Psychedelic Furs
fire Duke crowd
with dark energy
By D.F. WILSON
Staff Writer
Though their name sounds as if it comes from the late '60s
the days of moronic monickers the Psychedelic Furs are any
thing but a stale sounding band reminiscent of a past decade. In
stead, the Furs, one of Britain's more popular new exports, is a
band that dares to be ugly, and in doing so brings forth its real
beauty.
Although the uninitiated listener may find lead singer Richard
Butler's gruff vocals disturbing and the band's sound too repe
titious, it was obvious that the near-capacity crowd at Duke's
Page Auditorium Thursday night thought differently. .
In a pre-concert press conference, guitarist John Ashton agreed
with a remark Butler had made earlier about the band's sound
and their progression.
"Yeah, I think we're getting more melodic of course it
comes from working with more melodic instruments on stage,"
Ashton said. "We've Ann (Sheridan) playing cello with us now,
you know."
After a surprisingly and disappointingly bland opening set by
Durham's X-Teens, the Furs took the stage like thunder, opening
with "Into You Like a Train." From that point on, the crowd re
mained on its feet.
It was clearly Richard Butler's show. From the moment he
walked on, the stage was his. Wearing a wrinkled trench-coat, he
appeared to be a looming figure of darkness with his tousled hair
and sunken eyes. He pranced about the stage, striking poses with
theatrical hand gestures for emphasis. His doomsday growl only
added to the effect.
The Furs' set was almost a list of fans favorites, with the
band's more popular songs ("Pretty in Pink," "Run and Run"
and "Lovely Way," to name a few) grouped in the center of the
show. This mini-set culminated with the highlight of the night,
"Sister Europe," on which the band pulled out all the stops, only
to jerk them out again two songs later for "Sleep Comes Down."
Then, with hardly time to take a breath, they leapt into
"Danger," a hectic tune that featured saxophonist Gary Window
of NRBQ and the Wholewheat Horns.
Minutes later, bassist Tim Butler, who had appeared almost

Enthusiasm, energy trademark of show
By LUCY HOOD
Gty Editor -
Salvatorc Aiello, associate director of the North Carolina Dance
Theater, said the ballet troupe had been on the road for four years with
very few breaks. But any fatigue that results from living out of a suitcase
and setting up house in hotel rooms was completely concealed in the
Dance Theater's vivacious and energetic performance Friday night in
Memorial Hall.
"Napoli Act III," the opening number, succeeded in presenting the im
age of a boisterous 19th-century Italian celebration in which family and
dose friends gather to sing, drink and dance, sometimes showing off for
each other as the rest look on with admiration..
The energy, the enthusiasm and the mood of the piece definitely were
effective, but a slip of the foot and a few failures to synchronize the timing
reflected either a lack of rehearsal or a failure to conceal the opening jitters
that are always present when adjusting to a new audience and a new stage.
Only during this piece did any doubt about the technical ability of the
dancers flicker through the mind.
And all of those flickers vanished in the second piece, "Women." Con
trasting with "Napoli Act III," a character style ballet, "Women" is a
' modern piece. Five women dressed in varying types of underclothes
danced to a song by Grace Slick. Slick sang about the liberation of the
Spanish women who traditionally have been constrained to the home,
their children, and the whims of their husbands. The dancers executed a
strong performance using contractions followed by a release into a leap,
an extension, a turn or a run - all symbolizing first the heavy weight of
social pressure and then the surge of courage to seek freedom, a word that
was emphasized strongly in the lyrics.
Toward the end, the dancers took down their hair The contractions
and more constraining movements were replaced by more free-flowing
movements. Finally, as Slick preached, they sought a self-guided path
through life. .
Following "Women," the show continuediwith another modern dance
number. "ReHim," and the theme of the jhow moved from somewhat
philosophical to comic.
Fourteen of the company's 17 members were dressed in jump suits
some in red, some in yellow, some in blue. All the colors of the spectrum
were represented and all movements from every genre of dance were per
formed. ;'. .
At one point the cast watched as Dayna Fox carried her male partner
around the stage. At another point, all the dancers were falling to the
ground. Some fell straight and caught themselves with their hands as if the
next moves were to be a sequence of push-ups. Instead, they stood up as
the dancers of another group slowly twisted themselves to the ground.
Finally, one lone dancer, who had been easing herself to the ground the
entire time, just flopped.
The dance continued, sometimes with music and sometimes without.
Sometimes the dancers performed such ridiculous and uncharacteristic
moves that the audience couldn't help but laugh. Other times, they
moved, flopped, turned and twisted in a vacuum where nothing gelled.
Only during long intervals of such movement did "Resettings" become
boring. !
The tide of the last piece, "A Night in the Tropics," alludes to a tribal
like jungle scene, but the show had more of a Spanish setting. The men
were dressed in red tights and white .shirts with puffed sleeves and wide
collars. The women wore red dresses slit to the thigh with neck- and arm
pieces made of black lace.
Thus, the Spanish bullfighters and their ladies performed what was
essentially a classical ballet piece. The piece opened with five couples danc
ing in unison. Four of the five couples drifted away and left the stage for
Dayna Fox and Edward Campbell to perform a Tango. Here began the
variation on the classical. The dancers performed a pits de i filled with
carlike movements followed by sharp, striking movements. Afterward,
another couple performed another pas de deux, the Guaracha.' However,
the style of the second was more typical of a tango than the first The
second included a lot of fast, difficult lifts, turns and jumps all of
which were executed beautifully. Then the ensemble gathered for a spec
tacular finale. , '

