Journalists cite television's influence on 1984 elections by Ted Bilich PoUiies Editor The printed media has been forced by politicians to take a back seat to television in influencing political campaigns, three North Carolina journalists said.

"Newspapers do not determine elections " Oppel said. "Television may a lot more to do with that." Doster added, "The print media is so important in making and breakmg candidates. They can go around us." As television-and the visi.biUty it affords-has become more important, they continued, the issues in campaigns have lost importance. "The longer I've covered politics, the less important the issues have become,'' Doster said. The newspapers still try to fulfill their commitment to illuminate the issues but, as Oppel explained, "the issues have simply been downplayed." In the modern campaigns, the journalists contend that papers maintain their ability to help set the agenda and supply background material. Oppel claims that newspapers afford a forum for debate. Cline said "In elections, newpapers serve to inform the public about the nature of the candidate-tbei.r experiences and backgrounds. We offer and encourage public knowledge of who they're voting for." Besides their analysis of the modern role of the print media, the journalists gave their thoughts on the U.S. Senatorial race between .incumbent Jesse Helms and North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt. They offered a number of reasons why the race was important for the state and for the nation. The national impact of the campaign, Cline explained, concerns Helms' position as the de facto leader of the New Right. "<Helms) has become the leader of the New Right, a position he is very willing to take advantage of," Cline said. "If Helms is knocked off, that leadership is out of the picture." Part of the of tile race is its effect on the Democratic party in North Carolina, Cline said. "Jim Hunt has changed the state Democratic party into a Jim Hurit election campaign. This is causing a lot of dissention and it is bound to cause more,'' he explained. Doster said another state issue is the image which North Carolina's senators project to the nation. Doster pointed out that North Carolinians should cringe when they hear of Helms tying up the Senate and standing on the losing side of 98·2 votes. "What Hunt should do is make an issue of who should represent North Caronna," Doster said. "I think leader- ship is the only thing Hunt has to win on. He has to get positive about that." All three journalists were critical of Hunt's campaign and agreed that Hunt has lost his early lead and is now trailing Heims. Looking at the North Carolina gubernatorial campaign. the journalists agreed that the race is a toss-up. They agreed that the race will probably be among four men-Democrats Eddie Knox, Lauch Faircloth, Rufus Edminston and Republican Jim Martin.

Journalists cite television's influence on 1984 elections

by Ted Bilich PoUiies Editor

The printed media has been forced by politicians to take a back seat to television in influencing political campaigns, three North Carolina journalists said.

The journalists-Joe Doster of the Winston-Salem Journal, Richard Oppel of the Charlotte Observer and Ned Cline of · the Greensboro Daily News-addressed the issue "State Politics: North Carolina Journalists on Election '84" in a panel discussion Saturday morning in DeTamble Auditorium. The panel was one of several held last weekend on campus by the North Carolina Political Science Association.

Public Safety warns of car vandalism by Ron Hart

SlaU S("\o\S Wrilf'r

The number of car vandalisms and break-ins on <:ampus has significantly increased this semester, but still remains below the number committed in neighboring areas of Winston-Salem, Wake Forest Public Saf~;ty director Alton Hill said re'cently.

Four people were arrested last week by Public Safety officers Randy Hobson and Micha~l Bottoms in connection with 33 incidents of vandalism which have taken place since March 1. This groups is also being questioned about crimes committed in Forsyth and Stokes Counties involving the spray painting of cars, resulting in thousands of dollar> of damage. Other arrests were made March 22 for similar crimes.

The crimes can be divided into two main groups: first,

the breaking and entering the car with intent to steal and second, malicious injury to property ( MIP), which includes the crimes committed by the four who were arrested last week.

The first group can be subdivided into two further groups, one which is very selective about its targets and one which is not. The selective groups hi.ts primarily BMWs, Mercedes, VW Rabbits and Audis. Stereo systems, particularly Blauplaukt and Alpiner stereos, are taken most frequently.

Hill said this group, which has not been apprehended yet, is "not to be taken lightly. They're young, but experienced. Most of these break-ins occur between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., so they can work in daylight, with people even standing around."

The criminals blend into the university crowd, making detection harder. They

Housing sign· up offers new ;'tlptions

by Scott Carpenter Staff Newo Writer

Men and women's housing sig~: up for next year was completed yesterday morning. Housing director Ed Cunnings said sign up went quite well, relative to the past years.

Another surprise to Cunnings was the fact. that relatively few upperclassmen applied for 12-man suites.

The housing office made a big effort tG publicize registration this year, with ideas such as putting room sign up •schedules underneath all freshmen doors.

Wayne builds Japanese sets by Hilary Drozdowski

Arts Edllcr

Last night the University Theater's production of "The Mikado" opened. It was a lavish production for which many hours were spent designmg and building sets. Mary Wayne, scene and costume designer, created the oriental ~cenery for the show and technical director John Christman designed the lighting.

WaYne tried to achieve a feeling of open space extending upwards as well as to both sides. She got the effect that she' wished to have by making a set with many levels and not a lot of visual crowding. The leveling also gives the feeling of · movement on the stage in a very small space.

The stage itself is designed by, Wayne to resemble a ·. miniature Japanese garden. She looked at many pictures of Japanese gardens before she began her designing. To the right of center stage she placed a small bridge. W;u'ne said that the Japanese use these bridges to symbolize water whether there is water beneath them or not.

Student art show opens

IJy Hllary Drozdowski · Arts Editor

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. the Wake Forest student art show will opeJl in tlie Scales Fine Arts Center gallery. The show was open to all students to enter. Most of the entries are from art students of variclUs levels .

The art comprises four areas: sculpture; painting; print making, both silkScreening and lithography; and paper works.

Tbe selection process consisted of a teacher in each particular area selecting pieces. Andrew W. Polk chose the · pper and print w9rks, along with the drawings to be exhibited. Deborah Fanelli selected the works in the area

of sculpture and Gary Cook chose the paintings to be seen in the show.

Cards announcing the art show were sent to people around the state. These invitations provide an excellent opportunity for some of the artists to be recognized by critics throughout North Carolina.

Around 20 participants will have 64 works shown. The range of the art work is from abstract to representative.

The artists hope that Wake Forest students and faculty will attend the showing. With the proper lighting, an art work's magic is better able to be communicated, and the students think that their works are not really complete until they are viewed and discussed.

