ahr Bailit (Ear Hrrl Box-Out targets homelessness Funds raised to go for services BY MARYANN BARONE STAFF WRITER Groups of students gathered around cardboard boxes pitched into tiny communities in the Pit on Thursday night to raise awareness about homelessness. The students were participating in the second annual Box-Out in the Pit for Poverty Awareness Week, held bv the Campus Y to inform the campus about poverty. The event was organized by the Campus Y's Hunger and Homelessness Outreach Project. "HOPE looks to raise people's awareness of different aspects of poverty." said Lindsay Guge, the future special projects coordina tor on the student executive board of Campus Y. “They look at what homeless people go through on a regular basis.’ Participants had the option of being sponsored, and the money raised will go to Project Homeless Connect, which provides several services to the homeless, including social service help, haircuts, medi cal examinations and information on housing. “1 am trying to gain more awareness because it is an issue 1 don’t think about often,' said sophomore Stephanie Maxwell, who participated. Maggie West, co-chairwoman of HOPE, said the main purpose was not only to raise awareness on the subject but to give students a hands-on learning experience. She RELAY FROM PAGE 3 Bugno said.

Bugno said that the event serves a number of functions for the campus community but that she hopes par 'BoS DANCE FROM PAGE 3 to buy tickets in advance all week in the Pit for $5. Tickets also will be sold at the door for SB, a price organizers say might deter some of the high school students from the dance. Russ, a disc jockey at the dance, said the most coveted DJ spots are around midnight, when high school students are approaching curfew and college students are just getting started. Those spinning the dance were selected based on DJ experience but more importantly on their enthusi asm for the music and the era “This dance gives us a chance to relive something we weren't exactly a part of," Brenner said. “But we can still enjoy it" And Heath and Russ said the righteous draw of the 'Bos might never let up, even further into the 21st century. “Honestly, in the words of Cyndi Lauper, girls just wanna have fun," Russ said. “And boys, too, 1 guess" Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@ unc.edu.

And students who participated in the event had more amenities than most homeless people have, includ ing a live band, food, company and other entertainment. They also watched a documen tary on the homeless in Chapel Hill, titled “Faces of Franklin." The event offered other activi ties for participants such as a per formance by the band Backbeat. The group opened up a free dinner in the Pit with cover songs from the '6os and ’7os. Later Ascella Vega, Swan Quarter, the Nothing Noise and Sababa also performed. And the UNC-Washington State basketball game was recorded and available for students who did not want to miss the game. The Box-Out also attracted interest by those passing by the area Thursday night. “Everyone is watching when they walk by," freshman Nora Lebow said. There were 11 registered villages containing 97 participants though that does not take into account the number of people who decided to join the event later without pre registration. “With all the people, it’s definite ly something that makes you stop and notice it," freshman Chelsea Gerhard said. The Box-Out also included speeches. The Faces of Homelessness Panel of the National Coalition for the Homeless spoke at the event. ticipants this year can take away the event’s larger picture and purpose. “We want people to leave Relay and know they are making a dif ference and to continue mak ing a difference, to know- that their efforts don't end on 2 p.m. Saturday," she said. “People need to be thinking about this and working toward this regularly and not just once a year."

Smith cited part of the UNC Tomorrow report to explain the mission the Center on Public Polity and similar institutions must serve: “UNC should create a mechanism for applying research and scholar ship to address significant regional and statewide issues."

After all, Cuban-born Gonzalo Rubalcaba doesn't have any huge U.S. tours under his belt. The 44- year-old didn't even leave his native island for the States until 1996. But Rubalcabas music, steeped in his childhood attraction to popular jazz artists like Thelonious Monk. Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker, has made many people at UNC con fident the show will be a hit. David Garcia, a professor in UNCs music department, has seen his brainchild come to fruition this week with the department's “Festival on the Hill," a four-day series highlighting various forms of modem music from Latin America. Rubalcaba s performance will be the culmination of the series. “Gonzalo is certainly the head liner, but there are so many special events going on this week," Garcia said. “It really emphasizes the complexity and diversity of Latin American music."

Gonzalo Rubalcaba will perform Latin American music Saturday at UNC's “Festival on the Hill.* artists such as Rubalcaba haven't exactly seen sparkling popularity in the U.S., there are still those on campus who say they appreciate his work. Allen Anderson, a professor in the music department, said the various shows are examples of why it's difficult to fit Latin American music into one category. “What exactly makes something Latin American music? That's w hat it focuses on," Anderson said. “The festival combines performance and scholarly work." Al Mask, a sophomore who stud ies jazz in the music department, said Rubalcabas show is a major opportunity to experience one of a broad range of genres present within American music. “Asa piano player, you admire people who are masters of your instrument," Mask said. “He embodies everything that is perfect Sudoku By The Mepham Group 2007 The Mepham Group Distributed by Tribune Media Services All rights reserved Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) con tains every digit 1 to 9 For strategies on how to solve Sudoku visit www. sudoku org.uk.

Mask said that he bought his tick et to the performance in September but that it seems ticket sales haven't been too brisk since then. “Not many people know about him," Mask said. “And not many people know how to appreciate that music. It’s about exposure. One of the major misconceptions about jazz is that it is exclusive." He said the performance could serve to familiarize students with Rubalt-aha and similar artists. “This guy's a big deal." Mask said. “But he does it completely for the music. And even for people who don't know much about jazz, the show is going to blow you away." Anderson suggested the breaking down of artificial boundaries within Latin American music is w hat could attract people to the performances. "The aim is to broaden the context of I-atin American music," he said. “YVe don’t think that it s just salsa." Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk(a unc.edu.
