Those questioned were the Rev. Dr. Warren Carr, pastor of Wake Forest Baptist Church; university chaplain Ed Christman; Don Schoonmaker and David Broyles, both associate professors of poli,tics; and C.H. Richards, professor of politics. Opinions varied as to the nature and extent of the parareligious movement. The faculty Institutional Planning Committee voted to recommend that the administration give its full support to the most recent plan to link Silas Creek Parkway to Silas Creek Parkway Extension dur_ing last month's meeting. The proposed route would begin on Silas Creek Parkway 1000 feet before Reynold a Road intersects Wake Forest ·Road.

The comparison revealed significant price differences among the convenience foods most often consumed by students. During the week of October 3·10, seven PIRG students priced 18 commonly bought items at six local stores: Big Star, Food Fair, Food World, Kroger, Mt. Tabor and Thrifti Mart. The stores did not necessarily carry the same brands or the same sizes. Therefore, the market basket total for each store was narrowed to 13 items. These items included milk, potato chips, Coca· Cola, bread, peanut butter, crackers, yogurt, cheese, laundry detergent, coffee, cereal and beer. Thrifti Mart was found to have the highest market basket total, but Kroger was found most often to have the highest price. Mt. Tabor had the lowest market basket total and most often had the lowest price for an individual item. Two stores, Kroger and Big Star, carried a store brand. Kroger most often had a store brand available; however, the highest overall · savings from buying the store brand of the items surveyed was at Big Star. To make sure the prices were not sales or specials, the items were · rechecked after two weeks. Information was also gathered on the stores' hours, check policy, bakery and delicatessen, as well as the availability of alcoholic beverages. "We are looking for enthusiastic students who would like to become involved in consumer affairs. We are an open-minded group, not radical, which most students don't realize," Jeff Bilas, who conducted the survey, said.

The role of the Moral Majority and similar parareligioue groups in the 1980 political campaigns and elections yielded a mandate for some, a threat for others and a question for all: is the American political concept of the s'ecular and the sacred changing?

Those questioned were the Rev. Dr. Warren Carr, pastor of Wake Forest Baptist Church; university chaplain Ed Christman; Don Schoonmaker and David Broyles, both associate professors of poli,tics; and C.H. Richards, professor of politics.

Maria Henson Assistant editor

Even ti10ugh the WF football team failed to capture a bowl bid, the university's. hopes for a national championship are still alive thanks to the WF All·Star College Bowl team.

The team won three successive matches at the regional tour· nament in Charlotte last weekend to qualify for the national tour· nament in February.

The all·star team includes captain Victor Hastings, a junior who played on the 309-A Final Edition campus champion team; Jim Fredericks, a senior who played for the Idiot Savants; David Smith, a junior on the APO Flying Lizards; Alan Mark, a sophomore on the 309-B team; and alternate Mike Applegate, a senior on the 309-A Final Edition team.

Reynolds Foundation commends university

Margaret Kerfoot Auoc:l&to Editor

Citing the continual pursuit of excellence by Wake Forest Za~hary Smith, president of the z: Sm1th Reynolds Foundation, an­nounced a $4.5 million donation at a convocation honoring the foun· dation last Thursday.

Smith outlined seven reasons for the foundation's support which has totaled more than $37 million during the past 33 years:

··the university's accelerating academic excellence.

··the university's posture in times of adversity.

··the university's stance on academic freedom.

··the graduate school's growth in strength and stature.

··the increasingly high quality of the library.

··the increasing alumni support.

··the continued efforts to improve minority presence on campus.

"The compact reached in 1946 was a wise one ... Wake Forest would not be what it is without its location in Winston-Salem, and Winston·Salem and North Carolina would not be what they are without Wake Forest," Smith said.

Endowment is an important stabilizer for the uncertain in· flationary years . ahead and it strengthens the fiscal backbone of the institution, he said.

"It makes possible advances not otherwise realistic," Smith said.

Smith urged everyone to become a friend of Wake Forest and to encourage others to become gift· minded friends of the tmiversity ..

"Investment in Wake Forest is wise and worthy," Smith said.

"Second, we should complete the Fine Arts Center."

"The dogmatic religious ideologues don't un· derstand American pluralism," Schoonmaker said. "They often have an absolutist position which smacks of intolerance and doesn't fit in with coalition politics."

