The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, February 25, 19887 ighlanders By JULIE OLSON Staff Writer . , i Finding a name for one's band isn't always easy. .The name is like the forefront Of the band; its first visible sign. , I . ,"Ve tried flipping through a dictionary to find a name but that didn't work. Then our name just came suddenly to mind, and it was the only one that everyone agreed upon," said lead vocalist Jamie Block of The Highlanders, a Chapel Hill band. "Someone once told us that our name is very appropriate because our music is very hypnotic and so is the name 'The Highlanders.' " The band plays mostly covers, but the members do play a few originals and plan on writing more of their ow n songs. The Highlanders play music by groups familiar to most everyone Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles, U2, the Velvet Underground, Hoo doo Gurus and the Grateful Dead. "Our idea was to get a big set of covers of groups that everyone could relate to," Brock said." "But the particular songs we play are some times the more obscure, the flip sides. And plus, we like to give each song our own original interpretation instead of just playing it as is." The Highlanders have played in Chapel Hill at Theodore's and at the Street Scene Teencenter as well as parties at Granville and at many fraternities. Block met drummer David Wenda last spring, and the two quickly added lead guitarist John Schultz. After auditioning for a bassist, they found, through a friend of theirs on the lacrosse team, fellow player John Szczypinski. All four are University students and have had previous experience playing in bands. Block said the band plays mostly for the love of playing. "We just want to play as much as possible, anywhere and everywhere," he said. "We do it because we love it. You can't go into a band w ith the attitude just to make it big; it has to be fun. When we play a song that wee written in between maybe the Beatles and U2, and the crowd doesn't even miss a stride, it's really a trip, an unbelievable trip." Phoenix plans benefit By MICHAEL SPIRTAS Staff Writer Why would the Phoenix, a student newsweekly, put on a concert? "We needed a fund raiser," said Dave Godschalk, managing editor of the paper. Tonight the Phoenix will hold a benefit concert at Cat's Cradle. The theme of the concert is Carfl !Yoii " Pass the Phoenix' Test?" The lineup " consists of A Number of Things, Enormous Boy, Flat Duo Jets, and UV Prom. Godschalk, a sophomore from Chapel Hill, said he felt that a concert would be an appropriate fund raiser for the Phoenix because "the same type of people who read the paper like the type of bands that will play." The newsweekly will keep all door receipts for the show.

When asked about their style, the band said, "Our style? . . . Well, we range from punk to. oh . . . folk . . . sort of progressive . . . we have a real psychedelic sound . . . blues too . . . lyrically folk but with a hard rock beat . . . musically everything." Well, you get the idea. But it may be a few -weeks before the band begins performing again, because Schultz has unfortunately will open the show.

During the unintended rest, the members will probably work on writing more of their own songs. However, they said they are willing to play what people want to hear. "If people are yelling for a song, well play it whether or not it's one that we've rehearsed," said Block. "Ad-libbing on stage is always a lot of fun, and the crowds seem to enjoy it a lot." In addition to Schultz's broken finger, the band has certainly had its share of troubles. The Highlanders have had to deal with microphones concert at this dubious label fits the band, which has had to endure through several lineup changes due to members traveling as far away as the United Kingdom. The group will probably perform four new songs in their set. Next in the show will be Flat Duo Jets.. The .band's manager, Dick Hodgin, president of M-80 Manage ment, said the Jets are always wanting to help student newspapers because the papers help out bands by review ing and publicizing their albums and concerts. Hodgin said bandleader Dexter Romweber has expressed a great liking for Chapel Hill's colle giate atmosphere, although he will most likely never venture into the joys of higher education for himself.

