What's Two Bucks?! Student Congress will meet soon to discuss (among other things) the recent proposal to raise the Student Activities fee. The proposed increase is approximately two dollars a year, up from $38 that each student currently pays. While no one likes to see things such as tution raises, inflation, or higher taxes, these increases are more often becoming necessary. Basically, they've become a fact of life. The main point, however, is, "Are these increases worthwhile?" The Anchor's view is a definite "yes". Anyone who attended Winter Fantasia, listens to WTHS or reads the Anchor, realizes how important this increase can be. While Winter Fantasia costs $32 a couple, the price would undoubtedly be much higher if not subsidized by funds from S.A.C. which directly is funded by the Student Activities fee. Likewise, the money raised by advertising at WTHS and the Anchor cannot solely support the transmission and publication costs of each respectively. The Student Activities fee provides much more than just what is mentioned above. Those three, S.A.C ($33,125), WTHS ($8,400), and the Anchor ($7,725) are just merely three of the four largest. Diverse organizations and activites such as the Black Coalition, Nykerk, Ski Club, Women's Week, May Day, Opus, Pull, and the Inklings are also funded by the same monetary fund. In order to provide these activities and organizations in times of inflation calls for an increase. One could go on and on about the increase costs of paper, or food, or other things, but we're sure you get the picture. Let's hope Congress makes the right decision and goes for the increase. Two bucks doesn't hurt anyone's pocket books as much as $500, the increase of tuition next year. Either way we'll end up paying for it. The old commercial goes, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me (more) later."

Inside the Beltway Platoon:

byDanStid In addition to creating a frenzy at the box office, Oliver Stone's Platoon is causing quite a political stir. The stunning account of an infantry platoon caught up in the maelstrom of Vietnam has drawn sharp criticism from observers who feel the film is anti-veteran and anti-American. That Mr. Stone served as a foot soldier in the war and emerged from it decorated for valor and twice wounded make such charges all the more interesting. Platoon is indeed gritty and uncompromising in its realism; however, veterans of the Vietnam War and the country which they served both stand to benefit from the m e s s a g e that the film so powerfully conveys. Much of the criticism stems from the graphic depictions of drug use, atrocities, incompetent leadership, and fratricidal violence on the part of American troops. Some feel that Platoon is merely an encapsulation of all the negative stereotypes that h a v e b e e n a p p l i e d to the i n f a n t r y m e n _ w h o fought in

Remembering

Vietnam. While such instances may not have been typical in all combat units, or even most, they did occur. Stone presents them in raw form neither to incriminate nor to imply that they were r o u t i n e , but r a t h e r to realistically portray the Vietnam experience as he suffered it. The p o r t r a y a l itself emphasizes what military psychologists have been saying for years: when confronted by the inhumanity of war, some men will resort to honor, others to vengeance, but most will wander in a nebulous void, wavering between courage and c o w a r d i c e , c o m p a s s i o n and brutality. In this respect the men who fought at l a Drang and Khe Sanh were no different than those w h o f o u g h t a t I n c h o n or Bastogne. Insofar as Vietnam veterans' r e a c t i o n s to c o m b a t w e r e different, causality can be found both in the nature of the war and in the political and social context in which America w a g e s it. Stone and his comrades fought an implacable e n e m y in wretched conditions under the auspices of an incomprehensible strategy, and they did so knowing that when they returned to America they would be welcomed by a government that w a n t e d to forget them and by a society that would shower them with spittle—not ticker tape. B y recording the natural reactions of men suddenly thrust into the midst of such an environment, Stone reveals soldiers who are

