fcThe Daily Tar HeclWedncsday, September 23, 1992 I 'Dirty Dozen' band brings diverse jazz to ArtsCenter stage By Duncan Young Staff Writer Unless you like your jazz jamming and your parties jumping, steer clear of the Carrboro ArtsCenter Thursday night. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, hot on the release of their newest album "Open Up (Whatcha Gonna Do With the Rest of Your Life)," will roll into town with their unique, wonderfully diverse brand of jazz. The band, bom out of the musical party of New Orleans, is enjoying its 15th year of critical and popular ac claim. This acclaim, the result of the band's ability to cross over from the world of straight jazz to touch main stream audiences, has put the band in high demand in the music industry. Working with such names as the Grate ful Dead, Elvis Costello and 2 Live Crew, however, has never compro mised the band's musical ideals. DDBB's popularity lies in their di versity. Listeners Thursday night can expect anything from raspy, "smoke- jLIoyd ;late Monday night, after which the group ;said they had no other recourse but to ;write the impeachment bill. ; "We can't just stand by and let these violations continue," Allen said.

Kalamu ya Salaam, a professional writer and music producer, believes that despite this diversity, the DDBB is still a diehard jazz act. "The incorporation of these (different) influences gives color to the music," he writes in the liner notes of the DDBB's latest album, "but the basic jazz character remains intact." The band's appearance is all part of the ArtsCenter Jazz Series, which show cases a different jazz performer each month. The series is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Jane Rienecke, producer of jazz at the ArtsCenter, hailed not so much the NEA's financial support, but instead their symbolic power in heightening jazz awareness. "They don't give a lot of money," she said, "but they give money, and that's what's important." The ArtsCenter dance floor will open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 to the public, $1 1 to seniors and students and $10 to friends of the ArtsCenter. outsider on the inside, and if I have to stay here and be a thorn in their side to make sure things are run cleanly, I will."

"I am convinced the programs are designed to be very inclusive. (But) the architectural form of the building will have an effect on how inclusive those programs would be. "What I would like to see is a plan be developed which would deal with some thing that would recognize all groups on campus." Advocates for a free-standing BCC say housing many different groups in one space would dilute the educational effect of the center. The coalition for a free-standing BCC contends that a center for the study of black history and culture would benefit all students, not just blacks. Although Moody said he proposed a multicultural center, he said he did not advocate a free-standing building for the center because of space constraints on the campus. Many student and academic groups also are cramped for space, he said. Moody said the only land that had been proposed for a free-standing cen- .. ter was the space between Wilson Li- brary, Venable Hall and Kenan Labora-' tones. - 1 ' ' ' That land was evaluated by an out side developer in 1988 who said the Miss Ruth frompagel cash register. She is decked iit vibrant colors, characteristic of the butterflies she admires so much. As a student hands her his UNC ONE Card, he is greeted with a wide smile and: "Hey, honey! Where have you been?" Lockhart said Rourk gets to know the customers. "Miss Ruth is like a mother." In addition to mothering her custom ers, Rourk has two sons, Derick Justice, 31, of Clayton and Kurt Justice, 27, of Durham. Rourk, whose mother also lives in Chapel Hill, has a 5-month-old grand child, Joshua. Because of her strong family ties and satisfaction with her job, Rourk hopes to stay in Chapel Hill. "I would like to retire here," she said. . Rourk said that she would like to move to a higher management position before retirement but that she still wanted to work with young people. "I'd like to do something a little different but still work with students," she said. Derby said he hoped Rourk would interview if a management position be came open. "Ruth does an exceptional job with customers. She really has a loyal following over there, and that's a big part of her success." Learn about the Foreign Service Examination and the the U.S. abroad. Also, information on Civil .jSsU-K from page 1 land could support a 1 10,000 square feet building. "Whatever is done with space on central campus has to deal with maxi mizing the space," he said. "All the student space on this campus needs to be expanded. I don't see a feasible way a BCC would maximize space of North Campus, and I don't want to see it on South Campus either." There are many alternatives for a new, free-standing black cultural cen ter, Moody said. The Student Union and the Daniels Building that houses the UNC Student Stores both could be expanded, he said. Other suggestions have been the Un dergraduate Library or building another Student Union. Moody said many students support his stance on the BCC. Organizers of Students for a Multicultural Center said they created the group so students could let adminis trators know how many students would prefer a multicultural center. The three organizers say they are not leading a counter-coalition, but only want to be a vehicle for students who favor a center that would include many different cultures. ' Organizers Shilpa Shah, Elizabeth Dilley and Stephanie Bennett said their first meeting last week attracted about 30 students from many different cul tural groups, including the Black Aware ness Council, a group that has been very active in the coalition for a free-standing BCC. The three organizers agreed that the meeting was "a useful discussion." Dilley said she was pleased that many people got the opportunity to express their opinions. "Everyone who came got a chance to speak who wanted to speak," she said. "It got a lot of ideas into the open." Campus Calendar WEDNESDAY 12:50 p.m. Loreleig will sing in the Pit. 2 pan.

Department of State Poetry show brings art to Carrboro By Waynette Gladden and Alex McMillan Staff Wriltra Poet's Corner is redefining poetry readings. For those who think poetry readings are dull, stiff and boring, or maybe terrifying experiences in their high school English class, the Carrboro ArtsCenter' s Poet's Corner will come as a shock. Every Thursday the ArtsCenter of fers an evening of poetry, music and performance art, not to mention free popcorn and cheap beer. Each night has a theme, including such topics as "Musicians as Poets," "Women' s Poetry" and "Poe's Corner." Local performance group the East End Players helps bring the theme to life by preparing performances focusing on the night's featured poet or theme. Byron Woods, a graduate student in speech communications and member of East End Players, said, "Poetry is an art form that breathes." Anyone present at the ArtsCenter last Thursday night would agree. All the performers had their own particular styles. The Lockridge Follies gave a foot-stomping rendition of "The Minstrels of Pasquatank," a performance piece complete with grown men hop ping around the stage as bullfrogs. Charles Streeter and Brian Britt, both seniors in speech communication, per formed a heated discussion between Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes. Streeter and Britt began the piece acting as students reading about the two poets for class. Eventually they became the poets themselves. The climax of the piece was a poem by Hughes put to jazz. Britt recited the lyrics soulfully, ad dressing individual members of the au dience, drawing them into the poem. Jeff Burcher, director of East End Players, said Poet's Corner was de signed for "all poets looking for an outlet." Anyone is welcome to perform, he said. "Poets, actors, readers, musi cians anything goes. It's a way to bring all arts together." Woods said an aim of the evening was to create a "very informal" atmo sphere reminiscent of "coffee houses of the 50s generation; beatnik, I suppose." The theater is cafe style with lots of well-lit tables. The audience is free to come and go to talk, to study , to order pizza. Students are welcome to perform as well as attend. Streeter read numer ous pieces ranging from 'Langston Hughes to George Moses Horton. "I decided to come out and take a chance, so here I am," he said. Poet's Corner is ushered in each Thursday night by live music. Theopen mike session at 7:30 p.m. allows any one, including students and local poets and musicians, to perform original work and others' works. Open mike is fol lowed by readings from the week's fea tured poet and performances by the East End Players. The night ends around 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $3 at the door.