Richards did not think the mere existence of politically-active parareligious groups constituted a direct threat to the separation of church and state.

"I think the Moral Majority, from a constitutional viewpoint, has as much right as any interest group to exist," Richards said.

The National Council of Churches has had an in· fluential lobby group for several years, he said.

"The danger is that the movements will set up an uncompromising religious criteria ... and demand that government policy meet it," Richards added.

Christman agreed with Richards. "It's one thing to have ethical objections, quite another to insist that there is only one absolute Christian way of looking at things," Christman said.

From a different perspective, Broyles thought it inconsistent to criticize the parareligious groups for politicizing their faith when Christians have used their beliefs as justification for activism in the civil rights and feminist movements, the campaign against the world hunger and other issues.

"The opportunity for Wake Forest to seek the kind of people we can get (as Reynolds professors) will add greatly to the quality of the univer· sity," Dean of the College Thomas A. MuUen said.

"We're not just in· terested in gaining a person of national renown · he or she must also enjoy the intellectual exchange of the classroom," MuUen said.

"We hope that the Reynolds scholarships will make it possible for the most actively recruited students to decide on Wake Forest without regard to financial consideration.

The members of the campaign executive committee are J. Paul Sticht, R.J. Reynolds Industries Inc.; Thomas H. Davis, president, Piedmont Aviation Inc.; Colin Stukes, retired chairman of R.J. Reynolds Industries Inc. and chairman of the board of trustees; Albert Butler, president, The Arista Company Inc.; and John Medlin Jr., president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Com· pany.

Butler has been in· volved in several fund· raising campaigns for Wake Forest, most recently the first phase of the 150 Fund. He will become a trustee in January.

"We decided it would be significant if Wake Forest could get over $10 million," he said. The goal was a bout $8.6 million. "So rather than

"I became involved with Wake Forest as a concerned Winston· Salem citizen," Butler, who graduated from Princeton, said. "(This program) is a fine thing for the entire com· munity."

Assessment of the Reynolda campus' needs began in the fall of 1977 when Scales appointed a committee to study departmental proposals. The committee, which consisted of students, faculty and ad· ministration, made its recommendations to. the Board of Trustees in late 1978.

"When President Scales appointed the committee, he made two suggestions," Doyl-e· Fossa, committee chairman and professor of English, said. "First, that the third phase of the 150 Fund shouldn't be a 'bricks and mortar'

· The .task of assessing · recommendations began

in March 1978, Fosso said. "The departmental requests all bad to be evaluated, and most of the cuts were received amicably. We allowed considerable time and opportunity for appeal and discussion."

One area of great concern remains, Fosso said· a ·computer center. "Our needs are great in that area, and this need was voted by the com· mittee. H<lwever, it was not included in the final plan because without outside advice we didn't know how much of a computer system we would need.

"The institution needs to further consider those needs, but they are beyond the scope of phase three."

Another point of concern was the qualitr and autonomy of candidates supported by the parareligious groups and the policy they will un· dertake.

Christman felt policymakers with a Moral Majority· type perspective might be limited to interests in specific issues, whereas a government must necessarily deal with a broad range of needs.

Forsyth legal fees exceed those ADDENDA Carr also feared politicians supported by the

parareligious factions would be obligated to the political, cultural and social ambitions of those groups.

in _ Alanlance, Guilford counties At the recent N.C. Baptist State Convention, he

introduced a resolution asking the convention to formally disclaim affiliation of politicians with parareligious organizations.

A modified version of the resolution was adopted. Schoonmaker cautiously asserted the belief that

divergent interests of different political constituencies would keep the parareligious groups from enjoying full acceptance and success in influencing policym a king.

"I think the American people are a little too can· tankerous for that," Schoonmaker said.

Broyles thought the extremist aspects of the. parareligious groups will gradually be assimilated into mainstream politics.

"I think the moderates will prevail ... if Reagan's leadership is effective," Broyles said.

Richards and Christman think a continued decline in the United States' fortunes at home and abroad will enhance the parareligious groups' appeal and possibly increase their influence.

A recent study by the WF chapter of the N.C. Public Interest Research Group (NC PIRG) revealed the 3verage price for legal services is higher in Forsyth County than in neighboring Guilford and Alamance counties, where lawyers may advertise.