Hell

not inhuman but quintessentially human. This revelation allows Stone to poignantly illustrate the sheer inhumanity of war itself. A recent spate of war movies m a d e by the likes of Sylvester Stallone (who, interestingly enough, w a s teaching gymnastics to Swiss schoolgirls when he could have been serving in Southeast Asia) and others would lead one to believe that war is a terribly romantic activity, one closely associated with the highest r e a l i z a t i o n of A m e r i c a n manhood. Platoon establishes quickly and consistently that war is u l t i m a t e l y a b o u t d e a t h . Audiences learn that American soldiers can stop a bullet just like communists soldiers can, and when this happens they often die the s a m e writhing, pitiful deaths that h e r e t o f o r e h a v e b e e n reserved only for victims of Rambo. Vietnam has long been a festereing sore on the American psyche. Those who have sought to d i s p l a c e o u r s o c i e t y ' s collective responsibility for the war by condemning those who w e sent to fight it h a v e worsened the infection. So have those who continue to refight the Vietnam conflict in comic book fashion, trivializing the devastation inherent in war. By making Platoon, Oliver Stone has taken a brush and soap to this sore and s t a r t e d s c r u b b i n g . It is a heartwrenching process, but a wound must be cleansed before it can heal.

Tuition a Small Victory

1 The tuition issue has been a topic that has been discussed for some time now. The Board of Trustees met last week and, a l t h o u g h e c l i p s e d by t h e confirmation and presentation of a new p r e s i d e n t , voted to increase tuition 7.4 percent instead of the 8.13 requested in Dr. Van Wylen's proposal. It is a small victory, one that reflects how the board felt about keeping the operating expenses of the new library out of the burden being asked of student this coming year. However, they did not agree with the letter presented to them by the student congress which requested an increase cap of 5 percent, more in line with the 1.8 percent inflation spiral. Overall, costs will go up in the neighborhood of 6.4 percent somewhat less than what w e all experienced last year (7.14 percent) although not r e f l e c t i n g r e a l i s t i c a l l y the growth of income of the current student. There appears to be derision on the board in respect to tuition, I don't think the student body need be fully convinced that every member of the board wants to

continue the high increases that have brought us where w e are. There are a l t e r n a t i v e s like looking at the fundraising for the operating budget or w a y s to adjust s o m e of the m a j o r expenses in the budget, hopefully progress on other solutions will be made as a result of the discussions in c o m m i t t e e and on the board last week. A new president will be installed next year, it m a y be a good time to express—early on in his tenure—the strain being put on the students now at Hope. He may have a sympathetic ear and look for ways to keep the rates in line with our ability to raise the needed funds. It's a pickle of a situation for any president, I can empathize with Dr. Van Wylen. It appears to me that if students are serious about keeping Hope tuition down they n e e d to v o i c e t h e m s e l v e s — a n d p r o v e that there is financial hardship going on. Before pointing the finger at large increases we need to see that our own house is in order. E x t r a v a g a n t e x p e n s e s and summers at the beach don't go over well when complaining about an increase in tuition. However, for most of us $500 will mean working an extra three weeks at our s u m m e r jobs, or loaning more money or maybe even dropping out of Hope for some other place. For m e it is graduate school—and it looks like it will be less expensive than where I am now. When you or your parents struggle with how to pay the bill n e x t s e m e s t e r it m a y be worthwhile to write a letter to the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n — e s p e c i a l l y if you're barely squeaking by.

Lambert Responds

by David L a m b e r t Last week, Mr. Harry Coffill criticized m y ability as a critic. Mr. Coffill w a s absolutely right. Criticism is not m y strongest point. He w a s correct in s a y i n g that a subject should be v i e w e d and researched from all angles before one criticizes it. Unfortunately, c r i t i c i s m is subjective. This is because the audience and the critic do not s e e the work that goes into the film, only the finished product. It doesn't m a t t e r how much m o n e y and effort went into m a k i n g Heaven's Gate if it w a s a lousy movie. Since I, and most other critics had no idea what Frank Oz's objectives were in the making of Little Shop of Horrors, w e can only critique the result. For me, the result of Mr. Oz's labor w a s a wonderfully klunky movie. As I said in the review, everything and everybody in the movie looked fake, but for s o m e reason it worked. In other words, I LOVED LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Though I did not use these p r e c i s e words, I did sprinkle praise for the m o v i e throughout the review. I said that the actor's p e r f o r m a n c e s w e r e fantastic, that it w a s a well p a c e d comedy, that it had a great sountrack, and that I liked s e e i n g it the second time better than the first. The fact that many people thought the review w a s n e g a t i v e was due m o r e to time constraints than anything else. I wrote the review on a Sunday afternoon in two hours or less. My reason for writing it w a s basically to fill space in The Anchor, b e c a u s e Whitney told m e they needed material badly. Therefore, it could be e x p e c t e d that the result

