New Arts Festival Offers
Cultural ‘Enlightenment’
... - . . ...11 - !• 1 'T’Ki 1 v» etl \/ A rvY'
This week has been an exciting
one on campus due to the New
Arts Festival being sponsored by
the Fine Arts Department. The
objective of the Festival “to sti
mulate interest in new directions
in art and to serve as a general
cultural enlightenment,” has been
carried in effective ways through
the appearance on campus of out
standing people in the field of the
arts.
Still to take part in the Festi
val are Mr. Wallace Kaufman who
will give a poetry reading in the
Parquet Room today and the show
ing of the film, “Romeo and Juliet
Ballet”.
Mr. Kaufman is presently a
Creative Arts Professor at UNC-
Ch. He has co-authored a book
with Jesse Rehder entitled, “The
Art of Writing”.
Gilbert Carpenter, chairman of
the Art Department at UNC-G,
will lecture on “Minimal Art,”
on Thursday, April 4. He has ex
hibited work in many art galleries
and shows.
The Festival features artist and
educator John Kehoe on Friday,
April 1. He is professor of art
at UNC-G. Mr. Kehoe, after study
ing for seven months in Italy,
brought to UNC-G a unique methi^
of bronze casting. His lecture is
entitled, “The Sculptor’s Art of
Bronze Casting.”

a deep feeling for the growth and
welfare of the students of the
University.
Mr. Billups feels the President
should be receptive to all stu
dents, faculty, and administra
tion on any question. Also he
feels the President should be a
clear thinker and realize the chal
lenges presented by a growing Uni
versity. “The president should be
an idealist as well as a realist,”
Mr. Billups commented.
Mr. Billups’ qualifications in
clude freshman representative
service, sophomore class vice-
president, vice-president of the
Junior Class, and Vice President
of the Student Body.
He feels that communications
between students on this campus
as well as the greater Univer
sity is an important phase of
University life that he would like
to develop.
The Student Party candidate for
President is Phil Wilson. “One of
my basic reasons for running,”
said Mr. Wilson, “is the support
I found among students.”
Mr. Wilson would like to see
more authority delegated to the
Presidency by the students. He
wants the office to be more than
a liason between students and ad
ministration.
He feels the office is for the
students, and that therefore it
should be representative of the
students.
Mr. Wilson realizes this stand
is a difficult one to take, but he
feels he can fulfill it.

New Dormitories Are Begnn Here
Contracts were awarded Wed
nesday, March 27, by this campus
tor the first air-conditioned dor
mitories to be built on a state-
supported campus in North Caro
lina.
Grading began that day for the
two twelve-story structures to
house 500 men and 500 women.
The air-conditioned feature is
expected to be a boon to summer
use of the dormitories for summer
school and conferences as well
as to year-round comfort for stu
dents.
In fact, the sweltering in late
spring, summer, and early fall
that most students remember will
never be experienced here. All
classrooms, laboratories, library
areas, and offices on campus are
being air-conditioned as they are
built. The only exceptions to the
air conditioning rule are some
warehouse, storage and other large
open-space areas.
Contracts were awwrded to the
following firms:
Little Construction Co., $2,183,
500, general contract; West-
inghouse Electric Corp., $;28,168,
elevators; Hensley

& Mosley,
Shanklln Air

bing; and Gamewell Mechanical
Contractors, $374,272, heatingand

tions inspired in rhythms and
moods by the composers of the
Americas.
Mr. Spivak says that Ginastera

posers of Latin America but is
also one of the most outstand
ing of contemporary composers.

stera’s two operas, “Don Rod
rigo” and “Bomarzo” when pre