"Essentially our purpose was to make consumers a ware of lawyers' variations in prices and the effect advertising ·has had in helping to bring about lower fees," senior Mike Laffon, who wrote the report, said. Another ·

benefit of advertising is a g reate r consumer awareness of the variety of services lawyers had to offer, he added.

Eight members of the WF chapter of NC PIRG conducted a telephone survey last spring of 11 law practices 'in the Winston-Salem area.

The comparison of their results with the survey of the Elon College chapter of NC PIRG in the Guilford· Alamance area shows lawyers' average fees in Winston-Salem to be considerably higher.

In Winston-Salem, the average fee for un· contested divorce is $165,

In addition, the study discovered that fees in ·Forsyth County vary considerably more than those in the Guilford· Alamance area.

Birth contro~ venereal disease

Clinic informs, advises David Barnes

StaH writer

Information concern· ing birth control and . venereal disease can be obtained by WF students at the Student Health Service clinic located in Kitchin House.

The clinic serves as a referral center but also provides information and access to con­traceptives as well as testing for pregnancy and venereal disease.

"We refer students to Planned Parenthood, the Family Planning Program, a private physician, or we can provide the service ourselves," Dr. Mary Ann Taylor, director of university health ser· vices, said.

The Student Health Service distributes free condoms and con· traceptive foam, fits women for diaphragms, gives Pap smears for women and provides counseling on pregnancy.

11 In providing pregnancy counseling, if they decide to abort, and most of those who come to us do, we refer them to the Forsyth

Pregnancy Termination Clinic near Forsyth Hospital," Taylor said.

The Forsyth Pregnancy Termination Clinic, a private clinic operated by nine local obstetricians and gynecologists, is located -at 3000 Maplewood Ave.

Planned Parenthood and the Family Planning Program provide a range of family planning services. Planned Parenthood, however, is a private, non-profit organization while the Family Planning Program is a federally· funded, county-wide program that provides services at no charge to those who would not get comparable care otherwise.

Planned Parenthood is supported by foundation grants, private con· tributions and fees charged for services. It is located at 129 Fayette St.

Fees are calculated on a sliding scale based on income and the number of children in the family, althou~h no one is turned away if unable to pay.

The rate for all students is $10.

"A large number of

our patients are college students," Gail Hoff· man, executive director of Planned Parenthood, said.

"Our biggest problem is ignorance," she said, "so we do a lot of educational work.

Hoffman runs the clinic along with two other full·time em· ployees and 14 volun· teers.

The Family Planning Program of Foi:syth County is federally· funded through the Family Planning Division of the N.C. Department of Human Resources by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The staff of 16 works mostly with college and high school students. The clinic is located in the Reynolds Health Center at 741 North Highland Ave.

rn addition to the services offered by the Student Health Services, both the Planned Parenthood and the Family Planning program offer sterilization counseling, infertility treatment and

- educational programs.

Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Midweeks And the controversy con·

tinues. Since last spring, students and administrators have attempted to resolve the current crisis of social policy plaguing Wake Forest • mid· week parties.

Numerous issues have been raised · alcohol abuse, the freedom and responsibility of students, low class attendance, excessive noise in the dorms, the authority of the ad· ministration in decision making.

Many of these points are valid and deserve closer scrutiny; yet many points raised reveal an immaturity and lack of foresight shared by both sides.

This quibbling over the future of midweek parties represents the continuation of a dangerous trend · the myopic obsession with surface symptoms which prevent the diagnosis and treatment of a disease with deeper roots.

:'Student concern over the elimination of midweek parties may appear trivial, yet this adamant protest belies a voice not yet effectively articulated • the desire to create a campus atmosphere where social freedom can simultaneously accompany academic freedom.

The two issues are not as disparate as they may seem.

The university must commit itself to providing a quality liberal arts education for the student, an education which touches upon all phases of human development.

Dean of Women Lu Leake claimed, "When a student signs

on, he takes on freedom, but ~lso gives up freedom, as wit}'! a

marriage or any such relationship."

More correctly, he should not give up freedom, but rather take on responsibility.

This attitude ignores the primary issue of responsibility. Only through the shouldering of responsibility can the student mature · and the prevailing philosophy of "in loco parentis" removes freedom of choice for the student.