f r e

would not be the Mona Lisa of movie reviewing. Similar constraints were at work in the Inklings article which contained the review of Cotton P a t c h Gospel. I wrote the article b e c a u s e it w a s time for m e to write one. I had nothing pressing on my mind to write about, so I wrote (ironically,) about p e o p l e ' s t e n d e n c y to diminish other people's e n j o y m e n t of e x p e r i e n c e s through critiquing the hell out of what another person enjoyed. I thought that Cotton Patch Gospel w a s a perfect e x a m p l e of this. I had seen the show OffBroadway, and thus had some idea of what the playwright's intent had been. The play w a s written a s an intimate one man show, with a little help from on s t a g e m u s i c i a n s . To be absolutely fair to the theater department, the roles of the man and musicians w e r e far too demanding for anyone likely to be alive on this campus. The man who p l a y e d the role OffB r o a d w a y w a s s o a k e d with s w e a t b y the e n d of the performance. The lead role is p r o b a b l y one of the m o s t physically demanding roles in theater. For this reason, the theater department decided to split the lead role into m a n y parts. The result of this decision w a s that it l i m i t e d t h e p o w e r of t h e production. When the production is done a s a one m a n show, this power is just incredible. When the part is broken up, no actor has much chance at building up a full head of steam in just a few lines. As for the set, it reflected the

theater department's usual razzle-dazzle, knock 'em off their seats with color approach. This approach has worked in the past, but it failed in a show that should have a set that looks more like something out of Hee-Haw than something off of T i m e s Square. The end result w a s panned by one of m y profs a s being "neither southern, nor gospel." However, for a person who had not seen the play before, the show w a s just fine. The point that I w a s making in m y article w a s that I w a s e a g e r to criticize Cotten P a t c h becaust I wanted to look sophisticated, not for aestetic reasons. In f a i r n e s s to t h e t h e a t e r department, I liked The Fantasticks better on Hope's stage than I did in New York. I h a v e also enjoyed The Shadow Box, No Exit, and Bus Stop. All of the above is in answer to a letter which probably did not deserve an answer. The reason is that while Mr. Coffill chastised m e for not knowing enough about that which I critiqued, he did not read the articles which he wrote about carefully before he wrote his letter. If he had, he would h a v e read past m y criticisms of Little Shop to discover that I really liked it. He would have discovered that the t h e m e of the Inklings article w a s that overcriticism is not a good idea. Finally, he would h a v e noticed that the Anchor article he praised (The Case For A Christian P e r s p e c t i v e , ) w a s semi-incoherent due to a layout mistake which s c r a m b l e d the paragraphs. The editorial w a s supposed to read a s it will if you read the f i r s t ' p a r a g r a p h ,

TheOtherSide of Prejudice To the Editor: To David Lambert and all prejudiced persons at Hope C o l l e g e , whether white, black or otherwise. I can only start by saying, "I love you/' First as h u m a n b e i n g s and secondly just because you are. I have no man to thank for my feelings and for my u n d e r s t a n d i n g of t h o s e feelings but I do thank an all knowing and all loving God. When I was a little girl my father joined the U.S. Army and our large family went from the f a m i l i a r suuuoundings of an all black n e i g h b o r h o o d (not the g h e t t o ) , to a m i x e d community on a military base. All of a sudden the — — followed by p a r t a g r a p h s 5 , 4 , 6 , 3 , 2 7 an c 8 'I ' J l ;.

