Page 8 Friday, October 14, 1988 THE COMPASS ENTERTAINMENT Freshmen shine in ^88-89 talent show despite ^rude^ behavior of audience Dramatic Rap Photo by Richard Mclntire ECSU freshman Ursula McMillian performs "Phenomenal Woman," a dramatic presen tation during the Freshman Talent Show. The show took place September 1, in Moore Hall Auditorium. By Nicholas Allen “I feel that the Freshmen Tal ent Show was a success, even though the audience showed no respect,” said Loranne Barclift, who helped co-ordinate the pro gram. Sponsored by the Division of General Studies, ECSU’s 1988-89 Talent Show took place Sept. 1 in Moore Hall Auditorium. The nine participants performed with style and enthusiasm, de spite the audience’s occasional rude behavior. “I didn’t like the way the view ers were throwing tissue,” said Kendria Felton, a freshman at ECSU. “Overall, the audience was rude and impolite.” Larona Johnson of Supply, N.C., kicked off the show with a spirited rendition of “I’m Still Holding on.” David Crockett, of Columbus, Ohio, followed with one of his original songs, “To gether, Forever.” Next, James Vasser of Wel don, N.C., and Felicia Young of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., per formed a duet entitled “Al ways,” by Atlantic Starr. Greg Boston and Tim McCray sang, “Nothing Better Than Love,” by Luther Vandross and Gregory Hines. Adding variety to the show, Stanley Elliot modeled a se lected outfit from his wardrobe: a fashionable overcoat, blazer, slacks, matching shirt and tie. James Vasser piqued the audi ence’s interest with a monologue about “the lady in his hfe.” Then, in a surprise twist, he identified the special lady as “education.” He ended his pre sentation by singing the solo, “The Latest and Greatest and Inspiration,” by Teddy Pender grass. s FALL SPECIALS 15—50% OFF LIST PRICE RAY BANS LAURA BIAGIOTTI ESPIRIT KRIZIA AND MORE .

Clint Eastwood gives films to Wesleyan Univ. archives (CPS) — Clint Eastwood made their day at Wesleyan Uni versity in Connecticut. Eastwood last week an nounced he will donate all docu ments and film relating to his career as an actor, producer and director to Wesleyan and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Persuading Eastwood to make the donation apparently wasn’t too difficult although it took him three years to clinch the deal. “We saw him, told him about the archive an'^ who was in it and kept in touch with him,” ex plained Jeanine Basinger, Wes- leyan’s Corwin-Fuller Professor of Film Studies and curator of the school’s cinema archive. Eastwood, currently out of the country could not be reached for comment about why he chose Wesleyan. Basinger speculated he might have been attracted by the other film folks in the cam pus’ collection: Ingrid Berg man, and directors Raoul Walsh, Elia Kazan and Frank Capra. Eastwood is known as a Capra fan. Basinger was more emphatic about why, on the other hand, Wesleyan chose Eastwood. “No one would ask why we wanted the working papers of James Joyce or Beethoven, but everyone’s asked about this,” she said. The Eastwood collection and others in the archive have their greatest value in “connecting alumni in the filmmaking world to scholars and critics” as well as to current students, Basinger said. Moreover, “because filmmak ing is viewed as a commercial enterprise, availability to film doesn’t always exist. Many doc uments are not kept. The ar chives is a place to rectify that problem and make available the documents that surround cre ating major motion pictures.” Eastwood is a proper subject for scholarly study, Basinger added, because “he’s a unique American artist. He has made films that are distinctively origi nal.” The donation has attracted i lot of attention and publicity, bu Eastwood himself has beei i| “just terrific about this,” | singer said. Other institutions have lesi happy experiences with donafe' tions. Massachusetts Judge John L Murphy Jr. last week ruled tha Coretta Scott King, civil righti i' leader Martin Luter King'i widow, can sue Boston Univer sity to retrieve papers her lalf ii. husband apparently had do nated to the school. She wants to transfer the do uments to the Martin Luth King center for Non-Violent Soj cial Change in Atlanta. King went to graduate schoi at BU, which has held the collei^ tion of his papers for 23 year! Mrs. King asserted BU hasri cared for them or displayed them well. BU, in reply, produced letten- from King seeming to bequealj t the papers to the school, anl' « challenged Mrs. King’s standiij to claim the papers. | Murphy’s ruling said she dii*' ® iHartna Scataurant Camden Causeway Phone 335-7307 Specializing in Fresh Seafoods and Steals Owned and Operated by CLARENCE MUNDEN KATHY MUNDEN ELIZABETH CITY’S ONLY RIVER SHORE RESTAURANT have a claim.
