Restaurant Lands Riverfront By Donna Pope Copy Editor "Something's coming to Farmville that it's never seen before," says restaurant manager and former HampdenSydney student,TommyGraizino. It's Charley's Waterfront Cafe. A place to bring your parents. What happens to you when your parents come to visit? Well, after the initial panicking, and the floor being swept (stuffed) into the closet, the 'rents arrive and sit— Dad at the desk, trying to look intrigued with your statistics textbook, Mom on the bed. secretly admiring your larger-thanlife sweating beer bottle poster, and you leaning against the closet door to keep it shut. And when all the dust has gathered and sighs released, where do you all go to eat? The usual, same old place as last time. Graizino, who has been working at Charley's in Richmond, said the new restaurant will be a place you're proud to bring your parents—a place with class. "There will be a full bar. live entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings," says Graizino. "and a deck with capacity for eighty people overlooking the Appomatix River." Staff accountant Jennifer Sutton said. "We want the customers to feel like they're in their own homes. We want to make sure the customers comes back." According to Graizino. "Our usual
crowd consists of couples and businessmen. The Sunday Brunch has been a big hit with families. It includes waffles, a twelve-item all-youcan-eat hot bar, and omelettes to order, at $7.25 for adults. $3.25 for children All our food is homemade and fresh—nothing bought frozen and reheated." Chef Carl White hopes that Charley's Waterfront Cafe will provide good food and spirits and a neighborhood feel. F.choing his outlook on the new restaurant were fellow staff members Mike Cheney, chef, and Mack London, dining room manager. The facilities include a banquet room that holds 120 people, a dining room that holds 260, a bar that holds 80. and a deck that holds 50 The kitchen contains all top of the line appliances and equipment. These facilities can accommodate block parties, festivals, and catering, and will stay open until 2:00 AM. They also provide smoking and non-smoking sections. Charley's Waterfront Cafe, after construction is complete, will be where what is now the "Old Warehouse," next to Greenfront, across the railroad tracks on Main Street. Farmville. The grand opening party will be a night to benefit STEPS, a local non-profit organization that operates a recycling center.
Mother Courage Runs April 13-16 In Jarman Longwood College Theatre will present Bertolt Brecht' s Mother Courage on Wednesday through Saturday, April 13-16. at 8 p.m. in Jarman Auditorium. Considered one of the great plays of this century, Mother Courage is a stinging attack on war and man's inhumanity to man. Written in 1933. the play is prophetic of the brutality and carnage that was to follow World War II. a war that parallels in destruction the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) that serves as a backdrop to the play. The character of Mother Courage runs a canteen with her children, following the armies and selling them necessities, she is a good capitalist, willing to haggle with anyone to sell her wares and profit off the war. She also is willing to haggle over a bribe that might save her son from a firing squad and, as a result, she falls victim to her own avarice. Mother Courage endures the loss of her children, the plundering, the slaughter, and the bribery, all done in the name of God in a religious w ui t li.n pitted Catholic against Protestant. She is acutely aware that while the decisions about the war are made far away from the front in France oi Spain or the Holy Roman Empire, it is the [leillllll, the common soldiers, and luisclf and her children who are the pawns in the war. She tries to make the best of it and profit from a bad world But as the Sergeant says at the end of scene one: "When a war gives you all you earn/One day it may claim something in return!" Pamela Arkin, who teaches acting
in Long wood's Department of Speech and Theatre, will play the complex role of Mother Courage. Teresa Goding is her mute daughter, Kattrin. Anthony Foley and Graham Hackett play her sons, Eilif and Swiss Cheese Joseph Wilson has the role of the Commander's Cook. Dr David Hott. associate professor of management at Longwood, will play the Champlain. Heather Moulin is Yvette. the campfollow ing prostitute with her colorful hat and red boots. Others in the cast as soldiers and peasants are Shane Ayers, Dana Bamberger, Dwayne Barton, Cindy Callahan, Brent Fox, Billy Hoovier, Gray Lipford. Tosh Marks, and Kel Morris. Dr. Douglas Young is directing the play, and scene design is by Mollatt Evans, Technical Director. Both are members of Longwood's theatre faculty. Stage Manager is Scott Joyce, Lighting Designer is Jason Hoffman, and Costume Designer is Be vin Antea Music is by Amy Carlton. piano, James Lyle, keyboard; and Arthur Wiggins. drums. "Brecht would have his audience judge these characters and mankind's penchant for war," Dr. Young said "History can teach us many lessons, but Brecht's questions would include, how badly do we want to learn them '" General admission to the play is SS; senior citizens, area students, and Longwood employees, $3,1.ongwood students free with ID.