In addition to admission to the ranks of hypocrites, (join the rest of us, Mr. Coffill,) Mr. Coffill s letter betrayed him a s a m e m b e r of the ranks of writers. A few people who mentioned the letter to m e said that the letter showed considerable writing talent. I agree, and would suggest that

Dr. E a r l Curry: I would hope that he would get together with faculty to enliven and enrich the intellectual life of the c a m p u s . The e m p h a s i s of the last few years has been towards a conformity that I would like to s e e Hope shed—to tend toward a m o r e intellectual and cultural diversity. Second, I'd like to s e e him get (the faculty) m u c h m o r e money.

and she was afraid because this was her first babv. This was a real human being. Long before anyone told me black folks and white folks were suppose to hate each other I'd been taught to love. I, Some years later, in the 60s, R? as a young army wife myself I was waiting for the return of my husband from Vietnam. I purchased a mobile home for myself and three pre-school c h i l d r e n in C o l u m b u s , Georgia. I learned after buying the home there were no black trailer parks in that Georgia town. I parked that home in an all white trailer park and was honored with a burning cross at the entrance 1J of that park. I was terrified and suffered a nervous 'T! breakdown. We had had no previous, trouble with the residence of the park and my If children played together and swam together in the pool there. But this was during a time when acid was being ,

poured into pools at some white motels if black people were allowed to check in. My husband was sent home on an emergency leave of absence from the war and it was nine years before I stopped havin nightmares. Still, I canno give in to hate. Twenty years have passed and seven years ago I suffered a greater hurt in my life than the Ku Klux Klan had accomplished. Ironically this was done by a black, and I was given a helping hand in recovering by a community of all whites where I was the only black living there. What a switch, huh? We are funny creatures. I don't know you from Adam but you sound like a hurting human being, who walks, talks, and feels pain just as I am capable of feeling. I really don't care that you are predjudiced except that it may hurt you and not me in the long run. I have a lust for life that starts my day and

when I pass students on campus I speak and past that energy alone if they don't speak back I haven't lost a thing. Know one makes or breaks my day. If you are sincere about wanting to work at solutions to grow out of your prejudice then as a non-traditional student I feel just as responsible in helping meet your needs culturally as the administration of Hope College should feel. I am r e a d y to i n s p i r e a n d encourage you and any student here who has a desire to lam about and experience my culture. As future leaders in society you don't need to take your predjudice with you. My home is open to any and all Hope college students. You don't have to go to New York to "rap." I have students who come for some good old home cooking and I nave two sons, 12 and 13 who will give you an intellectual challenge. The only fighting they do is on our home

When I l i v e d in Germany I danced a decent Polka, for three years, while in England I stopped for two o'clock tea for three more years. I stayed up all night in the citv ligl city of lights", and sat on tthe floor in Japan. When in Jap; Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas I could ask, "Ya'll to come and see us," just like the rest of the natives. Have someone point me out to you on campus and walk up and say, hello." I am loved by the greatest love the world has ever known and I can risk loving you. And please forgive me for saying this but h o n e y . I ' m b l a c k and I wouldn't be dumb enough to walk through a ghetto.

Commenting an the Computers To the editor: I would like to m a k e comment on Computer Service's plan to use microcomputers more extensively on campus. We have had 5 IBM terminals for about a y e a r now, but for the las s e m e s t e r 2 have been broken leaving 3 working terminals. A this rate of failure, w e will no even have a working microcomputer three y e a r s from now. As for the Zenith computers, there are complaints, such as the fact tha t h e y h a v e no g r a p h i c capabilities (Hope decided to s a v e money by not includin graphics boards), that all eigh Zeniths are connected to a single printer (again to s a v e money but also so students can w a s t e time loading paper), and that the fan in a Zenith is loud enough to resemble a small jet engine While I can s e e the need fo micros to run certain program (such a s Lotus), the equipmen w e have and the s e r v i c e that ha been provided with it show tha any switch to micros will save money in the short run at the expense of future repair c o s t and future lack of quality. Hope is a quality school; let us try tc maintain quality computing a well.

