Show competition

Arena’s opening put crunch on concert committee

By SAUNDRA roan
sun Writer

Now that Lexington has
taken its place amongthebig
concert towns, the Student
Center Board Concert
Committeehas its .fwork cut
out for than.

Ticket sales for the SCB
concerts has dropped since
the opening of the 23,000-seat
Rupp Arena, but the com—
mittee will continue to
present concerts for the
University and community.

“There are too many
concerts in town and not
enough people and money to
go to them all,” explained
Jeff Bojanowski, former SCB
concert committee chairman.
“Ean (a Huntington, W.
Va. promotor which books
most of the concerts into the
Arena) is bringing in as many
shows as it can because
they’re here to make
money."

The concert committee is
economically independent,
operating solely from an
account given to them by the
Dean of Students when the
committee originated. The
only deposits into the account

Assault suSpect : '

have been profits from the
concerts.

The committee receives no
funds from the University or
SCB, but a future show has
initiated a change in policy.
SCB has allocated $2,000
toward the appearance of
Dolly Parton, who will per-
form in Memorial Coliseum
on Sept. 23.

This money does not go into
the committee’s account, but
rather to the performer and
for expenms incurred asa
result of the performance.

Over the past year there
have only been three
economically unsuccessful
shows. Concerts by Harry
Chapin, Randy Newman and
the Ozark Mountain
Daredevils failed to break
even, but successful concerts,
such as those given by
Norman Blake and J .J. Cale,
made up the losses.

The conn-nittee is having a
difficult time pinpointing the
exact reason for the att-
tendance drop. “We have
better facilities than Rupp

The head basketball coach
at Frankfort High School has
been charged with two counts
of first-degree sexual abise
and three counts first-degree
burglary, criminal
trespassing and disorderly
condict in connection with
the recent wave of sexual
assaults and break—ins in the
UK area.

Charles Ronald
Strasburger, 31, waived
formal arraignment in
Fayette District Court
Monday, pleading not guilty
to the felony charges of
sexual abuse and buglary.
Three days earlier he had
entered the same plea on the
misdemeanor charges.

Strasburga- was released
from custody Monday on a
$25,920 unconditional
property bond. A preliminary
hearing is scheduled for Aug.
15

Strasbwga- was arrested
outside a Rose Lane apart-

ment building about 2:30 a.m.
on Friday by Metro Police
detectives. The officers were
in the area as part of a
stakeout prompted by 14
reports of break-ins, sexual
abme and burglary during
the past two months.

Strasburga' was seen at the
building and fitted the
description given by previous
victims, according
Detective Dan Gibbson.

Police found Strasburga"s
pick-up truck parked at the
end of the street with the
motor running.

The last reported incident
was at a UK South Campus
dormitory on July 11. That
case involved the alleged
sexual assault of a woman by
a man wearing a ski mask
and carrying a knife.

Metro Detective Bill Allen,
who is in charge of the in-
vestigation, said that report

may be related to the othes. ‘

Even though the man was
masked, Allen said, “we feel
there’s a connection because
of the gw’s size and stature.”

i'l‘he times, locations and
actions were all similar in
nature, he said.

using a time—honored method of getting

However. the current wave of public service
workers hitting the picket lines points out a
serious flaw of the unionization system. When
postal workers. policemen, firefighters, garbage
collectors and others leave their jobs, what is
left? Only the military — men and women more
attuned to battlefield conquests than putting out
fires.

cutbacks are —— the public can use oil and other
energy forms. But when whole precincts of
police officers start calling in sick, the public
cannot turn to another brand name to patrol the
streets.

The governments are stuck with giving in or
collapsing as the only alternatives. Court rulings
ordering striking employees back to their job are
virtually ignored.

During thelast postal strike — and by the way.
there is a federal law against postal strikes —
the government agreed to waive penalties
against those workers who stayed away from
their jobs. It was part of the compromise to get
them to return.

Basically. because of the irreplacability of the
workers. the unions have the government at
its mercy. And there really isn‘t much the
cities can do about the situation.

What is needed is a better understanding
between a city‘s employees and the municipal
government. If a better relationship between the
two parties can be affected. with each trying to
deal fairly and unselfishly with the situation,
than maybe the need for unionization of city
employees will pass.

This is not to say we are anti-union. But the
mixture of city workers and unions is not
producing a result healthy to the public which
they serve.

Student exodus
throws stores
for financial loss

By OLIVIA CLOUD
Kernel Staff Writer

While students prepare for
year-end finals and summer
vacations. Lexington
businesses plan for the slow-
down that results from the
absence of 20,000, dollar~
spending students.

Convenient Food Mart on
South Limestone receives a
great deal of campus
business, and according to
assistant manager Bruce
Zarth, “takes quite a loss in
the. summer. We have to
decrease both our stock and
4the num ber of l employees."

Ron Cox. manager of Pic—
Pac Food Stores on South
l'pper Street. said that
business makes the same
adjustment. “We constantly
control and watch our in-
ventory and cut back when
necessary. "

“Wé hire a lot of students]
he said. “Most of them go
home during the summer.
This helps to alleviate our
overabundance of help."