The painting shows idyllic pagodas and mountains which seem to blend into a cloudy sky. The backdrop retains a high degree of neutrality so as not to overpower or clash with the costumes of the actors.

Wayne said her design for "The Mikado" is meant to have. the symbolism which the Japanese sought to have in their : various artistic endeavors. .

Since time and day are mentioned in so many contexts throughout the play, Christman opted for one basic lighting design. The effect of the lighting is to produce a bright, sunny stage. The sunny atmosphere is the proper setting for tbe comic aspect of "The Mikado."

The real losers Publishers from three of

North Carolina's largest newspapers got together Saturday morning to discuss the role of the media in the upcoming elections, especially the senatorial race.

They had some gloomy news for those of us in the print media, maifll.y that newspapers have been· replaced by television as the chief media outlet influencing elections.

In the past; a newspaper endorsement could make or break a candidate. Now, a newspaper endorsement is nice for the political resume, but a few minutes on the 6 p.m. news is a lot better.

The publishers said as a result of this trend from newspapers to television, the issues have been left behind.

That is indeed very evident in the current political advertising.

Television , news has often been accused of being more concerned with the appearance of the anchor and sets than with the quality of the broadcast. But, in the case of political advertisements, the candidates themselves are clearly to blame.

Appearance and personality show up on television; they do not in print. Candidates have

chosen to look good rather than address the issues.

Of course the candidates do pretend to examine the issues, by saying they are for defense, education and social security. We're sure thev are also for Mom and apple.pie-they need to put some substance behind those general claims.

As Walter Mondale would say, "Where's the beef?" or as Jesse· Helms would say, "Where do you stand, Jim?"

The major fault with television advertising is the amount of negative advertisements to date.

You have to listen and watch very closely to tell that the Helms for Senate ads on television are not really Jim Hunt ads.

Neither side has addressed the issues in their campaign ads but have only attacked their opponent.

By the time this campaign is over in November, it will have been one of the nastiest and costliest races in the state's history.

One of those men will, of course, lose in November. But the real losers in the senatorial race will be the people of North Carolina, who are being kept in the dark on the issues by the candidates.

• Brad Wixen's letter in the April 6

Old Gold and Black has prompted me to respond, specifically to his contention that the quality of education at Wake Forest is substandard. While I find his points regarding racism on the campus reasonable, I am somewhat shocked by the attitude he takes toward

·the academic situation he found here. First of all, why should higher grades at UCLA indicate to him that he is receiving a superior education there? My question to Mr. Wixen is: what do grades really mean to you? U your concern is with the acquisition of knowledge, the grade you receive would be your way of determining if you were learning what was taught to you - if you were "getting your money's worth.'' But this does not seem to be the case. Rather, Mr. Wixen seems to be of the opinion that his professors "give" him grades, which ~eflect on his w?rth as a person, Independently of h1s efforts or lack of effort in learning what was presented. I don't think there are any professors here who give only low grades to their students, so Mr. Wixen can't mean that everyone receives low grades at Wake Forest. What he must have meant is that he isn't willing to stay somewhere where he isn't getting what he came for, which must mean a high GPA, among other things. Since Wake Forest wouldn't give Mr. Wixen a perfect transcript in return for his money, he went to a university that would. This attitude upsets me, not only because I see it in Mr. Wixen's letter, but also because I see it in many of the students at Wake Forest. I truly wonder how many of us are here because we want to learn and . how many of us are here either because a degree means a higher

income or because we just can't pass up four idyllic years at our parent's expense before we have to make it on our own.

When I was a freslunan, Dean Mullen addressed my class in Wait Chapel on one of the first few days of school. I remember that he made a proposal: suppose that the university were to permit a student to buy his degree for the cost of an education here - you would pay the treasurer however many thousand dollars the whole four years 'would cost on your first day, and you would be given a degree completely indistinguishable from the ones given to those who chose to work for theirs. He wondered if we would take up the offer. A year later I had the chance to help with freshmen orientation and led a · discussion of the anthology we were all to have read. I repeated the Dean's proposal to these freshmen, but before I could finish, one of them blurted out, "I would!" quite without shame. How many other of us agree with tbat freshman, whether we are willing to admit to it or not? I can't quote any statistics, but it seems that students here miss quite a bit of their scheduled classes. I wonder if they would still miss class if they were paying for those classes personally, or if they knew that they would be able to make a certain amount more money after graduation if they knew the material covered in the classes they missed. Does anything motivate us other than money?

I don't claim to be immune from the attitude I am describing, but personally I think that I have received a fine education from my professors here, and only wish I could say I was equally impressed by my fellow students.

Faith and _·R-eason· of Wake .Fores-t . ... . . . . . '

As we celebrate Wake Forest's 150th birthday, let us pause to consider these words of Dr. Allen Bloom, professor of tbe Committee on Social Thought and the College at the University of Chicago.

"Students in our best universities do not believe in anything, and they are do­ing nothing about it, nor can they. The great questions-God, freedom, and im­mortality-hardly touch the young .... The heads of the young are stuffed with jargon derived from the despair of European thinkers, gaily repackaged for American comsump­tion and presented as the foundation for plurastic society.','

Certainly this is not the case at Wake Forest" we say! We have a Christian heritage." Yet what does that heritage mean? What does this university now do to encourage students to ask the great questions, and just as important, challenge them to seek Christian answers. Yes, there is a campus ministry and a few staff and students who look past the despair of modern secularism or the quest for A's and seek answers to life's meanig, often with the hope of encouraging others to do the same.

Sadly, however, this is not the norm. It seems our biggest questions are about intervistatation, Quad chains, or the proper graduate school. Sure, most of us have our deeper moments of sear­ching ourselves and God, yet such times are rather like a momentary calm in a storm after which we revert to our previous condition and carry on our lives without any central firm beliefs, save in the lack of there being any. Even Christian groups who claim personally to know the Truth too often concentrate on peripherial issues such as the proper meeting room rather

than the deeper questions of who is God, · and how would He have us. live and think? 0~ yes, a well planned weekly chapel

servtce and several Christian groups do challenge students to raise questions of God, justice and service. Yet how many faculty or administrators really support any of these either by their ex­~mple or th~ir words? Tbe number, so 1t seems, IS very few. Lest 1 be misunderstood, I am not judging anyone, but out of love striving to

. say the truth I see. ·Well then, is it in the classroom that

Wake challenges students to consider a Christian approach to life? But oh those great questions have no answe;,·the search itseH is the meaning, we say. Well, such thought is inconsistent both with the history or Wake Forest and of Christianity. .