Following this, they sang to the audience 44I don't know why you c o m e here" and laughter rippled through the theater. The women of the Calabash featured a variety of songs and instrumental pieces native to countries in Africa. Almost every song held a story behind it. One from Angola, Zair is sung by women at festival time. The audience was told to "feel the party spirit" as it gradually would sneak upon them. All songs w e r e accompanied by natural instruments from the respective countries. Clapping two "bamboo stamping tubes" (from Ghana) together, a lively rhythmic piece c a m e forth. The women explained their main instrument, the calabash, was found in West Africa and was similar to the gourd. After it was hollowed out and dried, a net

of beads w a s placed on the outside. As it w a s patted while held against the s t o m a c h or tossed into the air, the beads created a soft beat. Though e x c i t e m e n t from the audience filled the theater during the entire concert, one of the last pieces, featuring the calabash, was the audience's favorite. Each of the four w o m e n had a turn at an individual rhythm d e m o n s t r a t i o n w h i l e the remaining three d r u m m e d a steady beat. As the soloist tossed the calabash into the air and behind her back, she oohed and a a h e d her a u d i e n c e and rightfully won their enthusiastic applause The audience's enjoyment was obvious throughout the concert. Sitting passively w a s not their style, for the entire audience participated in one w a y or another. While adults s w a y e d their heads to the beat, kids jumped and danced in the aisles. Not surprisingly, the Women of the Calabash w e r e asked back on stage for an encore. Indeed, for two hours African culture w a s brought to Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and offered their appreciation in return.

Continued f r o m Page 11 arts a p p r e c i a t i o n . The colloquium is to inform students about the liberal arts. This issue w a s debated for .several minutes. Student Congress m e m b e r s felt that s o m e c l a s s e s could be dropped from the core curriculum, and ' that there should be an option of making the additional course a core elective.

Larry Wagenaar reported that President Van Wylen has sent a m e m o to the faculty concerning the sexual h a r a s s m e n t policy. He r e c o m m e n d e d that a similar m e m o be sent to all students to make them a w a r e of the policy and its guidelines.

Attitudes stereotype pregnancy; stifle women from being themselves... The images w e perceive are as varied and uniquely different as w e are. They combine to form the fabric of public opinion and social climate of our day, and have strong effects on all of us as individuals. For a pregnant woman, today's popular opinions sometimes have a demoralizing influence. She is commonly identified with an interrupted schooling or career, broken dreams, or a restricted lifestyle; and too often afforded more pity than the acknowledgment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of uniqueness and worth we all need as individuals. Though pity may be well intentioned, this lack of acknowledgment causes the expectant mother to be viewed more as a 'social problem' than a person, and a myopic resentment grows for her and her child Today's children too easily invoke thoughts of'unwanted', abused, underprivileged, or inconvenient 'problems' as well, and suffer the same subtle, far-reaching effects of not being recognized as contributing members of ^ur society. We at BIRTHRIGHT . emphasize that expectant mothers are "people" in the most dynamic sense. They are engaged in a real assertion of themselves; of the value of our humanity and of their ability to love and care for the new life within them. They do not need our pity, but rather our support and respect... sometimes our help. It takes involvement this way; as does iife itself. If you're pregnant and worried, give us a call... We listen. We help. We Care About You. Free pregnancy