Even with adjustments,
Kennedy‘s Book Store is
forced to take a loss. ac-
cording to John C. Butcher,
manager of the store.

“Business is very light in
the summer. We don't get
enough btsiness to stabilize
our costs but we have to
remain open to get ready for
the fall semester," he said.

.-.e financial impact of the
nzass student exodus extends
beyond the immediate
campus area.

“it hurts for sure,“ said
Fredrick Hawkins. manager
of Merry—Go-Round in
Fayette Mall. “Our em-
ployees are made aware that
their hours may be cut back
some during the summer."

Hawkins said the number of
people in the mall declines
noticeably during the sum-
mer.

Businesses providing goods
other than the necessities of

experiences the crunch.

“Sales are down in the
summer but students are still
our main customers," said an
employee of the store.
“Employee hours are cut. as
well as the supply of hard
liquor."

An exception is beer sales.
said the employee, which is
the only product that remains

Theatre season opens ,

Comedies bring
laughs of all types

By THOMAS CLARK
Editor

During the past week, the UK Theatre opened three comedies that
provided audiences with enough laughs to make then forget they
were spendng the summer in Lexington.

Being performed in repertory fashion are: Hay Fever by Noel
Coward, The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild by Paul Zindei and the
musical-comedy The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the
Crowd by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. The productions are
distinctly different from each other and provide a rigorous test for
the talents of the UK Theatre's actors.

'Hay Fever’

Hay Fever. which opened a week ago, is probably the best of the
trio. Coward’s work has no real purpose except to parody the
aristocratic rich who dabble in the arts as if it were a toy. .

The script is filled with comic situations and the typically British
snide remarks, the latter of which could easily slip past an un-
suspecting audience.

Cathie Brodrover starred as Judith Bliss, an actress who has
given up the stage in favor of an English country mansion, where
she dabbles with young athletes and contemplates her eventual
return to the stage. With her at the mansion are her children Sorel
and Simon and he- amhor-husband David.

These roles are filled by Amy Thompson, Robert Hess and John
Shelton and the quartet compliment each other quite well. Thomp-
son and Hess are moody and spoiled children while Shelton interests
himself in h'n work, letting the family run wild.

Run they do. The plot revolves aroundall four members of the
family inviting a guest up for the weekend. In a quick succession of
twists and turns, each. abandons his or her quest and turns to
another. The action culminates in a second act finale that is
priceless. .

The major problem of the evening is in the first act script. In it
comes the introduction of the principals, the unfolding of the
dilemna and the actual entrance of the guests, all of which bogs
down to nearly a standstill before the intermission. For instance, we
are well into the play before it becomes clear that Sorel and Simon
are brother and sister. not husband and wife.

But the long preparation pays off in Act Two as the comedy begins
to flow and the laughs become closer together.

The nine-member cast assembled by director Raymond Smith is
umsually good. After an initial lag in tempo by Thompson and Hess,
the company found its pace and timed their lines with delicacy.
Even the British acents worked well. Smith has staged the play

”nicely, letting the action flow swiftly without moving the actors

around the stage in a whirl.
'The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild’

While Fever is comedy for comedy’s sake, the following play is
more in the dramatic vein. The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild -—
which opened Saturday — receives its share of the laughs, but has
a more serious story with which to deal.

It is this relationship between comedy and drama that troubles
the production. Director Joe Ferrell has tried to brim out more of
the comic elements and thereby delegates the drama to a lesser role
than it should. The problem isn’t serious, bit it did make Wild the
least appealing of the trio.

The action is set in the living quarters of “a dilapidated candy
store, Greenwich Village, New York Ci ” where Mildred and her
husband Roy (Barbra Ruttenberg an Randy Allen Johns) are
833% a final few days before demolition crews begin work on the
s .

Mildred refuses to face the crisis, preferring to immerse herself
in the movies — afternoon television reruns, yellowing fan
magazines and the late nuht double-features at the corner theatre.
Ruttenberg's characterization is and sad as she looks to
the stars (not the Big Dipper, bit Clark Gable) for guidance.

Her performance is not matched by Johns’. His emotions are not
communicated vividly to thealaiieice, leaving it unsure as to how to
react to him. Does he deserve pity or contempt as he tries to un-

through several complicated plot t

derstand his wife and is he reluc ant or just chicken in the face of
sexual advances from his landla 1y (Cathie Brookover)?

It isn’t until the final scene th it it becomes clear how he feels
about Mildred and then it is quite a tender moment.

In contrast, Johns' comic timi 2‘ is quite good and he shone in the
scene where Mildred discovers {e landlady hiding behind a par-
tition in the apartment. '

As mentioned before. Mildred l ks to the movies for advice and
fimk it in short dreams played 01 :t on the stage. The dreams are
actually short sketches of famou. ; films, such as Gone With The

Wind and King Kong, adapted fre ly to fit Mildred’s various crises. ‘

These sequences are the comic big fight of the show.

