Players To Perform “Ghosts” Next Week CUB Presents ‘‘Brother Bait” In Concert Friday At 8 P.M. Ali.1 wU fViAxr The EROS concert scheduled by the College Union Board for Friday night *' been cancelled due to has The Highland Players of St. Andrews will present Hen rik Ibsen’s "Ghosts” for four performances, Thursday through Sunday, March 8-11, 1973 In the Liberal Arts Au ditorium at 8 p.m. Directed by Arthur Mc Donald, director of the art, music, and theatre division at St. Andrews, “Ghosts” will be under the technical di rection of W.D.

Written by Ibsen In 1881, “Oiosts” continues to con front audiences with charac terizations and ideas that are relevant to the complexities of contemporary life. In its early performances this play shocked audiences In London, Berlin and Paris with Its pre sentation of topics that were previously taboo on the stage. In time audiences were able to move beyond the topical to the fundamental Issues pre-' sented in this revolutionary drama. Ibsen’s characteriza tion of Mrs. Alving Is a mas terful study of an attempt to live with honesty in a society that seems to demand com promises. to constructing “Ghosts,” Ibsen offers not a sllce-oi- play, but rather a wit nessing of the lives of his Characters. The story con- '^erns Mrs. Alving’s mis takes of the past culminating with her son’s return home and the circumstances which bring about her ultimate (Continued to Page 3) illness in the group. Instead, the CUB is presenting Brot her Bait, a top rock group from Atlanta. The 50’s concert wiU be re-scheduled at a later date. Because the band that will be coming is not well known to SA students, the following is an excerpt from an article about them in the January 24, 1972 issue of the Great Speckled Bird, an Atlanta un derground paper. “Had I not been standing against the rear wall as Brother Bait began their set, the initial rush of sound might have knocked me over. Usually that means it’s time to split, but Brother Bait is the first band I have ever heard play at an enjoyable loud volume. They were also very aware of the pulse of their young audience, and suc ceeded in getting about half the people to dance! Two Responses Bunn Award Presented; Ragan, 2 Others Read C&c 402, Studies in the Fu ture, will sponsor a series of short films next Monday, March 5th, at 7:30 In the College Union. These films '^ill deal with the problems of survival In the modem world. Ed. Note — The Lance here presents two responses to the poetry reading, so that readers can get two per spectives of the same event. BY CATHY LUNSFORD The Alan Bunn Memorial Chapbook awards were presented Wednesday evening, February 28th in Albemarle Dorm lounge. The awards were presented to Beth Copeland and Rex McGunn, both seniors, by President Hart. The Award is named for Alan Bunn, a student at S. A. who was killed in an automobile accident last This is the first year the award has been presented, although a similar award was formerly presented. It was known as the Senior Series award. Reading first was John Williamson, a St. Andrews senior and the co-editor of the Cairn, SA’s student literay magazine. His quiet tone and sensitive writing set the mood for his reading. „ , Betty Adcock, a Raleigh poet who has published work in the Red Clay Reader and is Review, read second. Her work displayed beautiful im agery when ead in her quiet nasal tones. Her reading might have been better if she had been more organized in knowing what she read. Sam Ragan, an award win ning editor and current editor of the Southern Pines Pilot, was the last reader. He described poetry as the “essence of a moment.” His poetry had a quality that made one want to say, “oh yeah,” in recognition. His charm and poise impressed the audience as much as his thoughtful poetry. Despite constant in terruptions by late arrivals and phone calls, the reading seemed to be a success and added much to a dreary Wed nesday evening. by ANN POE After listening to the tense over-colored and sporadic images of John Williamson and Betty Adcock, it was with relief that SamRagan began the final phase of this year s State Arts Council P^try Reading in Albemarle Dorm last evening. In a ''elaxed southern drawl, the elderly gentleman caressed selections of his narrative verse. He began his reading with a light and humorous poem about burning the bees out of a chur_ ch. From there, be progressed through poems concerning depression days and the rural south. Equipped with bow-tie, white hair and numerous an ecdotes covering his win tering life, he struck a picture of Mark Twain m concert^ Sam Ragan easily helps to bring back the oral tradition (Continued to Page 3) Bait played very good 'cover material”-some usual, such as Chicago and Jethro Tull, and some unusual, such as Frank Zappa and the James Gang. But they showed a rare talent to choose and play excellent music with their versions of Buffalo Sringfield’s “Mr. Soul,” and the Moody Blues’ “Knights in White Satin.” Brother Bait is vocalist Rod Lester, lead guitarist Ron Bloom, organist Sloan Hayes, bassman Gary Fergueson, and drummer Chris Costley. I talked with Ron, and he told me that Bait has been playing small concerts and dances across the Southeast. They have some original material, but prefer to play songs that their audience is familiar with and can dance to. Ron also mentioned that they are able to lK)th switch and play ad ditional instruments. Although they stuck to a basic format Friday night, Sloan did have a short chance to display, his versatility on flute. And I found out that Gary can play violin. I think both of these are overlooked instruments in rock and roll, and I hope Bait makes more use of them. I was also impressed by Ron’s smooth style and Christ’s even flowing energy. In addition, Ron and Rod traded some nice touches of humor between songs. Mostly, I enjoyed Brother Bait because they played bod music-the kind that swells and vibrates inside, and makes you want to hold someone tight.” The Brother Bait concert- dance is this Friday (tomorrow night) from 8 until 12 p.m. in the College Cafeteria. No beer will be ser ved, but students can bring their own. There is no ad mission charge. Conn Appointed New SA Pastor Effective July George M.
