The Da2y Tcr Hael Thursday, January 15, 1S7S lesmeF recalls to win past by Liz SkKIen ! Staff Writer ! "Aw hesh up, Bearfoot! he yelled. A few well-aimed rocks and the . dog disappeared behind the house. Hands shoved deep into overall pockets. Lieutenant Rigsby recked back on his heels. Nah he said, lse never been in the Army. Lieutenant's what my mama called me, but most people calls me Tenner. ' i Tenner lives exactly 42 mudholes and 2 railroad crossings but of Chapel Hill in a mud and mortar-daubed log cabin. There's no electricity. lts out there on the road," he explained. "Ise jest never hooked on to it. And no running water. Theres. aplenty of water in my well over there. But there is central heating. An ancient wood stove in the middle of Tenner's one room roasts out the drafts. According to Rigsby, the back section of his tworroom house is almost 200 years old. I don't use the back part, he said. "The front here was built by my daddy in nineteen hunnerd n leven, and Ise lived here all my life. Chilean exile to talk Chilean exile Dr. Gustavo Molina, a leading Latin American expert on socialized medicinewill deliver a special public lecture at 4 p.m. today in the School of Public Health auditorium. The controversial doctor was a lifelong friend and advisor to former Chilean president Salvador Allende. "Marxism is here to stay," Molina maintains,: despite periodic pronouncemants of its demise. Anticipating a rise in socialism in the United States, Molina says, "It may happen anywhere. The United States is certainly not immune. "Most of your leaders believe ihere is going to be more extensive social security and compulsory health insurance," he notes, but adds cautiously, "there arjs many variances in systems of public health." Molina was a professor at the University of Chile in Santiago and an official in the Chilean National Health Service before the overthrow of the socialist government. Following the coup, he was arrested because of his affiliation with Allende. After several months of imprisonment and torture, Molina managed to flee to Bogota, Columbia, where he now makes his home. Molina is a consultant in medical studies throughout the world and has been an advisor to the United Nations World Health Organization since 1952. He is visiting the UNC campus through Saturday as the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Cecil G. Sheps. Molina and Sheps are long-time friends and professional associates. At age 74, that has been a long time. Rigsby remembers Chapel Hill prior to plazas, malls and shopping centers. "Didn't start all this buildin' til the 440s and 50s, he said. "Back when 1 was schoolin we didn't have no grocery stores, and we only had one teacher and one school, Piney Grove. But Tenner never went to Piney Grove much. A four-mile trek and his father's crops kept him home most of the time. Now . his own crops corn, sweet potatoes, cabbage and peanuts keep him home most of the year. But in the winter "There's not much a person can do, so I jest cuts wood for the stove," he said. During his spare time, Lieutenant whistles up Bearfoot and they hunt squirrel and rabbit. "I got me a duck one time, Tenner remembered. Theys good to eat." Living in the country with only 11 chickens and a dog must get lonely at times, but Lieutenant doesn't think so. "1 don't feel alone," he said. I know this land and this place, and if the weather's good my friends come visitin' in the daytime." And at night time. Tenner likes to light his lamp, sit by the old stove and just think awhile. At least until the dog starts howling. Then he has to get up and unlatch the door: "Aw hesh up, Bearfoot." mm fflC . -1 Jul . , I 1 or CLEARANCE SALE!!!

We invite you to join us in our extra large Clubhouse, overlooking the largest pool in town. Aside from out modern bar, we offer you a romantic fireplace, a spacious dance floor, a beach and soul jukebox and two color television sets. We serve only Michelob beer and can offer you set ups to compliment that steak, hamburger or hot dog cooked on our charcoal grill, all at reasonable prices. Foxcroft is planning many special events in the near future, including half price beer after home basketball games as well as top notch entertainment. We feel that you will be impressed with our facilities as a place to entertain a date, drink a beer with friends, or simply to meet people. Chapel Hill has certainly needed a place as large and as nice as Foxcroft and we are proud to make our facilities available to you. We look forward to seeing you at one of our "bumpin" parties or maybe just sitting by the fire on a more quiet evening. Our hours are 5:00 p.m. to 1 :00 a.m. Monday thru Saturday and 1 :00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" wrote Clive Barnes, drama critic for the New York 7Tmj after attending the opening performance of Diamond Studs at Chelsea's Westside Theatre Tuesday night. His blessing assures the production of a thriving New York run. -It is unadulterated delight," Barnes said, -which, together with adulterated delight, was the way the West was run." He praised the appropriately named "saloon musical for turning up "trumps with five aces and a full house of jokers." .