Space allows me to mention but one example and this from the life of our own former president, William Louis Poteat. Often we make great mention of his stand for academic freedom when he taught evolution. We talk as if his Christianity did not influence his acade~cs. "Come t!) Wake Forest and you will be free to teach as you will " ~e say. "Our Christian heritage will n~t hinder your work." Yet all the while we usually fail to mention that Poteat's reasoning was not dichotomized from his faith as it is today. He strove to teach evolution from a Christian world view and was openly committed both in and out of class to knowing the God of the Bible and· spreading such faith. Poteat's faith influenced his thinking.

In how many of our classrooms to­day does a Christian and biblical prespective of that discipline affect its meaning and study? For example, how does a biblical view of history, as oppos­ed to a secular, man-centered one, af-

Thanks This week I, along with thirty-four

other high school teachers, attended the National Colloquium on the Constitution sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and tbe Tocqueville Forum. We have spent several ·days on your campus and I must express my thanks to so many of you students who took their time to give directions, lead us to various meeting rooms and to even stop and help when ! some of my materials were accidentally dropped one rainy evening as I was leaving Reynolda Hall.

You students have been most courteous. All too often college stuqents never are told that their kind ·and thoughtful actions are and!~ere appreciated. Please know that this, my first visit to Wake Forest, will be recalled with such good feelings due to the fine actions of your students to visitors on your lovely campus.

How not to manage Wake Forest The most disturbing aspect of the

recent decision to build a new dormitory is the way in which the decision was made. As far as one can tell, some one or group in the administration created and approved the project. No time was given for a reaction from the Wake Forest community. No blueprint of the dorm was made public. The faculty Institutional Planning Committee had no direct role to play in the decision. It seems that the committee did no more than rubber stamp a fait acompli.

An ideal university is an organic whole, in which all parts of the community interact to produce intellectual excellence. It is a unique institution for it does not serve any outside considerations, but justifies itself only through the pursuit of knowledge. Although Wake Forest must exist in an economic world, it does not have to oe run as a business. The goal of a university is not to make a profit, thus it should not be organized as

a business. Despite the special nature of Wake

Forest it seems clear that the board of trustees have taken a ''management-labor-consumer'' attitude whenever it makes any major

.decisions. The trustees make management decisions, which the faculty as employees must accept, and the students as consumers can choose to pay for. Such an approach destroys the goals of a university. The faculty and students do not exist in a collegiate free market. Intellectual investigation is one of the least economic activities

. known to man. That is why so few people are motivated to spend their lives pursuing the liberal arts.

The trustees need to shift their outlook and consider university Policy from an educational point of view, and

' not an economic. The university owes the alumni no more than a memory. Rather than kow-tow to the wishes of someone who writes an annual -cheek, the University must concern itsels with

the members of its community-those who live and work here.

There is no doubt that the trustees have the legal right to enact virtually . any policy they wish. However, legal rights are not the important issue in any substantial policy decision made at . Wake Forest. What matters is the ability of the University to achieve intellectual excellence. This goal is severly undermined by a seemingly arbitrary decision making process. As members of the community, the faculty and students need to have a real influence in )iolicy making. Student and faculty morale must be high for there to be any intellectual activity. The cynicism that develops from arbitrary decisions undermines the legitimacy of the University.

There are many questions about the new dorm that need to be answered. How will the increase in students affect the admission policy? If the administration wants to balance the male-female ratio. why not decrease

Letters to the Editor

the number of men on campus and simultaneously increase the number of women? This question is especially important because the Year 2000 study concluded that Wake Forest had an optimal number of students. How will the increase in students affect the faculty course load? Will the university increase the number of professors? What is the reaction of those living next to the dorm? Where will the students ! study? Are there enough tables in the Pit for them?

Someone anonymous in the administration may have answered these questions. Then again they may have been ignored. The silent process of considering the merits and costs o[ the dorm lead one to suspect that something is awry.

Wake Forest is filled with bright people who certainly will have something useful to say about a major decision. We should set an example for other institutions to follow and not decide things in the dead of night.

knowledge, whether it be in politics, business or anthropology. I myself have at times been as guilty as anyone in becoming too absorbed in my own studies, unaware of others and their concerns.

' , ..

I would like to express my disappointment and disgust at the fact that someone, or some committee, at Wake Forest would choose to invite Paul "Adolf" Volcker to lecture on campus, and worse, see fit to bestow upon him an honorary degree.

To those of us who value the republican ideal of vesting power in the hands of the many instead of the few, the individual rather than the commissar, Paul Volcker represents the enemy. Volcker has spent a lifetime fronting for powerful special interests who benefit from government's manipulation of and intervention into the economy, interests who seek an ever more cozy big business/big government partnership.

It is no accident that during Volcker's reign as Fed chairman we have witnessed the jerking about of so many "independent·· elements in society; the family farmer, the small businessman, the community banker, the local

. others, who are hyper-sensitive to the · smoke-filled room decisions of the central bank regarding interest rates

, and monetary policy. Once government gets .nvolved in economic planning and fine tuning, the big get bigger, the powerful get more powerful and the independent gets crushed, paving the way for more pervasive big business/government control.

As a candidate for Congress in 1980, I raised this same issue in my campaign, calling for abolition of the Fed and the dismissal of Paul Volcker. As an alumnus of Wake Forest < '76l I appeal to the Wake Forest community to show some courage and independence. It's imperative we resist the mentality Volcker represents, not kowtow to it.

Thomas Paul WaldpnfPis

Although I will not be graduating on May 21st like most of my other classmates with whom I began lile at Wake Forest (in late August of 1980; can you believe it? !l, I have recently been reminiscing and evaluating the many experiences that have occurred to me, and to others. whose college careers will soon come to an end. What will we really carry away from Wake Forest and spread to others who become involved in our lives?