Freedom and responsibility must be delicately balanced, and without the opportunity for conflict and choice, the student is denied the opportunity to address the problems which will brutally assault him in the "real world."

If the university wishes to help prepare the liberal arts graduate for the world beyond, the first opportunities for choice must be granted within the bastion of academia.

Has the administration thought that excessive drinking may arise from frustration· the frustration the student feels in a world where the decisions are not his own?

Both sides need to focus on the philosophy of "in loco parentis."

The university should provide the structure and channels for decision making and the resolution of conflict, yet it should not have the sole decision-making power.

Give the students the freedom to choose, to bear the responsibility of choice and to learn that, in the years to come, no one will always protect them from the consequences of choice.

I am disapointed with many aspects oflife at Wake Forest and I guess this is the forum in which I may vent my frustrations.

To the editors of Old Gold & Black. Wouldn't it be more space· efficient to paraphrase letters?

For example, the first two in· stallments of Reynolda Hall Responds could have been con­densed to read, "We've made changes in the past to reach the 19th century. Don't rush the 2oth. Wake Forest has always been backwards and socially out-of· touch. Why expect a change now?"

To the administration: I'd like to introduce you to a new word, historicism. That is the belief that a description is an explanation.

We aren't concerned with WF social progress over the last 146 years.

We want to know where Wake is going now, and your time· consuming historical sermons don't tell us a thing.

While I'm on a roll, Jet's talk about in loco parentis. I won't quibble over the validity of the concept since that would compel you to beat a dead horse, but if your actions are in any way represen­tative of those of a parent, then the American family is in dire straits.

To students: Isn't it odd that Wake Forest suddenly developed an alcohol problem just when Student Government came up with a viable alternative to the present antiquated intervisitation policy?

The administration will try to convince you that a trade-off of midweek parties for new social policy is an act of bargaining.

Guess again. Midweek parties and the new social policy are totally unrelated except that the administration is using the former as a smokescreen to make us forget the latter.

This is my first installment in a series of letters to the editor. It's time for the Wake Forest 3000 to take their gloves off and prepare for some serious infighting regarding social policy at this school.

Lenin's Sixty-three years ago this month,

in November, 1917, Lenin's Bolsheviks overthrew Kerensky's liberal provisional government and founded the Soviet state.

History has judged Lenin and his descendants rather harshly, because instead of ending "capitalist oppression" of labor and moving toward the "worker's paradise," the Soviet regime has continued to exercise its dictatorial powers over an enslaved nation.

The reign of terror begun by Lenin and continued by Stalin has abated only in degree, not in kind.

Lenin and Stalin believed that their goal justified any and all means, and thus morality was subordinated to the class struggle.

One could accept this if the lower classes had been helped, and the

Open house, housing patterns

and dorm maintenance examined This week we will address

specific questions regarding open house, separate sex housing pat· terns and residence hall main· tenance.

What is the rationale behind the present open house policy? Can anything be done to change the policy?

• 0

· Reynold~ Hall :· .· · · · Responds

, . .

The current open house policy is a compromise reached by Student Government and the ad· ministration following a trustee ruling prohibiting intervisitation.

Considerations in the com· promise included concerns of privacy, security and the op·

· portunity to interact informally. Open house was approved to

promote the following: ··provide an opportunity to in·

teract informally, · -enable students to invite guests, including parents and faculty· members, to their rooms,

-create a more homelike en· vironment in the residence halls, and

··encourage experience in planning, problem solving and community building.

The open house concept was not intrnded to become limited

visitation, but it is apparent this has happened.

One of the few remaining characteristics which resemble the original policy is a requirement for planning an activity to serve as the focal point of the open house. The Women's Residence Council has assumed the responsibility for planning open house programs virtually every weekend.

Thus, the women have open house every week, but the social organizations are not doing the same planning on the men's side.

Many students have complained that this once bright and optimistic open house program has been plundered and bankrupted.

Student government has sub· mitted a proposal which would include elimination of the open house program requirement. The Student Life Committee is now considering that proposal.

The issue is a complicated one about which there are honest differences of opinion and no easy solutions.

Why must there be separate men's and women's sides of campus? Housing patterns at Wake Forest are consistent with most other residential colleges. The patterns reflect the assump· tion that there are some dif· ferences in the needs of men and women.

