THE RIDGERUNNER February 2, 1978 UNC-Asheville. 28»04 Volume XIII, Number 13 Bollet Performed A professional touring dance company from the North Carolina School of the Arts was in Asheville last week for a half-week residency which culminated in a splendid performance on Friday, January 27. The performance took place in the Lipinsky Student Center Auditorium in front of a full house of students, administration, faculty, and community members. The North Carolina Dance Theatre scheduled a number of events for area stu dents which lead up to the main perfor mance on Friday. Students themselves were allowed to participate in several of these events which were sponsored by The Com mittee on Special and Cultural Events along with several civic and community groups. A lecture demonstration was held from 1:00-2:00 p.m. at Hill Street School and a “Movement Workshop” was given in the UNC-A Dance Studio in Justice Gymnasium from 2:30-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Activities for Thursday included lecture demonstrations at Reynolds Middle School at 9:30 a.m. and Owen High School at 1:00 pjn. A workshop for dance students was also given in Justice Gymnasium at 3:30 pjn. Friday offered a technKal introduction and dance movement woricshop at 9:30 a.m. There will also be an open rehearsal from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. with the main performane beginning at 8:00 p.m. All these activities were held in the Lipinsky Student Center Auditorium. Friday night’s program featured “Re flections,” “Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux,” “Concerto Barocco,” and “Sunny Day.” The Director of the company and the man responsible for the excellent performances is Mr. Robert Lindgrem. The performance itself was a brilliant composition of traditional ballet and reg ional folk dance. The degance and grace with which the dancers performed struck even the most uncultured person with an in^iration of awe and respect. Judging from the reaction of the audience, the regional folk dance was met with the most approval. The dancers combined traditional dance steps and movements with the moun- tain-originated clogging steps to produce a splendid display. The entire schedule of events was highly successful and was a benefit to the schools as well as die entire community. The student body of UNC-A and the citi zens of Asheville are looking forward to seeing more such fine activities. Dance Planned Homecoming is just around the comer and a full schedule of events is being planned by several organizations on campus. This year, being our 51st yeav as ait institution of higher learning, no expense is being spared in making this the best Homecoming UNC-A has ever witnessed.. If you remember last year’s Student Government Homecoming Dance, then you will also remember how crowded it became. Dancing was almost an impossibility unless of course you do not mind trampled feet or contorting your entire body into a compaci wad. This year the dance is gomg to be held at the Great Smokies Hilton on Friday Feb- urary 17, 1978 from 9:00 p.m.-l:00 a,m. The band this year for UNC-A’s most spectacular dance is “Fat Amman’s Band” from Charlotte. If you’ve never heard of this band, then perhaps you’ve heard of “Bill Deal and the Rhondells” which is the former name. Several Student Government officials have praised this group and their music so it should be an entertaining evening, “Beverages of all sorts” will be provi ded for the students and faculty which de cide to attend. In case you perhaps have misinterpreted “beverages of all sorts,” no alcholic beverages will be permitted otiier than beer, which will be served. The theme for this year’s dance, accord ing to planners Jbdy Hodges and JanalTaylor is “Valentine’s Day.” So all you ^Is get out your red and white dresses. Also at the dance will be the announce ment of the Homecoming Queen and King which will be selected from a “Homecoming Court” for which the students will vote. Nominations will open for one week begin ning at 12:00 noon on Friday in the Stu dent Government Office on the second floor of Lipinsky Student Center. Elections will be held with the Student Government Pre sidential elections on Wednesday, February 15th.

Vice ChanceDor Roy A Riggs retires, and the Vice-Chancellor search Committee will con clude its task of finding a qualified replace ment. The Committee is composed of six faculty members, diree students, and one alumnus, with two faculty members and one student representative from the Humani ties, Social Sciences, and Math and Science divisions. According to one Committee member, Dr. Robert Trullinger, the many applicants who applied were narrowed to five, one of whom has since taken another position. Out of the remaining, two or three names will be sent on to Chancellor Highsmith by mid-February. Dr. Trullinger notes diat there is the possibility that the Committee may wish to consider an additional candi date. Dr. Trullincer further expressed dis appointment in the lack of student interest, citing the Committee’s student members, Susan Sport, Catherine N^Oling, and Philip Bowers as having made excellent contribu tions toward the Committees responsibility of finding a replacement for the Vice- Chancellor. In finding that replacement, Dr. Trullinger added, the Committee looks for someone with a positive admmistrative and teaching experience, a good education and background, as well as someone who would fit into a liberal arts college. Chan cellor Highsmith is expected to annbunce his decision sometime tliis spring. I page 2. Editorials page 3. . . Horoscopes Legal Aid page 4. .
