, i Sidewalk chalk, band instruments, mu
ral paint and music kept Chapel Hill young
people busy at the Arts Downtown festival
.Saturday afternoon.
The festival included musical perfor
mances by the districtwide elementary cho
rus, string ensembles from Phillips and
McDougle middle schools, two choral
groups from Culbreth Middle School and a
variety of groups from Chapel Hill High
School.
Chalk drawings and a mural under the
direction of Michael Brown also kept stu
dents busy throughout the day.
Robert Humphreys, a member of the
Chapel Hill Downtown Commission, said
this year had proven to be one of the best
years for Arts Downtown. He said the

Extractions ‘Pull’ Off Snazzy
Concert With Humor, Music
There is only one word to describe Fri
day night’s Extractions concert: sensa
tional. Probably the least-known group in
this campus's sea of a cappella groups, the
Extractions are a six-man group from the
various professional schools here at UNC.
With selections ranging from oldies like
“Donna” to Modem English’s “Melt With
You,” the Extractions wowed the audi
ence with a stunning harmony.

the concert. For those of you who don’t
know, the group consists of Paul Bowman
(M.D. ’95), Srikant Iyer (M.D. ’97), Chip
Payet (D.D.S. ’94), Vic Spangler (D.D.S.
’94), Robb Stacy (J.D. ’97) and Mike
Whitfield (Ph.D.).
Even to a seasoned a cappella fan like
myself, the Extractions were very impres
sive. Their harmony on “Dream" rivaled
that of the Everly Brothers original, and
Whitfield’s booming bass in “Little Red
Riding Hood” was enough to send a shiver

cited kids and beautiful weather made the
afternoon ideal.
The groups decided to hold the festivi
ties on the plaza on top of the new parking
garage on Rosemary Street to avoid any
problems with traffic and to keep the fes
tivities close to the mural being painted
inside the garage by Michael Brown.
Seventh-grader Melissa Maxwell, 13,
of Culbreth Middle School said her favor
ite part of the afternoon was hearing bands
from different schools.
“Everyone is getting to come together
and learn from each other,” Melissa said.
“I like to hear how other schools’ bands
sound so that we can learn from them and
improve our own band.”
Sara Growe, also a seventh-grader from
Culbreth, said her favorite performance
was by the string ensembles from Culbreth
and McDougle.
Sara and Melissa performed with the
of fear through anyone.
More well-known selections performed
by the group included “Jimmy Olsen’s
Blues,” “29 Ways,” the jazzy tune “Can’t
Stop” and “Mickey.”
In addition to the powerful and compel
ling musical effort, the concert was pep
pered with skits, as most a cappella shows
are. But these were unique because they
honestly kept the audience laughing out
loud.
One skit, a quick overview of “The
Wizard of Oz,” was hilarious, with
Spangler playing the roles of the Good
Witch, the Wicked Witch and the Wizard
to aT.
Yet another outstanding performance
was Whitfield’s rendition of “Superman,”
by the Crash Test Dummies. As you might
know, the Crash Test Dummies are known
for their unmistakable bass lines.
The Extractions closed the concert with
an encore performance of Eric Clapton’s
seductive tune “Wonderful Tonight, ” sung
by Bowman. Combining their knack for
comedy and music, the members of the
Extractions put on an unforgettable and
remarkable concert.
BlackUndergraduate/GraduateMixer “Every
thing You Want to Know About Graduate School”

band later in the afternoon. They said they
had practiced their music pieces, which
included songs from “The Litde Mermaid”
and “Beauty and the Beast,” since Janu
aiy.
Many of the musical groups chose songs
from popular Disney movies. Agroupfrom
McDougle named “Wired for Sound”
showed off its talent for both song and
dance to a variety of tunes from “The Lion
King.”
Seventh-grader Elizabeth Thomas, 13,
and sixth-grader Charlotte Baxter, 12, both
of Culbreth Middle School said their favor

“I helped paint some of the cows on the
mural, and that was fun,” Elizabeth said.

