Music 27 class. Kremer's class has just"
finished gluing the Belly Rails in an 18th
century French harpsichord.
"It will take about a year to complete,"
Kremer said. "Right now we're about one
fifteenth of the way through." " The
harpsichord will be worth $4500 when it is
finished.
The instrument is being pieced together
from a $1400 kit designed by Frank
Hubbard. Kremer called Hubbard the
greatest harpsichord builder alive."

Sting'
by Petsr Hardy
Film Critic
The Sting is pure confection there is not
an inch of depth in the entire story and when
we get to the end of it we realize that we
understand even less about the two main
characters than we thought. Lots of movies
with these qualities come out every year and
most of them are confusing, boring wastes of
time. - '
But The Sting, while perhaps a little
confusing, is not boring and not a waste of
time. In fact, it is one of the most enjoyable
movies to come out this year. Like last
summer's The Last of Sheila it is clever and
humorous enough to do without depth or
characterization.
David Ward's original screenplay has a
big collection of con men getting together for
revenge on an Irish gangster who had one of

Kremer, associate Professor in the
Department of Music, originated the idea.
"The reasons for building the harpsichord
were pragmatic," he said. "We needed a
small harpsichord for .concerts. The
appropriation of the money looked
impossible, so we did it a little deviously and
purchased the kit."
For most of the students this is a new
experience.
"I'm just taking this course for fun," senior
Kathy Lewallen said. She plays the
harpsichord and in the future, hopes to build
one herself.
John Desmond, graduate student and
harpsichordist, feels the course is teaching
exciting con game
their friends killed.- As fledgling grifter
Johnny Hooker (Rober Redford) says "I
don't know enough about killing to kill
him." So he teams up with master con man
Henry Gondorf (Paul Newman) and friends
to set up an improbable, elaborate con game
which I couldn't explain clearly even if I
wanted to ruin it for you. .
During the first viewing, things go by so
fast that it is sometimes hard to keep up with
what's going on, and the second time, I
noticed various weaknesses in the logic of the
script, such as the failure of the gangster to
have Hooker followed, which would have
blown the whole con. But this is easy to
forgive, particularly when so many serious,
acclaimed films make even less sense than
The Sting does.
Director George Roy Hill proves that he is
perfectly adept when working with
professional entertainment material. (You

him more about the instrument. "The more
you know, the better you can play," he said.
"1 think this course is a challenge to the
whole class." Steve Davis, senior
anthropology major, built a small
harpsichord by himself four years ago. "It
took me five months to build it, but this one
is much more complex."
Every step presents a problem. "We
usually measure carefully three or four times
before we cut," Kremer said. "A 64th of an
inch off comes out as a quarter of an inch
mistake." Aligning the frame, fitting joints
together and keeping the angles as near
perfect as possible have been difficult tasks.
But the hardest part, Kremer explained,
and the last thing to be done is the voicing.
never really believe that the characters are
living in the depression 30s, but what the
heck). It's when he tries to become an artist,
as in the abominable Slaughterhouse Five,
that he falls on his face.
Sharp and colorful performances are
given by a supporting cast of character
actors, including Eileen Brennen, Harold
Gould, Ray Walston and Charles Durning.
Robert Shaw keeps his gangster character
from ever being merely a cliched menace,
and Redford and Newman give entertaining
star performances. One casting weakness
Redford is really too old to portray a young
comer-up and Newman is too young for an
aging master. There isn't enough apparent
difference in their ages to justify Newman
calling Redford "kid."
There has been a lot of talk about the
continued "love affair of Redford and
Newman and the frequent depiction of male

Three sets of strings must be delicately
tuned. "1 think the students are beginning to
realize that this doesn't move' as rapidly as
they once had thought," he said.
The 25 graduate and undergraduate
students are exposed to much more than the
insides of a harpsichord. They are required
to study various composers and the
technology of the instrument and the music.
The course does present a problem,
Kremer noted. "After we build all the music
department can use, what will we do with the
extra harpsichords?
"Perhaps we could set up a beer keg on my
front lawn and hold a harpsichord auction,"
he mused.
friendships in movies lately. I won't say any
more on the silly topic than this: The two
leading characters in The Sting aren't as
interesting as Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid, but they're better than Maxie
and Lion in Scarecrow. And isn't it nice to
have a bunch of guys fool the mobsters and
the police and everybody and be so loyal and
fair as well?
Scott Joplin piano rags have been adapted
to make a highly enjoyable musical score and
the costumes and sets are all detailed and
effective. All in all it's a good, big (though
perhaps a little too big) entertainment
package, though hardly deserving of its 10
Oscar nominations.
It's particularly a shame that Redford was
nominated as best actor for this, in which
he's engaging but little else, and not for his
fine work in The Way We Were.
A final note for nostalgia buffs: If you
think Peter Bogdanovich's movies have
good old-fashioned credit sequences, wait
till you see what Hill has done. The opening
credits are on the turning pages of a book,
which Bogdanovich already revived in
What's Up Doc, but Hill goes one better by
having the characters introduced with shots
of them from the film with titles over them
such as "Paul Newman as Henry Gondorf."
He even has the old Universal studios logo in
the beginning, which you may have seen in
the original Frankenstein film. I'll bet Peter's
drooling because he didn't think of that one
first!

Our HP-45 is one of two pre-programmed scientific pocket-sized
computer calculators with this key. That's one reason it's the most pow
erful pre-programmed pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Here
are three of many others:
1. It's pre-programmed to handle 44 arithmetic, trigonometric and
logarithmic functions and data manipulation operations beyond the
basic four ( , -, x, --).
2. It lets you store nine constants in its nine Addressable Memory
Registers, and it gives you a "Last X" Register for error correction or
multiple operations on the same number.
3. It displays up to 10 significant digits in either fixed-decimal or
scientific notation and automatically positions the decimal point through
out its 200-decade range.
Our HP-35 is the other. It handles 22 functions, has one Addressable
Memory Register and also displays up to 10 digits in either fixed-decimal
or scientific notation. It's the second most powerful pre-prcgrammed
pocket-sized scientific computer calculator.
Both of these exceptional instruments are on display now. If you're
looking for unprecedented calculating capacity for your money, by all
means see and test them.

The art of acupuncture derives from an ancient Chinese theory based on the flow
of chi, life energy, through the body. Chi is controlled by yin and yang. the Taoist
concept of universal opposites existing in nature. Disease is the result of an
imbalance in these forces.
The purpose of acupuncture is to restore the balance of this flow of life energy and
thus, rid the body of the disease.
Dr. Frederick Kao, a nationally prominent specialist on acupuncture, will discuss
the theory of acupuncture and present a demonstration at 7 p.m. Wednesday in
Memorial Hall.
Kao, a native of Peking, China, is a professor of physiology at the Downstate
Medical Center, State University of New York, in Brooklyn. He has held positions
previously on the faculty of Yale and Northwestern universities.
Kao has been giving lectures on the Chinese system of medicine and physiology,
which includes acupuncture, for the past 1 2 years. He has visited acupuncturists in
"Asia, Europe and the United States.
His recent studies include the useof acupuncture in deaf-mutism.
Kao is president of the American Society of Chinese Medicine and editor-in-chief
of the American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
He recently returned from a second visit to the People's Republic of China where
he observed Chinese medicine at work.
The Carolina Symposium on East Asia is sponsoring Kao's appearance.
