4The Daily Tar HeelFriday. October 1. 1982 s Spontaine now with 'Graphics 2 By D.F. WILSON Spfdal lo the DTI1 You wouldn't expect to find the PTL Club horns on many pop records, but that's exactly what you'll find on Treva Spontaine's new Moonlight Records release, S'il Vous Plait. There are a few other surprising aspects of this seven-song album by the Greens boro native who attended UNC in the early 70s, majoring in education. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise is a re-mix of "Hands Off My Heart," which originally appeared on a compilation album put together by D.I.Y., a Hollywood-based publication. With an energetic pop hook, the song written especially for Spontaine by Raleigh native Ed Horst has been get ting quite a bit of airplay in this region. Produced by Arrogance bassist, Don Dixon, S'il Vous Plait is a collage of songs recorded over the past few years, prior to the formation of Spontaine's band, the Grafics. "We recorded some of these songs as early as 1978 and 1979," Dixon said. "There are a lot of tracks with various members of Arrogance. Ed Horst plays piano for 'Hands Off My Heart,' and I think Mitch Easter is playing guitar on one song." . Since S'il Vous Plait's completion, though, Spontaine formed her band with a few Tate Street (Greensboro's equiva lent to Franklin Street with a little Green wich Village thrown in) musicians willing to take a risk on a solo female doing acoustic Elvis Costello. The first incarnation of the Grafics sur faced in 1980. Now, besides Spontaine, ' the band consists of drummer Garry Col lins, bassist Dwight Mabe and guitarist Brad Newell. The band's history has looked continually brighter since 1980. The group is garnering better and better jobs along the East Coast. Dixon says he has already recorded five .. songs for the group's album and is pleas ed with the way things are going. As for S'il Vous Plait, other notable cuts are "Hob Nob in the City," a col laboration between Spontaine and Dixon, and the title cut, penned by Chris Stamey of the dB's. Dixon re-discovered the song on an old demo he had recorded from Stamey years before. "We had a good time choosing the material for this album," Dixon said. "Limiting it to seven cuts makes it real cohesive. It's an album that flows." Dixon and Spontaine have unashamed ly gone for the pure-pop feel and have pulled it off without sounding like, a strictly commercial venture. Besides the original tunes, which are the best, Spontaine also offers respectable covers of Lennon and McCartney's "It's Only Love," and Sandy Shaw's 1966 hit, "Girl Don't Come." She also does a sur prisingly fresh rendition of the 1962 Carol KingGerry Goffin composition, uI'm Into Something Good." The only tune that seems out of place is Bland Simpson's "Long Day's Journey Into Night." Though Spontaine provides a pleasant interpretation, the difference between it and the rest of the material is just striking enough to set it off a bit too much. Spontaine and the Grafics will be play ing at the Cat's Cradle on Rosemary Street at 9:30 tonight and their set will in clude several songs from S'il Vous Plait. 6 Tintypes id play SLL Mem rial By KAREN ROSEN SUff Writer, A tintype is an old-timey photograph printed on strip metal, a memento from the days before Kodak paper. Tintypes, the first offering in the Broadway on Tour series, brings faded images back into the viewfinder against a backdrop of turn-of-the century pop music. Some of the 50 or so songs are familiar, from "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" to "America the Beautiful." And who hasn't heard "Ta-Ra:Ra Boom-De-Ay," quite the scandalous piece in 1891? Other songs may not ring a bell, but they mirror the period when even a cowboy could become presk dent. Teddy Roosevelt himself appears in Tintypes, as does anarchist Emma Goldman and the Ziegfeld Follies beauty, Anna Held, who had a 13-room suite filled with 1,000 roses. The other two guides through the era are stereo types who are just discovering America as the land of hope and advancement. A Russian immigrant and a young black woman illustrate, sometimes in mime, what it was like to be poor when Andrew Carnegie was raking in $44,000 a day and children were paid 25 cents a day to help make Coca-Cola a con glomerate. Tintypes opened in Washington, D.C., in the sum mer of 1979 and moved off-Broadway the next spring. The combination of nostalgia and history lesson carved its niche on Broadway later in 1980, earning rave reviews while showcasing songs that had already made their bow on the New York stage. The trends of the period are especially evident in the choice of songs. John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" teams with George M. Cohan's "You're a Grand Old Flag' and "The Yankee Doo dle Boy" to highlight the patriotic surge the country was experiencing in 1900. Scott Joplin's ragtime is . the best example of the music that only jazz could dethrone. And "I Want What I Want When I Want It" could be Teddy Roosevelt's theme song as he prepares to. dig the Parian Canal with his' toy sand -shovel. ' V. , j' x ' . This production features Patrice Munsel, a star of numerous musicals, who broke box office records as "The Merry Widow" in Lincoln Center. A headliner in Las Vegas, she once hosted her own weekly tele vision show. At 17, Munsel was the youngest singer to debut at the Metropolitan Opera, so she brings a variety of singing styles to her portrayal of Anna Held.

