uunocs nwnQi COLISEUM ACTION...The dream weav ing basketball quintet from on the hill stitched another design in their mythical CIAA Southern Division winner’s cloak. This difficult stitch was made through the unwilling help given by the Norfolk State Spartans from up Virginia way, and the tenacious playing of junior center James George and junior guard Phil Flores. The Bulls took the chill off the crowd with some devastat ing fast breaks in the first half of the con test. These point pro ducing fetes led to a 51-$) halftime score over the 3rd ranked small college in the NAIA. The second half of the game be longed to James George ^hose fear Bob Johnson less deflkive play and clutch baskets kept the Bufls in control on their way to an eventual 93-90 triumph. To this win I can only add that we are always looking to the future, the present satisfies us momentarily. Our ideal though, whatever it may be, lies further on - CIAA Tournament Championship. Somewhere around 4,500 people helped rally the Goldeh Bulls to victory, among them were Gerald Bridges, Freddy Dial, James Dodd, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Foster, Early Vaughters, Jimmy Teeter, Carolyn Vaughn, Jimmy Witherspoon, Mr. and Mrs. Gregg Watts, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Springs, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Stitt, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Orr and Fran Fairer. Valerie Floyd, Kenneth Golden and Charles Sanders were the 3 prize winners in this 100 Club-sponsored event. SPIRITED PERFORMANCE...Music, it calls in my spirits, composes my thoughts, delights my ear, recreates my mind, and so not only fits me after business, but fills my heart, at the present, with pure and useful thoughts, so that when the music sounds the sweetest in my ears, truth commonly flows “warn*** Herbie Mann and nis new international baiitPs Wires1 unwind show last Friday night, at Spirit Square’s Performance Place, possessed a bluesy sweetness. The band played with a distinct Latin and Indian flavor, produced by an electric bass, a Latin percussionist and a tabla - player. Herbie Mann had led his wondering band of street players through a good many night clubs, Rotarian picnics and State Depart ment tours before his first album recorded at the Village Gate put him into what is loosely called the hit class. “Cornin’ Home, Baby” and the impact of the first “Village Gate” LP skyrocketed Herbie into the big time LP seller ranks. His combination of bosa nova and blues has kept his albums firmly established on the hit lists and the variety of meterial played by the group continues to build fans. Jazz is a music of constant modification. The really talented people in the business are constantly searching for something a bit different, a change of sound maybe; dif ferent instrumentation; perhaps a different kind of material. Herbie Mann is no different. His performance at Spirit Square proved as much. Some of the many people on hand to enjoy Mann’s brand of music were Mr. and Mrs. Ben Wherry, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Barclay, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Easley, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. William Frye and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Collins ZODIAC AFFAIR...Generally speaking, Capricornians are ambitious, always look ing out for promoters or a raise in salary. They do not have to keep up with the people next door; they either are the people next door or are already ahead of them. They are splendid businessmen, and the positive Capricornian will surely make the grade if he sets out to do so. Capricornian wives will do their share of pushing their husbands (and themselves) up the social ladder. Capricorns also know how to have a good time. Last Saturday night several Capricorns hosted their second annual party. This year’s function took place at the lovely home of Clarence and Vera Williams on Bradgate Drove. The Capricorns responsible for the food, drinks and overall merriment were Odell Robinson Jr., Vera Williams, Curt Ardrey, Gloria Tatum and Bessie Hollis Some of their guests were Yvonne Dooley, Alvin Roland, Jerry Dooley, Gwen Mc Cullough, Leonard White, Allie Grant, Leroy (Product) Watkins Jr., Polly-Grier, Mike Cottori, Carl Clegg, Gwen Diggs, Brenda Richardson, Theresa Richardson, Jack Shropshire, Clarence Williams, Hattie Ardrey, Paul Glover and James Glover. \ Charles Minton Is Ouiet Debonair Gentleman By Teresa Burns Post Staff Writer Charles E. Minton Jr. is a quiet, debonair gentleman. His speech is barely au dible at times - in direct contrast to his art. which thunders with emotion and beauty.

"One doesn’t only invest in the art work and the picture,” Minton ex plained. “but one invests in the copper as well.” To Minton's knowledge, he is the only N.C. profes sional artist who has de veloped a complete line of copper works. “It’s a type of European art I craft dver 150 dif ferent types of pictures.'.’ His collection includes “King Tut," "Napoleon," “The.

Minton's works are real istic - as if one could actually see his "Madon na" and child breathing. All facial-features are CHARLES MINTON ...Displays handcrafted Madonna exaggerated to full black ness.' Each figure is de finitely an extension of the artist. “You must put your whole heart, body and soul into art. It’s something you have to love to do. You just don’t get up everyday and do a picture - you Ijpve to feel within,” Minton shared Minton’s individual works can take from eight hours to a month to com plete His art has been on exhibit at Northwestern Bank, Freedom Park’s W.

His works are available 'lor residential, commer cial, industrial and insti tutional decor ranging from $85 to over $204 While he may product morethan one Drummer or more than one Madonna, each individual work will possess distinguishable characteristics. Each one is handcrafted to perfec tion and to the taste and color of the buyer. ‘‘AH ot my art is not alike," Minton explained "I might add certain color and I use chemicals to dye it to get the shading." Minton s inmeasurable talents bring forth a multi tude of pictures and each one, he believes, conveys a different message. Alexander Is Chamber’s First JCSU Intern ms.