incident.
Three minutes later and only a block
away, Chapel Hill police reported a fight at
Granville Towers East building in Univer
sity Square.
The fight broke out at 2:13 a.m. after a
man had been drinking, according to po
lice reports.
That man suffered severe lacerations
from a blunt object, Chapel Hill police
reports state.
Just before 3 a.m., the police began
responding to another spurt ofheavy activ
ity.
Officers were called in to break up what
reports called an “unlawful assembly” in
the central business district on the 100
blocks of East and West Franklin Street.
On Mallette Street at 2:52 a.m., a UNC
student was beaten and robbed, reports
state.
GREAT HALL
FROM PAGE 1
Some members of the crowd started to
jostle each other, and the situation devel
oped into what Walton described as “a
stampede.”
By about 12:30 a.m., University Police
had closed off a portion of South Road
from the light at Raleigh Street past the Bell
Tower to direct traffic, with throngs of
people still gathered in the street.
The privately sponsored party was open
to any student with a college identification
card, according to a flier distributed by the
fraternity.
Representatives from Alpha Phi Alpha
could not be reached for comment by press
time Sunday night.
The Great Hall parties, frequently spon
sored by black fraternities, have aJUstQty;
chose the theme of cave paintings for the
Rosemary Street Parking Deck mural.
“People have been complaining that the
parking garage seems cavernous," Brown
said. “We can’t escape that image of the
garage, so I decided to make the parking
deck seem more like a cave, rather than less
like a cave.”
He said the kids had been able to help
more with this mural than they had been in
past years. He said the cave paintings re
quired less editing and changing than other
themes he had chosen in the past.
“The cave paintings come natural to the
kids,” Brown said. “They are better at
prehistoric painting than I am.”
He said that he would like to fill the
entire parking deck with the cave paintings
and that he would continue to work on the
mural by himself until it was completed.
Brown said he should finish the mural
within two months.
The student, who had been drinking
alcohol before the incident, had his wallet
and SSO in cash stolen from him, reports
state.
Chapel Hill Police Department spokes
woman Jane Cousins said Sunday that the
number of crime reports for weekends var
ied.
Cousins said that weather and time of
year influenced the number of crimes in a
weekend but that it would be hard to com
pare crime in other weekends to this week
end.
Somewhat ironically, the wave of
crimes, none of which involved a gun, fell
on the same weekend that the second an
nual Buy Back the Hill task force took 119
guns off the streets.
No matter the kind of crime, robberies,
fights or assaults, Allen Baddour, chair
man of the Buy Back the Hill task force,
said he thought violence increased on week
ends, especially when free time and drink
ing were combined.
of run-ins with the police. On March 26,
1994, a fight broke out between UNC foot
ball players and students of Durham Tech
nical Community College. A Durham man
was arrested and charged with assault with
a deadly weapon after brandishing a gun at
the party.
That affray resulted in University offi
cials implementing a change in policy for
security at Great Hall events, which often
attract students from other local universi
ties. In April 1994, Union and University
officials revised the rules to require event
hosts to limit guests to one non-UNC stu
dent per UNC student, to leave all lights on
during the event and to discuss security
plans with University Police prior to the
event.
Last April’s Greek Freak was the first
event that was affected by the change in
• policy.

Max von Essen portrays the title role in the Company Carolina production of
‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ this weekend. The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim
Rice musical is co-sponsored by the Department of Communication Studies.
‘Jesus Christ Superstar’
Spotlights Campus Talent
Jesus Christ wasn’t the only “Super
star” at Company Carolina’s production
Saturday night. Each and every cast, crew,
staff and production member shined with
their own unique twinkle in Andrew Lloyd
Webber’s “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The
performance was undoubtedly the best I
have seen by a student group on campus—
it’s as simple as that. If you’ve seen it,
remember it. If you haven’t seen it go
now.
Perfectly

quite moving and magical. Directed by
Kyle Barrineau, “Jesus Christ Superstar”
combined supreme musical talent with top
notch acting to keep the audience on the
edge of its seats the entire show. The per
formance had a sort of mystical, super
natural quality to it. I nearly forgot that I
was confined to Studio One of Swain Hall.
It was the ultimate in viewing pleasure. It
was as though I was on a journey and the
characters within the production were lead
ing me through a series of special experi
ences. Truthfully, I learned quite a bit in all
of about two hours.
Interpreted to require minimal set and
costume, the musical didn’t need anything
but the performers. I was intrigued by Max
von Essen’s performance as Jesus Christ as
well as Sean Williams’ performance as
Judas. These are people who are going
somewhere with their voices. Lorelei
(Tfjr Sally Star Mrrl
Louisa McCarthy was equally impressive
as Mary Magdalene. Her rendition of
"Everything’s All Right,” was just as sooth
ing and beautiful as Sarah Brightman’s
performance on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s
The Premier Collection Encore.
The seven-member band literally held
“Jesus Christ Superstar” together, as it is
supposed to. The talent of the band en
abled the themes of the show to be intensi
fied several times. Acting as a sort ofbuffer
between the audience and the cast, the
ensemble performed moving music.
If I can cite only one quirk in the entire
performance, it is that the leading charac
ters had trouble during the first act actually
letting their talent showthrough. Mechani
cal motions and stem facial expressions
inhibited performance during much of the
first act. The second act was a completely
different story —each and every character
was bursting with a feeling and emotion
that flowed over to the audience. Each
choreographed dance scene was lively and
enthusiastic and bursting with energy.
Perhaps the most compelling scenes
were Judas’ death and Christ’s crucifixion,
dramatized with awesome lighting and
special effects. What could have turned
into a rather cheesy, poorly adapted pro
duction ended up staged with elegance and
grace.
The entire University community should
sit up and take notice of Company
Carolina’s achievement and, for goodness
sake, give it.some more space—the group
deserves it.' ' ‘ "
