The News and Observer from Raleigh, North Carolina • 15

15A The News and Observer, Raleigh, N.C., September 14, 1985 17A UNC professor gets good return on 'investment' Jay Rosenberg of Chapel Hill made a good investment in July. He sank $600, not into a money market account, not into CocaCola stock, but into an airplane ticket to Hollywood. Rosenberg, Passing chairman of the scene philosophy department at the University of North Carolina, came back with $15,000. Or maybe more. He's not telling how much he won on the syndicated game show "Jeopardy." Friends and family gathered at Rosenberg's home Friday night when the taped show was aired on WTVD, Channel 11.

No one knew that he would win $15,000 on that show. Now folks are eagerly awaiting 7 p.m. Monday to see Rosenberg play as returning champion. He's not saying how many more nights he'll be on or what the grand total will be. The professor auditioned for "Jeopardy" when representatives from the show were in the Triangle in May.

He passed a written test, then played practice rounds. Finally, he was told he had passed and would be put into the contestant pool. Four other Triangle residents also have appeared recently or will appear on "Jeopardy" soon. Representatives from the show told Rosenberg and WTVD associate producer Rebecca Brassard that they had found more prospective contestants in the Triangle than anywhere else in the nation. Susan Blum, formerly of Durham, now of Connecticut, played on Monday's show.

Czerni Brasuell of Durham will appear Sept. 23, and Jeff Carnes, formerly of Chapel Hill, now of Boston, will appear Oct. 11. Steve Hersch of Chapel Hill will appear Oct. 28.

Rosenberg said the toughest question answered (or more accurately, answer he questioned) was in the category "France." (In Jeopardy, contestants are given the answer and must come up with the question.) The answer was: Hailed as a hero at the end of the first World War, he was reviled as a traitor at the end of the second. The question: Who was Marshal Henri Philippe Petain? And never once did the "Philosophy" category come up.

During an afternoon meeting of the Art Society board of directors, former Art Society president Nancy Lilly of Raleigh said the Art Society should never tell the museum director how to spend the Phifer Fund on art purchases. But Lee, the current president, said the Art Society would never relinquish the power to withhold the money if it didn't like the art the director wanted to buy. Lee said his presidency of the Art Society follows a period in which the group played a less active role.

For the past few years, Lee said, the Art Society either deferred to Bowron or was stymied because there was too much friction between the museum's staff and the Art Society staff. ing for its annual dinner for members and new members. About 230 members and guests attended the festivities honoring 48 new members. After dinner, Carolina Spirit, Broughton High School's show choir, directed by Kraig McBroom, entertained.

64 years and going The Raleigh Civitan Club cele-' brated its 64th birthday Thursday, but it isn't thinking about retirement any time soon. The club, which is the third oldest in the state and the fi fifth largest in the world, celebrated with cake and speeches at Balentines Cafeteria. After taking some time to acknowledge new members, club members talked about the history of the Raleigh Civitans. About 90 of the 144 members attended. After lunch, Dr.

Nell Barnes of Learning Together spoke about educational programs that bring mentally handicapped children together with children who have other handicaps or no handicaps. The Civitans decided not to cut their birthday cake. Instead, they delivered it to the staff of Hilltop Home for retarded children, which they help support. Among those attending were James A. Davidson, the cl club's oldest member, and Ruben Whitfield, who has the best attendance record (39 years without missing a meetwere president president -elect Al president Dayle second vice presi- Not so somber Davidson ing).

Others there Joe Pleasants, Proctor, first vice Flammia and dent Ray Vawter. Lorrie Carey expected to find a gray, somber environment when she visited the Soviet Union Aug. 14-29. Instead, she said, she found clean cities and friendly people. Ms.

Carey, 22, traveled with 81 other Americans on the National Council of Churches goodwill tour of the U.S.S.R. She met with government officials, church officials and Soviet citizens. In Minsk, she and her fellow travelers batted about issues of human rights, American involvement in Central America, the Soviet downing of a Korean jetliner and Star Wars defense with government officials. Ms. Carey, a Raleigh native who is working on her master's degree in public affairs at the University of North Carlina at Greensboro, heard about the trip through Presbyterian Campus Ministry at UNC-G.

She said three other North Carolinians on the trip were Bob Owens and Joseph and Carlisle Harvard, all of Durham. IN PERSON!

By the time Merle Haggard's FarmAid train chugs half way across the continent from California to Illinois, the captive cast of country music stars will have shed a lot of tears and written a lot of songs. That's the storied prediction of Haggard, who organized the weeklong, whistle stop trip leaving Monday from Bakersfield, and arriving in Champaign, Sept.

22 for a mammoth concert on behalf of the family farmer. Haggard's train, which he is leasing at cost from AMTRAK, will boast a Who's Who of country stars by the time it wanders from the West Coast to the Midwest. He said the number of cars will depend on the response. Haggard has received commitments from Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. to ride the train.

Other concert stars will be boarding in Springfield, Mo. Haggard promised the train trip would be a memorable one with up to 250 celebrities aboard. "It's going to be enjoyable," he said. "The entertainment is going to be continuous. Both lounge cars will be going all the time.

