Chuck D.,
By Charles Marshall
Senior Writer
"Just sit back and loosen your collars
'cause we're just gonna kick it," publi
cist Harry Allen and rap artist Chuck D.
told an enthusiastic crowd Wednesday
night in Duke University's Page Audi
torium. Sporting new Duke sweatshirts to
the delight of Duke students Chuck
claimed he didn't have another
sweatshirt the two spoke separately
.about "Racism and Music" and how
both blacks and whites could do every
.thing in their power to eliminate racism
.as quickly as possible.
. "Everything I say tonight might be
.and probably is wrong," was the dis
claimer through which Allen began his
speech. Nevertheless, the audience lis
tened to every word.
Allen, who has been studying hip
hop since 1 963 and who writes for pub
lications such as The Village Voice,
defined his role as "hip-hop activist and
media assassin" as one who attempted
to reveal truth that produced justice and

ter would provide job information "so
(seniors) don't show up in September
and find out they have to have their
resumes in on Sept. 5," Gallagher said.
The candidates want to work with
University Career Planning and Place-
;'ment Services to make seniors more
aware of placement opportunities.
, "(UCPPS) has all this information,
' but their problem is getting the informa
tion out to seniors," Gallagher said.
Rieger said she and Gallagher also
. planned to appoint lobbyists to act as
liaisons to the General Assembly.
Similar lobbyists also would work
with University groups such as the Board
of Governors and Student Congress,
Gallagher said.
! . "Out of the sen ior marshals we would
. make a (public affairs) committee, and
their sole purpose would be to keep
abreast of ... Student Congress and the
. Board of Governors," he said.
Gallagher and Rieger want to help
'-seniors headed for graduate school by
sponsoring more graduate school en-
. trance-test seminars.
.. "Senior year is a really fun time, and
, 'we want to make it a fun time for people,
but it's also the waking up into the real
world," Gallagher said.

up on its endorsement of Bounds and

candidates.
Matthew Eisley, Stephanie Johnston
and Peter Wallsten, the three ballot can

not know if they would appeal if Bounds'

Charles Streeter, the only ballot candi

Bracey added that he was confident
that any appeals would be heard by
election day. "I'm sure it can," he said.
"I know the Elections Board is flexible."

Harry Allen 'kick back' to discuss racism, musid
correctness.
After commenting about some of his
experiences with the white, liberal Vil
lage Voice power structure, Allen spoke
directly to the audience, giving first
blacks and then whites suggestions about
how to help eliminate racism.
"Understand racism, or everything
else you try and do will only confuse
you," he told non-whites in the audi
ence. Allen said he believed that the chief
weapon of a racist was deceit and that
the chief tools of deceit were words.
Allen told both blacks and whites
who wanted to eliminate racism never
tocall anyone a name they wouldn't call
themselves, and in perhaps his most
controversial statement he told blacks
they should "never under any circum
stances, as long as white supremacy
exists, engage in sexual intercourse with
a white person."
He told whites who also wanted to
eliminate racism to follow the same
rule. Sexcontinuestoperpetuateapower

Mitchell said they also would work
for increased office hours for the ad
viser. "We want to have seniors work
ing with the graduate school adviser."
The team added that it planned to
form an advisory task force, consisting
of students, professors and University
Career Planning and Placement Ser
vices staff members, to address issues
facing seniors.
Paty said he and Mitchell wanted to
focus on finding jobs for majors not
usually recruited on campus by forming
a list of contacts at businesses in the
Carol inas.
The candidates want to include more
seniors in class activities and to create
new activities. They plan to continue
traditions of senior nights out, senior
week and senior football blocks, and
they also want to start new activities
such as senior Olympics, a senior trip
and senior basketball blocks.
The pair said it hoped to foster better
awareness of class events through se
nior newsletters and Daily Tar Heel
advertisements. They also would ap
point a senior marshal to act as a liaison
to the DTH.

"We think that our gift should go in
the direction of helping the entire Uni
versity instead of some type of showy
'hey, we were here' mark on campus,"
Philson said.
Philson and Pedigo also want to de
sign more diverse senior activities.
"It seems that the senior class activi
ties ... have been something for one
particular aspect of the senior class ...
instead of something that all groups can
feel comfortable doing," Philson said.
The pair plans to keep in close touch
with seniors.
Pedigo said: "I think a lot of people
tend to look at this role as distancing
themselves away from the senior class
. . . instead of working on the same level."