comatose all evening, finally came alive for an energetic rendition
of "Mr. Jones.",
After closing with "Forever Now," the Furs encored with
"Imitation of Christ" and "India," a-song that faded away in an
echo as the band left the stage. Looking about, the crowd realized
that the house lights were already up and the stage was darkened.
The tension and enthusiasm still hung heavily in the air. Clearly
the Furs could have played all night. No one would have com- '
plained. -

president, he still
finds time to relax.
"I used to not do

referring to his ac

work. But, he said,
"you should try to
stay healthy and
vigorous to keep the
cobwebs out of your

and installing automatic door openers in
some buildings.
The University does not intend to become
completely accessible. However, all buildings
now under construction will be totally ac
cessible. :
The University not only has enabled stu
dents to overcome architectural barriers. It
has changed policy barriers as well.
University-recognized organizations are re
quired to hold meetings in accessible loca
tions if requestedThe UNC-CH Student Ex
tracurricular Organization Application for
University Recognition 1982-83 requires that
all organizations give a statement of policy
and practice with regard to "openness to full
membership and participation without regard
to race, religion, national origin, handicap or
sex."
The UNC Traffic Office is also doing
;? something to make thejUniver sity corjimunH
accessible to the disabled. There is a $25. fine ;
"'for parking in a handicapped "spacer tve ;'
give a ticket if a car without a handicapped
sticker or tag is parked in a handicapped
space; but if a handicapped person needs the
space, we will tow the car that is in that
space," Ben Callahan, assistant director of
security and traffic, said.
Students who use wheelchairs are not the
only ones who need handicapped parking
spaces. The 40 to 45 mobility impaired
students, who have severe cardiac problems,
respiratory problems, arthritis, and neuro
muscular diseases, need the handicapped
parking spaces, too. These health problems
prevent them from walking very far without
resting. -
UNC's goal is for accessibility to all pro
grams, not necessarily-to all buildings. In
light of all the changes that have taken place
on campus since 1973, ' Rutherford said,
"despite all the . things we have not done,
there's a hell of a lot we have done."

There are many reasons why a person would
decide, to attend UNC. Some students choose
UNC because it is relatively inexpensive com
pared to other institutions of comparable
academic reputations.
Len Wilson, a junior English major from
Raleigh, said he decided on UNC because of
the variety of courses offered and the Uni
versity's cosmopolitan atmosphere.
"My father and mother went here. My
uncles went here," said Nancy Brewer, a
senior history major from Durham.
Another student, Norma Mangum, a senior
psychology major from Creedmoor, said,
"UNC is the place to get a well-rounded edu
cation. Even when I was younger, I always
wanted to go here."
Wilson, Brewer and Mangum have one
common reason for choosing to attend UNC.
It offers something they need accessibility.
These three students are disabled and must
rely on a wheelchair for transportation to and
from classes and anywhere else they go.
Improvements made on the UNC campus in
the past few years have enabled disabled stu
dents to experience a more "normal" college
life. Although all campus buildings are not ac
cessible, all campus programs are.
. If a disabled student registers for a class that
is to meet in an inaccessible building, he can be
moved to another section. If there is not
another section, then the class is moved to an
accessible building.
Dormitories that are accessible to wheelchair
students are Grimes, Ruffin and Craige. Mor
rison, Ehringhaus and Hinton James dormi
tories are accessible to the disabled visitor but
do not have facilities for disabled residents.
The new University cooking policy has
created another inconvenience for disabled
students. Since the kitchens are on the second
and third floors in Ruffin and Grimes, dis
abled students cannot use them.
Brewer lives in Ruffin but she said she
would like to see more dormitories become ac
cessible, so people in wheelchairs would have a
choice.
"I'd like to see a traditionally female dorm
become accessible," Brewer said. She also said
she would like to have access to a parlor situ
ation like the one at Alderman. The only place
to talk with friends is in the room or the TV
lounge.
Disabled students are individuals with in
dividual needs. Like other students, they have
their own ideas about what changes they
would like to see on campus.
"I'd -like to see more electric doors,"
Mangum said. Doors in the older buildings are
especially difficult for Mangum to open. She
said she sometimes has to wait outside for
someone to come along and open it for her.
Brewer said she would like to see a passenger
elevator in Phillips Hall. Disabled students
now use a freight elevator which they cannot
operate alone.
Another thing Brewer said she would like to
see is the return of the ramp in the basement of
the Union so she would be able to go through
the Union instead of around it. "Now I have
to go through construction and get mud on my
hands, chair and in my room," Brewer said.
Other barriers which are perhaps more dif
ficult to eradicate are the myths that other peo
ple believe about the disabled. People some
times make assumptions that are not based on
facts.
"Some people believe that just because my
body is not 'normal' that means that my in
telligence is way below normal," Brewer said.
Laura Thomas, handicapped coordinator
for the department of student life, said, "Peo
ple believe that a disabled person cannot be
communicated with directly." (
Recalling a frequent dream of his, Wilson
said, "Sometimes I wish all a.b..'s (able bodies)
could have some type of handicap for about
two weeks. Then maybe they'd understand."
