"Irish comes close to American,
but it is more involved harmoni
cally," he said. "Swing is the most
involved of the three. It bridges the
gap between Texas fiddle style and
jazz style."
Buckner, who has done some lead
vocals in the past with the Red Clay
Ramblers, will also be singing some
songs at the Extravaganza.
Buckner, along with the rest of the
Red Clay Ramblers, spent last winter
on Broadway providing some orig
inal songs, as well as some traditional
ones, for Sam Shepard's "A Lie of
the Mind."
According to Buckner, the differ
ence between playing the fiddle and
playing the violin is stylistic.
"Violin has a pre-existing struc
ture, while, with fiddle, you have to
teach yourself," he said.
Mercz, an engineer for WUNC
Radio, has been playing guitar in the
area for 10 years with Buckner and
a variety of groups.
Pilgrim, who could not be reached
for comment, was described by
Mercz as one of the best jazz style
swing fiddlers in the area. "He is
proficient at a variety of styles,"
Mercz said.
In the past, Pilgrim played with
Touchstone, an area group that
played traditional Irish songs.
Link was described by Buckner as
one of the best jazz bass players in
the area. He has been playing with
the other performers for several
years.
The show is sure to draw a large
audience, according to Mercz. "Tra
ditional American and Irish music
have been quite popular in Chapel
Hill for the last six or seven years,
but the recent publicity of the
Ramblers may have given it a stab
in the arm," he said.

Did y'all know this-here Uni
versitee has a class that'll shew
ya how to tawlk in diff'rent
dialects?
Kim Alton, a graduate student
teaching Speech 31 (Voice and
Diction) this semester, says it's
not as hard as some people think
to change their accent.
"Once you learn to forget about
meaning and listen to sound, you
can at least become aware of how
you talk," Alton said. "We do
drills that compare different
sounds of vowels, and we say the
same sentence in different ways
Cockney, British, Southern,
and others," she said.
About a third of the students
in the class want to lose their
Southern accents entirely, or be
able to converse without an
accent in certain situations by the
end of the semester, Alton said.
Mary Duke, a senior from
Goldsboro, said she thinks most
people in the class are trying to
get rid of their dialects, although
that is not why she is taking the
class.
"I'm a . . . (radio, television
and motion pictures) major, and
I wanted to improve my speech
and diction," Duke said. "I want
to be able to present myself in
a business situation or an inter
view without sounding nervous,
and to come across intelligently."
Athough Speech 3 1 students
learn to speak in "standard
American dialect," Alton said the
purpose of the class is not to
eliminate different accents
entirely.
"When someone tells you to
change the way you speak, they're
really telling you to change
something about yourself," she
said. "We always emphasize the

fact that no dialect is wrong, just
different."
Martha N. Hardy, chairwo
man of the speech department,
said the course allows students to
recognize more about how they
speak.
She said the focus of the course
was not to erase students' accents,
but that "you can, as a result of
your knowledge, change how you
speak if your accent is so muddy
that you can't be understood."
"We don't take 30 people in
there and drill them on how to
say pin, pen and pan," Hardy
said. "But you can find out what

diction instructor, demonstrates the
you're doing and change it," she
said.
But, unfortunately, people who
speak with Southern drawls are
often considered less intelligent
on first impression, Hardy said.
"It- is particularly difficult if
you're a woman, when you have
the stereotypical image of the
dumb Southern woman who
couldn't possibly understand
figures," she said. In that case,
losing an accent could be helpful
to a career, she said.
Howard D. Doll, associate
professor of the speech depart
ment, agreed. Certain accents do

When the clocks struck midnight
Sunday and the streets of Chapel Hill
were wild with activity, other uni
versity communities were quiet.
"I think everyone went to Chapel
Hill," said Whit Andrews, a sopho
more at Duke University . "Anyone
who wanted to get rough and rowdy
went to UNC."
The Duke campus was quiet
except for the campus bar, Andrews
said.
MWe didn't have any ruckus," he
said. "The Hideaway Bar was packed
to the gills but, after midnight,
anyone who was 19 or 20 left. Chapel
Hill has a reputation for a party city,
as opposed to a party campus."
"We don't have a strip of bars.
Actually, the bars we do have are
pretty bad. We have keg parties on
campus, but I guess that will change
with the new alcohol policy,"
Andrews said.
At N.C. State University, police
reported no unusual violence or
problems with the students, accord
ing to Robyn Lee, a lieutenant in
patrol operations for N.C. State
campus police.
"There was a crowd for a while
on Hillsborough Street," Lee said.
"There was nothing on campus."
Lee said the campus police did not
put any extra officers on duty. The

Auction can provide cheap transpor

riding the bus in from Carrboro
every morning. The auction, at 7
p.m. tonight in The Great Hall, will
be auctioning used bikes, many of
which are in fine running condition,
for as little as $5.
The Campus Chest holds the

charities. Bicycles and furniture

have associations and may be
detrimental in some professions,
he said. "For instance, Southern
accents may be seen as redneck
or (associated with) the Southern
belle who's pretty, but not too
sharp," Doll said.
Doll, who used to teach Speech
31, said some students in his
classes were successful in chang
ing their dialects, but the process
was difficult.
"Any habit of 18 or 20 years
is going to be hard to break," he
said, "but, with work, any habit
is changeable."
main celebration was under Raleigh
police jurisdiction, she added.
Two students from N.C. State and
two students from Appalachian
State University in Boone were
arrested in Chapel Hill, according to
Associated Press reports.
One N.C. State student, William
Beerman, was arrested on Hillsbo
rough Street in Chapel Hill, accord
ing to John Austin, editor of the N.C.
State student newspaper.
"(Beerman) took a beer and went
up to a policeman and opened it,"
Austin said. "He said something like,
'I'm under 21 and I want to be
arrested. This is a form of protest.' "
Lee said she thought many people
went to party in Chapel Hill because
it had been well-publicized as the
place to party.
"Everybody heard about it and
just went to Chapel Hill," Lee said.
"I heard that everybody was going
to take over Franklin Street."
Raleigh police estimated the
crowd on Hillsborough Street at 500,
according to Don Proffer, a police
sergeant for the city.
"We're kind of used to (crowds),"
Proffer said. "After football games
we have 4,000 or 5,000 people on
the streets."
Proffer said the police department
had about six police officers out

number of beat officers.

The 30 to 40 bicycles to be sold
were left behind at dorm bike racks
and collected by the department over
the summer. The auction will also
put some abandoned furniture and
unsold books on the auction block,
Anderson said.
Alpha Phi Omega is a social and

the Campus Chest is an independent

APO's Bike Auction raised over
$2,500 last year. The Campus Chest
raised a total of $6,600 last year that
was donated to charities, he said.

between the engine room and the
boiler room, and practically speak
ing, it ripped the ship open," Nedyak
said.
"From the moment of the blow
until the moment of the sinking of
the ship, it was not possible to launch
into water any of the rescue boats,"
he said.
Nedyak said it was too soon to
assign blame. He said there was no
fog at the time of the collision.
He said about 50 vessels were
continuing search and rescue oper
ations, along with helicopters and
other aircraft.
There were no casualties among
the crew of the freighter, which was
laden with grain, Nedyak said.
The 888 cruise ship passengers
were all Soviet tourists, mostly from
the Ukraine and the Baltic republics,
Nedyak said. About 270 of the 346
crew members were among the
survivors, he added. , ,