Platoon: A review by Scott Carpenter With the r e c e n t s p a t e of Rambo-like m o v i e s , e a c h attempting to white-wash our collective m e m o r y of a w a r w e would rather f o r g e t , c o m e s Oliver Stone's PLATOON w h i c h in cinematic brilliance de pi c t s the pain, the death, the hell of the reality that w a s the V i e t n a m war. No film h a s a f f e c t e d m e more. Set in 1968, Stone, who h i m s e l f served in Vietnam and w h o s e personal e x p e r i e n c e s m a k e up a large part of the f i l m ' s script, m a n a g e s to capture both the brotherhood and betrayal w h i c h was born in a w a r that no one understood, least of all those w h o fought and died in it. In brief, (and without giving anything away) PLATOON recounts the story of Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen), a naive, idealistic college drop-out, who from the day he enters "the N a m " to the day he leaves, a t t e m p t s to r e c o n c i l e the c o r r e s p o n d i n g i m p u l s e s for b r u t a l i t y a n d compassion that a r i s e within h i m as he confronts the hell that s u r r o u n d s him. Stone p e r s o n i f i e s both impulses in two s e r g e a n t s . Sergeant Barnes, (Tom Berenger) the psychotic, soulless representation of a m a n w h o r e a c t s to a inhuman situation with a total lack of h u m a n i t y , and in the m e s s i a n i c S e r g e a n t Elias, (Willem D e F o e ) w h o w h i l e under the s a m e strain m a i n t a i n s an animalistic, c o m p a s s i o n a t e manner. The two, w h o s e performances a r e outstanding, act as Chris's w a r t i m e f a t h e r s and in Chris's words, w a g e " a battle for m y soul." The fundamental question that the film s e e m s to ask is w h o w i n s

HOPE ^ COLLEGE

that battle. The answer: s e e the movie, look d e e p inside yourself, and decide. T h e a r t i s t i c b r i l l i a n c e of PLATOON is to be found within its realism, and although Chris in his lefters to his Grandmother s e r v e s a s narrator his words s e e m wasted a s they add little to the cinematography which has already e x p r e s s e d what no words could. Death b e c o m e s especially tangible a s Stone c r e a t e s in the viewer a tenseness, a dread that can be seen in e v e r y face that has been thrown up onto the screen. The d i s t a n c e b e t w e e n the v i e w e r a n d the c h a r a c t e r s increasingly diminishes to the point that one can feel the heat a s well a s the emotion which burns within and about the characters. The experience l e a v e s the viewer emotionally spent; leaving i m a g e s and ideas that will be hard to repress. P e r h a p s that is Stone's goal: to allow the viewer to experience a splinter of the horror that is war. It is the actors who portray the men who had to live that the horror that m a k e s PLATOON so different from other m o v i e s m a d e about Vietnam. In F r a n c i s Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, for i n s t a n c e , the characters s e e m e d surrealistic, almost incomprehensible. In PLATOON, however, a cast of c o m p a r a b l y unknown a c t o r s m a n a g e s to recreate the tension that occured when a cross section of our society w a s thrown t o g e t h e r to f i g h t a w a r . Startlingly realistic, the actors capture e v e r y sentiment, or in certain c a s e s the lack thereof, m a k e them palpable and, for perhaps the first time.

understandable. The r a c i s m felt by the blacks; the hatred which contributes to the p l a t o o n ' s division; the brotherhood that evolves with a puff of hashish; the bloodlust and the desire to e s c a p e reality- each indicates realistic, individual human responses to unique personal perceptions of what w a r w a s about. No other war m o v i e I've seen h a s e v e r s u c c e e d e d at creating this level of r e a l i s m ; so personal, so up close. However, if r e a l i s m is PLATOON'S strong point m a n y would say that it is also its weakness. Having been criticized for displaying too many of the negative s t e r e o t y p e s of soldiers in Vietnam, the film had been said to have taken all that w a s bad in Vietnam and included it in one f i l m . In o b j e c t i n g to this a s p e c t , * however, critics m a k e the mistake of believing that Stone a s s u m e s his m o v i e to be the definitive account of the war. It is not; it is solely his reflections on it. Yet, PLATOON h a s started the catharsis that our collective experience and responsibility warrants. In fact, perhaps now that Stone h a s m a d e V i e t n a m a subject for serious exploration the p r o c e s s for true healing can begin. Whatever PLATOON'S political implications (and I believe that Stone has transcended politics), it is a phenomenal film that e v e r y o n e should see, especially those of u s at Hope who r e m a i n c o m f o r t a b l e in our cloistered, s e c u r e way of life, indifferent to the realities that others a r e living and h a v e lived. I d e o l o g y or p h i l o s o p h y notwithstanding this film will penetrate a part of the v i e w e r conceivably never touched before, and there is m o r e than a chance that we too will be scarred a s a result of our vicarious experience in a w a r that ended when most of us w e r e under ten y e a r s old. The scars, however, need not go to waste. As PLATOON ended, my first response w a s to w e e p ; my second, to celebrate the life and the youth that are mine.Both r e s p o n s e s a c k n o w l e d g e the power and effect of Oliver Stone's PLATOON. The m e s s a g e of PLATOON, like the Vietnam War itself, should not be forgotten...