The lights go out. and the crowd explodes, chanting "Pearl Jam" and "Eddie," the name of the lead singer. Fifteen candles are set atop the massive guitar amplifiers and are lit, casting a rather eerie glow upon the otherwise dark stage. The roar of the crowd increases as they see the shadows of the 5 band members slink onto stage through the darkness A lone guitar strumsachord. and Pearl Jam performs "Release' I slow, deep song from their first al hum, "Ten " The stage lights remain off as Eddie Vedder's brooding vocals fill the arena, and at the end of the song he murmurs. "You all know what's on our minds," in reference to the recent and tragic death of Kurt Cobain. the lead singer of Nirvana. The band then launches into a string of incredible songs. They include "Go," T\onflow." "Daughter." "Alive." "Jeremy," "Animal," "Black," and many more. Bach song rocks the anna, and the screams from the fans almost dwarf the booming music that echoes from the immense speakers

All three of these songs express very emotional aspects of life, and the lyrics, written by Vedder, reflect his own thoughts and feelings During Black." he clutches the microphoneclose to him. swaying to the melodic notes and connecting with the crowd through pure emotion. They end with "Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town," and as the song slowly diaws to a close. Vedder softly whispers the trailing lyrics. "Heart and thoughts, they fade . fade away." As he does, the lights dim. and the band finishes its conceit ind.ukness.justas it had begun. Or so we think.

Pearl Jam feeds on this chaotic mass of fans, and begins to perform never-recorded material, trying it out on the crowd. Drummer Dave Abbruzzese goes full force now, pounding out new rhythms while Vedder grabs a guitar and begins to play. The crowd goes crazy. The third guitar adds spectacular fullness, and the fans obviously approve of the new songs. Vedder is standing quietly on stage now, and as he looks out at the vast crowd, he says, "Ya' know, sometimes people put you up on a pedestal, and it can be tough I don't think any of us would be here tonight if it weren't for Kurt Cobain."

PERSPECTIVES
Censorshit? The true definition of censorship is one of the most controversial issues around. Who has the authority to classify what is ohscene, entertaining, or proper? The Rofunda experienced a hite of censorship last week. Notonlynews published its annual mock-Zco/Mnc/a/Longwood College newspaper on April Fool's Day, and on the seventh page iippearcd a picture of Rev. J. R. 'Bob' Dobbs with the words, "Bob Says Have a Nice Shit." Someone or xroup of people took the time to cut out each picture of Bob, and the issues of The Rofunda were placed back in the Rotunda area. It's embarrassing that someone or some people have assumed that much power, trying to protect the students from having to make decisions about what is offensive and what is not. The word shit is not new among most students' vocabularies. While some may think that Bob's phrase is inane, that is not the point. The appearance of Bob and the naughty word is a matter of judgment on behalf of the writers for Notonlynews, and it should not be subject to censorship by anyone. There arc no violent or sexual connotations. There exists DO reason for cutting the pictures out. The only issues found that had missing Bob pictures—and there were a few stacks— were in the Rotunda area, outside the dining hall. Most students already picked upcopies before the censors used their scissors! A more admirable form of protest would have been to write a letter to the Notonlynews explaining why it was offensive. Fliminating Bob and his message was childish and illegal. At this point, no accusations have been made. The editor has filed a report with Campus Police. The Student Press Law Center has more information about what to do when school authorities oranyoneelseattemptstocensorstudents' materials. Write to the SPLC at 1755 1 Street, NW, Suite 504.

Sorority President Calls ForTKEsTo Put Aside Selfishness Editor, The Rotunda: Attcr reading the front page article in last week's Rotunda entitled "Fraternity is 1 in inn-. Over I .using Suite." I could not hold back my anger. To sec si. called "leaders" of this campus boail "I the services they have pro videil m the community in one line, and in another refuse to share the exceM space that they have with those that are in their own greek community— what are you belly aching for when members of black sororities and traternities have to carry out business in dorm rooms which are virtual closets'1 Have you ever tried to hold a meeting in a chapter room that is a fire
hazard9 Or have you ever had noise complaints from residents when you try to carry out ceremonies? What makes these members of Tau Kappa Epsilon feel that they will suffer from "sharing" space with other organizations, who incidentally, contrihute as much, if not more, to the LongWOOd and Farmville communities. In previous years, the black greek organizations have had to forfeit their entire space to other organizations on campus Delta Sigma Theta lost its chapter room space two semesters ago. You already have a pool room, suite and chapter room. I guess going without
one of these would cramp your lifestyle And to the member of TKE who felt that forcing multi-culturalism down people's throats is counterproductive, you are missing the point entirely. The issue is that we as black greek lettered organizations feel as if we deserve the same privileges as other groups on campus. I feel that the members of TKE should put aside their own selfishness and work with Longwood in their endeavors. In the end. everyone will benefit from this change.

Thank goodness our morals are low enough that we can have sex with a male we have never met before! How else would the young males of our society (never mind how young) get any sexual experience? These loose females, like the fraternities, need to be given some sort of
recognition for their SERVICES. The fact that the female never asked the eighteen year-old for his name or number—and let's face it, she did not offer her number either—(hough a first name WAS provided (thanks for small favors) mi,I the fact that the female in question had to be reminded BY THE EIGHTEEN YEAR-OLD that "yes we WILL use a condom" is amazing I just love Longwood sometimes.

