By Elizabeth Oliver
Staff Writer
The Clef Hangers will treat UNC to
twoeveningsofacappellaperformances
at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Carroll
Hall, jamming with groups from along
the Eastern coast.
Following tradition, the new mem
bers of the Clef Hangers organized this
year's invitational. These five industri
ous men have been planning this event
since early December.
The Clefs have altered the customs
of the invitational by inviting twice as
imany groups, thus organizing the first
two-day Clef Hanger invitational.
, As Clef member Ron Mourad points
out, the organizers balanced the jams

Benefit to feature readings, BSM Gospel Choir
By Jennl Spitz
Staff Writer
A benefit performance in honor of
Blyden and Roberta Jackson, two of the
University community's finest schol
ars, will be held Sunday to raise money
for a fellowship in their names.
The program, which will be held at 3
p.m. and 8 p.m. in the Hanes Art Center
auditorium, will feature dramatic read
ings from University faculty members'
original texts and a performance by the
Black Student Movement Gospel Choir.
Tickets for the benefit are $5 for
students and $10 for the public. Pro
ceeds will go toward the fellowship,
which organizers hope will eventually
total $150,000.
Almost $ 1 0,000 has been raised, and
benefit organizers hope Sunday's shows
will add momentum to the campaign.

also tried to give exposure to new groups
while treating the students to old favor
ites. Five groups will perform each night
in segments of 20 minutes per group.
The Clef Hangers will participate in
both jams.
Friday night's show will feature the
B-Naturals; Duke Out of the Blue, a
relatively new female group; William
and Mary's Gentlemen of the College;
and UNC's Loreleis.
Saturday night's program comprises
The Extractions from the UNC School
of Dentistry, Vocal Point from the Uni
versity of Rochester and the University
of Virginia Gentlemen.
The repertoires of both concerts will
include many pop selections. Clef
Hanger Mike Wakeford said although
Keith Clark, a graduate student and
cultural coordinator for African-American
studies, said he believed the concert
would hold great public appeal.
"We hope it will draw in the commu
nity and bring people together," Clark
said.
"We also want to encourage stu
dents, faculty and staff to attend, be
cause Dr. Jackson has been so instru
mental to the University," he said.
Clark said some of the Jacksons'
colleagues, such as Martha and William
Hardy, would give dramatic readings
from black literature, and Tom
Warburton, professor of music, would
perform several ragtime selections.
The BSM Gospel Choir will partici
pate because the black group can high
light the benefit's theme, "the celebra
tion of black heritage," BSM member
Sebastian Shipp said. Shipp said he

the Clefs were not entirely familiar with
the other groups' styles, William and
Mary's Gentlemen of the College were
expected to do more of a barber-shop
variety of songs.
Although the Clef Hangers pleased
their audience last semester, director
Zach Nelson said the group had im
proved greatly since then. The Clefs'
debut of seven new songs this weekend
reflects this fact.
Nelson said he also was pleased with
the zealous effort put forth by the orga
nizing Clefs and emphasized that the
entire group has been working very
hard to prepare for the upcoming per
formances. One element of the program that will
certainly be of interest according to
Clef president Jon Owen is a jazz ar
believed the choir's gospel selections
would add flavor to the program.
The Jacksons are being honored for
years of contribution and dedication to
the University. Blyden Jackson was one
of the first black faculty members at
UNC and the first to become a full
professor. He retired in 1981 and now is
writing a four-volume narrative about
African-American literature. Roberta
Jackson was the first black tenure-track
faculty member of the School of Educa
tion in 1970.
Joseph Flora, professor of English,
said the performance was a joint town
gown idea.
"I was called by people in the com
munity and others who said, 'Blyden
Jackson should be remembered, hon
ored in some way,'" Flora said.
Flora thought the fellowship was
appropriate because Blyden Jackson

rangement called "Some Minor

Bowman arranged the piece.
Another point of interest will be The
Extractions. The quintet of vocalists
includes three Clef alumni.
Talking to Wakeford, it is clear that
this concert will be an opportunity to
see a variety of a cappella groups and to
be exposed to numerous sounds. Mourad
simply stated, "It's gonna be great!"
Judging by the excitement in his voice
and the enthusiasm displayed by other
Clef Hangers, it is easy to believe them.

brought the subject of African-American
literature to the English depart
ment. He also pointed out that the award
would strengthen the department as
"perhaps the leading graduate depart
ment in African-American literature in
the country."
The benefit, which organizers hope
will become an annual event, is spon
sored by the departments of English,
Speech Communication and Music, the
Office of the Chancellor, the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences and the
curriculum in African and Afro-American
studies. Through an evening com
mitted to cultural enrichment and enter
tainment, these groups hope to foster
further excellence in the University's
African-American curriculum.
Congress
nents would have an added means of
enlisting support," Eisley said.

She said she did not know if the team
would use stickers if the bill were put
into effect in time.
Candidate Peter Wallsten agreed with
Eisley. "It's just plain unfair. I don't
understand Student Congress' rationale
in reversing this rule."
Wallsten said it was fair to allow the

not know if he would appeal the elec

he probably would take some action.
Stephanie Johnston, the other DTH
editor candidate, said she didn't think it
was fair for congress to pass this bill so
late in the election. "I don't really like
them doing it this late in the election
unless they have a very good reason."
