Instead of taking the same old walk to Fetzer or Woollen, take a drive to Quail Roost Farm in Rougemont. The 600-acre farm, about 45 minutes from Chapel Hill, is the perfect setting for the beginner, intermediate or advanced rider to learn the art of English horseback riding. Imagine a clear, crisp day when the sun lights up the sky like a light bulb in a dark room, and a breeze dancing around the earth soothes the senses after a long day of classes. What could be better than getting one hour of credit to relax and enjoy yourself? Riding instructor Linda Lieske Wild System members, Ahlschwede said. Kathleen Benzaquin, associate dean of students and adviser to Student Government, said the system I lit I x if I , - vv vv xA I! NVv " !

"To learn horseback riding, (the environment) has to be relaxed and enjoyable," she said. "When it gets tense, especially for beginning riders, the instruction falls apart." Cathy Stone, a sophomore busi ness major who is taking the class this semester, said that Lieske did not treat her students like beginning riders. "She treats you like you know what you are doing, and therefore you have more confi dence," Stone said. . Lieske said she believed in the "hands-on" approach to learning. There are no required books, and the first lesson in a beginning class includes tacking and mounting the horse. "When I signed up for the course, I expected the first half of the semes Seeds performs at Cat's Cradle tonight is designed to increase the circulation of information on campus by joining the academic and extracurricular activities.

"I like Lin da's philosophy the only way to learn riding is to get on a horse and ride." After 23 years of teaching her art, Lieske said she felt that horseback riding not only teaches a skill but also offers inner rewards. "I think people get a lot of satis faction out of riding because it gives them a sense of pride and accom plishment," Lieske said. "1 have seen very shy, unaggressive people change through the course of a semester." Susannah Turner, a sophomore business major from Greensboro, said that learning new things about riding made her feel good about her self. "My favorite thing about the class is the horses," she said. "I like it when I go into the barn, say a horse's name and it responds to me." Lieske said she liked riding from page 1 The computer system will also reduce the duplication of information in different publications, she said. Benzaquin said the computerized information system is an innovative project, but the key to its future growth and success depends on whether other departments enter information into the system.

While riding, you give the horse your full attention, and after wards you are ready to tackle other things, she said. "Last semester dur ing final exams, I was surprised at the number of students who wanted to continue riding to relieve the stress of studying." For those who might be thinking that they are too old to get on a horse for the first time, Lieske points out that it is never too late to begin riding horses. No matter what age you are when you learn to ride, there is an opportunity to learn enough to own your own horse or to use the knowledge in pursuit of a career, she said. "Whether students are riding for pleasure or toward a possible career, my goal is to give the best instruc tion throughout the semester," Lieske said. "I would recommend the class to someone who has never ridden Wild Seeds' latest album lacks a hard-edged sound The leader of the Wild Seeds, Michael Hall, describes his band's music as pop. Nothing more. Nothing less. Hall and the rest of the Wild Seeds display this pop sound on their new album, Mud, Lies & Shame. The Wild Seeds will perform its brand of pop tonight at Cat's Cradle as part of its southeastern tour of the United States. Local guys The Veldt will open. Mud, Lies & Shame is the second album for this Austin, Texas, band. The band's debut record, Brave, Clean & Reverent, was hailed by critics and enjoyed impressive airplay on college and alternative radio. Will Mud, Lies & Shame do the same? It's certainly very radio friendly. The new album could get airplay on some album-oriented radio stations as well as college ones. No single instrument dominates the music in this basic guitar, bass and drums line-up. Joey Shuffield omedy Local actors spotlighted in ArtsCenter shows This weekend the Actors Co-op presented three one-act comedies at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro. The plays, "Ludlow Fair," "Auto-Erotic Misadventure" and "The Partition," highlighted local talent. Each comedy was interesting, and the style in which each was performed was equally intriguing. "Auto-Erotic Misadventure" was well-acted and seemed to capture the audience. Here, however, the acco lades end. The acting in "Ludlow Fair" and "The Partition" was rather ho-hum and thus these plays were rather flat and unfulfilhng. The first play of the evening was by each actress, and the conversation Lanford Wilson's "Ludlow Fair," the between the two is also quite funny, story of roommates Rachel (Nancy Rindfleisch's acting carried the play, Wolfe) and Agnes (Kate Rindfleisch). and if Wolfe had matched her per It was dedicated to everyone who has formance, the play could have been ever been young and had a room- really good. This, however, was not mate. Rachel has just turned in her the case. Wolfe's performance seemed boyfriend for stealing money from forced and very unnatural; she never her and is wondering if she did the really made her character come to life, right thing. She thinks that she is The next play, "Auto-Erotic Mis going crazy so she plays word asso- adventure" by F.J. Hartland, was the ciation with herself by pulling words best play of the evening. This story from the dictionary. She then pours of three extremely different people mLs (3X1 before because Linda is so good with beginners," Turner said. Almost half of Lieske's 120 stu dents this semester are from UNC, she said. Classes range in size from around two to six students, but Lieske said she paid close attention to the individual rider's needs. The group is not limited to walking, trot ting or cantering as a class, and stu dents are allowed to progress at their own pace. Horseback riding is one of the hardest sports to master because there are two elements, the person and the animal, and both have dif ferent views of what is happening, Lieske said. Most athletes only have to worry about their own perfor mances, but in riding one must worry about the performance of the horse as well, she said. "Through teaching, I get the satis faction of putting a horse and a rider together and seeing them per form," Lieske said. "At the end of James Burrus Album plays simple drum patterns, Paul Swift thumps a loud supporting bass and Bo Solomon contributes, but does not stand out, on guitar. The center of the Seeds is the lyrics and singing of Hall, who writes most of the band's songs. He wrote or co wrote 10 of the 11 songs on Mud, Lies & Shame. The person lost in all of this is background vocalist Kris McKay. Her performing time is quite limited on the LP. She sings back-up on only a few of the album's cuts. McKay does get one song all to her lonesome. She does a wonderful job with the opportunity given her on "All this Time," a song written by Hall and Scott Cowen Theatre nail polish in the dictionary and shuts it and tries to interpret the inkspot. The audience then meets Agnes, who always seems to have a cold. She says that she was doomed from birth because of the name Agnes. She is in poor spirits, and rather harsh towards Rachel, for whom she has little sympathy. The play has amusing monologues who lived together was told through a series of flashbacks. The characters are Cliff (J. Wayne Leonard), a mothery homosexual, Norma (Paula Culver), an overweight secretary, and Brandon (Keith Miller), a bisexual "call boy." One night after Brandon comes home from turning a trick and Norma comes home after being disappointed again at a singles bar, the two comfort each other and a The College Magazine That Look for the spring issue this week at your campus.

