After being invited by Carolina Seminars to come to UNC, Roschina chose Melentiev and Lissitchenko to bring Feinberg’s legacy abroad. Melentiev is a seasoned professional who has toured throughout the world playing with the Bolshoi Theater. Roschina chose Lissitchenko because of her age as well as ability. the Johnston Center.

Despite her age and skill, however, Lissitchenko’s perspective on her career is markedly different from most for ward-thinking American students. “We never organize a plan for the future in Russia,” she said, through Sigida’s interpretation. But the future looks secure for the conservatory, which has not only sur vived but excelled throughout Russia’s stormy history since its 1866 founding. “We have these economic problems and these political problems,” Sigida said, “but we keep our music traditions.” Neff received a Fulbright Fellowship to spend a year at the conservatory in 1998, and has spent much of the last two years trying to bring Russian music and playing styles to the States. In the end Carolina Seminars agreed to spon sor the program, a departure from its normal slate of lectures. Roschina will give master classes in a performance at 3 p.m. today in Hill Hall Auditorium and 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the Auditorium of Carol Woods Retirement Community, 750 Weaver Dairy Road. Melentiev will give a recital at 3 p.m. Sunday in Hill Hall Auditorium. The Arts 8 Entertainment Editor can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu. CHUMS Band Together for Test By Ashley Atkinson Arts & Entertainment Editor The Chapel Hill Underground Music Society, otherwise known as CHUMS, is really just that -a couple of guys who live on the same hall in Old West and like the same kind of music. “We figured out that if we started a club, we could take advantage of Chapel Hill Fest Go! Studios Tonight 6 p.m. $8 University resources,” said senior Jeff Bollinger, who, with junior Ben Rogerson, helped CHUMS become an official student organization last spring. CHUMS is sponsoring its first event tonight, an eight-band benefit festival at Go! Studios featuring hard-core rock acts. The show is part of this weekend’s Students United for a Responsible Global Environment Conference, and proceeds from it will benefit the Student Environmental Action Coalition. Rogerson and Bollinger began plan ning a music festival last semester, but after encountering the red tape involved with using a University facility looked to local clubs instead. “I pretty much spent the entire sum mer trying to get bands to play," Bollinger said, mainly through e-mails, Olde Campus Lower Quad Presents: Diversity in Political Thought: How Campaign 2000 Affects You! Monday, October 16, 2000 3rd Floor Aycock/Graham Lounge 6pm Refreshments Will Be Served. Distinguished Guests Include: Dr. Thad Beyle, Professor of Political Science Dr. Virgil Balthrop, Professor & Chair, Communication Studies Ms. Minh-Thu Pham, Community Representative Faculty, students, and community representatives from the Democratic, Republican, and Independent parties will take part in debating issues affecting college students in this year's presidential election. Interest in the political process is critical to increasing the power and influence of the student constituency both at the state and national levels. It is up to all students to become as informed as possible on the issues that affect them directly. All students/staff, and faculty, regardless of political affiliation, are encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

In the end, CHUMS enlisted eight bands from five states, including Washington, California, Virginia, South Carolina and Florida. The headlining band, Washington’s Botch, is “pretty popular, as far as metal bands go," Rogerson said. Other bands include Waifle, Submerge, the Killingtons, the Disease, Measured in Grey and the Victoria Principal. They all fall into what Bollinger defines as underground music - “stuff that’s typically not on major labels” - and align with CHUMS’ main interest in forms of underground rock. “Personally, most of the stuff we listen to is lots of hard-core metal and punk,” said Rogerson, adding, “That definitely doesn’t mean Korn or Limp Bizkit.” §EAC members will speak between acts at the benefit and distribute materi als relating to their causes. The event shares some values with SEAC and SURGE, Rogerson said, cit ing Botch, a vegan band. “The principles behind most of the QJfje Hally (Ear Hrri bands and most of the people who go to these shows coincide with SEAC and SURGE. They just listen to Phish and we don’t,” he said. After paying the venue and trans portation expenses for most of the bands, the rest of the proceeds the event earns will go to SEAC. “We just figured that if we’re going to have this giant fest, it would be best to benefit someone,” Bollinger said. While Bollinger said a few people have expressed interest in joining CHUMS’ ranks, for now just he and Rogerson are running the show. “There’s a small population that’s interested in the same music we are, and we’d like to get to know them,” he said. And if this event goes well, both said, CHUMS will look into sponsoring more in the future. “The success of this one will deter mine how many more activities we do," Rogerson said. “We’d be really open to trying to do another show or benefit in the spring, but that’s all depending on how this goes.” The Chapel Hill Fest to benefit SEAC will be held tonight at Go! Studios. Tickets are SB. For more infor mation, visit http://www.unc.edu/stu dent/orgs/chums. The Arts 8 Entertainment Editor can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu.
