Gilbert, Freeman on
senior class ticket
By JUSTIN McGUIRE
Staff Writer
Durral Gilbert, a junior economics
major from Burlington, and James
Freeman, a junior political science
major from Mt. Airy, have
announced their candidacy for
senior class president and vice
president.
The two are running in hopes of
involving seniors, in shaping their
own senior year, Gilbert said.
"Senior class officers should exist for
the class," he said. If elected, he and
Freeman will have a "complete open
door" to the class.
"We want the class to know that
they are the ones who will be making
the decisions." Gilbert said. "The
officers will reflect the class as a
whole." He said all seniors will have
a voice in the decisions-making
process.
"It's easy to feel like a number
here." he said. "That's why we feel

it's so important to make the officers
available to the class."
Gilbert said they would work for
maximum involvement of seniors in
campus life. "A lot of people in our
class live off-campus and therefore
don't feel as involved in the Univer
sity," he said. "Your senior year
should be a special year. We want
to try to provide more activities for
the class."
Activities that they would make
available include class committees,
trips to away football games and a
senior class trip, he said.
Freeman said he felt one of the
most important jobs of the senior
class officers was preparing gradua
tion ceremonies. He said they would
also try to provide career workshops
for seniors. "Your senior year is

when you're looking for a job, so
this would be very helpful to
seniors," he said. Members of the
class would be very involved in the
running of these workshops, he said.
Gilbert said the class could get
involved early by voting in the Feb.
3 elections. Students' votes will help
ensure students the kind of senior
year they want by allowing them to
choose their own leaders. Since voter
turnout is usually low, he said, his
class could show leadership by
getting out and voting.
Great Hall bash twice the fun at a nicer price
Freebies are nice especially
when they feature two good Chapel
Hill bands like Satellite Boyfriend
and Other Bright Colors. The two
bands welcomed students back to
school Friday night with their
creative pop sounds in the Student
Union's Great Hall.
Satellite Boyfriend opened the
show with its usual strong perfor
mance. Slim singer and gangling
guitarist Phil Collins (not of Genesis
fame), generates the band's pop
sound. Satellite Boyfriend is a fun
band to watch onstage.
Other Bright Colors headlined the
concert. O.B.C., not to be confused
with B.O.C. (Blue Oyster Cult),
seemed to impress the majority of
its audience. Guitarist James
Funsten produced some nice sounds
on his instrument, though the vocals
of Brian Butler were hard to under
stand. But most of the 300 spectators
were understanding, and they
danced in front of the stage or

lounged on the Great Hall floor as
if they were at Springfest.
This band just released its debut
album, "Endlessly Rocks the Cra
dle," which was recorded at Overdub
Lane in Carrboro and mixed by the
almighty Don Dixon. Chapel Hill is
certain to hear more from Other
Bright Colors this semester.
More concerts ought to be held
in the Great Hall. The Student Union
Activities Board did a good job this
time, and the Toronto Exchange
Club did equally well with the one
it sponsored last semester. Last
November the club sponsored a
concert featuring five area bands to
raise funds for its annual trip to
Canada. The concert was a success
ful fund raiser for the group, and
it may become an annual event.
Since residence hall mixers have
nearly disappeared, Great Hall
concerts would provide lively enter
tainment for the underaged while
allowing legal drinkers to exercise
their privilege. Also, underground
bands on campus and in Chapel Hill
would have a place to play and test
their stuff. More Great Hall concerts
would be worthwhile, even if they
weren't freebies.

No one was quite sure that
would happen. It did.
Genesis will appear for a third
concert at the Dean E. Smith Center
Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the
second show (Feb. 22) sold out
Saturday in two-and-a-half hours,
according to Smith Center official
Deana Nail. The only tickets left for
the third show as of Sunday after
noon were for seats behind the stage
not bad for a place where there
isn't supposed to be a bad seat.
The Smith Center Ticket Office
opened this morning at 8:30. Area
Ticketron locations will also begin
selling again today. All seats are
reserved at $17.50 apiece.
"Everything went a lot smoother
this time," said Nail, referring to
problems that arose with the Dec.
2 distribution of tickets to the Jan.
31 show.
For the Saturday distributions of
second and third show tickets, Smith
Center officals would not allow
anyone to camp out for more than
one night. A ticket limit of eight per
person replaced the 30-ticket max
imum allowed on Dec. 2.
"With that reduced number of
tickets per person," Nail said, "the
lines went much faster."
By mid-afternoon Saturday, the
Ticketron toll-free number (1-800-233-4050)
was still busy, but the lines
at the Smith Center were very short.
On Sunday, the Ticketron phone
lines were relatively clear, and
operators reported "a bunch" of
tickets available.
Rumors that the third show sold
i out on Saturday were because of
computer error in the Ticketron
office in New Jersey, said Gus Gusler
of Pro Motions, the Raleigh-based
promotions company that is spon
soring the three Genesis concerts.
Area radio stations had
announced the third show was sold
out at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Steve
Miller at WRDU, 106 FM, said that
seats beside and behind the stage are
the last to be distributed.
"The computer for some reason
didn't release those seats," Miller
said. "It looked as if it were sold out."

All settled back into your
dorm room, huh? Well,
that's what thought. Then
I heard about the Drymount
Sale at The Print Shop.
Drymounting is the quick,
inexpensive way The Print
Shop mounts posters and
prints onto styrofoam so
they're ready for hanging.
Anyway, at The Print Shop,
all drymounting is 15 off
