WAR
by henry wilson
Bowling season officially began
Saturday, November 13th for
UNCC’s 49ers at Appalachian
State University. Five slots will be
open for Senior John Lingdren
and Sophomore Dick Reiman,
both letterman, Keith Clark, Jim
Furr, Gene Benfield, Steve
Turner, and Freshman girl
Adrienne Crawford. The five
bowlers will roll 5 games each and
compete for a possible 90-team
points.
Each individual can earn 16
points by winning all five of his
games (10 points) and
automatically collecting 6 points
for total pins. The additional 10
points is awarded for total team
pins.
Each point is important
because team standings are kept
by number of points rather than
Won-Loss record.
The bowling team is a member
of the Southern Intercollegiate
Bowling Conference, which is
divided up into 4 divisions:
Central, Northern, Southern, and
Coastal. UNCC is in the Central
division along with Appalachian,-
Clemson, and Tennessee. The
schedule includes home-and-home
matches against each team in their
division. Home matches Jan. 22
against Appalachian, and March
25 against Clemson, and practices
from 2:30 to 4:30 Wednesday
afternoon are held at North 29
Lanes.
Donald McKay, coach, didn’t
predict how his team, whose
averages ranges from 160 to 190,
will place since the Conference
was set up different last year. The
outcome will not be determined
until the Conference Tournament
in April. All teams are eligible to
win the championship, regardless
of their regular season record, in
the Round-Robin format.

In order to understand War,
you first have to understand that
it was not meant to be
understood...it was meant to be
experienced. War concerned itself
with conflict. These things are
known about the exercises for the
theatre based on the play by
Jean-Claude van Itallie which were
performed in the Experimental
Theatre of the Rowe Creative Arts
Building November 18, 19, and
20th. Any other assertion would
be either personal interpretation
or speculation.
Like a universe in miniature.
War allowed you to pick and
choose your own meaning and
reality. You had to piece together
from among all the kaledioscopic
and overlapping cross-sections or
reality those which you were
prepared to relate to yourself and
thereby, “order” ^ meaning. In
other words, an involved and
sensitive viewer was drawn into
the action and became the central
core and unifying influence of this
ritualistic play. It can readily be
assumed that for some it was a
total loss while for others it was a
totally enveloping and awesome
experience, depending on whether
or not you need a given structure
or can create your own.
For the receptive. War used the
mind as a canvas and painted vivid
chimerical images that confronted
and conflicted each the other. As
you began to make the parts into
the whole, the real beauty of the
thing became apparent because
there was no whole...just an
awesome discrete feeling of
understanding that seemed the
product of some strange and alien
system of logic that defied human
analysis. It was as if the action
and ritual had drawn you into a
self-sufficent reality that you were
afraid to examine too closely
because you were afraid that the
feeling of understanding would
disappear.
The action of the play
consisted of various exercises and
rituals which at first were
disconcerting but quickly became
intriguing. The vocal text was a
model of incoherence and
disjunctivity, composed primarily
of ahs, ohs, ha-ha-has, oh-oho-ohs,
moans, groans, sibilants and
crepitations. Strange? Yes. But
what is strange is that this
unlikely cacaphony of movement
and sound becomes an instrument
of sublime communication and
subtle suggestion. With time, the
eeriely beautiful action makes
wonderful sense as the viewer is
drawn almost as if by Sirens into
a review
the thick of the fray. Thus carried
away, the bizare becomes the
normal and the mind is free to
draw its own inferences.
The company which presented
War consisted of Richard
Abernathy, Bruce Black, Randy
Freeze, Diane Hoff, Libby
Ingram, Heather Thompson, and
Pam Westrick. Each member of
the company was an integral part
of the action which called for
great sensitivity and creativity. No
one was given a set
characterization and the open
structure of the production
allowed each one to participate in
various ways. The result was some
very polished and successful
interaction. The format of the
play allowed great opportunity
for self-expression and
improvisation. At the end of the
performance, each member of the
company was exhausted — both
mentally and physically. But
everyone — including the audience
— was euphoric.
Another contributing factor to
the effect of the play was the’
sound. The improvisations which
accompany the play were devoid
of explicit musical content and
were unique as auditory
experiences — much like the play.
Shades of Gyorgy Lipti, they
enabled the listener to escape the
solecism of structural coherence
and concentrate on the textural
aspects of sound. A very fitting
corollary to the play.
James Hindman, who
coordinated and arranged the
production, has done an excellent
Job developing and presenting this
type of experimental theatre. The
company presented War as an
experiment and it is still
undergoing development.
Hopefully, there will be more of
this type of presentation at UNCC
in the future.

I asked professors who teach the meaning of life
to tell me what is happiness. And 1 went to the
famous executives who boss the work of thousands
of men. They all shook their heads and gave me a
smile as though I was trying to fool them. And then
one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the
Desplaines River. And I saw a crowd of Hungarians
under the trees with their women and children and a
keg of beer and an accordian.
