The Sound of Christmas Christmas is a lot of things, but most of all it ' s music. The week of music was provided by the WPC music faculty and students. The week started with the Annual Winter Cho- ral Concert on December 14 in Shea Auditorium. The Brass Ensemble began tne show with three pieces of seasonal music written by Pual Duhas, Henry Purcell. and Richer Tuli. The Ensemble was directed by Dorothy Heier. The audience of 350 thor- oughly enjoyed the Concert Choir ' s performance. Julis Anderson con- ducted the Choir in the Gloris ' by Antonio Vivaldi; Glory to God In The Highest by Randall Tompson; Motels For The Season of Christ- mas by Francis Poulenc: and Fan- tasia On Christmas Carols by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The Choir was accompanied by Deborah Holden, and Jan Opalach appeared as a guest soloist. The second part of the concert was held on Tuesday night with the Trom- bone Ensemble performing Three Equali by Beethoven; Quartet for Trombones by Pierre Max Dubois; and Canzona for Eight Trombones by Walter Hartley. The Women ' s Choral Ensemble next took the stage. Their conductor, Julis Anderson had some trouble with her music stand. but after a replacement was sent in, the performance of A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten contin- ued. The audience politely applauded as the WPC Concert Band finished their selections of sea- sonal pieces finishing with John Philip Sousa ' s The Fairest of the Fair. Music flowed from Shea again the next day as seniors Patricia Amore. Robert Savion, and Beverly Teitsma gave their recitals. Patricia per- formed with emotion, grace, and flexibility. Her best piece was Con- certo in F Minor for Piano and Orchestra by Bach, Beverly showed her finest with a flute In front of the audience of 450. Guitarist Bob showed enthusiasm in every piece he performed. After the recital coffee and refreshments were served to honor the musicians. Thursday the Midday Artist Series presented faculty member Gary Kirkpatrick, pianist. He performed a piece by Brahms; Sonata for Piano by James Wintle; and Franz Liszt ' s Mephlsto Waltz. The 400 people in the audience sat transfixed through each piece as the moods he created melted and changed to another mood. The crowd cheered his per- formances and demanded an encore, which they got. The third and final part of the Winter Concert was presented on December 18th In Shea. Nan Guptlll conducted the Chamber Singers m a 30 minute program of French and English Christmas songs. The Brass Quartet led by Dorothy Heier per- formed Gabrleli ' s Canzona per Sonare No. 2 and Four Preludes For Brass Quartet by Zupho. The Men ' s Glee Club performed 25 min- utes of Christmas Carols with Con- ductor Julia Anderson. Finally the College Chorus led by Jane Welden- saul performed three classical Christ- mas songs for the audience of I 50. Seniors Nadlne Hochran and Rich- prd Radcliff had their recitals on the Saturday before Christmas. The two pianists performed beautifully but the snow falling outside cut down on the audience. The music ended, but the sound hung In the air; It always does at Christmas time. M)

Everyone In the ballroom was decked out in class, and ready for a night of entertainment. The first Semi-formal Dinner, Dance and Show. The activity, jointly sponsored by the SAPB, OLAS, and BSU. the Housing Department, and the Dorm Association: provided a wide variety of entertainment for two hundred people who showed up for the event. The night started with disco dancing and music played by the Friends of Finess. The rock band Hair took over laying down a heavy metal beat. then into the softer folk sounds with Lisa and John ' just for some con- trast. Then to finish the night US performed a few gospel selections, and comedian Tom Jones left the crowd laughing. The climax of the evening saw the crowning of the best dressed male and female. The event proved to be a huge success, Sharon Gatbin and Norman Willis took the titles. Who said the dorms were dor- mant! Political activist, Angela Davis, came to Shea Auditorium on Decem- ber 18. Sponsored by the Student Mobilization Committee and the SGA. Davis was touring the nation ' s college campuses in an effort to raise money for the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repres- sion. Dressed in a black turtleneck shirt, mesh sweater and jeans, Davis came out on stage to the polite applause of 700 interested students and faculty members. Davis casti- gated the capitalist structure in the U.S., citing ' racism, reaction, and the ruling class, as the core of the problem. The thirty-two year old pro- fessor maintained that the only way to fight the ' oppressive action, being administered by the govern- ment, is to unite in a mass struggle. She also called for the freeing of political prisoners. and said that. Our weapon is unity. Reflecting back on her years in college Davis recalled, When I was in school, the reason I made it as far as I did was for the sacrifices and struggles of my people. What ever knowledge I was able to achieve belonged and still belongs to my people, not just me. 59