Motivating and aiding students' pursuit of knowledge is certainly one of the university's primary objectives; I believe that I am in good and numerous company in saying that Wake Forest has successfully achieved this goal. Far too often, however, knowledge is pursued not to better understand the world and its peoples but rather to ensure the materialistic prosperity and grandiosity of one's <>wn personal life. IH:sLtaa o1 Lne Jove or numamty, personal ambition a1_1d greed become

This is not to belittle the quest for a successful and personally fulfilling career, nor one that is monetarily rewarding. I only wish to point oufthat these goals too frequently conceal what should be the aim of humanistic, liberal arts students: better communication with, and understanding of, all peoples.

How thankful I am that most professors at Wake Forest do sacrifice their own personal research and outside interests in order to be with and personally teach, even in.-i.ntroductory classes, interested stud~1~ who can only be inspired by this pers<mal touch.

I hoPE' that I, as well as all the graduating seniors, will be able to instill this attitude and feeling of human ~ ~oncern and understanding into the hves of all that come into contact with us.

One of Nicholson's most memorable tennis experiences was winning both his singles and doubles matches when North Carolina competed against William and Mary. His·wins were

"People played more for pleasure because there wasn't a professional circuit then. Tennis wasn't a business .. Why, today they play for more money in one match than most people make in a year-and you can see what it does to the game by noticing some of their attitudes.''

senior year, the team inade two trips to North Carolina.

. Nicholson's team ·took a trip north each spring break, competing against Virginia, West Point, Amherst, Williams, Yale, New York University and the U.S. Naval Academy .

"I always played the game for fun," Nicholson continued. "I never took it so r;enously that n mtertered with my studies. Tennis shouldn't be taken more seriously than academics, because when it's no longer fun the whole purpose of the game is defeated."

After advancing to the semi-finals in a week-long tour-. nament held at the University of NorthCarolina at Chapel Hill,

Nicholson decided he liked the campus so well that !'If I ever got the chance to go to college, I was determined that Chapel Hill was where I would· go." ,

"Now the tennis teams go south for spring break," Nicholson said. "They go to places like Hilton Head where it's warm. But I can remember playing at Amherst College with snow on the back of the court and three to folir feet deep alongside the road."

Nicholson's doubles partner, the late Don Skakles, was the tennis coach at North Carolina for many years, and Nicbolson himself ·coached Wake Forest's team for a year at the old campus.

Nicholson has worked for Wake Forest 26 years. His wife also works in the library as head of the cataloging department. They have a son in Nashville, Tennessee, who works for a sports television network ami a daughtP.r with Burn•tlghs Computer Company in Lewisville.

Conlributll>ll Wrller

The troop encampment of four eighteenth century American . and British regiments on Davis Field this past weekend: '!8Sf. not just a historical recreation of our past, It was Jivtllg history. For the visitor it was a reminder of a time when even the simple things in life like a meal were hard ~·.and. ideas like liberty were not abstract concepts, but prmctples . that one fought for, and as the troops' mock skirmish pointed out, oftentimes died for. ·

Soldiering WaS a complicated bu5iness even in the· days before tanks and ICBM's and the troop regiments represen· . ting the N.C. 2nd and sth line, the Guillord Militia and · Highlanders gave a thourough demonstration of the in· tricacies of revolutionary warfare and camp life.

The American forces were comprised of two types of soldiers: the Continental Army and the militia. The Continental Army was made up of paid recruits committ;e<f to serving for a specified period. They were our most prestigous and effective troops. ' · ·

The militia, which was the larger of the fighting forces, was something like today's National Guard. They were local civilian conscripts who served for an indefinite.period of need. Compulsory service in the militia was viewed as a form of bixation. . It was easy to se~rate the two troops, for the Continentals

were dressed in blliiL coats and white breeches, while the militiamen simply WOQ! the clothes on their back, which, at least in these parts, consisted of a rough hunting frock. ·

"That's why we didn't start winning until1781," Walsh said, . "five years after the war' began. By then.we had learned the enemy's tactics and could fight the war on our own terms·"

Actually the American forces got a little help from a man by the name of Baron Von Stuben, a Prussian, who showed Washington's troops how to drill in the proper European fashion.

The necessity of proper drilling became obvious when the American and British regiments demonstrated a mock skirmish. Skirmishes between a small number of troops were the rule, not the exception, in the Revolutionary War. Major battles, like Yorktown, were a rarity.

The ensuing fight looked. something like a chess game played out with live figures. Opposing troops' would stay in closed ranks so as to concentrate their fire, since a rifle at that time was only accurate from 50 to 70 yards. Walsh described the formation as sort of a human machine gun. The troops then traded thunderous salvos from their "Brown Bess" rifles as they slowly maneuvered into striking range.

. ·,..;;.,·.

The crowd got a kick out of watching the soldiers playfully drop dead, especially when some of the Highlander troops, who were wearing kilts, fell in rather revealing positions. In actuality, however, the battles were anything but humorous.

Discipline became crucial when one of the sides mounted a charge. The sight of an attacking soldier with a bayonet extending from a five foot long rifle must have been terrifying. According to records 80 percent of the injuries in the war were inflicted by the bayonet or other edged weapons.

The presence of filers, drummers and color bearers, which we tend to view as superficial ornaments of war· today, actually played a key role in these conflicts. On the battlefield,

. dei;artm~ni ;Wtieri ·he is not portraying a member of the 6th Regiment. He has been participating in reenactments since 1963. .

"I was a inember of the South Piedmont Civil War . roundtable, which met about once a month in Charlotte in the early 1960's," Hilder man recalled. "Several members of the reactivated 6th N.C. Regiment, which was then doing Civil War reenactments, were also members. I was 14 at the time aiid talked them into letting me in- the age limit was 16, but I sneaked in."

Why.does Hilderman leave the comforts of home to camp out about once a month and be shot at by redcoats? . "I've always been a history buff, even as a child," he explained. "I get a lot-of pleasure out of doing this, just in learning what the soldiers did and what they went through and how they lived. '

"It's a good teaching experience. A lot of what you read and see on television and in movies is not historically accurate."

One inaccuracy the troops try to clear up concerns the role of women during the war. Soldiers' wives actually traveled with the troops, especially in the south.

They could not be left at home, because they would more than likely be gone when the soldiers returned home. The women would bring their children also, so the camps often developed a community-like atmosphere.

Cindy Worley talked about her experiences playing one of these women while she made thread by spinning wool.

"I've always been interested in history and wanted something to do to get out and get involved, and this sounded like a lot of fun," Worley said. She has been involved for the past three years.

