2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, August 26, 1992 Ul Vr'-.l "N - f I'ii I Fiddlin and Cajun culture spice up ArtsCente By Mondy Lamb Senior Writer Lousiana band Beausoleil will perform Cajun music at the ArtsCenter Saturday night College students come and go, but it's concerts as usual at the Carrboro ArtsCenter this season. Two programs featuring Cajun and folk music highlight this weekend as one not to miss, as the ArtsCenter dabbles in Southern culture, welcom ing folk artist Mike Cross and "Louisiana's leading ambassadors of Cajun music," Beausoleil. Fiddler and songwriter Mike Cross takes the stage Friday night with his own brand of folk, which he terms "Ap palachian Mountain Boogie." This self proclaimed boogie-blend of folk, blues, rock, country and Irish most recently has been released on Cross's album "Irregular Guy." Saturday night, Cajun culture fills the air, with a Cajun dinner launching a concert for the Louisiana-bred band Beausoleil. The word Beausoleil, liter ally meaning "beautiful sun" in French, is more than just a name. Originating from a geographical name in Cajun history, it has come to mean a state of being and way of life. The term encom passes a person of heroic qualities, said band manager Herschel Freeman. Like Beausoleil's name, the music the band plays is more than just music, it's a way of life. There is no other musical form quite like Cajun music because of the Afro-French heritage engendering the culture it represents. "It's a live tradition," said lead singer and fiddler Michael Doucet. "We don't want to be known as a band that never changes. This is living music." Freeman said the music was "based in traditional Cajun music with acces-' sible and danceable rhythms. Their Cajun sound has a very contemporary feeling." Beausoleil has been nominated for Introducing the newest additions Performance Bicycle Line!

"(The whistles are) an effort to make people more aware," he said. "The pur pose is to make people aware of areas around campus that are dangerous, and hopefully to be used as a tool." . Gustavus Bass, an RA in Mangum Residence Hall, said he thought the whistles and Perry's programs were ef fective, r i "Lieutenant Perry seemed very in terested in coming to the residence halls," he said. "If we can get kids to come, they can be more aware. Npt everyone comes to the programs, but it should help." Jane Cousins, spokeswoman for the Chapel Hill police department, said she thought the whistles would be effective as long as people carried them where they easily could be reached. When you're walking alone on cam pus, you need to have it in your hand. If it's in your book bag, in the bottom, it's not going to do you any good," she said. "The whistles are a great program,' as long as everybody knows about the program. "People need to know about the'pro gram so they know something is wrong when they hejtf a whistle."
