Classical music available for all students
BY GAIL COWART
There is a room on the first
floor of the Humanities building
where hundreds of music scores
and books on everything from
composers’ lives to music
theory abound. Although open
to all students, few except
music majors and minors know
the Music Library of West
Georgia exists.
All books and music in the
library can be checked out for
one month periods. Tom Beggs,
a graduate music student, is
responsible for running the
library. Using the Library of
Congress system, he has been
'Deliverance' to be shown on campus
A REVIEW BY
WAYNE ANDERSON
Four Atlanta men decide to
take a weekend canoeing trip
from Oree to Aintry, along the
Cahula River before it is tamed
by a dam downstream. James
Dickey’s novel about their
journey, Deliverance, is a gritty
story about survival in the
wilderness away from the
protection of society and the
law. There, the four battle both
nature and man, learning that
both are equally vicious.
John Boorman’ filmed ver
sion of Deliverance, with
screenplay by Dickey, is a
faithful adaptation of the novel.
Boorman’s film retains
Dickey’s complex treatment of
survival and initiation into
manhood themes with an un
flinching realism that leaves
nothing to the imagination. In
addition, Boorman and Vilmos
Zsigmond, director of
photography, are able to
capture the awesome beauty of

organizing the library’s
resources.
“I’ve learned a lot from this
job about musicology the
study of music, music
materials, their organization
and how the materials were
used throughout history. In the
process of helping students find
material I usually end up
learning something myself.’’
Beggs attributes the out-of
the-way location as one reason
few except music students use
the library. In addition, most of
the material is classically
the North Georgia mountains
and the dehumanizing ugliness
of Appalachian poverty —with
a greater success than Dickey
had in his book.
Lewis (Burt Reynolds), the
leader of the group, is a man
continually trying to stretch his
strengths and courage to the
limit. The canoeing trip is to be
just another test of his skills. Ed
(John Voight), Lewis’ closest
friend, physically is Lewis’
equal, but lacks confidence.
Drew (Ronny Cox) is
straightforward and quiet, a
follower. Bobby (Ned Beatty),
is an obnoxious insurance
salesman who hides his
weaknesses by boasting.
This is the group that plans to
go on a nice, carefree, camping
trip. Their hedonistic weekend
is disrupted when Ed and Bobby
are held at gunpoint by two of
North Georgia’s average
hillbilly homosexuals the
story’s one lapse into the ab
oriented. There is no popular
music, but contemporary 20th
century composers in the
classical vein are well
represented.
The music library’s record
collection is housed across the
hall in the language lab. Most of
the major classic works from
sonatas to symphonies are
there for anyone desiring to
hear them.
Trying to listen to a par
ticular work can prove
discouraging at times, because
lab workers “usually have no
surd. Lewis kills one, but the
other escapes In order to
return to civilization, the men
must then battle both the
violence of the river and the
vengeful Cracker.
Made in 1972, Deliverance
was filmed in Rabun County
and along the Chattooga River.
The film is violent and contains
several potentially offensive
scenes; nonetheless, it is
visually powerful, thematically
intriguing and suspenseful.
Deliverance will be presented
by the CPB Cinema Wednesday
at 8 and 10 p.m. on the ground
floor of Z-6. Admission is 75
cents with ID and $1 without.

finding the record and even the
correct band,’’ Beggs said.
At one time the library’s
printed and recorded materials
were in one area and Beggs
would like to see them put
together again
Dr. Robert Coe, chairman of
the Fine Arts Department,
explained that putting the
library in its present location
and dividing it was born of
desire to “be more accessible to
students. We couldn’t keep it
open enough upstairs because
we couldn’t leave it open with
no one on duty.”
Dr. Coe acknowledges the
“known handicaps’’ of the
current operation. “We’d like to

get people trained in music
working with the audio
equipment and get more
sophisticated equipment, for
that matter.”
Still, despite the minor
“kinks,” the music library
meets standards of the National
Association of the Schools of
Music. Fine Arts Committee
maintains a three-year
projected list of materials to be
purchased and directs the
growth of the library’s
resources.
So. if you’ve always wanted to
try a little Beethoven or even
just wondered what he was
really like, take advantage of
the college’s music library and
find out. A wealth of music
resources and listening
pleasure awaits you.