"Each one of us probably has a different reason for joining,' she explained. "I like the companionship and learning different things."

Like the other members of the group, she is concerned about how the American past is perceived. "I've learned a lot about history. Heel things like this (encampment) are dying out and people don't know a lot about our heritage and don't think about where things came from or what our ancestors did. They think color televison has always been here."

Worley, who is from Lenior, hopes the t.roop encampment clears up the role the south had during the war.

"When I was in school, I heard about all the things in the north, like Boston and Lexington, but I never heard about Cowpens or Red Springs."

The encampment so intrigued one Wake Forest student that ·be joined right up. Mac McKeller, a sophomore from Burlington, is now a member ofthe N.C. Scottish Highlanders.

I've been interested in stuff like this for a long time," McKeller, a history major, said. "This is the first time I've <!dually seen an encampment."

McKeller was learning drill formations from 1&-y~r-old Bert Puckett. Puckett is usually a drummer with the N.C. 2nd Regiment, but switched sides for this El!lcampment because be forgot his drum and the Highlanders were short of men.

His father, Herb Puckett, is commander of the 2nd Regiment and his sister plays the fife in the regiment, so it's a family activity.

"The encampment is a mobile museum, a living history presentation," Bert Puckett said. "It gives people a chance to talk to us and understand what really happened during the war and how the people lived."

Harry Taylor, president of the Highlanders, is a retired Episcopal priest from Southern Pines. "I've always been interested in history and this is a hobby," he said.

Has anyone ever told him that it is a little different from the average hobby? "Watching football is kind of stupid," is Taylor's quick response.

~~a~. comer of the camp close by a young. woman with deXterous fingers made com shuck dolls, each doll reflecting the personality of a friend in the camp. "I've been telling my liuaband <an officer in the regiment) he's getting too fat," she i@P8bed, "so I'm making this com shuck doll with an extra roll ~d its middle and maybe he'll take the hint." . •:~'Since there wasn't any store bought toys at the time," she

·ltilid, "children made these corn shuck dolls to play with-or if ~Y were lucky enough to hav~ a father with a knack for q'rving; they got nice handcarved wooden toys." · :r~inning with flaxen fibers took up a good portion of the wif~'s day, when she wasn't occupied with cooking, laundry or the. children. Wool, linen and Iinsey-woolsey were spun to create shirts, sheets and warm winter caps, among other tbings. Dyes from the cochineal bug, bluebells, mimosa, in!Jjgo .and Brazil wood added to the color and variety of materials.

'Weary by nightfall, candles were lit and the troops retired. ~rlsingly, five people slept in each of the small canvas tents, but the average height was only 5-4 in the lath century, so it was not quite as uncomfortable as we might imagine t¢ay.

Music review

Rodgers records first solo by Kenneth Koerner

Staff Music Critic

Anyone who gives the slightest pretense of being macho has got to love Paul Rodgers. The former vocalist of Free and Bad Com­pany has taken a journey into the realm of the solo artist with the recent release of his first solo LP "Cut Loose."

Rodgers is most noted for his vocal capabilities from his years with the rock groups Free and Bad Company. Rodgers' first major success came with Free, where he handled the position of vocalist in the late 1960's and early 1970's

The band's future looked promising until tragedy struck when guitarist Paul Kossoff died and the band fell apart.

Free's drummer, Simon Kitke, and Rodgers formed Bad Company, which became an instant success in both the United Kingdom and North America.

The band released its first album, "Bad Company," on Led Zeppelin's famous Swan Song label in 1974. Bad Company rolled along until1982, when Rodgers left the band to work on solo material.

"Cut Loose" is a masterpiece in rhythm and blues, and an outstanding solo album. Rodgers sings, plays all the instruments on the record and even produces ''Cut Loose."

Side one starts with a bang as "Fragile" really gets things moving. Rodgers places his single, also entitled "Cut Loose," in the se­cond slot.

Actually, it is unusual for any artist to place the first single from an album in anv position

but the first position. By placing his single in the second position, Rodgers poignantly il­lustrates the high quality of his other songs.

The whole record is so good that it does not matter where the single lies. "Cut Loose" is probably the most likable song on the record, though. It is very upbeat and catchy.

The lyrics of "Cut Loose" seem to suggest Rodgers' happiness in severing old ties and his determination to make a new life.

The three remaining songs on side one are more mellow, but highly inspirational. In "Live in Peace" Rodgers dreamily wonders why people cannot live in harmony. "Rising Sun" is a wonderful texture. Rodgers gives us hope by telling us that " ... no mountain is too high ... "

The second side .includes an array of ex­cellent songs. "Superstar Woman" and "Northwinds'' are especially brilliant because they epitomize the emotional guitar parts that Rodgers is capable of playing.

The vocals on the record are absolutely un­surpassed. as each song 1s perfectly rendered. [n fact. Hod Stewart, a famous British vocalist. has gone on record as stating that Rodgers is Great Britain's finest vocalist.

The instrumentation on "Cut Loose" is quite good. The drums are quietly uninven­tive, but very forceful. Guitar parts are played with oceans of emotion. and many songs have extra instruments that imaginatively round out the total sound.

One may only hope that th1s new beginning will bring more music from Rodgers.like that of "Cut Loose."

Current Library Exhibits Wake Forest's first decade is the theme of an exhibit now in the circulation hall of the z.

Smith Reynolds Library. The display shows aspects of student life in the 1830's and some of the personalities an early Wake Forest pupil would have known. The strenous days of the manual labor institute are recalled when a student had to arrive axe and hoe in hand. Work was balanced by leisure activities and entertainments-music, debating, fishing and marching to the sound of a drum and Dr. Wait's flute.

The biographical exhibits include those on Dr. and Mrs. Wait and their lovelv daughter, Ann Eliza; the courtly old Southern gentleman who as a boy of tweh·e was the fir~t student to register; and two early appointees to the faculty. Thomas Meredil h 1 for whom 1\'Ieredith College was named) and the mysterious John Armstrong, the most controversial figure of the time. ·

The exhibit honors Wake Forest's sesquicentennial and emphasizes the library's resources on the school's early history, especially the materials in the Baptist Historical Collection.

Movie Review I

Film highlights hidden talent Robert C. Wells Staff Movie Critic

One of the nicest surprises about movie going is seeing a film that has an unexpectedly memorable performance by an actor or actress who has a iot more talent than you ever gave them credit for. "Moscow on the Hudson" is just such a film.