Horseback riding is one of the physical education classes that involves some extra expenses. The cost per semester, for two sessions a week, is $325. Lieske said she did not expect the cost to increase next semester. "The cost averages out to be $12 a lesson and students save about $100 by signing up through UNC," Lieske said. The only other additional cost is for protective headwear, which is required by law. A student can expect to pay between $40 and $50 for a riding hat. For students interested in taking a horseback riding class but are not able to fit the listed times into their schedules, Lieske suggested that they contact the Quail Roost Farm because other class times are available. Paul Cullum. Her tremendous sing ing ability should not have been wasted with low-profile back-up performances. McKay should have played a more major role in this record by singing more with Hall. It would only have helped. Mud, Lies & Shame is a good record, but it is nowhere near great. It lacks a cut-loose rocking sound. The only song that really has a hard edged sound to it is "Jack's Walking With the King." One gets the sense that Hall and the other Seeds want to let it all go on this record, but are held back for some reason. Maybe the Wild Seeds will have no reason to be restrained when the band brings its live show to the Cradle. Let's hope the Wild Seeds live up to the name. The Wild Seeds will perform tonight at 10 p.m. at Cat's Cradle. Call 967-9053 for more information. relationship develops. The acting in this play was solid. The characters all came to life, and the audience really enjoyed this well performed and interesting story. The evening concluded with "The Partition," a futuristic play by UNC law student Terry Cawley. The play is set in an office in which the employees' only job seems to be spying on each other. Caldwell (Solomon Gibson) is the new employee who is desperately trying to get the key to his locked desk and a phone. He is kept off balance by McConnell (Elizabeth Shoenmaker) and her cold manner and her incon gruous telephone conversations with Mr. Niles. Throughout the play it seems that McConnell and Caldwell are trying to entrap each other. The play, a combination of a Big Brother society and nightmare bureaucracy, has an surprise flip-flop ending. The acting was disappointing, although Shoemaker was excellent at making the audience become frus trated with her disposition. The play, however, failed to build any suspense which was intended to be a vital part of the play. The effect was to leave the audience waiting for some thing they'd never get. "Ludlow Fair," "Auto-Erotic Mis adventure" and "The Partition" will be performed by Actors Co-op again next weekend at the ArtsCenter.
