Senate Requests Help
With Polling
By TIM MARONEY
M . n wrlitr
On Tuesday, November 10, the
Senate of UNC-G Student Gover-nment
met in regular session.
Initially, there was some concern
that an insufficient number ol
senators would attend to make a
quorum of 28, 60 per cent ol the
total of 47 senators. However, exac-tly
28 attended. A motion by De
Best of Guilford that quorum be
reduced to 50 per cent was passed
because several members had to
leave early.
Rusty Weadon, SG Vice-president,
announced that help was
needed with polling for the SG
Presidential elections Tuesday and
Wednesday. November 17 and 18,
and the runoffs November 23 and
24. Any interested student should
come by (he SG Offices on EUC's
third floor or contact Judy Huf-fman.
Weadon pointed oul (hat the
lack of personnel "was why we had
so many runoffs last time....We'd
like to keep thai from happening
again." The grounds on which
Brian Berkeley and David Miller
received several repeal runoils were
that polling places had not been
kept open (he lull posted time.

that a total of 780 subscriptions had
been sold.
Richard Roper asked lot help on
(he Legislative Commiuee's project
of rewriting SG's Constiiuiion and
By-Laws.
The meeting took only 22 minutes
from the Call lo Order to the
motion for adjournment. Jill Hub-bard,

called (his "a record."
Hamer Resigns After Seven Years Service
George W. Hamer of Green-sboro,
who has served as execiuive
director of Chinqua-Penn Plan-tation
House since he retired seven
years ago, says he is now ready to
try retirement without (he respon-sibilities
ol a job.
With that in mind, he has submit-ted
his resignation, effective (his
Dec. 31, as executive director ol
Chinqua-Penn Plantation House,
located near Reidsville. to UNC-G
Chancellor William E. Moran.
Earlier, in November of 1974,
Hamer retired as vice chancellor lor
development at UNC-G after 12
years a( (hat position. During that
same period, Hamer had ad-ministrative
responsibility for
Chinqua-Penn. Hamer, a native of
McColl, S.C., was associated with
Cone Mills Corporation, first as
assistant director ol personnel, and
(hen as director ol personnel ad-ministration
from 1947 to 1962. He
is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill.
The 27-room plantation house
was given to (he consolidated
Columbia Scheduled To
Lift Off This Morning
The power units that caused last
week's mission-delaying problems
lor the space shuttle Columbia have
been cleaned, filled with fresh oil
and Titled with new filters. Their
tanks have also been refilled with
hydrazine fuel.
The launching, originally
scheduled last Wednesday morning,
was called off 31 seconds before la I -
toff when a combination ol
problems arose. Pressures in liquid
oxygen tanks fell slighlly below ac-ceptable
levels, and before laun-ching
controllers could instruct the
control computers (o ignore (he
problem and proceed with the coun-tdown,
the computers hailed all
operations. The tanks supply
oxygen for the electricity-producing
luel cells and for the spaceship's
life-support system.
While (he countdown was halted
for the oxygen problem, flight
engineers a( Mission Control in
Houston grew worried over the
rising pressures in the lubrication oil
for two ol the three auxiliary power
units in the aft section of (he
Columbia.
Although the problem turned out
to be easily corrected, managers of
the project were discouraged by its
implications. The shuttles are
designed to be flown over and over
again, for up to 100 times, with only
minimum ground maintenance. The
managers had hoped that it would
not be necessary to inspect and
change the oil after each mission. It
took seven months to prepare the
Columbia for its second flight, the
lirst one occuring last April, but
engineers expected eventually to
trim (he turnaround times to about
one month.
The eight-day postponement in
the second launching is no( expected
to change any of (he mission goals.

