The Da iy Tar Heel cploring dialects n til u A d' m 9 t -js fr t f t .4 n c j ii II J fj 1 M M M Monday, April 8, 1374 by Ch-rcn Crown Feature Writer Shore wud be nahs if thar wuz more lam in lak thet in Dr. Brandes' Speech 192 c'.ess. Social Dialects. It makes sense to learn something by doing it. So instead of merely reading about Appalachian dialect and culture. Dr. Brandes has his students create workshops. The workshops cover dialects from Southern to black to big city to Yiddish. One learns how different cultures talk, how they feel, and what they do well. w nere ana novv they live is examined. How other people laugh and have a good time is important. At the Southern workshop, for instance, studies of dialect, customs and culture . were followed by spreading a bale of hay on the floor and settling down for a fried chicken dinner. . , "It just shows you that you're no better than anyone else, and neither is your culture." one student admitted. Dr. Brandes greet everyone at the door for the Appalachian workshop in plaid -flannel shirt and jeans. "It's a powerful plezure t'havee. Miss Brown," he said. "The rest of you uns who ain't visters, move down to the frunt, lessn you's a sinner." A speech panel of students originally from the mountains of North Carolina and Nelson Parker, who did social work in the West Virginia coal mines, explained some of the social ramifications of their dialect. Of course, they had been made fun of. They had repeated themselves countless times. Keith Clark, who now speaks with even less of a Southern drawl than many eastern and piedmont North Carolinians, wants to completely rid himself of any mountain dialect. Most of the mountain students had, to a great degree. "But aren't you proud of your culture and heritage?" questioned a concerned student. "Don't you want to keep it so that you can communicate with those people?" Mary Ann Sloan of Franklin, N.C. hadn't lost as much of her mountain accent. She quickly retorted, "It's no fun to repeat yourself one million times, or to be embarrassed by someone laughing at you, or to be afraid to speak in class." "1 never thought 1 had an accent until 1 came to Carolina." explained Jack Wheeler. "Then I never knew what mountain people meant when they said, 'stinks lak kyarn' either. He discovered they meant 'carion or rotting meat. But their speech is just the vehicle for communicating their culture. Their way of living is distinctive too. The students on the Appalachian committee had covered every angle. Decatur Jones was on their program. He picked some might fine bluegrass on the banjo. The rest of the workshop was split up into various rooms displaying Appalachian skills. We were shown how to churn butter and how to tat (making a kind of lace by hand). Quilting and rug-braiding were demonstrated. Films on the subject were collected and shown by the students. "Carolina students are ingenious, and must have their opportunity," Dr. Brandes said. The students are on the honor system and may take their tests anywhere they wish. Dr. Brandes said he never worried about cheating. "Carolina kids are serious about their honor system," he stated. "If some do cheat, I'm just not going to worry about it." Most of the students are serious about the whole class. "This is one of the most interesting classes I've had at this university," commented one student, "because he's one of the most interesting persons I've ever met. The class is crazy. It's a great experience." Susan Cartwright added, "Dr. Brandes is the only professor I've had who does what the education professors say teachers should do." We stood around munching on corn meal squares spread with home-made butter and .honey Jugs and jugs of appld 'cider wets? consumed.'

The bald man holds his harmonica quietly as his bearded friend tunes a battered guitar on another chair. Then, suddenly, at some imperceptible signal, ail Hell breaks loose, as the crowd is caught in the music of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Titans of the Blues. Good blues is a strange fusion of sadness and joy. Its origin is in pain and betrayal, but blues have a way pulling all the ache out and letting it drift away, leaving room for the natural joy. And when these two men perform, the room is filled with their natural joy. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, who the New York Times call "the greatest living exponents of black folk blues," will perform at 8 p.m. Thursday in Memorial Hall. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee are among the few surviving links to a real folk past. They've played blues together for almost 37 years, in bars and on street corners, record albums and broadway plays, churches, grange halls, picnics and concert halls. They've played with Woody Guthrie, Lcadbelly, Pete Seeger, Blind Boy Fuller and never lost a sense of California congressman to by Barbara Holtzman Asst. Feature Editor Congressman Ronald V. Dellums, D Calif., will speak at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, in Memorial Hall. ' ' - Admission is free. Dellums is now in his second term as representative from California's Seventh District (the Berkeley-Oakland area). Described as "a man of the new politics," Dellums was helped to victory in his campaign by a coalition of blacks, other racial and ethnic minorities, students and women. Espousing coalition politics, he suggests that each group," moved by its own self interests, can develop a perception and strategy for dealing with basic human problems. Dellums includes the silent majority as a potential group iri the coalition although he describes the groiip as duped, manipulated and programmed. Labelled-a "radical extremist" by Spiro Agnew and others, Dellums said, "If being an advocate of peace, justice and humanity towards all human beings is radical, and if it is radical to oppose the use of 70 of federal monies for war and destruction, then I am a radical."

"The blues is happiness and sadness," Brownie says, "high and low. If s instinct it's truth. I've been left out, lost, left behind, crossed-out, crossed-up, double crossed, mixed-up. false-accused, but I'm here to tell it myself. You can't imagine the blues.' Suddenly the sound of a mouth harp, pure and clear, fills the auditorium, swelling and falling from the cupped hands of blind Sonny Terry. The sound becomes the faraway whistle of a lonesome train, then the baying of hounds in deep woods or a cry of some lost soul. Now Sonny speaks, for the first time, "Mockin' the train's about the first piece I learned ... I used to hear the freight train comin' by, I used to be settin' down sometimes, by myself, real still and I'd say I wish I could play that." Brownie, a fine guitarist, complements him well. His style is smooth and relaxed, as he bends his famous old guitar, a battered veteran of thousands of concerts, to the eternal blues lament of whiskey, women, and payin your dues. Brownie begins to coax the delicate chords, and distinctions melt away as you're caught in the spell of every man or woman who ever made music to ease his mind or move his soul. cooperation with the BSM Black Arts Festival.

The group began in 1969 as a group of undergraduates from Columbia University and Brooklyn College, playing some rock and folk for college functions and girls' schools. They tried some sounds from the '50s for fun, got good responses, hired a manager and hit the big-time, as in Woodstock and the Fillmores.