Robin Williams turns in his usual crazed self for a refined, witty and often touching portrayal of a Russian circus musician who defects to the West in, of all places, Bloomingdale's. The film follows. Williams as he adjusts tolif~ America.

If this all sounds like a great vehicle ·for social satire, then you have already figured out what writer­director Paul Mazursky has in mind. Vladimir Ivanoff (Williams l, weary of standing in ·line for everything from food to toilet paper, decides to .. flee for freedom as he is· searching for Calvin Klein jeans. "I defect!" he announces to a black security guard (Cleavant Derricks> who, misunderstanding, orders him to use the men's.room.

Muzursky's ultimate satire is that everyone Williams encounters in New York is a foreigner, from· his Cuban lawyer to his Italian girlfriend. Even the security guard, who Williams .Jives with, describes himself as a "refugee from Alabama." Exasperated, Williams finally declares, "Everyone I meet in New York is from someplace else." In its own little way, the film reaDy is a salute to the melting pot of

: immigrants that come here looking for a better life.

Those who go to this film expecting "Mork from Minsk" should be forewarned. The manic Williams, who gave us the funniest television special of last year on HBO, is in quiet control of his confused, sad, homesick character in this film. Williams really must be reckoned with as a talented actor and if "Moscow on the Hudson" is any indication, he is fully capable of handling an even more serious role.

There are lots of roads for this film to travel and its one problem is that it tries them all. Mazursky simply packs

too much action into such a short span of Williams' life; the resUlt is that the film seems about twenty minutes too long. Nonetheless, "Moscow on the Hudson" is a light, pleasant movie that's easy to enjoy.

***** A brief word or two about Monday night's Academy Awards. As usual, the bookies picked the winners, though the winners were not necessarily the best performances or films.

"Terms of Endearment" won Best Picture, as everyone expected it to. "Terms" was an exceUerit lilm, but I still found "The Right Stuff" to be the year's best.

Shirley MacLaine and Robert Duvall wer.e best actress and actor for "Terms" and "Tender Mercies" respectively. Both were well-deserved awards · and MacLaine gets kudos for best acceptance speech of the evening when she described her scene in bed with Jack

Nicholson as "middle aged heaven." MacLaine, by the way, was one of those Hollywood "superstars" who had yet to win an Oscar.

Linda Hunt, who won best supporting actress for her role as the male dwarf Billy Kwan in "The Year of Living Dangerously" gave .the evening's most touching acceptance. She was gracious, well spoken and mercifully brief.

I noticed that the people thanked in acceptance speeches seem to fall into certain categories. Some winners thanked their families. Others thanked their co-workers. Still others thanked the generic "man

who got' me into the business." Practically t

everyone seemed to tharik George Lucas.

Finally, the best moment of the evening belonged to Johnny Carson. After the Academy gave Gene Kelly a special Oscar to replace the one lost when his home was destroyed by fire last year, Carson said, "I think it was very nice of the Academy to replace the Oscar Gene lost ln his home last year." Then, in reference to his current nasty divorce fight, carson added, "Perhaps the Academ·y would like to replace some things I lost in my home last year .... they could start with a i: knife and fork."

nrts """; .. ' Tennis coach ·retires

/'

by PaulSablston Sport& San Wrller

:·After 35 years of coaching competitive collegiate tennis, Jim Leighton, the men's tennis coach and director of tenniS at Wake Forest

'University, is retiring from the game ~ ·to which he had made significant con-

irlbutions. ·1 Leighton, originally from Lowell, ,1'!fassachusetts, compiled an ,impressive 1lj5-57 record at South . ·Carolina Presbyterian College and won :11 South Carolina tennis championships "during his 12 year career as head coach • cif the Blue Horses. , The former tn:~Jclent of ·the North c Carolina Tennis Fo~mdation elevated "his already prestigious career in 1962 . when he took the reins of the Wake :Forest tennis program. Since then he has compiled a phenomenal 417-214-2 .·record, been elected as ACC coach of the year in 1981 after his second place ~finish in the conference and now · · resides in the tennis eli~ as one of the 'five winningest coaches in collegiate · · tennis today. · . Wake Forest, now considered as .one .. of the many "tennis colleges" throughout the country, has only recently earned ·this reputation. Leighton said, "Wake Forest had a low level of tennis when I arrived but with the help of the special interest of director of athletics Gene Hooks, the . tennis program rapidlt claimed to its

high stapm. Not only has ... c,,5 u,•uu . been instrumental in

soliciting strong community support but he has also converted the program into a revenue sport \Vith the building to the indoor facility.

"We used to practice in the snow. at least once a year, but while in Atlanta I fell in love with the idea of playing on indoor courts," he said.

With the help of a close friend, Leighton organized the building of Wake Forest's original indoor courts, iocated at Tanglewood Co~mtry Club. Later he jlelped to subsidize the building of the four indoor courts located in the Athletic Center. The new tennis center makes Wake Forest one of only two ACC schools with a competitive indoor facility.

The 21 year teaching professional of Old Town Club makes little mention of his playing career but emphasiZes his perpetual role as student and teacher of the game. Learning his traditional teaching techniques from what he terms the "old school" Leighton never strongly incorporated weight training Or any other form of supplementary training outside of tennis itseH, into his daily ritual-like practice season. He sums it up with the cliche "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

The former teachi11g professor of the Charlestown W.Va. Tennis Club prefers the competitiveness of collegiate tennis as opposed to the unrewarding lessons given at the tennis resorts. Leighton says that he enjoys watching his players mature and progress during the relatively lengthy four year stay of the collegiate student. .

As author of the tennis text book

"Inside Tennis, •,• Leighton appreciates . the academic interest shown by the faculty and administration. He was practically flattered by the strong support offered by former Wake Forest President James Ralph Scales.

"I was able to introduce him to other · coaches, and that's something most

coaches can't boast," he said. Leighton spoke highly of Hooks, the athletic department and the entire administration; , ''They have always given the program 100 percent backing," he said .

