The trip "will give the students a
chance to study their geography first
hand," Dr. Robinson said. "Instead of
reading about plateaus in a textbook,
the group can hold class on top of a
plateau. Instead of seeing pictures of a
glacier, the class can throw snowballs at
es;h other made from glacier ice."
Dr. Robinson said the major aim of
the program is to personalize geography
for the individual. "By studying such
things as pollution first hand, we hope
to create a greater awareness for our
physical environment in each stud net."
The trip will not be all hard work and
studying, however. Besides 10 free days,
the group will ride a Swiss mountain
railway, take a cruise on the Rhine, visit
the Black Forest and tour a winery.
The trip will cost $1,220. This fee
v includes f tuition and fees, ground
transportation through Europe by
motor coach, hotel accomodations,
continental breakfast on all days and
lunch and dinner on all but free days.
The cost does not include transatlantic
travel.
The deadline for enrolling in the
program is Feb. 27, 1976. Anyone
interested in studying geography in
Europe should contact Dr. Peter
Robinson in the geography department
at 933-8901.

Winter Folk Festival to be held Jan. 22-24
Activities include workshops, contests, films and concerts
by Vernon Mays
Staff Writer
To help break the mid-winter slump at
UNC, the Carolina Union is sponsoring a
full-scale Winter Folk Festival from January
22-24 on campus. ! .
The three-day festival will provide an
opportunity for musicians and music-lovers
alike to enjoy concerts, workshops, films and
jam sessions by some of the nation's top
performers in the folk field.
Represented will be music styles ranging
from British country, urban blues and
French-American "cajun" music to the rural
stringband music representative of North
Carolina.
An informal workshop-concert involving
many of the artists will begin the major
festivities on Thursday night, followed by
smaller workshops, contests and films
during the day on Friday and Saturday. The

highlight of the weekend will be major
concerts on Friday night and Saturday
night.
Mike Seeger, reknowned performer in the
New Lost City Ramblers string band, will
emcee the two main concerts in addition to
giving individual performances during the
weekend.
A mini-fiddlers convention on Saturday
afternoon will be one of the festival's special
events. A $25-first prize will be awarded to
the best fiddler, banjo picker, singer and
dancer at the convention. Homemade pies
will go to those who drive the farthest to
attend the festival, wear the funniest hat or
have the most patches on their clothes.
Cecelia Conway, a graduate folklore
student in the English department, inspired
by the Winter Folk Festival and has been the
major organizer of the event.
Conway and folklore student Jan
Schochet presented their ideas for a folk
festival to the Union's Performing Arts
Committee, which accepted it with
;nthusiasm. The Union is providing the
financial backing and publicity for the
festival in conjunction with the imagination
and expertise of Conway, regional
consultant to the National Folk Festival
Association.
Conway is almost more excited about the
people who will be in the festival than the
festival itself.
She said the music coming to Chapel Hill ,
is "something not common in our culture."
"The musicians we are bringing here are in
touch with their emotions and can be in
touch with their audience's emotions, too,"
Conway said. "They do this well in their
music."
Conway said the performers coming for
the festival represent the best available folk
talent from all over the country. The festival
will include well-known, highly-publicized
performers as well as some of the "real
country folk" who are a little more obscure.
"It's not only their music that is exciting,
but their personalities are very impressive
and they communicate this in their music,"
Conway said.
"People who go to folk festivals have a

good time, even if not familiar with the
music," Conway added.
Conway said a surprising amount of
enthusiasm existed for "old-time folk music"
in the Chapel Hill-Durham area. She
attributed this to the ability of people in the
area to have personal contact with the
mountain people who developed this style of
music.
"Old-time music is what existed before
bluegrass music," Conway said. "It is music
learned from older people and passed down
from generation to generation."
"Often these people have no formal
training and cannot always read music, so it
must be memorized," she said. Such purists
of folk-music will be at the festival next
weekend.
Conway emphasized how these people's
lives affect their music. A prime example of
such people are the Balfa Brothers, who
Conway describes as "the warmest people in
the whole world."
The Balfa Brothers are descended from
the Arcadians, a French-speaking people .
who were driven from Canada in the 18th
century and settled in Louisiana. The
brothers are specialists in Cajun music,
which blends the French and Southern
cultures into a unique style. The Balfas will
perform at both major concerts. ; ;;
Martin, Bogaih and the Armstrongs is a
band of Southern, black string musicians
who since the 1930s have been performing
their blend of Southern hoedown, early '40s
swing, funky blues and Tin Pan Alley. They
recently returned to the U.S. from a tour of
South America displaying American culture
for the State Department.
Also among the performers will be Chapel
Hill's own Red Clay Ramblers, back from
their New York production of Diamond
Studs.
Individual performers include John
Roberts and Tony Barrand, who sing and
play English, Scottish and Irish ballads, Big
Chief Ellis, a barrelhouse blues and boogie
pianist from Alabama; and Dink Roberts,
an 80-year-old black banjo player and
farmer from Haw River, N.C.
Appearances also will be made by the
Green Grass Cloggers from Greenville, N.C.
and Chapel Hill's Apple Chill Cloggers.
Janet Buehler, Performing Arts
Committee chairperson, has worked closely
with Conway in the planning of the festival.
She said the committee is promoting the folk
festival now because "January is a doldrum
period when very little is happening on
campus."
The folk festival is "an opportunity for
people to become familiar with the original,
true folk music of America," Buehler said.

Buehler stressed that "people will have a
chance to be actively involved, and that's
important." Free workshops will be held in
several areas, each workshop having a
certain theme.
Because of the statewide publicity the folk
festival has received, Buehler anticipates
sellout crowds for both concerts.
Tickets are available at the Union desk
and will be $5 for both major concerts or $3
for a single performance. Admission to all
other events is free.
