2The Daily Tar HeelAuesday, January 1 4, 1 992 m Clef Hangers embark on a 'Safari' of sonncl A cappella group to break into compact discs in March with their sixth album By John Broadfoot Stiff Writer Hear the sounds of these Tar Heel voices as they echo from CD players everywhere The UNC Clef Hangers will be sing ing a happy tune when their new album is released in March. Ash Curtis, a member of the all-male a cappella group, said the new album contains favorites of recent years. "It's mostly pop music, and a lot of the repertoire we sang this semester and last," he said. The album, the sixth the group has produced, is titled "Safari" and was solely financed through concerts, book ings and sales of previous albums, he said. "Safari" will be available on com pact disc and cassette. It contains rendi tions of "Africa,""Wonderful Tonight" and "Somebody." The album will cost about $9 on cassette and $14 on compact disc, he said. The group will advertise the album using various media, Curtis said. "We'll take it with us on the Spring Break tour," he said. "We'll sell it on campus and in the Alumni Association catalogue basically, any way we can." Jon Owen, president of the Clef Hang ers, said the group would publicize the album personally at the University. "We're going around singing in dorms and passing out order forms," he said. Zack Nelson, a member of the Clef Hangers, said all song arrangements were done either by Clef Hangers or specifically for the group. The album required a lot of hard work and money, he said. "Each song took at least two hours to record and at least an hour to mix," he said. "It cost between $250 and $300 per song." Curtis said the album took several months to produce. "We recorded at TGS Studios," he said. "The first recording was in April and the mixing continued through May and was finished in November." The group has been sponsored by the Alumni Association for the past three years, although the Alumni Association did not finance this album, he said. Rob Taylor, business manager of the Clef Hangers, said the group was one of the few a cappella groups that have their work produced on a compact disc. "We're very proud and excited that it's our first pop album on compact disc," Taylor said. "There aren'tmany acappella groups on CD." Clay Robinson, a new member of the group, said the recording process was a new experience for him. "It was a great experience," he said. "Everybody who's listened to the demo was really excited." BCC entices youth to Saturday school lCamPusCalcndaf a TUESDAY I ByJonWhisenant Staff Writer In Chicago during the late 1960s, Sonja Haynes Stone, a young adminis trator at Northeastern Illinois Univer sity, started a program that brought com munity children onto her campus in an attempt to spark their interest in aca demics and in African-American cul ture. Twenty years later, a pair of her stu dents are doing the same thing on the UNC campus. Through the "Communiversity" pro gram, 8- to 12-year-old children who live in Chapel Hill-Carrboro public housing are invited to spend their Satur days on the University campus to get a taste of college life while exploring their cultural heritage. Denise Matthewson, a sophomore from Winston-Salem, and Michelle Thomas, a senior from Carrboro, are the co-directors of the Saturday-school Communiversity program. The 10-week program, sponsored by the Sonja H. Stone Black Cultural Cen ter and the Sigma Gamma Rho Soror ity, will run from Jan. 1 8 until April 1 1 . 73 c o 3 C5 D O a - W c 1 I T3 C a 4 O O C L c D Oh X D O C5 CD C L a o 4 a 4 a G O W3 t-H D C5 c5 C5 in in wgmsm w A crp LbyA1 iJIjljJ i iillMUNilJlMin?

Chapel Hill 932-9400 Raleigh 772-7909 Stone, an Afro- and African-American studies professor, taught Matthewson and Thomas at the Univer sity. Stone died in August after suffering a stroke. BCC Director Margo Crawford said more than 25 UNC students have been selected to lead the children through the Communiversity curriculum. Classes will include history, litera ture, creative writing, drama and arts and crafts. Matthewson said Communiversity programs would be held in the Student Union and the South Campus student union. Organizers hope the programs will affect the children more than just aca demically, she said. "We want the children to get accus tomed to learning in a fun environment and accustomed to campus life," she said. "Also, we would like to cultivate their interest in their own heritage." Thomas added that Communiversity's impact on the chil dren would go beyond the Saturday classes. "One of the purposes of the program is to provide positive activities to deter the youth from counterproductive ac tivities," she said. Crawford said the program would also include parental involvement, as parents are invited to attend and assist the Saturday sessions. Response to the program has been favorable so far , she said. More than 40 children already have signed up. Josephine Harris, director of instruc tional programs of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, has worked along with Matthewson and Thomas to organize the program. Harris said she expected the program to be a success. "I am very pleased and excited about what the University has done," she said. "I think the focus on the 8- to 12-year-olds is a good idea, since it will catch students before they enter middle school." Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun said he thought the program was a "wonder ful idea." The P5YCHOLOGY OF Christian Experience announces the opening of its practice at 105 N.

Although students cannot major spe cifically in Chinese or Japanese be cause of a lack of staff, the linguistics department offers degrees in East Asian studies. Other than teaching the basic languages, East Asian studies classes are cross-listed in many departments including anthropology, art, history, religious studies and journalism.

And according to a Modern Lan guage Association survey, language enrollment has grown. as a whole. on college campuses in the United States from 1986 to 1990 foreign language enrollment increased a total of 18 per cent. While the popularity of Chinese rose 15.4 percent, Japanese increased by 94.9 percent, the largest rise in any language. Russian and Spanish also grew, but fewer students enrolled in French, Greek and Hebrew. Although the initial numbers are large, Seaton, Inoue and Martz all noted a high drop-out rate after the first se mester. The grammar and structure of the languages are relatively easy to learn, but the reading and writing of charac ters require intensive study, they said. Unlike Spanish or French, which re quire three to four semesters of gram mar before taking a literature class, stu dents must go through eight semesters of Chinese or Japanese before studying literature. Seaton said, "Because of the nature of the Chinese writing system, many people who speak the language are illit erate." Maria Randall, a freshman Interna tional studies major from Hendersonville, took Chinese 1 last se mester, but decided not to go on to the second level. "I did enjoy it, and the program was good," Randall said. "But it requires a lot of time to learn all the characters." Randall, who is now taking Spanish, said she plans to continue studying Chinese in the future, when she has more time. But even with the time commitment, if things keep going like they did for Bush last week in Japan, you might want to preregister for Japanese I. ' .
