It's called the "Dome Pro
ject." Multimedia ex
perience. Huh?
On May 25, Don Evans, a
masters candidate in art, will
present his thesis to the public.
It will involve sound, com
puters, projectors and even ac
tors. And the Morehead
Planetarium. That's why it's
called the Dome Project
nine projectors will flash slides
onto sections of the
planetaritum's dome.
Sometimes during the one
hour experience the nine im
ages will form one larger im
age. At times the images will
move, break up and change
color.
Should you call it a hippie
happening? Not if you don't
want to be clouted by Evans.
Evans takes the Dome Pro
ject seriously. It was his
soberness that landed him the
use of the planetarium to begin
with.
"Few people know this,"
Evans said recently, 'but the
planetarium must be self-supporting.
They don't let anyone
mess arond in there. This is
the first time the Morehead
Planetarium has offered
anything like this."
Evans was sitting in his of
fice in the basement of Smith
Hall amid cameras, old
magazines and reproducing
equipment of every descrip
tion. But why multimedia?
"Every modern artist should
know how to work with
photography. The fine artist
is just now getting to the point
where he doesn't consider
himself above any method. The
final goal is important."
The final "goal" of the Dome
Project is an understanding
by the viewer of different con-

cepts by changing his perspec
tive of everyday objects.
"The concept of the dome
is unrelated to the standard
conception of movie display,"
Evans said. "A person's vision
is surrounded by art and he
feels an unusual gravity
stimulus because he is viewing
up, not straight ahead."
Another way the viewers
perspective will be changed
is by super-enlarged images
and collages. Evans has taken
slides with the dot process
used in newspaper pictures.
These slides he enlarges until
the original image is no longer
recognizable.
Of the new image Evans
may take only a portion to
project onto the dome. Multip
ly by nine and you get an
idea of the total concept.
Evans showed a slide greatly
enlarged and then further
enlarged a section of that one.
"See?" he asked.. "It takes
on a whole new meaning of
its own."
He took two unrelated pic
tures and juxtaposed them on
a table. "When these are
brought together they show the
viewer a relationship." He took
a picture of African tribesmen
and above it placed a photo
of armed white men. "Sea?"
For Evans there is never
any time alone down in his
cfiice. A flow of helpers and
well-wishers runs through his
office bearing contributions,
suggestions and curiosity
One student. John Gunn, is
contributing his knowledge of
computers. He is programming
a tape for Evans that will
run the projectors during one
part of the show. Evans con
siders even the sound of the
tape machine running to be
part of the artistic ex
perience. As a matter of fact, sound
will play a very important
part of the Dome Project.
Evans works on slides to
recording of old radio shows.
Bending over a slide, he will
suddenly stop and listen. Over
ip a corer a record-player
drones, "Alright, men. here
if-are here are the enemy's
ships taa taa!" and music
that usually marks the arrival
of Superman fills the room.
But the sound will not be
all camp. Dr. Roger Hannay
of the Music Department has
agreed to compose a work for
the Project and Evans plans
to use music of all types.
Evans showed one segment
from his Project on a screen
in his effice last week. Only
one projector was used.
Flash. A nude. Flash, flash.
Red girl, green girl. Flash.
An airplane. Then, in a series
of flashes, a sunbather drifted
from one side of the screen
to the other. Finally a bright
image flashed briefly leaving
an after-image in its place.

Mind-bending? No.
Mind-blowing. Wow.

THE SECRET WAR OF
HARRY FRIGG. With Paul
Newman, Sylva Koscine.
Directed by Jack Smight. A
Unniversal Release. At the
Carolina.
Paul Newman comes off best
when he isn't trying so hard.
He is funniest when he
tackles comedy with his tongue
in his cheek and doesn't dive
right into it.
As Cool Hand Luke, his
formula worked. He drew
laughs out of every grimace,
every devilish smile, every
raising of the eybrow. The
comedy, as well as pathos,
came from inside the
character.
In The Secret War of Harry
Frigg, Newman plays for
laughs.
The result is an in
termittently funny World War
II comedy a subject which
requires more than occasional
humor because of its overex
posure on TV's weekly
"Hogan's Heroes."
Frigg begins so promisingly.
For the first half hour,
characters are introduced in
quick action, witty dialogue
and humorous charac
terization. Harry, like his predecessor
Luke, can't seem to stay in
the brig. He has been in and
out on charges like "insulting
an officer's parentage."
But he always escapes.
So when five brigadier
generals are held captive in
an Italian villa, and when they
don't seem to be making any
escape progress, the Army
sends Frigg in to give away
a few of his trade secrets.
For the next hour-and-a-half ,
Frigg makes time with the
Ca
ipus Calendar
COSMOPOLITAN CLUB will