Women's residence halls were designed as a place to live with reasonable security, gr'lcious lounges and kitchens. The suite

arrangement in the men's halls allowed easier access and less security than on the women's halls. The lounge space was designed for social fraternities. It is not likely that there will be a change in this plan except in the context of a revision of housing patterns or other extenuating circumstances.

There have been deliberate ef· forts to modify these patterns, for example, New Dorm, the Town House, Graylyn, Taylor-Davis lounges and the conversion of Efird to a women's hall.

It is interesting to note that in spite of the perceived need for these kinds of housing options, students had to be recruited to live in all of these facilities when they were first opened.

The time and effort required to nudge and even coerce students into accepting a good thing is one of the hidden costs of modifying living arrangements.

What is being done about residence hall maintenance problems? Concern for improving the maintenance of our residence halls is shared by many.

It is apparent that our 25-year­old buildings need attention. The current commitment of resources has not allowed for basic main· tenance needs. A management engineer has been employed to study the situation.

We will discuss some ad· ministrative perspectives con· cerning changes in the final article.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not. going to take it anymore.

Stan Greene

Disappointed

I was rather disappointed to read the open letter from Lu Leake, Ed Cunnings, David Hills and Mark Reece which appeared in the Old Gold & Black on Nov. 14.

The RAs have asked the ad· ministration to inform the students on their position toward the social policy at Wake Forest; however, all they have received is historical · policy fact and irrelevant com· ments on student integrity.

My disappointment was heightened by my reading of the first letter written by those men· tioned above. This letter seems more evasive than the second, which may be expected. It speaks of, first, the student's right and the power of Student Government in formulating social policy.

One thing I think they fail to see is that the Student Government in general accepts the established policy and learns to enforce it. Those in Student Government seem to disregard the policy's implications and appropriateness.

The first letter then moves on to list all the liberal events they have sponsored in recent years. My response to this is, good and well, but if you can have the insight and cultural awareness to support events and policies like these (a lecture by Larry Flynt, for example) why are you so behind in social policy?

Indeed, the administrators say in their first letter, "We seem per­petually out of date." If they are aware of that, why don't they do something about it? After all, administrators only exist for the students' education and growth.

But they seem not to realize that socializing and getting to know one's fellow men and women in an unrestricted manner is one of our most important growing ex·

periences. It is an experience which needs to begin now!

Personally, I'm tired of all the obstacles the administration sets before us. But what should we do, transfer?

I can only hope the future letters to'the OG&B will address specific current policy and the changes we deserve to see.

Soviet terrorism is easily un· derstood when one considers the source: namely, the intellectual elite who first founded the regime and today use the bureaucratic structure and ideology to retain personal power. . The writer Maxim Gorky, an

ardent Communist himself, wrote that his friend Lenin "has no pity for the mass of the people ... the working classes are to Lenin what minerals are to the metallurgist."

Bertrand Russell, as objective an observer as anyone, noted Lenin's "bigotry and Mongolian cruelty." Further, added Russell, "his guffaw at the thought of those massacred made my blood run cold."

Those massacres in the first years were followed by the 1929·32 collectivization era, when peasant rebellions were crushed, Stalin's purges in the 1930s, 1940s, roundups in the Caucasus, as well as NKVD and Security Police atrocities occurred.

And lest we forget that the labor camps in the north took their toll, or start to believe that the regime is starting to become more moderate, let us remember the two million persons now in penal camps, and the "psychiatric care" to which many dissidents are subjected today.

When one analyzes the regime's internal policies of the last sixty­three years and takes a closer look at past and present Soviet leadership, such things as poison gas in Afghanistan, laser-particle beam weaponry development, or aiding both Iran and Iraq in their current war, are easily understood.

The Soviets are guided by a· revolutionary, world-historical mission, fully espoused in the tenets of Marxism-Leninism. For Lenin and successive Soviet leaders, therefore, the end justifies any means.

Consequently, the Soviet people are impoverished, while more satellites are shot into space, submarines launched and missiles loaded. Indeed, in a world devoid of military weapons and power, the USSR would be a tremendously poor nation, with no political clout.

The Soviet Union is without a doubt the Socialist Fatherland, as Lenin had envisioned it would be. At the same time however, it is a monument to the failure of the collectivist state.

Whether the administration has not been listening to our cries, or the students have not been listening to the administration or student leaders, is hard to say. It probably rests with both.

