The Pilot / Nov. 4 Page 3 choral clinic ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The Plastic Inevitable: A celebration of the arts Campus hosts by Nic Floyd by Mary Gettys staff writer A whisper of poetry curls around the room, some verses read from books and others scrawled in students' own handwriting. A bright guitar chord flirts with the reds and greens of a painting. Silence fails like rain as faces ponder the beauty of the spoken word. Welcome to the Plastic Inevitable. Named from a combination of pop art master Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground, a band that performed punk music. The Plastic Inevitable is returning for its second appearance on Tuesday, Nov. 4 from 8-9 pan. in the upper cafeteria. This poetry reading will provide a variety of artistic values like the last one and will incorporate poetry and music. Ms. Jennifer Carlile, Reflections advisor, said that since she has been at Gardner-Webb she has noticed a lot of talent in many areas of art, like music, theater, writing and visual art. "There’s a lot of student talent here, but not a lot of avenues to express that,” Carlile said. Reflections members hope tlie readings will be a way to integrate artistic value. Also, the Reflections staff creates a yearly publication in the spring that contains art, photography, essays, short stories and poetry. To be involved in this publication or the reading, drop by one of the Reflect ions meetings each Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Craig 109, or contact Carlile at 3913. All submissions for the spring publication are due at the end of the semester, but they will be accepted now. "Within this Plastic Inevitable we can have many means of art,” said Carlile. Reflections members are hoping that the readings will be a time for everyone to i^articipate, whether students are joining in or just watching. staff writer Dr. Jerry Jordan, nationally renowned clinician from the University of Missis sippi, recently conducted a two-day choral clinic at Gardner-Webb. Jordan led the GWU Concert and Chorale Choirs, along with students from 12 high schools in the Carohnas, in a concert on October 24 at 7:30 p.m. in Dover Tlieater. Dr. Pliil D. Perin, chorale conductor, invited Jordan to help his pupils and otliers strengtlien their musical talents. During the clinic, Jordan stressed the importance of blending in with the choir, singing the same pitch and pronouncing vowels correctly. To improve students’ voice quality, Jordan “worked for a dropped jaw and an o[3en mouth for the open vowel sound." "I model tlie notes to them and tliey repeat them back to me,” he said. Througli this technique, students saw an imiJrovement in their own voices. “My voice seems stronger, and I can sing notes faster and keep them clean," said Danyelle Marshal, a student from East Lincohi High School. Students were not the only people who benefited from Jordan’s visit. Gardner- Webb and high school conductors learned new ways to organize their choir groups and work with students on an individual basis. “Dr. Jordan has stressed individual responsibility among the choir members, meaning that every choir member needs to carry his or her own weight," said Chi;is Roberts, adjunct instructor of music and Concert Clioir director. Witli practice behind the singers, it was time to see if their hard work payed off. One hundred seventy higli school students and the Gardner-Webb Concert and Chorale Qioirs performed classical pieces such as “The Heavens are Telling” and "Achieved is the Glorious Work” in front of a large crowd. This was the twenty-second choral clinic, and Jordan was the twenty-second master clinician.

Only Chrsitians that are athletes? The name FCA, (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) alone may cause many non-athletes to hesitate attending. A bigger misunderstanding, according to president James Short, is "tliat you have to be a Qu'istian to come to it." The truth is that all are welcome to join in the weekly worship, fellowship and hearing of the gospel. Short says for "everyone to ... at least try it one time." Meetings are Monday at 9 p.m. in Ritch Banquet Hall, DCC. PHOTOCRAPHEK'S NAME/sUfI At least 100 students have attended the FCA meetings held each Momiay night on cainpii^.
