Creative Arts Program blasted
To the Students:
It is time that your paper
can print the true story of the
Creative Arts Program in Music.
The program (in music) is
regretably turning out students
far below the national norm.
Any student or faculty
favoring changes beneficial to
the department (as well as the
entire university) come under
the wrath of the administration
(our beloved String Quartet!)
bent on self-centered
continuation of a program at all
costs, caring very little for the
people they walk on in the
process.
To say the very least, this is
probably the most politically
oriented department in the
university system. The graduate
emerges with little more than
musical experience and the
know-how it takes not to rub
the Quartet member(s) in the
wrong way. The BCA music
student makes in one semester
that amount of music a music
student at our sister campus
(Chapel Hill) makes in one or
two weeks, with one difference.
Chapel Hill's administration isn't
parading all about steeped in self
promotion! Our administration's
first concern is not teaching, so
therefore our students suffer.
(Some students excell due to the
efforts of the oppressed (and
terminated) faculty).
Two of the music faculty
were recently terminated by the
dynasty (our dear chairman!)
without regard to the fact that a
great teaching burden is borne
on their shoulders. Both are
quite capable teachers and
performers who have greatly
influenced the intellectual
growth of the students through
several beneficial and
informative seminars. But their
efforts mught be praised and
you know all praise is due our
beloved Quartet!
Why then do you ask am I
not in Chapel Hill?
I love the atmosphere of
Nazi Germany, Machiavelli and
Peyton Place.

Commuter Association
defended by Sims,Larlee
To the Students:
In his column of March 16,
Doug Lerner took a hard look at
the Commuter Association in
light of the recent elections.
Doug correctly stated that the
most votes cast for a Commuter
Association office was only 233
out of a constituency of 5000.
However, Doug's conclusion
was flawed. Doug seemed to imply
that due to the lack of voter
turnout the Commuter
Association does not represent
commuter interests.
If one follows this line of
reasoning one must also
conclude that Student
Government doesn't represent
the student body and PIRG's
recent victory was a farce.
Fortunately, none of these

conclusions are valid, for the
basic premise does not hold.
It is a sad and often stated
fact that apathy runs rampant
on this camp'js. It is not the
propose of this letter to explore
or condemn apathy. It is the
decision of each student to set
his or her priorities. However, it
is a factor one must constantly
keep in mind when considering
campus affairs.
One of the main purposes
of the Commuter Association is,
to combat campus apathy
among commuters. The
Commuter Association
represents an open forum
available to all who wish to use
it. If the Association did only
this, its existence would be
more than justified, but it does
much more. ^
The Commuter Association
is neither a private empire nor a
threat to the campus. It is'
merely an avenue for concerned
commuters to integrate socially
and politically in the campus
community. All are welcome.

It still isn’t too late to recount the exciting trip up to the NiT
Students, faculty, alumni and some Charlotteans found somef *
between the ’Frisco game and the championship game
Kentucky to make their way to the Big Apple.
I went up to New York City for the first and last games I’m
sure you aU have talked about each game over and over again to th
point of memorizing the plays backwards and forwards. Well
Gary, the Observer writer, broke up the tension as he gave differs t
renditions of observations of people and their experiences in N ™
York. Especially the accounts of the “ever-present, puffy eved™
Tommy PrUes, Pep Band President. I, too, found my'trips excitino
amusing tiring and costly. I have a few accounts that I’d like tx
share with you.
The first trip gave me sort of a culture shock. All you knew
what to do was act like a tourist-visit Wall Street the UniteH
Nations, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center tS
Statute of Liberty, Greenwich Village and Chinatown and so 'on
That was the first trip.
A three bus convoy left Friday night for the Sundav
Championship game. A bit of Southern hometown country flavor
carried the passengers as the Kannapolis Transit vehicles made their
way clank-clank, lickety split up to Manhattan. Well one of the
buses had a flat-which took about and a half hours to get fixed
This was indeed a bad omen and I knew the weekend was off to a
bad street. ^
As we approached Manhattan, my bus was the leader. The
driver had directions, but claiming to know them myself I
proceeded to navigate. I got us across the Bay to the island and I
must have taken awrong turn. In fact, after we noticed Wall Street
the financial district and the Bowery, a place where penniless wino
drunks lie literally in the gutters and on the median strips in the
road. We' gave up and attempted to seek directions-but in
Chinatown?!
By the time we reached the hotel, everyone was exhausted
mostly from the ride, but those in the first bus had to put up with
George Metcalf and his 101 Impersonations.
After registration and a hot shower we went out for a night on
the town. I figured that President Nixon and Chancellor Colvard
visited China, so the closest I figured I would get to China was a visit
to Chinatown. The food was good, but that is the first place I’ve
been where I couldn’t carry on a conversation.
As our group entered a Pizza Parlor we observed Doctor J a
student by the name of Mike Jones, half crooked still chiding the
sisters of Delta Delta Delta sorority for bringing their books and
visiting the Qty Library as their main point of interest. But that was
not totaUy true because one tri-delt, Terry Love, is said to have been
seen riding the subway in the wee hours of the morning. Doctor J’s
mind was blown after he made more rounds to the bars, so much
that he never made it back to the room and could recount.the next
morning.
Last but not least, everyone visited Broadway or attended one
of the plays, “Mrs. Warren’s Profession,” “Pippin,” “Equus,” etc.
Most people enjoyed this well known spot of entertainment.
****************
Speaking of Broadway - UNCC's drama department is by far a
long shot from the caliber of Broadway, but there is an excellent
play being produced by students in the department this week. The
play is The Caucasian Chalk Circle” by the famous playwright
Bertold Brecht. This two act play runs this Thursday until Sunday.
As Ronald Reagan switched from showbiz to politics, I am
switching from politics to showbiz. Priles and I make our debut in a
small role as soldiers. 'This play is predicted to be the best ever. The
stage and cast are above board. Student tickets are only $1.00, it
would be well worth your while to attend.