"Naturally, since you're one of the selected few, it's better to downplay it." Professors who know he's a Morehead scholar treat him as any other stu dent. . "The professors or teachers don't know," said Sylvia Sutton, a junior from Louisburg. "The people in the class don't know. Usually, people find out after getting to know me." If the first thing anyone finds out about her is that she's a Morehead, she Teels like they label her. . "It's funny," said Robbie Bach. "If you spend any amount of time'with someone, they find out." "I get kidded about it'. . . if I say something dumb, people give me a funny look. It's like, you said that and you're a Morehead scholar?" 1 - .Bach and Pritchett both emphasized that Morehead scholars are a very diverse group. At the Morehead banquets, the entertainment is always provided by the scholars; some of -them play instruments, others are in drama. They're a group with many talents. There are currently 1,500 Morehead alumni, and most of them have graduated recently. The very first class of Morehead's are in their early 50s now. Mebane Pritchett says the scholarship is so young that its real impact on society will be seen in the future. But a quick flip through the Morehead alumni catalog shows that the graduates are making their mark on society today. Some are running for political offices; many are doctors and lawyers. There are Moreheads involved in Greek temple reconstruction projects, jazz bands and Broadway plays, as well as being professorsresearchers, company presidents and chairmen of the board. 1 For Pritchett, the scholarship's greatest in dication of succes is the interest it has generated among other colleges who are look ing into setting up their own version of the program. "There have been more and more contacts made over the last three years," he said. "Peo ple want to do something like it. There are about a dozen first-class institutions interested in setting up something like it." Among those colleges are Davidson, the University of Virginia, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech. Looking back on all the . distinguished students who have graduated as Moreheads, and looking into the future at the interest it in spires among America's top high school students, Mebane Pritchett sums it up this way: "The Morehead scholarships are part of the reason why UNC-Chapel Hill is the great insti tution it is today."

" Graham emphasized that there was hope for tomorrow. "God offers you tomorrow, but if you have a tomorrow there has to be a change today, a commitment in the Lord," he said. "You can't change yourself. You've got to have God's help to change." "It's a change, and it's costly, but the rewards are overwhelming." Graham's concluding lecture Friday night -will focus on "Reason to Live." The speech will begin at & p.m. in Carmichael Auditorium. South Africa tual return is low, but in the long run you can get a greater return for your investment," Knight said. ' Berger said the University could also invest in alternative energy sources or small business loans. . In 1978 the University of Wisconsin divested about $10 million from companies which had interests in South Africa. And in a student newsletter, Nancy Elliot, director of trusts and investments at Michigan State University, said the school made more money after divestment. Norvell Miller of the UNC trust office said - the Michigan case was unusual. "You've got to look at the market," he said. . "They (Michigan) were doing poorly then. There was no room to go down, things had to go up." Compared to many other universities, UNC has little money to invest in corporations, he said. Recently Harvard divested some of its holdings in South Africa. "They (Harvard) were involved with a direct loan to South Africa," Miller said. "I can see where you can draw the line on a loan to South Africa. But the University isn't large enough to engage in specific (investment) actions.". The University does not control how its money is specifically invested, Miller said. The endowment board gives the money to various money managers who combine it with other in vestor's funds in a pool. "Our financial consultant has spent time ex ploring other investments. On the whole, it costs a lot of money to divest," Miller said. "Because we are investing in a group, anything , we invest differently costs us." Berger said divestment is a moral question as well as financial. "The money belongs to the people. They should have a say in how it is invested," he said. . "We feel that divesture will bring enough publicity to make the corporations fear for their public image," Berger said. "Then there will be enough pressure for cor porations to pull out of South Africa." B-B Muse Lid grim HvAic--.y'o.'Ty. -.-. -ivutkau' . Kelp Proven! ClrUi Dof Dcfo ".KumbarGno