The only concern now was (he

University of North Carolina in
1959, and UNC-G has had the
responsibility for the house and
immediate grounds.
Since 1966, Chinqua-Penn has
been open to the public u a tourist
attraction, and Hamer has had con-tinuing
responsibility for its oper-ation
throughout the past 15-year
period.
During (hat time, he said more
than 417,000 people have visited
Chinqua-Penn.
"Already this year, we have had
people from all 50 states visit
Chinqua-Penn," Hamer said recen-tly.
"Last year, we also had visitors
from 26 foreign countries. Chinqua-
Penn is now well known and getting
better known all of the time. Lots of
groups are visiting it."
Chinqua-Penn was built in 1925
by the late Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson
Penn. As a tourist attraction, it is
open to the public Wednesdays
through Saturdays from 10 a.m. (o
4 p.m. and Sundays from 1:30 p.m.
to 4:30 p.m.
In addition to Chinqua-Penn's
value as a tourist attraction, Hamer
pointed oul that it also is beneficial
to educational institutions. "We've
had classes from Duke University,
Wake Forest University, N.C. Stale
University, Elon College and several
community colleges, as well as from
UNC-G, visit Chinqua-Penn as part
of their studies," he reported.
"Elementary and secondary
George Hairier
public school groups also have had
educational assignments (ied in with
group visits lo Chinqua-Penn," he
added.
Hamer noled lhat Chinqua-Penn
contains a valuable collection ol
oriental art objects collected by Mr.
and Mrs. Penn through (he years in
(heir travels ihroughoui (he world.
"Architecturally, it is a well-planned
house and is well construc-ted,"
he added. "It is buili in the
shape of a Y. It sils on a hill and
was designed to take advantage ol
cross surrenls of air since (here was
no air-conditioning back more than
50 years ago when ii was buili."
Hamer added (hat the old man-sion
was built of stone quarried on
(he plantation land and ot oak logs
also cut on the land.
In talking with Hamer, ii is clear
that he feels an afleciion lor
Chinqua-Penn. "It's really a very
unique, beautiful place." he slated.
"I don't Ihink you will find a place
in this part ol the country thai has
the character and beauty that
Chinqua-Penn has. It was buili with
great care and love by the Penns."
"The stale is fortunate in having
Chinqua-Penn, I (hink it ought to
continue lo be preserved and main-tained
as pan of our North Carolina
heritage for people to see and enjoy.
That is what we have iried to do
through ihese years."
Symphonic Chorus Performs In
First Presbyterian Nov. 15
By JOY BRUT
N*wiE4h*M
The UNC-G Symphonic Chorus
and (he Mens' Glee Club have been
rehearsing many long hours in
preparation for the November 15
concert.
The concert, the first for the
Chorus this semester, will be held in
First Presbyterian Church at 3 p.m.
under the direction of David Pegg.
Since August, Mr. Pegg and the
chorus have been working together
three times a week on the concert
selections Haydn's "Missa Brevis,"
("a short mass"), and Robert
Shaw's arrangements, "His Voice
As the Sound," "I will Arise," and
"Saints are Bound for Heaven."
The pieces are relatively short; ihe
choral numbers total 25 minutes.
The repertoire was carefully
chosen to "reflect the quality of the
voices," says Pegg.
Pegg has been "shaping the
voices" of some 120 students into
(he musical quality sound he desires
on November 15. To do this he has
been utilizing various techniques,
such as having the chorus sing a
piece on the consonant "z",
"th", on the word "pa", and with
numbers. "Rhythm clarity is a
must. Words will become 'mush' in
a place as large as First
Presbyterian."
He has concentrated on vowels
and on ihe concept of "listening to
ihy neighbor." After all, "one must
develop a good sound from (he
beginning of a rehearsal." In-tonation
is everything.
An overall professional attitude
toward the music they are producing
has been projected. "Music is the
feeling when everyone is doing it
together. The whole chorus working
together produces something greater
than (he individual can produce."
Pegg has been (caching in (he
UNC-G School of Music since
1976. He took a one-year leave of
absence last year to complete
residency requirements at the
University of Hartford where he is
completing the doctoral program.
He received his Masters Degree and
undergraduate degree from UNC-G
in Music Education with a concen-tration
in Piano. He began teaching
and conducting in 1970 in Florida
for grades K-6. He returned to N.C.
where he taught 3'/i years at Smith
High School and later High Point
College.
From his varied background,
Pegg realized that creating music is
not always plain fun. "It's hard
work. Have you ever seen Robert
Shaw conduct? (Singing under his
direction) is a real work-out I The
man carries a towel with him."
Performances usually reflect the
amount of work that has been
devoted lo such • concert.
Pegg concludes, "I don't have to
force people to like music. I don't
have to 'sell' it. The music will sell
itself."