Still working hard in preparation for this year's ACC tournament, ~ighton Is confident with the future prospects of Wake tennis. He thinks the present team, although it has .suffered from some poorly timed injuries, has yet to reach its potential. He specifically cites Marco Luciano, John Vinson and Fred Seely as providing the nucleus of Wake's bright future. ·

After establishing a so1md reputation for Wake Forest tennis, Leighton looks forward to ·continuing teaching throughout the ·Winston-Salem community. Leighton officially turns . the head coaching position over to Ian Crookendan on July 1 of this year.

Crookendan, former Davis Cup participant and UCLA standout, has the see~ingly impossible task of filling some extremely large shoes.

Your last chances to see Leighton ful· ly attired in his Panama hat with tobac­co pipe in mouth will be on April 4 against Maryland, April 16 against Fur· manaodAprilWagainstVUgbrlaCom­monwealth.

Men's basketball teamhoitored . ~ . .

by John Marton Slalf Sports Writer

r The Wake Forest basketball team was honored Wednes.,day afternoon for its great accomplishments this year. The ceremony, organized by the Alumni Council, College Union and

•. Student Governmentasssociations, was 'ghlighted by speeches from head

ch Carl Tacy and departing senior thony Teachey.

Coach Tacy summarized the season s a fun, action-packed experience. acy said the spirit and determination

t was showed throughout the season

was the primary reason for the team's 23 victories.

Tacy gave special thanks to the four departing seniors for their inspirational play that resulted in 86 victories in ti)e past four years. Tacy believes that this year's fine performance will give the Deacons a big lift as they seek their first national championship.

The backbone of this year's Deacon squad, Anthony Teachey, expressed his gratitude for the Deacon supporters: "The fans are the team behind the

team. 'l'hey deserve a lot of credit for . this year's success," Teachey said. "We had a special love for one another and a desire to win. We needed this badly in our win over DePaul. I will always be proud 'to have been a Deacon."

Wayne Corpening, Mayor of Winston­Salem, officially proclaimed Wednesday, April 11 as "Demon Deacon Basketball Day." In his short speech, he gave special thanks to the Wake Forest basketball program for its admirable representation of the Winston-Salem area.

'· Haddock, who has won 17 league championships including 13 in a 14-year period (1967-1980>, prefers to downplay his latest teaJV's success in looking ahead to the ACC tournament and a likely 18th consecutive NCAA appearance.

1 • ·· ' "This is not a time of domination in golf," Haddock states. "I liken it to college basketball, in that there are so

many outstanding teams out there that each will get its turri, especially when you are playing tournaments every week instead of head-to-head match play.

"The key for us this spring has been our maturity. Young people don't always mature with age, but this. group has."

The Deacons, who presently list three juniors and two sophomores in their first five, are paced by former PGA National Junior Champion Billy Andrade. The Bristol; RI, sophomore has won both the Iron Duke and Palmetto events and carries a 71.4 stroke average this spring.

Chris Kite, another sophomore from Hiddenite, NC, has also played well and owns a 71.5 average in five spring tourneys.

"Billy Andrade is a more consistent player this year," Haddock says. "He's a real fighter with a tremendous short game.

"This past weekend, he hit only two greens on the last nine holes, yet still shot even par. That was a key to our team's victory.

"Chris Kite has played magnificently since returning to the lineup. He has grown-both P'hysically and mentally-as much as any goUer that I've had at Wake Forest.''

Other key performers this spring for the Deacs have been Mark Thaxton

(Jr., Burlington, NCJ, Jerry Haas <Jr., Belleville, IL) and Mike Barrow (Jr., Kernersville, NC>. Thaxton carries .a 72.7 average folowed closely by Haas at 73.4 and Barrow at 74.9.

"I have to say, that I did expect this team to do well this year," Haddock admits, "but then I also expected to do better than we did last year.

"At Wake Forest, we go into a tournament expecting to win. We want to finish well nnd make a good showing, too, but we are there to win-and when we don't, we are disappointed."

The next date on the Wake Forest schedule is the Tar Heel Invitational this weekend in Chapel Hill, the team's final tune-up for the ACCs on Apri120-22 at Pinehurst. ·

The Deacons placed fifth in the conference showdown last year-their lowest finish ever-but Haddock says this year's tourney will be approached no differently.

''Our goal as a team is to play each tournament as we reach it. The one we are competing in at that time is the most Important one of the year. We don't think ahead or look behind."

With the success that his curreJl$ team has enjoyed, however, Haddock cowd hardly be faulted for looking behind him with a little renewed satisfaction, and gazing to the future with thoughts of ACC and national recognition very much in sight.

PAGE NINE Frldav, April 13, 1984 OLD GOLD AND BLACK

After 22 years at Woke Forest, men's tennis coach Jim Leighton will retire this July.

Olympic Trials Wake Forest's Anthony T!!llchey will

be running in a rather fast {and tall and talented) crowd next week.

The Demon Deacon senior will be facing the task of playing a new position as well when he joins more than 70 of the nation's top amateur basketball players in Bloomington, IN, for the 1984 U.S. Olympic Trials, beginning April 16.

I'm certainly happy to be invited to the trials and proud to be there to represent Wake Forest," Teachey said, "but I'm going out there with every intention of earning a spot on the team."

"In the past, they have kept more forwards than other positions, so that may work in my favor. U I do make the final team, that would be the greatest thrill of my career as a basketball player," he said.

The top rebounder and shot-blocker in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and a second-team all-league pick this past season as a center, Teachey must demonstrate to Olympic head coach Bob Knight that he can play a power forward role.

"My flexibility shouid benefit me," . the Goldsboro, NC, native said. "I have played the center position at Wake Forest, but feel that my abilities to run the fl~r. pass the ball and shoot from the perimeter are more like a forward's."

Teachey averaged 13.1 points and 10.0 rebounds per game for the 23·9 Deacons this past season. He concluded his Wake Forest career as the top shot­blocker and No. 4 rebounder_ in school history.

Freshmen break school records

by Tim Gerber Sla£( Sports Writer

Despite holding three leads in the game, the Demon Deacon baseball squad lost a heart-breaker to Virginia 6-4 on Sunday. The Deacons led 2-{), 3-{) and 4-3 before a breakdown in the Wake pitching game allowed the Wahoos to get back on top for the win.

The game was well in hand 1mtil Hanson was

the with an ailing shoulder. Until his departwe, Hanson had pitched a solid 5% innings, recording nine strikeouts.

The loss dropped the Deacon record to 17·19 !1·9 ACCJ.

