Encapsulating senior year memorabilia for posterity
By LINDA VAN DEN BERG
Staff Writer
Some students envision them
selves becoming the star point
guard for the Tar Heels; oth
ers dream of becoming student body
president.
Senior Eric Chilton's wish will
come true April 1 1 the dedication
date of the Senior Class Time
Capsule.
Chilton .heard of the idea while in
junior high school but said it never
got off the ground well actually,
under the ground.
"I approached the (senior class)
marshals this fall and asked them
what they thought," Chilton said. "I
had already researched the cost, how
to bury it and what to use to contain
the items."
Impressed with Chilton's home
work, the marshals immediately
agreed to the project.
"It's my understanding that it's
never been done at the University
before," Chilton said. "It's a novel
idea."
"It has been Eric's project totally
from the start," said Senior Class
Vice President Dave Brown. "I'm
proud of the way he and his com
mittee have taken it and run with
it."
The capsule will be placed in an
aluminum barrel-shaped container
encased in concrete. "It took awhile
to find someone who knew what to
use and how to put it underground,"
Chilton said. "Moisture and ground
pressure had to be considered."
The capsule will be dedicated on
Monday, April 1 1 at noon on the
front steps of South Building. Chan
cellor Christopher Fordham, who
has been proclaimed an honorary
member of the Class of 1988, will
speak. The Clef Hangers are
expected to sing.
On April 19 the capsule will be
buried six feet underground along a
sidewalk in the quad between South
Building and Wilson Library. "We ;
had to find a place that didn't inter
fere with water pipes or electrical
and telecommunications wiring,"
Chilton said. "But the UNC Physical
Plant was helpful in finding an
area."
The burial spot will be marked
with a concrete slab emblazoned
with a brass plate that reads, "Time
Capsule Dedicated by Class 1988.
Buried April 19, 1988. To be
Opened Year 2013."
The year 2013 will be the 25th
anniversary of the Class of 1988.
"We're going to dig up and open the
capsule at our 25th reunion and see
what it was that we enjoyed in
1988," Brown said.
And how will the graduates be
able to remember what it was that
they enjoyed while they were seniors
at UNC? "By throwing into the cap
sule whatever it is that epitomizes
their senior year pictures, writing
samples, clothing, just anything,"
, Brown said.
A booth in the Pit will be set up

this entire week to collect these
memorable senior treasures. "Only l
seniors can place things in the cap- ,
sule," Chilton said. "They must
show their I.D. and registration. A ;
card with the senior's name, home-
town, major and comments will be
attached to the item."
Chilton said that any item "withirt 'i
reasonable taste and size" will be
buried in the capsule. "It's on a firsts!
come, first-serve basis. Weil take
items until the capsule is filled," he
added.
One senior told Chilton he would ij
sacrifice the socks he wore when he
won an intramural championship. tt
To help offset the $700 pricetag of;
the project, the committee is asking Tt
businesses and campus organiza- f,
tions to place items in Jhe capsule ;
for $25. "Businesses could put some-;!
thing like their business cards in $j
there, and fraternities and sororities
could contribute their letters or t;
something," Chilton said.
Seniors do not have to pay to A
have their prized posessions buried, -'M
however. "
So, as you seniors begin to clean
your four-year heap of memorabilia
from underneath your beds,
remember there is an alternative to
the trashcan. Who knows, in 2013
the blue cup from He's Not Here
may just spark memories of an
infamous Tuesday night in 1988.

captures true
Irish sound
By MICHAEL SPIRT AS
Staff Writer
Just when you thought you could
safely say that traditional music is
boring, along comes Silly Wizard.
The band, which hails from Edin
burgh, Scotland, can claim broad
support from fans of all tastes. Silly
Wizard, currently on a 39-city tour,
will play in Chapel Hill's Paul Green
Theatre tonight as part of the Dark
Night Concert Series.
The band's manager, Sharon
Davis, likened the band to other Irish
bands such as U2 and The Pogues.
But she said Silly Wizard, which has
been together in its current form since
1976, remains truer to tradition than
its compatriots. Davis said while
fellow Irish bands have been influ
enced by "the Irish sound," Silly
w izaru captures inc iruc eiiioouuneiii
of the sound.
The band, which uses a wide range
of diverse instruments ranging from .
penny whistle, piano accordian,
synthesizer and electric bass, has been-,
described by one critic as "born to-,
groove." Davis noted that the group's
sound is "more emotional than most ,
rock."
"There is a vibrancy in the type of-,
music," Davis claimed, "that makes ,
it rock despite the fact that itV,
traditional." Davis even reported that ,
the band, which commonly combs the.
archives of Scottish libraries for
scraps of traditional songs, has
written songs of its own that are
considered traditional by other Irish--;'
men. One of these songs is "RamblhV
River," which was coined by band-
member Andy Stewart.
"It's smashing to be accepted across
the board," Stewart said. "If people
enjoy our songs that s grand. He also
said he is tiabbergastea at tne size.
of the group's current tour, which is
their biggest ever.
Stewart said the origin of the.
band's name is "a closely guarded
secret." But after intense questioning
he admitted that a former manager
"had hastily named the group to play
at a gig, and the audience loved the
name. ,
Stewart added that the name is
"synonymous with the band rather
than the meaning of the words. It's
weird but it works."
Silly Wizard will perform at 8 p.m.
in Paul Green Theatre. Tickets are
available at the Record Bar on
Franklin Street. For more informa
tion, call 942-2032.