Dinner and Entertainment,

countess who owns the villa,
stalls escape so he can stay
with her, and gets captured
by the Germans, to whom Italy
has now surrendered.
Somewhere along the way,
the movie slips into mediocri-
ty.
Oh, the witty lines still come.
But the pace seems to slacken
to the point that you feel like
something's gotta happen
because the next show starts
in 20 minutes.
For Newman is only
partially effective as Frigg.
He doesn't seem to know ex
actly how he wants to play
him.
He injects a little
"simpleton" into the
character, and it fails. Just
as Marlon Brando stepped out
of his realm and created a
military moron in Bedtime
Story, Newman doesn't come
over as Harry.
Supporting characters are
more carefully cast and more
successfully drawn. Tom
Bosley stands out as General
' Pennypacker, a modest man
who is held captive in the
villa.
i Sylva Koscina makes a love
ly countess, " and her ' recent
exposure in Playboy doesn't
seem to have hurt her career
offers. And, as always in war
comedies, the Italians and
Germans are very funny.
The movie is diverting. But
it's also a little disappointing
with the unoriginal escape at
the end.
You feel like Hogan's Heroes
could have done better. Cer
tainly Cool Hand Luke

The UNC Concert Band, led
by Major John Yesulaitis, will
present its spring concert
tonight at 8:00 in Hill Hall,
sponsored by the Tuesday
Evening Series.
After a successful tour
through North Carolina and
a season of concerts, dedica
tions and other area musical
activities, the Band is coming
home.
Comprising 85 in
strumentalists, the band is
drawn from all departments
of the University. In fact, 90
per cent of the membership
are non-music majors. Drawn
together by interest and talent,
the group performs the finest
and most difficult literature
in band repertoire with the
highest standards of artistic
excellence.
Tonight they will present
highlights from the tour, in
cluding "Elsa's Procession to
the Cathedral," by Richard
Wagner; "Symphonic Suite,"
by Clifton Williams; and the
popular "Castle Gap" Concert
March by Clifton Williams.
Also featured will be
"Praeludium" arid "Allegro,"
by Giannini; and "The French
Quarter," by Morrissey.
The Concert Band begins
rehearsals immediately after
football season and continues
through the spring with its
last performance at the Uni
versity Commencement.
This spring concert is the
main point of performance in
terest .on campus.
Much of the success during
the lastfour years as been
due to Major John Yesulaitis.
The "Major" came to UNC
from the Air Force where he
wa Associate Director f the
Air Force Band and Sym phony.
The Air Force radio program
which he directed for over
12 years. Serenade in Blue,
is presently carried by more
than 2500 stations in the United
States.
His students, friends and
fellow bandsmen find him to
be a man of rare character
and to have a personal touch
possessed by few.

He took that first step and he took the
step first, when he went alone into New
Hampshire.
But he was not entirely alone. Three
thousand student volunteers, an actor
and a poet were with him.
Together they went into the countryside
to talk to the people. The students
talked; the people listened. And then
in New England they cast the votes
that were heard around the world.
As students we made it happen. We al
tered America's course. In Wisconsin,
ten thousand of us came to work. A new
politics of participation was born. An
unchangeable mind was changed.
But our task is incomplete, our journey
unfinished. Thousands of volunteers are
needed during the coming weeks to do
the telephoning and "canvassing, talk
ing and walking, that must be done to
win again in Indiana on May 7, and in
Nebraska, Oregon and California after
that
It is hard work. Sometimes it is tedious
and exhausting. But it is the work that
must be done to insure our future and
that of America.
If your help, your commitment, was im
portant before, it is vital now.
We have promises to keep, and miles to
go before we sleep.
