Leonhardt said that the police and fire
departments and the Haz-Mat teams re
sponded to calls for help after the chemical
spill quickly. He said that their investiga
tions would continue although the store
had now reopened.
The store was closed for approximately
eight hours before it was deemed safe,
Leonhardt said.
“We probably lost a pretty good bit of
business, but we had to take every precau
tion,” he said. “We just had to make sure
everything was 100 percent safe for every
one.”

FIESTA
FROM PAGE 1
The celebration attracted people of dif
ferent backgrounds from all over the state.
A board posted with the title “Where in the
World Are You From?” featured a map for
people to mark their places of origin. The
countries included such diverse locations
as Mexico, Spain and South Africa.
Herrera said he was pleased with how
the festival turned out. “It has been a com
plete success,” he said. “It’s a sample of
what a community can do when they unite
forces.”
Broun seemed excited by the Fiesta.
“This is a great turnout, ” he said. “I'm very
delighted to be here.”
Some UNC students decided to check
out the free festival as well. CHispA, UNC’s

Clapton Stuns Sold-Out Crowd at
Smith Center With Blues Revue
■ Clapton’s strictly blues
performance presents anew
musical side to his fans.
EC. Slowhand. The most bluesy white
boy around. Rock and blues legend Eric
Clapton has wowed his audiences since
the ’6os, and Saturday night’s concert at
the Dean E. Smith Center was no different.
Clapton’s show was billed as “An
Evening of
Blues with Eric
Clapton.”
What that
meant for
Clapton fans
was no
ERIK PEREL
“Layla,” no “Lay Down Sally,” no “Tears
in Heaven.” Instead, he stayed with blues
covers off his From the Cradle album. Add
ing to the bluesy aura of the show was the
opening act, blues guitarist Clarence
“Gatemouth” Brown, who is a legend in
his own right. Brown’s 30 minute, down ’n
dirty performance got the crowd ready for
what was to be a show not soon to be
forgotten.
Excitement and tension filled the air as
the lights went down. No one knew how
Clapton would begin, but most seemed to
CONGRESS
MINUTES
A summary of actions taken at the last
Student Congress meeting.
SL-77-001 An act to adopt criteria for student
hardship parking.
The act adopts a set of criteria recommended by
the Student Parking Committee for allocating hard
ship parking spaces.
Adopted by a vote of 13-6-4.
Signed into law by Student Body President Calvin
Cunningham.
SL-77-002 An act to amend Title II of the Student
Code.
had a table selling T-shirts and jewelry.
Jessica Rios, president of the group, said
sales had gone well. “We’ve done more
than we expected,” she said. “I think it’s
just because it’s such a big crowd out here. ”
Manson said the festival was completely
ran by volunteer efforts, including ham
radio operators who helped with commu
nications . Despite the size of the event, she
said things had gone smoothly.
“Everybody’s just kind of pitched in,”
she said. “It just takes a lot of coordination
and communication. It’s been tiring, but
it’s been well worth it.”
The festival was alcohol-free, which lent
to its pro-family, pro-community atmo
sphere. “This is about coming together and
having fun in a healthy way, ” Herrera said.
Rodney Derrick, a Durham resident,
said he was impressed by the event. “It’s
just a magic mingling of cultures.”
approve when he started with “Motherless
Child.”
That first song set the mood for the
entire evening. Clapton played masterful
remakes of songs by such blues artists as
Robert Johnson, Eddie Boyd, Elmore
James and John Lee Hooker. Never for
getting his musical heritage, though,
Clapton flashed pictures of each artist on
projection screens that the entire audience
could see. When the screens weren’t filled
with images of past blues greats, they fo
cused mainly on Clapton’s magical fin
gers, which danced effortlessly across the
guitar strings.
Clapton seemed to flow from song to
song. Even when he changed guitars be
tween songs, the dead time seemed to be a
logical extension of the music.
UNC junior Brett Perry agreed. “I
thought it was a good arrangement of
songs,” Perry said. “He chose a different
variety of blues artists and did some of his
own blues. It was a good mix.”
The audience seemed to get more ex
cited when Clapton played some of his
more recognizable songs, such as “Before
You Accuse Me,” “Crossroad Blues" and
“Have You Ever Loved a Woman.”
However, some concertgoers were up
set that Clapton didn’t include a few of his

more popular songs. “I was very disap
pointed,” UNC junior Ben Lepow said.
“Of the three Eric Clapton concerts I’ve
seen at the Dean Dome, I’d say that this
was the third best—not the worst, but the
third best.”
Even those who were upset at Clapton’s
choice of songs were amazed at the length
of the concert.
Not many performers these days can or
will play for two hours without a break.
The only sign of fatigue Clapton displayed
was his occasional use of a towel to wipe
the sweat off his face.
Besides the set choice, the two things
that concertgoers complained about most
were the sound and the one-return encore.
“The venue was way too large for an inti
matebluesshow,”Lepowsaid. “Theacous
tics in the Dean Dome were some of the
worst I’ve ever heard.”
The audience went wild when Clapton
returned for his encore of “Ain’t Nobody’s
Business,” but the excitement fizzled into
stunned disappointment when Clapton left
the stage and did not return.
However, as far as concert performers
go, Clapton is a true master, and he showed
every bit of his skill Saturday night. Time
after time, Slowhand proves he can keep
on rolling.