Hopefully, though, we have a new ball game. Having realized the seriousness of these questions, after first refusing to answer them, the administration has promised a response .

"The Elephant Man," directed by David Lynch and starring Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt, is probably the most am­bitious and least am­bitious film made in quite some time.

The realistic makeup allows the audience to make the same kind of adjustments to Merrick's grotesque appearance that the characters in film must make.

Yet "The Elephant Man" does run into some problems when it unambitiously picks up cliche movie motifs.

other hand, is better known for sculpture than painting. Reynolda House purchased a monoprint, but the sculpture on display, unfortunately, is only on temporary loan from the collection.

The monoprint

The movie, taken from a Broadway play of the same name, depicts the life of John Merrick, a Victorian whose horribly misshapen features make him the highlight of a circus sideshow.

Early views of the Elephant Man stress suspense. First the audience sees Treves' reaction to Merrick, then the shadow of Merrick on a screen, then a section of Merrick's head. A full view of the Elephant Man takes 30 painfully drawn out minutes of significant looks and overplayed reactions.

The .Early Music Consort temporarily resurrected the spirit of the Middle Ages last Thursday in a concert featuring muste of the Middle Ages and Renaissance at Reynolds House. ·

Close, born in 1940 and a resident of New York City, chooses to label his style "new realism." The influence of pop art on his work, however, is un· deniable.

"Untitled ... running fig· ure,'' done in 1978, is provocative in its ex­pression of this all-too­familiar endeavor.

Early music charms and refreshes Reynolda House purchased his 1979 fingerprint series, "Keith," through grants of R.J. Reynolds Industries Inc. and the National Endowment for the Arts.·

The painting is lively, in part, because of the vibrant colors. The fire· engine reds set up against the gray and black background call attention to the subject.

A London doctor, Frederick Treves, rescues the "Elephant Man" (Merrick) from the sideshow and demon­strates his internal beauty to Victorian society. The story is a true one, and .in itself represents a very am­bitious start.

The artistic aspects of Lynch's film are just as ambitious. Filmed en· tirely in black and white, the movie includes surrealistic motifs seldom seen in the popular movies.

Settings are often only half seen or illuminated only slightly in a chiaroscuro effect. The use of black and white emphasizes the squalor of Merrick's sideshow world and denies to that world the vividness and appeal color can provide.

Unlike the Broadway version of "The Elephant Man," the movie uses makeup to depict Merrick's deformities.

1r

Through this method of suspense, the director suggests the audience should be frightened · by the Elephant Man rather than initially shocked by his appearance.

The movie also falls into the trap of playing for sympathy instead of naturally eliciting it. Merrick's death scene is particularly overdone.

Questions such as the difference between Merrick's early exhibition and his later exhibition as a societal novelty are left unresolved. This honest complexity makes the film, for it is simultaneously ambi­guous and unambiguous, ultimately thought-pro­voking, troubling and worthwhile.

· Music lovers dulled by familiarity with 20th century concert ex· periences were treated to a refreshing break with tradi~on last Thursday evenmg by the Early Music Consort.

The consort, composed of five professional musicians, offered court music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance in a journey that traced the development of music from the 13th to the 16th century.

The Reynolda House setting created an in· formal atmosphere which allowed the audience to relate and respond on an intimate basis with the performers.

The spirit of the Middle Ages was temporarily resurrected as the musicians in period dress brought · visions of Chaucer and romantic chivalry to the mind.

Surrounded by an im· pressive though un­familiar array of in­struments, the per­formers' informal ap­proach permitted listeners to become acquainted with medieval music.

The program included several selections from each century, opening with an English dance suite from the early 1200s.

During this era music was developing from the monophonic nature of early medieval Gregorian chants to a texture known as polyphony. Polyphonic compositions include two or more melodies played simultaneously, a characteristic more pronounced in the 16th than 13th century selec­tions.

The entire per-formance created a mood similar to that which folk music creates, an ex-

perience inviting relaxed participation rather than demanding stringent attention. Vocal and instrumental pieces were intermixed.

The vocalist, tenor William Reynolds, proved to be an excellent storyteller as he related the bawdy tale of a young wife's indiscretion during her husband's absence.

Each musician has mastered several in· struments of the period. A unique feature of the evening's performance was the explanation of the medieval in­struments.