The Deacons have lacked production at the plate this year. In ACC contests, the Deacons have been outscored 101-38. Saturday, the Deacons suffered their first shutout in four years, going down 4.0 at the hands of Maryla.1d.

The Deacon program continues to be riddled by having talent in only select positions. Senior second baseman Kevin Bunn needs only one home run to tie former Deacon Brick Smith's ACC career home run mark of 47. First baseman Brian Greif has, also, had an outstanding year, batting .404.

Wake's games against both UNC­Wilmington and Wingate College were rained out this week. The Deacons play Clemson tomorrow at 2 p.m. on the Tigers' home field.

With fine performance by both the men and women, the Wake Forest track team had another excellent weekend. This past week the team ran at the Duke-Carolina Weekend held at Wallace Wade Stadium at Duke University.

Freshman Maria Merritt broke her own school record in the 400 mts. for the third time this year as she ran a 59.9. Fellow freshman Karen Dunn became Wake's first national qualifier this year as she ran a 10:09 3000 meters to-place 4th and make it to the Division II Nat.ionals held May 22 .. 26 at Cape Gireaedeax, MO. Her time also puts her 3rd on the ·all time Wake list. Senior Diane Swick placed 4th in the 5000 with a time of 18:17.7.

The men had fine performances all around, lead by the exciting first place finish of the 4 x 800 relay. Sophomore Lane Wurster lead off with a personal best of 1:53.0 and handed off to freshman Chris Ingalls who matched Wurster's time. Freshman Brian Ponder ran a 1:55 third leg and handed off in a close second to classmate Jens Ostengaard. Ostengaard waited until the final 100 meters to pass the runner from Seton Hall for the Deacon win in a time of 7:36.5.

Also running well for the young Deacons was freshman Steve Kartalia who placed 3rd in the 5000 with a time of 14:30.2. The time puts him no. 4 at Wake. Thomas Sorenson, also a freshman, placed 4th in the 1500 with a

Can Georgetown repeat

its performance in '85? John Thompson has finally got the

monkey off his back. Georgetown can forget about the past, think about what is instead of what might have been, and savor their moment atop college basketball's Space Needle in Seattle.

Thompson has put together the greatest collection of talent since Coach Wooden at UCLA, and he deserves the real most valuable player awa·rd. There's never any doubt in a coach's resume once he picks up the NCAA championship watch.

Thompson's team is extremely well disciplined. Each person knows his role, and the players have compassion and awareness of each other, which finally has brought the true concept of family into sports.

Patrick Ewing will lead the Hoyas to the Final Four in Lexington, Ky. in 1985. The only thing that can stop them is the measles.

Remember, a team that knows the press will eventually get to you. The Hoyas go full, three quarter, or half court with the pressure defense.

They play to any tempo, be it Guy Lombardo or Quiet Riot. Foul troubles does not bother them because they have a full blown rotation of 10 players, a revolving door of high school All­Americans.

As Houston found out, Georgetown is as devastating off the boards, especially the offensive boards. This team has seven high school all· Americans, and they showed they're quality by winning 11 straight down the stretch and bringing home the bacon for the first time to the Big East

kitchen . The third time aro1md was no charm

for Guy Lewis. His squad could not match the quickness and the multiple substitutions of Georgetown. He got four star performance from Alvin Franklin and Michael Young, but it was over for the Cougars when Akeem Dream had to play tentatively after picking up his fourth foul one minute in­to the second half.

Still, Lewis has proven, again and again, that he deserves to be a future Hall of Farner by taking his team to the Final Four the last three years.

You can bet that the Cougars will be humming next season, especially since Olajuwon says he's going to stay around another year.

The Cougars have come in second again, and I genuinely believe they are the second best team in the country. I know they've got their heads down a bit right now, but they should keep it in perspective and remember there are 274 teams behind them.

Houston was hot out of the gate, but Georgetown kept them out there and went on to dominate. They shook off the inside, and effectively boxed out off the defensive boards, which did not allow the Cougars any put-backs.

Some of the deciding factors in any game are normally rebouding, turnovers and put-backs. If you do these three thngs, you're tough to beat. The Hoyas did all three, and I believe put a new style of substitution into the college g .. me while they were at it.

One of Houston's big problems was that the Cougars missE'd a number of

time of 3:52.5, which is his personal best.

The distance medley placed fourth behind the running of freshman Tom Wirth (1:56.4 · 800 mts.), Tad DiBiase (51.8- 400), and John Ormond (3:12 · 1200). Junior Robby Raisbeck anchored in 4:18 for the 1600 leg for a total time of 10:21.

The 4 x 400 relay of Wurster (52.1), Ingalls (50.8), Ponder (52.2), and DiBiase (51.1) ran their best time of the

· ye'a~·at3:26.2. On Saturday'the4.x lSoo team of Wirth (4:03), Ormond (4:10), Raisbeck (4:00), and freshman Jon Harris ( 4: 12) placed 5th with a time of 16:26.

Today and tomorrow the team travels to Tennessee to participate in the Dogwood Relays. The following weekend is the ACC meet, which is the team's most important meet of the year. Coach Ramsey Thomas is hoping to score points in the 5000 and 10,000, as well as the 800 and possibly the 1500 for the men.

For the women, points could be scored in the 3000 as well as the 10,000 and the 400. Both the men's and women's 4 x 400 have chances to score. As the team has no one in the field events or the sprints and hurdles, the Deacons will be far off the pace in team scoring but hope to edge out Duke for 7th place in the eight team conference.

one on ones in the first half. It's one weakness a cha'mpionship team cannot have. You've got to hit from the charity line, take advantage of all gifts when battling on center stage.

Two other things: I feel Akeem played too tentatively and Georgetown came right at him, trying to create the fifth foul. He played soft, and gave Georgetown five revenge dumps.

Once Georgetown got the lead, they spread out Houstol)'s zone. Houston tried a one-three-one half court trap, but the Hoyas didn't fall into it.

Second, I think a big thing that hurt Houston was Franklin's injury when they started to make their surge. That allowed Georgetown to put the last nail in the coffin and by the time Franklin got back in, it was taps.

We must not forget Michael Graham · he will live in the shadow of Patrick Ewing for one more year, then he will be a battleship in his own right. For now he must be content to be a part of one 'or the greatest defensive arsenals ever seen between the paint. This was not fluke, the Hoyas will be heard from again .