Dead Milkmen Coming by L i n d a R u i t e r — Entertainment Editor "In the suburbs when I w a s a kid, m i l k m e n b e c a m e extinct," recalled Philadelphia native Joe Jack T a l c u m , one of the four musicians who collectively call themselves Dead Milkmen. "They just disappeared and, for s o m e s t r a n g e reason, I've never been able to forget that." Phllly's D e a d Milkmen, who will perform at the Holland Theatre Monday, m a y deliver quarts of clean, hardcore humor, but d r u m m e r D e a n Clean (not his real n a m e ) considers the band as " s i m p l y a pop group with a bad attitude." The band's debut album "Big Lizard in m v B a c k y a r d " was quite a spool on A m e r i c a n pop culture. P e r h a p s the q u a r t e t ' s hit "Bitchin' C a m e r o , " a s o n g of adolescence, irresponsibility and life at the beach, is most familiar. Less f a m i l i a r but equally amusing is a song such as 4t L a u n d r o m a t S o n g " about falling in love in a laundromat ("My m i n d grows dirty a s my clothes get clean.")

T h e band—which also Includes Rodney A n o n y m o u s on vocals, and D a v e Blood on bass—writes Its songs collectively and brings a n u m b e r of Influences to Its music. Their s e c o n d album " E a t Ydur P a i s l e y , " Is m o r e focused on the 60s, a p p a r e n t l y t h e i r l e a s t favorite era. The song "The Thing That Only E a t s Hippies" recounts how "It ate Stills and N a s h before they could shout-' Then It c h e w e d on David CrosbyBut It spit him out." Other songs Include " B e a c h P a r t y V i e t n a m " about "cookln' hot dogs with n a p a l m , " and Air Crash Museum, about putting the r e m a i n s of Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly et al. on display. The D e a d Milkmen are m u s i c a l l y m o r e a mixture of funk and rock than punk. So, If you are willing to risk a few d o l l a r s on a group y o u ' v e probably n e v e r heard before, or you've been curious about "punk," this Is the concert to s e e . Tickets are $6.50 and available at the WTHS station and B e l i e v e in Music. Concert starts at 8 p . m .

Black Contributions to Our SoCiÂŠty

A Series coordinated w i t h

the Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs In World War II, England suffered heavy casualties and called upon Dr. Drew to initiate its military blood bank program. It was there that he introduced preserved blood plasma on the battlefield. This system worked so well that the British asked him to organize the world's first m a s s blood bank project. Dr. Drew also became the first Director of the American Red Cross Blood Bank. During the 1940s, Dr. Drew received scores of awards and honors, and was recognized as one of the world's leading physicians. In 1941, Dr. Drew resigned his position after the War Department sent out a directive stating that blood taken from white donors should not be mixed with that of black donors. This issue caused widespread controversy. Drew called the order a "stupid blunder." He further stated that "the blood of individual human beings may differ by blood groupings, but there is absolutely no scientific basis to indicate any difference in human blood from race to race." He returned to Howard University to teach surgery at its medical school. Dr. Drew was killed in an automobile accident while on a trip to a medical meeting at Tuskegee Institute in 1950. The tragedy of his death is that his life may have been saved if he had received immediate medical attention following the accident. Due to discrimination, nearby white hospitals did not avail him the blood transfusions needed to save his life. Every blood bank in the world is a living memorial to the genius of Dr. Charles Richard Drew. His n^me will live on into posterity. S c h o o l s and h e a l t h c l i n i c s throughout the United States have been named in honor of Drew and his generous gift to mankind.

