sent mankind in a way which
can be tragically realistic.
The visit will include a Mime
Workshop that same Monday
afternoon from 4:00-6:00 in the
Old Gym, with the evening
performance beginning at 7:30.
During the workshop, the trio
will choose twenty-five persons
who will actively participate.
These persons will be chosen
from the audience.
The trio consists of Kerrigan,
who aspired to be a dancer until
she injured her knee and “fell
into a mime class in 1971,"
according to a press release;
Lambdin, whose fascination for
mime has led him into a study of
its powers; and Wolf, who at
one time wanted to run away
and play baseball for the Brook-
lin Dodgers. The three have
received fine reviews, lauding
their abilitty to communicate
their messages through the fine
art of mime.
Touch’s repertoire includes
short, simple acts with
Mime Trio to Perform Here
‘Toucir
quick, non-verbal punch imes,
to more serious, longer social
statements such as their popular
“America with a Moustache.”
Other skits include, “The Au
tomatic Friend.” “The Gar
den.” “Sweet Dreams.” and an
untitled piece where a pregnant
lady transfers her pregnancy to
the unknowing father.
Touch will be an experience
which no one will want to miss.
They will perform twice on
Monday, during the workshop
from 5:00-6:00 and again at
7:30.

Chapel, on the Atlantic

this night ONE THING will be
different. The Sigma Sigma
Sigma Sorority will perform
during the program, but they
will not be in competition for the
Greek Sing Trophy. After much
deliberation, they make this
announcement for the following
reasons.
The main reason for this
decision is that they feel the true
spirit of Greek Sing Night has
been exploited. When Greek
Sing performances first began,
they were for the enjoyment of
the audience and as an
expression of unity among the
Greek organizations.
However, through the years,
the main purpose has trans
formed into a battle of comp
etition. This competition has
become unhealthy and degrad
ing because of the obsession to
win. This trophy only symbol
izes unhealthy attitudes as well
as bitterness among the Greek
organizations. Arguments over
rules and regulations have be
come petty and unnecessary.
Thus, the Sigmas feel the
time has come for the true
meaning of Greek Sing to be
restored. Therefore, the Sigmas
feel entering competition would

‘^Masterpiece Illusions”
by Bobby Silver
The Afro-American Aware
ness Society will present, on
Wednesday, Feb. 13, “Master
piece Illusions." This is a group
of sisters from Washington,
D.C., that specialize in sculp
turing cornrow designs. Cuchi.
Cascie. and Cym (pronounced
Kym) Wilson formed this or
ganization 3‘/i years ago.
The three sisters are in
Wilson to participate in Black
Cultural Week at A.C. Famu
Smith, public relations advisor
of “Masterpiece Illusions,' in
troduced the group to the
Wilson area.
A workshop will be held that
morning from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. to demonstrate the corn-
rowing process. This process
includes: a braid which is noth
ing more than a plait, has no
design, and usually allows the
scalp to show; sculpturing-
which is a process of close
braiding, focuses on design. A
hair sculpture can be worn on a
job whereas a braid cannot.
The sculpturing process also
includes other accessory tech
niques. Shaving, which is the
process of clipping uneven hair;
crimping, the process where a
crimp is used; beading, the
process of attaching beads to
accentuate the hair design, are a
few of the final processes used
in hair sculpturing.
There are different hair de
signs for men and women.
These hair sculpturings can be
done on any type of hair. If a
person’s hair is dyed, or dam
aged. this sculpturing proce.ss
can still be administered.
The caring process for these
designs is simply to wash it, dry
it and oil it.
