Colorful Side
Of Greece
Travel photography often can present a
limited view of places, seen only through
the eyes of the touring photographer, but a
University faculty member’s recent trip to
Greece has produced works that transcend
the usual to offer a more complete picture
of the nation and its inhabitants.
“Greece Revisited, ” a collection of pho
tographs by L. Scott Campbell capturing
the essence of Greece, is on display at the
George Watts
Hill Alumni
Center.

more than a thousand that Campbell shot
as “constant reminders ofbeautiful places.”
Those featured in the exhibition concen
trate on the landscape and architecture of
Greece, rather than the people.
“I thought these pictures could high
light thebeauty ofthe Greek people through
their environment,” he said. “The country
is a collage of fascinating landscapes.”
Campbell, an assistant professor of so
cial medicine in the School of Medicine,
took the black-and-white and color photo
graphs while on vacation this summer. He

Professor L Scott Campbell demonstrates skill and creativity with black-and-white landscapes such as ‘Dawn at
Paroikia, Paros, Greece,' which effectively captures the quiet stillness of a waterfront one early morning.
also photographed Greece in 1984, which
resulted in an exhibition called “Cyclades
Odyssey: A Photographic Essay.”
For his latest exhibit, Campbell did not
limit himself to the islands of Greece. He
explored central and northern , areas for
eight days. “This time, we wanted to get a
sense of the true Greece and tour parts of
the inland,” he said.
The majority of the photographs in the
exhibition are in color, but Campbell said
he was interested in exploring the black
and-white medium further.
He does make good use of the color
element through interesting compositions
that juxtapose the clean,white buildings
with dashes of color surrounding them.
“Zagoria Village, Pindos Mountains” is a
landscape of somewhat dilapidated build
ings made cheery through the brightness of
laundry and curtains. “Contrast” also uses
color well and is taken from an interesting
angle, revealing a green door against white
stairs. “You just can’t capture a lot of this
magic in black and white,” Campbell said.
Some of the black-and-whites are very
successful, however. “Homecoming,” one
of the works that concentrates on people,
is powerful inblackand white. Color would
have detracted from the emotions con-

Campbell’s interesting angles give ordi
nary landscapes added life. His “Venetian
Fort, Natpaktos” is particularly striking, in
which a picturesque waterscape is seen
through the stone arch of a fort. Also spec
tacular are “Agia Trias Monastery,
Meteora” and “Roussanou Monastery,
Meteora, ” two shots of buildings carefully
crafted on high peaks. Though the photo
graphs look like they were taken from an
airplane, he photographed them from other
pinnacles for a breathtaking result.
The alumni center’s exhibit space is not
as breathtaking, namely the hall’s poor
lighting and glare from nearby windows.
But the power of Campbell’s visions of
Greece is not diminished by this deterrent.
The exhibit will be showing at the alumni

Quiet Beauty of Campus
Walking into the George Nick exhibit
at the Ackland Art Museum is shocking.
His oil paintings of campus bring the build
ings to life and invite you inside.
Think ofhow many times you walk past
the Smith Center, Person Hall, the Kenan
Center and the law school with little notice
of them. It’s part of your everyday sched
ule nothing special.

Nick to make an artistic record of UNC.
He spent six weeks outdoors with his can
vas discriminately painting his subject
campus.
The results are an entirely new and
different perspective of the University.
Nick’s campus is one you haven’t seen yet.
The exhibit is part of the Bicentennial
Observance but does not cooperate with its
grandiose, formal image. The paintings
are far from the stiff, boring landscapes and
still-lifes you might expect. They have then
own character and style.
Nick captures campus as it is in daily
life. For example, in the painting “Isaac
Taylor Building” he includes bicycle racks
and bicycles. In “Ackland Museum Court
yard-Halloween” there is a water hose
strewn on the ground and a person sitting
Indian-style reading.
Viewers commented on the paintings’
“glorious” colors and “strange” perspec
tive.
At first glance, the paintings have
straight, hard lines. The buildings are fixed
and perfect. This is only an illusion. Up