The krummhorn is a crooked horn with a double reed which the player assured us would .sound precisely the same if straightened out; the crook feature is purely for interest.

One of the most unusual sounds was created by the hurdy-gurdy, a box with a built-in keyboard

and a wooden wheel which turns over three strings.

Two familiar in­struments were the guitar, which has changed relatively little since the Middle Ages, and the fretted lute.

From the zither family were the psaltry and the harp. A variety of recorders were used, ranging in size from one to four feet. Many of these instruments originated in Arabia, which perhaps accounts for the enchantment they create.

The Early Music Consort certainly charmed its audience. The variety of Medieval music included works by two of the greatest composers of the time; the poet Guillaume de Machaut and the blind Florentine organist Francesco Landini.

Close utilizes various mediums such as stamp pad, ink, white conte crayon and watercolor and pencil to achieve a uniqueness in each member of the series. The differences between them are minimal, though, and require close examination by the viewer.

In some pieces Close uses penciled squares to give the fingerprints a more rigid, defined quality.

ln all of the works, however, the detail and large scale require the viewer to step back in order to grasp the whole impact of the work. From Close's series, one gains the sense of looking at a subject photographically.

Ten years later, Piccolo lives ••• Phll Hrlchak

Associate Soorts Editor

In the early morning hours of June 16, 1970, the body which represented the form of one Louis Brian Piccolo ceased to exist. Following nearly a year-long battle with cancer, Piccolo's body did what all organic bodies eventually do, it expired. Yet Brian Piccolo himself never really died.

When the television movie "Brian's Song" first aired, a lot of people watched the eleven o'clock news with tears in their eyes.

Nonetheless, Piccolo became one of my many heroes, not because of his death, but because of his life. It seemed that in those boyhood days, anybody of less than outstanding athletic ability always sided with the scrappy underdog.

It could be quite possible that 1 kept my eyes dry out of defiance. It occurred to me that Piccolo had a life of his own and that many people, without con· sciously realizing it, were shedding more tears for James Caan than they were for Brian Piccolo.

In the Duke game, Piccolo carried 36 times, as opposed to 35 carries for the entire Devil back· field. He gained 115 yards, to Duke's 102 yards. Piccolo also scored all20 points in that game.

The same year, he was given the Arnold Palmer award as Wake's athlete of the year. He was MVP for the football team for the second consecutive year and he was named ACC football player of the year. Eventually, he was named ACC athlete of the year. He was chosen to several all-American teams and during his four-year career as a Deacon fullback, he set six ACC records.

Today, some ten years after hi& departure from this life; Brian Piccolo and the story of the man continue to live. We must, however, be careful to remember Piccolo for the man he was and the spirit which he left. It is all too easy to see the man immortalized in the face of a television actor.

More than one starry· eyed freshman has en· tered the gym and been shocked because, upon seeing the picture of Piccolo, they readily admit that they "didn't expect him to look anything like that.''

RDIMarsh Sporis writer

Despite two losses in the Atlantic Coast Conference Rugby Challenge at Clemson Saturday, the Wake Forest rugby club is confident about its potential for the spring season.

The club lost a physical, hard·fought match against Duke Saturday morning, and then was beaten by Maryland in the evening.

. Golfers take tourney

The Deacs carried the mm1mum number of 15 men with them on the trip, but when several players were injured in the morning, the team had to borrow

""' players from Maryland to play in the night match. Since only 15 traveled due to economic restrictions, the Deacs had many players out of position and were without some of their first line players.

The Wake Forest women's golf team captured the sixth North Carolina women's intercollegiate golf title by one stroke over the University of North Carolina last weekend.

Wake shot a 625 for the tournament, and survived a furious final round comeback by the Tar Heels. The Deacons led by 12 strokes after the first round.

Wake junior Patty Jordan won the individual title with a 10 over par score of 150 on the 5,850-yard layout. She edged Duke freshman Mary Ann

\..Widman with a par on the first hole of a play-off . .)

The club's record is now 5-5 this season and senior Woody Mendenhall is pleased with the progress of the team. "Since we split from the grad students (the team separated from the Wake graduate students who helped form last year's team) we have been playing with many players who have less than one year of experience," Mendenhall said. "They have shown great potential and flashes of fine play. It will come together with more play."