Dr. Charles Richard Drew was a world renown surgeon, medical scientist, educator and authority on the preservation of blood. He was the pioneer of blood plasma preservation, leaving mankind an important legacyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Blood Bank. Born in 1904, in Washington, D.C., he was the eldest of five children born to Charles and Nora D r e w . He . w a s an outstanding athlete. Graduating from Dunbar High School in 1922, he e x c e l l e d in f o o t b a l l , toashetball, swimming and track with much acclaim. At Amherst College in Massachusetts, he was an achiever in both sports and academics, graduating in 1926 with high honors. He went on to become an instructor of biology and chemistry and Director of A t h l e t i c s at M o r g a n S t a t e College in Baltimore, Maryland. . Charles Drew loved sports and was a tough competitor. He could have become a professional athlete or coach, but his desire to become a doctor w a s stronger. In 1928, Drew e n t e r e d McGill University Medical School in Montreal, Canada and won m e m b e r s h i p in its Medical Honorary Society. It was at McGill that he became interested in blood research. He received his Master of Surgery and Doctor of Medicine degrees in 1933. After internships at the Royal V i c t o r i a H o s p i t a l and t h e Montreal General Hospital in Canada, he taught at Howard University's Medical School. A f t e r w a r d s , at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, in New York City, he researched a process for blood preservation. D u r i n g h i s t w o y e a r s at C o l u m b i a , he d e v e l o p e d a technique for the long-term preservation of blood plasma. He earned the degree of Doctor of Science in Medicine, in 1940, with a dissertation on the subject of "Banked Blood."

Take Columbia to 8th, go right on 8th, go approx. one mile and veer left on Chicago Dr.,\ go to the 2nd stoplight turn right, it's on the right

by David Hepenstal Thursday, Jan. 29 of Women's Week, Candace Anderson p e r f o r m e d before a s p a r s e audience on an appropriately wintery evening. Singing folk songs about Michigan women to the ripe pickings of her guitar and dulcimer, Anderson brought to life admirable, interesting women characters in Michigan history that she had come across in her study of diaries, published letters, and her own family's earlier generations. Each colorful and story-like song spoke of woman and the strength of her nature as exemplified by such characters as a hearty cook in an e a r l y M i c h i g a n lumbercamp, a * strong-minded young woman who b e c a m e the University of Michigan's first coed, a reminiscent, elderly, white haired mother of 13 children (with 52 grandchildren â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of which is Anderson

herself), and a robust woman, the backbone of her family, w h o s e drive and spirit persevered through the blowing, white winters of the late 1800s to finally see the day in which her pioneering efforts had finally created what she could call a home deep in the Michigan woodlands where perhaps someday her children's children would thrive. Softly lit by the yellow glow cast from antique lamps (electric however), dressed in a full-length, corseted, black c o s t u m e d r e s s , and hair c o n s e r v a t i v e l y p i n n e d up, Anderson w a s most successful in c r e a t i n g an a u t h e n t i c 19th century atmosphere which effectively complemented the material in the performance. Anderson was refreshingly original in the way she combined

|Travel Opportunity

her love of history and music into an entertaining whole with a pertinent m e s s a g e underlying all. Her songs and stories beamed with pride the e s s e n c e of womanhood. The m e s s a g e woven into Anderson's music managed in some way, be it subtle or not so subtle, to register a pleasing sort of internal impact absorbed and f e l t by a n y l i s t e n e r w h o r e w a r d e d their s e n s e s this unusual treat last Thursday evening. Candace Anderson's "A Sampler of Michigan Women in History" w a s indeed a highlight for Women's Week. Her gentle but resonant voice, brilliantly creative mind, and e a s e in ability to strike up vivid images and emotions by way of her music made for a thoroughly enjoyable, if not heartwarming experience.