past. Yeltsin paid a highly publicized visit
to a military base just last week in a pos
sible attempt to rally support.
Khasbulatov urged the police and mili
tary to ignore orders from the president
and appealed for a nationwide general
strike. Yeltsin made similar calls in 1991.
“Do not fulfill any illegal decrees com
ing from the president, ” Khasbulatov said.
“These decrees are considered invalid.”
It was unclear how the public would
respond to Yeltsin’s sudden assault on his
opponents. Public opinion polls repeat
edly have showed little support for the
Communist-dominated parliament.
Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin
told reporters the Cabinet supports Yeltsin.
He also said there were no unusual troop
movements and that there would be no
attempt to storm the White House.
The constitution, draftedin Soviet times,
does not specifically give the president
authority to dissolve parliament or call
elections.
But Yeltsin has often argued that, as
president, he has the authority to take
actions not specifically barred by the con
stitution.

close, the lines become softer and disap
pear into thick brushstrokes and shading.
All of the paintings have a kind of “shad
owing” effect. This is Nick’s magic. It’s
similar to a stage technique used in plays
like “Romeo and Juliet. ” During the scenes
at night, patterns of leaves can be seen on
the stage floor.
Nick achieves the same effect on can
vas. Shadows of trees blanket the painting
of the Carolina Inn creating a lazy, roman
tic quality. Surrounding tree shadows also
coat the door of Person Hall. This natural
shading gives the buildings character,
makes them more real.
A bright salmon-peach is the dominant
color in most all of the pieces. It is eye
catching and almost blinding at first, like
sunshine on white cement. The color de
mands attention.
When it rained during Nick’s stay, he
did a reproduction of the museum’s Corot
landscape, “Rocks by a Stream.” This is
one of the only paintings outside the Uni
versity theme. He achieves the same dark
colors and linear movement as the original
but loses some of its dark, mystical quali
ties in the end.
Nick received a master’s degree from
Yale in the early 19605. He spent several
years teaching at the Carnegie Institute of
Technology in Pittsburgh, the Maryland
Institute in Baltimore and the University
of Pennsylvania. In the late 19605, he
moved to Boston where he now practices
his art.
Nick’s Chapel Hill paintings will be on
display in the Ackland Museum’s East
Gallery through Nov. 7. Festivities for the
show and the Bicentennial Observance are
planned for November when Nick will
return to Chapel Hill to discuss his work.

and WUNC-FM.
Nancy Davis, director of communica
tion for the Bicentennial Campaign, said it
was not uncommon for universities under
taking a large fund-raising project to fall
short in individual project goals but to
exceed their overall goals.
“While we are striving to meet all our
subgoals, it really isn’t uncommon, ” Davis
said. “As more departments meet their
goals, we will be able to focus our attention
on those that have not,” she said.
Davis said she also thought the Univer
sity wouldn’t have a problem in reaching
its goal for the Bicentennial..
The Bicentennial Campaign began in
1983 and will continue to accept pledges
and donations through June 1995.

dent affairs, said Stone, who helped to
develop the black cultural center, was a
pioneer in black cultural appreciation and
understanding.
“Dr. Stone, along with a number of
others, provided some very important an
tecedents for our black cultural center, ” he
said. “You see, by the time we open the
doors for our new building, we will have a
cultural tradition on this campus that is
almost 25 years old.”
During her years at the UNC, from
1974 until her death in 1991, Stone was
involved in the development of several
campus organizations. She also played a
key role in the creation of the African-
American studies curriculum.
Audreye Johnson, a professor in the
school of social work and a colleague of
Stone’s, said Stone taught concern and an
improved respect for African Americans.
"This is our pledge to your legacy, Sonja:
We will keep your legacy alive in our
memory if you’ll keep an eye on us as we
get our black cultural center,” she said.
Jimmy Hitchcock, co-founder of the
Black Awareness Council, said he remem
bered Stone as a fighter.
“We come here to celebrate one of our
warriors,” he said. “She was a warrior who
worked to set minds free, but she also set
souls free.”
She showed her students opportunities
and ideas they had been unable to see, he
said. “She opened the doors to the books,”
he said. "And she set forth a movement for
everyone to get those books.”