The young team, made up of freshmen and sophomores, is at a disadvantage

against more experienced teams because rugby takes time for its players to per· form well together, Mendenhall said.

The team faces a common problem with other ACC schools because the sport is not recognized by the ACC and receives little or no financial aid from the universities they represent. The teams and players pay for all trips and equipment with semesterly dues.

The Deacs have only one match left in the fall season and it will be played Sunday against North Carolina. The match starts at 2 p.m. on the water tower field.

There is a spring season, however, and the Deacs play eight matches and host a tournament which features sixteen teams. Eight of the teams come from North Carolina, while the others come from as far away as Florida, Canada and England. The remaining participants come from states in the eastern part of the country.

Mendenhall is excited about the spring season. "The tournament is a great event, and our team is usually stronger in the spring," he said. "We seem to get more people to participate at that time. With the added experience of our younger players, we have the nucleus of a good team. We should be strong for a few years to come as these players get better with time."

Deacs-ASU take to the air ·Linda Jenkins

8porlt wrltor

When the Wake Fore'st Deacons take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers at Groves Stadium tomorrow, You can bet the football will be flying. Both teams will be going to the air in an attempt to capture one last win in the 1980 season.

While ASU spent last weekend . resting and recouperating from in· juries, Wake battled nationally-ranked South Car~lina.

Tlie disappointing 39·38 loss_ was yet another heart-breaking episode for the Deacs, who have lost four games this year by a total of seven points.

"I thought we played · with emotion, en·

thusiasm, intestinal fortitude and aggressiveness," head

coach John Mackovic said. "I couldn't say I was disappointed in our · .effort, preparation· or performance, only in the result."

Despite a mediocre 4-6 record, the Deacs ba"ve had a ·season of record setting performances. Last Saturday's game against" USC· saw the destruction of four conference and school records.·

Quarterback Jay Venuto continued his assualt on the record books by completing 28 oi 50 passes for 447 yards and four touchdowns. Venuto now holds the ACC record for most touchdown passes thrown in a season, with 19. And in . just two seasons, he has thrown more career touchdown passes than anyone in ACC history.

His mark now stands at 35.

Although Venuto's achievements cast a long shadow, both Wayne Baumgardner and Kenny Duckett have established themselves in the ACC limelight.

Baumgardner caught twelve passes for an incredible 271 yards and two touchdowns last Saturday to set Wake Forest and ACC records. It is the most yardage gained by any receiver in the nation in a single game this season.

Duckett has caught 10 touchdown passes, and that gives him the ACC record for scoring receptions in a single season.

The ASU Mountaineers have their own version of the Venuto-Baumgardner combination. In Boone the key · phrase is the

Beasley's appearance will be a crucial factor in ASU's chances for pulling out a victory.

In addition to the of· fensive threat of Brown and Beasley, Maekovic and the Deacs will be up against the talents of Mike Working, head coach of the Appalachian team. Working was the offensive coordinator at Wake last season and is thus familiar with Mackovic's tactics.

Wake harriers finish season

Dave Ferlnga SPDflswrltw

The Wake Forest cross country team ran its last meet of the season Nov. 15 at the Southeastern regionals hosted by Furman College.

East Tennessee State won the regional meet and was followed by Clemson, Auburn, Western Kentucky and Tennessee. All five teams qualify for the NCAA finals.

Although the Deacons finished in the lower third of the teams entered, Coach Ramsay Thomas still felt the race was the squad's best of the season.

Bob Petrini was the first Deacon finisher as he ran his strongest race of the year. "Bob was looking very good in late workouts and was run­ning well. This was his best performance of the year," Thomas stated.

"Andy Utter~ also had another good, steady race."

Finishing behind Petrini and Utter for Wake were Todd Newton, Adam Bean and Bill Block. "All three of these guys had already started track workouts prior to the regionals and still ran well. I learned something from this," Thomas said.

Petrini will lead a young Deacon team next year that only loses its one senior, Utter, yet Thomas feels the team's success next year depends on his recruiting efforts.

Thorn as felt his first year guiding the Deacons was a learning ex· perience. "A coach doesn't have to learn the basics. In order to ·be a good coach you need to know the athletes and their individual needs. I learned a good deal this year."

The Deacs finished the season at 24·14. "Overall, we had a good season, although injuries did make a difference," Chamblee said.