' Sports Heels' Catullo finds mat a cool place to be By ANDREW PODOLSKY Staff Writer Most athletes on the North Carol ina campus get stuck with the rep utation possessing any of a number of attitudes. They are labeled as either being overly dedicated, extremely hard-working, surprisingly studious, single-minded, arrogant or some other superlative term. These tabs make an athlete out to be someone who leads a life much different than the ordinary Tar Heel. With the thousands of hours of practice, many events and widespread recognition, this is true but only to an extent. Junior wrestler Enzo Catullo is a refreshing change as a prime example of an athlete who underwent a very logical series of changes with a very down-to-earth attitude to achieve the success that he enjoys at UNC both on the mat and in his life. The psychology major heads into next week's ACC tournament, then the nationals, with a firm perspective on what he's all about. Catullo summed up his attitude. "I'm not one of those guys who jumps around and screams before a match," he said. "By that time I've either prepared or I haven't. I still get butterflies before I wrestle. When I stop getting butterflies, HI know it's time to quit." While enjoying his fair share of good times on campus, Catullo carries this easy-to-approach attitude with him everywhere he goes. Enzo has also improved on his grades. After spending his freshman and sophomore summers staying academ ically eligible, he pulled in a 3.2 GPA last fall. "There's a variety of things going on on this campus," he said. "One of the reasons I came here was not to get bogged down into a one track mind. 1 picked psychology (as a major) because my studies tie in with real life, not necessarily because 1 want to pursue it after I leave." Catullo was recruited by five other schools. He narrowed his choice down to UNC and Notre Dame, but many factors drew him south. "My guidence counselor and teachers wanted me to go to N.D. because something like 98 percent of their athletes graduate," he said. "If I'm going to graduate, it's going to be by my own doing and motivation, not because someone jammed stud ying down my throat. "UNC and N.D. are great academic schools," he continued. "But when we kind of had trouble finding a party on a Friday night when I visited Notre Dame, I knew North Carolina was the place." But don't get the wrong idea. Although he may cover the party scene as well as any student, he has concentrated enough on wrestling to reap many honors. Tar Heel coach Bill Lam has gone as far as to call him one of the hardest working wrestlers on the squad. For two years in a row, Catullo has finished second in the conference at the 134 weight class, and he is determined to finally take home the title at next week's tourney. "I'm tired of being the bridesmaid in the ACC," he said. "(Former N.C. State wrestler) David Snvderman is EXPIRES FED 29, 1900 1988 YACKETY YACK regularly: $22 for returning students (shipping): $25 for non-returning or graduates Name ' Send check or money order to: 1988Yacketyyack Box 50, Carolina Union Chapel Hill, NC 27514 - ST Tk$ 1 '' 4i hi Enzo Catullo gone now after taking first the past two years, and I'm ready to make a run at it." In his three seasons here, the junior grappler has amassed a 74-29-4 record, including this season's mark of 29-4-1. Catullo was ranked as high as fifth in the nation this year, and after dropping down a bit his goal in nationals is to finish in the top four. Catullo hasn't missed many oppor tunities to avenge past losses such as those in the ACC tournament. In fact, Catullo lost only one of his 91 matches at Summit (N.J.) High School, and only one thing stops him from avenging that single loss to eventual state-champion Dennis Gray. "I think he's pumping gas somewhere now," he said. "1 really wanted to beat him someday, maybe in college, but he never made it." After such a stellar high school career, the adjustment to college wasn't easy. Catullo wrestled at 148 pounds all through high school, and after being introduced to the less-than-fun concept of cutting weight, he worked down to a slim, solid 134 pounds. "1 became more of a go-er and got into conditioning because I wasn't used to the competition," he said. "I was really intimidated because eve ryone I faced my first year was a state champion or a national contender. "I train more now, and I'm prob ably in much better condition than most of the guys I wrestle1; I have to rely on work because most other wrestlers have better technique." Enzo is as cool about the future as he is about all else. "I'd like to wrestle with Al (former Tar Heel wrestler Al Palacio) this summer with the New York Athletic Club," he said. "What I really want to do eventually, though, is work with my father contracting houses. He's always been there for us (his family). I'm just amazed at how long four years seemed when I got here and how quick it's gone. I'm really happy in Chapel Hill for now, though." With two tournaments left this season, and an entire new season next year, Catullo should have many opportunities to experience some more. njft American Heart Association EXPIRES FED 29, 1900 f $S ft?