"We Eastern slickers get easily fobbed off by country and western music, but the two mam participating groups here, the Southern States Fidelity Choir and the Red Clay Ramblers, are authentic almost to the point of musicology and beyond. "The music is super. Even people, and this writer is among them, who are not devotees or the paper pap and pulverized passion of so much commercialized country and western style music, will probably exult in the musical richness of this funny and sassy score. "The actors are the musicians. They act horrificatly, but they play like f.f" for Gabriel. The acting is so bad that it has to be good. No rank amateurs can be that rank or that amateur. Such badness takes time, experience and trouble. And they are so utterly endearing; you don't get that nice without rehearsal. "Wann himself, as Jesse James, has a way with a guitar, a way with a song, and a way with an audience. And, everyone else. The playbill is a little confusing, to say the least, and I cannot identify a huge man with a red beard and a fine talent (Tommy Thompson.) I can identify Mike Sheehan as a slinky Pinkerton man, the diminutive bombshell, Madelyn Smoak, as Belle Starr, and Bland Simpson as a character charmingly called Porkbarrell. But just go and see it and they will become friends. "This, in a very different way, is the best show of its type since 'Jacques Brel, and it wilj deservedly become a cult. Be among the first of the cultured." OPEW 10:00 VWZ--30 A.W rspes -wmeueues 10M "W.

It is not a cone or piston drive., not an electrostatic, not a ribbon and not an ionic device. In fact, it really doesn't appear in any textbooks on acoustics. This Walsh tweeter, acting as a vertical, pulsating cylinder, is a purely coherent source of sound radiation - directly analogous to the light emitted by a laser beam. It therefore is transient perfect - a feat which no other speaker has achieved. The drive mechanism of the tweeter is a voice coil in a very intense magnetic field. This drive mechanism was selected for its simplicity and inherent reliability, although any drive system could be used inasmuch as the cone is only plucked at the base. Sound velocities much higher than the speed of sound in air are propogated up the metallic cone. Sound is emitted on various parts of the cone corresponding to the temporal and spatial scheme. Thus, each bit of audio information fed into the device is emitted intact at the same instant of time. This is true around the entire device, so that 360 coherent radiation is a reality. Frequency response of the tweeter is virtually unlimited as the mass per unit area is lighter than air to beyound 30 KHz. Additionally, the voice coil inductance is shorted out in the driver at high frequency so that no premature high frequency rolloff occurs. This new WTLT tweeter was developed and manufactured by Infinity under license from Ohm Acoustics, and is a newly engineered extension of the Walsh Patent No. 3424873. f ''ifi" s THE BASS AND LOWER MIDRANGE SECTION: The Infinity Column utilizes two specially designed eight inch woofers. The lower woofer, or "sub-woofer," is located at the bottom of the enclosure and is slot loaded to the floor through the pedestal part of the column.tts moving system has three times the mass of the upper woofer and is its own low pass filter. This lower woofer is the basic mechanism which governs lowest frequency propagation in the room. ' The upper woofer has an extraordinarily light moving system which allows excellent propagation of midrange in the room at listening level. Uniquely, both woofers act together through the active transmission line to yield high efficiency with exceptional dynamics and delineation in the bass. . frequencies. We call this phenomenon the "dual driver staggered resonance transmission line." $244 each 5 years parts & labor THE UPPER MIDRANGE SECTION: Infinity has chosen to implement the upper midrange section of the Infinity Column (2.000 Hz to 8.000 Hz) with the front and rear configuration initalry introduced on the Infinity 1001. Two exceptional tweeters are utilized for this purpose: the front, or transient tweeter, and the rear, or ambient tweeter. The direct radiation with its transient information to add sharpness and clarity to the sound is emanated from the transient tweeter. The ambient tweeter adds the complete dispersion of the mid-high frequency radiation to re-create the true instrumental timbre in space. The two tweeters are then coupled together through a phasing network which best synergises phase at crossover to the wave transmission line tweeter for frequencies about 8 KHz. 426 E.rMain, i Carrhoro 929-4554 t I -;9s Ha