It's going to be one of the most fun things that ever happened. We'll be locked in there together like a ship or a boat trip. "The topic of discussion will be Merle Haggard: a lot of tears, a lot of songs, a lot of ideas Treger's virtuosity tames Prokofiev concerto Violin soloist Charles Treger returned to Raleigh Thursday night to help the North Carolina Symphony open its 1985-86 classical series in Memorial Auditorium. Treger's playing in the virtuosic second movement scherzo of Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1 in Major, Op.

19 was consistently magnificent through some of the most difficult music ever composed for the instrument. Music review Treger, who also performed with the symphony in May '84, is the only American ever to win the Wieniawski International Violin Competition in Poland. He won Endowed chairs for 10 and purses for the women The North Carolina Symphony started its classical concert season in Raleigh Thursday night with some new additions 10 endowed musicians' chairs and new black evening bags for its female players. The symphony program listed the new endowments, which are contributions given to support a particular position in the orchestra. Six chairs were endowed in the names of individuals, and four others were endowed by donors who wished to remain anonymous.

The endowments are worth a worth $1,150,000. The endowed chairs and donors are: the Annabelle Lundy Fetterman Concertmaster Chair, given by her husband, Lewis Fetterman of Clinton; the Martha and Peyton Woodson Principal Double Bass Chair, established by Mr. and Mrs. R. Peyton Woodson III of Raleigh; the George Smedes Poyner Principal Trumpet Chair, given by his family in Raleigh; the Mary T.

McCurdy Principal French Horn Chair, established by her son, Daniel P. McCurdy of Durham; the Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Walker III Principal Clarinet Chair, established by J. Christopher and Janet S.

Walker of Cary; the Mr. and Mrs. George M. Stephens Principal Flute Chair, established by Karin and George Stephens of Raleigh. (The Woodson endowment was announced at the end of last season.) Anonymous donors have endowed the principal timpani, principal percussion, principal tuba and principal cello chairs in the orchestra.

Those who attended Thursday night's concert at Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh also may have noticed several matching black evening purses under the chairs of the female orchestra members. Twenty-five of the cloth purses were donated by Ivey's department store in Raleigh. The symphony sought the donation "to improve the appearance of the stage" during performances, said Dixie O'Connor, who does public relations for the orchestra. "We want to look good as well as sound good," Ms. O'Connor said.

The sight of several different kinds of handbags hung on the backs of chairs or placed on the floor apparently struck a wrong note with some audience members. A set of small lockers was installed at Memorial Auditorium this year for orchestra members' valuables. Lockers aren't available for performances in other towns, however, and female members often keep their purses with them onstage during performances to ensure their safety. 2 'The Corner LOCATION.

The Reagan administration permitted Haggard to rent the train from the government-owned AMTRAK system at cost, but has been opposed to the majority of assistance farmers are seeking.

Reagan, a personal friend of Haggard, has sought to cut government price support payments for a variety of farm products, saying farmers must rely more heavily on market demand and regulate production accordingly. Haggard said more than 70,000 tickets have been sold for the FarmAid concert. Promoters hope to raise between $30 million and $50 million. Haggard, whose conservative views have been expressed by such songs as "Okie From Muskogee," and "'Fightin' Side of Me," said the train trip was to draw media attention to the family farm. The entertainer, whose parents were farmers, said the FarmAid crusade is very simple to explain.

"Bread and butter is essential," he said. "We can't concoct a computer that will spit out bread for us. Bread will go to $5 a loaf that is what will happen if corporate farmers take over completely." Weddle, whose doleful solo provided a highlight. Treger, Zimmermann, and the orchestra teamed beautifully in the Prokofiev to display poignant lyricism in the first and third movements and brilliant virtuosity in the high-spirited scherzo. Emily Controulis' flute solo in the second movement was excellent.

The concert concluded with Brahms' monumental Symphony No. 1 in Minor, Op. 68. In the first movement, Zimmermann brought forth from the orchestra the pent-up power and fury of a great composer who waited until age 43 to complete his first symphony. The strings and woodwinds conveyed the depth of Brahms' lyricism in the second movement, and there was lovely playing by clarinetist Jimmy Gilmore, conand Paul Gorski Weddle.

Zimmermann had the orchestra perform the third and fourth movements virtually without interruption. The pizzicato crescendo was good, and there was admirable balance between the strings and the brass throughout the finale. ALAN J.

Before the musical program began, symphony board chairman R.

Peyton Woodson III jubilantly announced the permanent endowment of chairs for nine principal players of the orchestra added to one endowment made at the end of last season. As he stepped to the podium, music director Gerhardt Zimmermann reminded the near-capacity audience that the orchestra has plenty of chairs left to endow. Zimmermann then opened the concert with Charles Ives' littleknown "Overture and March: 1776." He likened the piece to hearing the blended sonorities of three bands marching by in a parade. The analogy is apt, for this brief piece is rich in dissonance, polytonality and rapid tempo changes. It also illustrates one of Ives' favorite compositional techniques the quotation and transposition of several traditional and patriotic themes.

The orchestra performed admirably, particularly oboist Ronald ar ge re the with interruption. the.