Pender said he wanted to continue the
tradition of diverse senior marshals.
"I think (marshals) have done an ex
cellent job as far as representing the
different organizations and the different
aspects of diversity around campus," he
said. "We want to continue that tradi
tion." Pender said he and his running mate
also planned to expand the senior news
letter and publish it every three weeks.
The candidates hope to use the call ing
network to gauge senior opinion about
the class gift, but they have a prel iminary
plan to use the gift toestablish an endow

ences. Pender said the pair had not adopted a
campaign slogan.
"We didn't want a slogan because
that's not what we are about," he said.

Cabaret or Broadway? Students;
bring bright lights to Chapel Hill
By Beth Formy-Duval
Staff Writer
In the second annual "Broadway
Melodies," University studentscollabo
rate to perform and produce a range of
selections from various Broadway mu
sicals. The musical review, sponsored by
Carolina Union Stage Alternatives and
UNC Pauper Players, will play at 8 p.m.
today and Saturday in the Union Caba
ret. Each set of music features different
directors, casts and themes.
"Broadway Melodies" opened last
night in the Cabaret to an enthusiastic
audience and proved to be a worthy
event for Friday or Saturday night date.
Music lovers will not want to miss
the event. Fans have two more opportu
nities to enjoy the spectacle of New
York's most popular musicals.
The show features four 25-minute
sets that include favorite musicals such

majority of his time, however, stressing
the importance of the media and com
munications systems in conveying and
educating the public about black issues
and the black perspective.
Chuck said that since media and com
munications werecontrolled by the gov
ernment, the black perspective never
was brought to the public. Most people
have to rely on arts, entertainment and
sports to gain a sense of the black per
spective. Chuck even called for a major
network forthe black perspective, much
like ABC, NBC or CBS.
Chuck also commented about Public
Enemy's most recent and controversial
video, "By the Time I Get to Arizona,"
and his appearances on ABC's
"Nightline" to discuss accusations that
the video encouraged violence.
Chuck is still outspoken and ada
mant about Arizona recognizing the
King holiday.
"It's the least they can do," he said,
adding that "after they get a holiday,
that's the next time I'll ever think about
stepping foot in Arizona."
Chuck's passion for the possibilities
as "City of Angels," "Cats," "Into the
Woods" and "Phantom of the Opera."
The first array of songs is taken from
"Into the Woods," a Steven Sondheim
musical that parodies fairy tales.
"It begins with 'Once upon a time'
and ends with 'Happily ever after,"'
director Kevin Markle said. However,
the stories in between are fairy tales
with a modern twist, he said.
The second and last sets are "Love"
sets that include the best Broadway love
songs. Both are casual and fun and
include the hits "Love, I Hear" from "A
Funny Thing Happened on the Way to
the Forum" and "The Human Heart"
from "Once on This Island."
Set three offers its own impressive
renditions of songs from Tony award
winning "Cats" and "Phantom of the
Opera."
The performance, including
"Memory" and "All I Ask of You," was
so precise and professional that the au
dience was left spellbound.

of rap music as a tool for black unity and
artistic expression was solidified while
studying at Adelphi University. He was
involved deeply with college radio and
Def Jam Productions, and the area hip
hop industry helped give him the impe
tus for Public Enemy.
Chuck emphasized that rap music
was an amazing element of unity for
blacks across the country. It is a phe- -nomenal
network for communication
outside the traditional white power struc
ture of communication through which
he and Allen still try to push the black
perspective.
"We can make the black community
worldwide through music," said Chuck.
Like Allen, Chuck D. talked about
his role in the black community and in
Public Enemy, defining many of Public
Enemy's album and song titles in the
process.
Allen's and Chuck D.'s roles as me
dia activists for the black community
and the necessity for greater communi
cation and educat ional networks among
blacks were major topics during the
question-and-answer session.

completely different from last year's
performance. !
"No song will be repeated," said
Markle, who was involved in last year's
production.
Although the Cabaret lacks the room
for elaborate sets and huge companies,
the sound transcends the walls of the
theater and transforms the stage imp
New York Broadway. !
The attraction of this event is the
talented singers and diverse directors.;
Performers include voices from
around campus, including members of
the Clef Hangers, Loreleis, Tar Heel
Voices and Men's and Women's Glee
Clubs.
These talents, working with the range
of styles of the directors, provide a little
Broadway magic on the UNC campus.
Broadway Melodies will be per
formed at 8 p.m. today and Saturday in
the Union Cabaret. Tickets are $2 for
UNC students and $4 for the public.