Only one scene detracts from th 3 play as a whole. Near the end,
_ _ s. Mildred becomes the star of
a film in desperate search for an er ding, Out trots almost the entire
cast for a song-and-dance num . r featuring a Shirley Temple

'The Roar of the reasepaint -

The Smell of t e Crowd’

Wild is a complicated comedy w th many faces and, considering
this was opening n'ght, could . , ume sharper in future per-
formances. In contrast, Tuesday s opening of The Roar of the
Greasepaint, The Smell of the Cro - d showed most of the qualities of
a sharp, professional prodmtion.

Originally written as a vehicle f . r Anthony Newley to encore his
highly acclaimed performance in ‘ op the World. I Want to Get om,
the play provides an excellait ch ice for John Shelton to show off

he many talents.
Shdton 8 cast as Cocky, a - mmon man pitted against the

arrogant, overbearing Sir (Robert Hess) in a strange game that is
“a mockery of life." Directed by ‘Iary Beth Kopesky, the evening
belonged to Shdton — but he had ibeathisbesttotopI-less.

The plot is simple and can be re i in endess ways. Sir, the eternal
winner of the game, “3:: 1‘ , rat detlielghtbuitnalconffi and
humiliating r Cocky, 98 . espera y ways a prey
to Sir. The vimn is aided by The ','d (Karen Waddeil), to whom he
teacha the ways of the world. an ' ' he proceeding are all carefuny

observed by a band of urchim who only take sides for fun.

Hess and Shdton make a perfect pair throughout the per-
formance. Hess played the villian with such care in both h‘u acting
and singng that the audience had to pity him when Cocky finally
wises up and turns the table. But the script favors Shelton and he
made the most of it.

His performance was outstanding from all aspects. He acted his '

part well, from accepting Sir’s punishment to the realization he also
could be a winner, and performed the songs and dances with flair.
Shelton’s singing voice waslacking in some areas, but his versions
of “Who Can I Turn To” and“The Joker” were well done.

As a whole, the musical performance of the cast was good con-‘

sidering musicals are a rarity on the UK stage. The chorus of ur-
chins was weak on most occasions, but Kathryn Meade (Tire Girl)
(Sihrsgaed a beautiful soprano in he “First Love Song" duet with

Melinth Noel and Karen Pulliam’s choreography in the show was
also weak in many places. The featured dances were well done by
various cast members, but the full cast numbers were basically
tried-and-true steps and largely unimaginative.

But the production rests on the performance of Shdton and Hess
and their triumph carries across to the rest of the production. It was
an evemng of good music and better acting, a rare combination.

Technically the trio of shows suffered only once, in the set desiyi
of Hay Fever. All the sets and lighting were designed by Robert

Plo_ch and h'n sets for Greasepaint — a stagewide, miilti-plafl'orm-
staircase for the game — and Mildred Wild — a beautifully. drab-

and cluttered apartment — were perfect settings for the plays.

Butthe drabness of the latter set, which was rearranged for Hay
Fever, was the major flaw. The set simply did not depict the
elegance that should have surrounded the characters.

The costumes created by Amy Thompson were all fashioned to
meet the needs of the plays; from the 1920’s style gowns for Hay
Fever to the modern dress in Mildred Wild to the stylized gm
shorts and tops for Greasepaint.

Itis a tremencbus task to schedlde, coordinate and produce a trio
of productions in a given period of time. But the UK Theatre has
staged three comedies that each maintain a comic style of their own
without distracting from the overall quality of the program. Three
hits out of three plays is a damn good average.

The plays are performed in repertory style on individual nights,
except on Mondays, through July 29. Play dates and ticket in-
formation is available at the Guignol Theatre box office in the Fine
Arts Building or by calling 258-2680.

Baptist Church More shatters than shivers,

Foreigner isfar from perfect

By THOMAS CLARK
Editor

In a recent issue of Rolling
Stone magazine, Mick
Jons —lead guitarist and
co-producer for the group
Foreigner — said that he and
the group were “far more
interested in trying to make
music that will send shivers
down our spines than in
trying to be the Perfect Rock
Group.”

Using their Friday night
Rupp Arena concert as a
basis, the boys in the band
have made it. The are NOT
the “Perfect Rock Group"
and the sheer magnitude of
the sound produced quakes
through the spinal cord.

Foreigner displays nothing
new or innovative or un-
characteristic of modern
“get-down—an d—boogie” rock
and roll. Rarely is their music
interesting. The formula of
the band is simple: three
guitars, drums, a vocalist and
keyboards. Throw in an oc-
casional saxophone or flute,
turn up the volume and—
essentially— that is
Foreigner.

The Rupp Arena concert
had two p‘imary elements:
guitars and noise. The
audience ate it up. Only once
in the evening did the group
stray from the recipie and the
audience seemed unim-

pressed. It turned out to be .

the musical highlight of the
evening. ‘

The number was
“Starrider” from last year’s
debut album, Foreigner. The
ballad was played through