Student Fumes At Environmental Apathy Editor, The Rotunda: On behalf of the Earth Club, and in response to the editorial in the March 30 issue of the Rotunda concerning Longwood'sYearof the Environment, I would like to comment on the Styrofoam which is still being used in the dining hall and in Lancer Cafe, even though most of us know by now the evils of this unnecessary, ugly, and wasteful white substance. Why is it so bad? First of all. Styrofoam takes up a lot of space in our landfills, where 80% of our nations' garbage still goes. Landfills are being filled up at such a pace that two permanently close every day. leaving garbage with no place to go but yet another new landfill. We can't keep building landfills until our country is nothing but a few oases providing refuge from a stinking wasteland of the non-biodegradable muck that we produce. Unlike some of our products that can be recycled, such as aluminum and glass, Styrofoam cannot be, contrary to popular belief, except in rare cases, when Styrofoam is transformed, through a laborious procedure, into those park benches we've heard about, and a few other things But a Styrofoam cup will never be another Styrofoam cup once you have tossed it at the cafe. But the problems are much more far-reaching than that. Styrofoam is produced by a process in which CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are released into the atmosphere. This chemical, "invented" early in this century, was at that time thought to be some kind of "wonder chemical" because it has so many uses and was thought never to break down into chlorine, it's one component which is extremely toxic Used in chemical solvents, aerosol spray cans, air conditioning, refrigeration, and Styrofoam, CFCs were used indiscriminately for years by companies who didn't know they were doing any harm. Today, however, and for the past 20 or so years, it has been proven (now by NASA) that CFCs DO break down, they just wait until they reach our outer atmosphere to do it—specifically, until they reach the now-famous ozone layer—where the chlorine does tremendous amounts of irreversible damage. The ozone layer protects ALL life on Earth from the sun's ultraviolet rays, which most of us know can cause a lot of damage when one is exposed to them without protection and for too long. Skin cancer and eye ailments like cataracts, which can lead to blindness are obvious results, becoming more obvious all the time through shockingly high cancer statistics in places like Chile and Australia that are already being hit with the scary realities linked to ozone depletion Reports of rabbits allowing themselves 10 be shot by hunters because their sensitive eyes have been blinded by this sudden change in ultraviolet ray intensity, of blinded fish, and of crop damage all illustrate the wide range of
inaction). New evidence shows that the sun's ultraviolet rays can even lead to deficiencies in our immune systems—just what we need when AIDS is already doing the same to thousands and thousands of people. And to make matters worse, it takes about 20 years for CFCs to reach the ozone layer and do theirdamage; thus what we are seeing now are the effects of what we were putting out 20 years ago—much less than what we have produced in the meantime. The global nature of this and other problems explains the ironical, and, it may seem, unjust, fact that the CFCs don't float right up and eat up ihe ozone layer in the sky right above those countries—or better yet right above the very companies—who produce them and let them fry to their deaths. But as is the case with acid rain and so many other environmental problems, the effects don't stay local, accentuating the fact that we are all in this together and that we are going to have to start paying some attention to the air and water that we all share. To get back to Styrofoam, it is the easiest of the CFC-produced products to deal with, and that is why it is so frustrating that it is still being so widely used—even here at Longwood. It's just not necessary. Are we going to let our planet scorch because we don't want to bum our own fingers drinking coffee in the morning? (or coke?) People are going to be feeling more heat than that if CFC production doesn't stop. The biggest culprits are those gigantic companies which continue to produce CFCs (and seduce consumers with "alternatives" like HFCs and HCFCs which are just as harmful). By far the worst is DuPont. and their fat-assed, lazy chairman Edgar Woolard—but the least that small places like this college can do is refrain from supporting and perpetuating these disgusting habits by taking one small step and using only paper cups, or even actual glasses. Unfortunately this article has somewhat of an angry tone to it That is only because these are problems worth getting a little upset about. Please take just a second to consider what we are doing to the world every day and what we could be doing FOR it by transforming our anger and concern into actions—it's great to drink out of Earth mugs and not use the Styrofoam in the dining hall, but it would be even better not tohave the Styrofoam at all. Maybe our dining hall could finally get rid of it, and give some substance to LongWOOd'l Year of the Environment—wouldn't you agree?
life forms affected by out actions (or

BE A GOOD
Note: Even though safe and effective alternatives exist for almost all of the things CFCs are used for. and are already being used by other companies like Bosch, Liebherr, and Miele (in ozone-friendly refrigerators, for example), DuPont continues to produce ozone-destroying chemicals.

M U81C Jfdte& Pavement Pulsates At Peppermint By Jennie Fennell Editor In Chief Pavement is part joke, part eclectic toys, and part adrenaline. This five-member junk-rock band emitted so many different auras that the audience had no time for boredom. Looking around the room at the Peppermint Beach Club in Virginia Beach, all eyes were focused on the band the whole time. The first thing singer Scott Kannberg (who looked just like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, minus the beard and substitute the red hair for brown) did was fall over a drum, and he and the other members kept their humor throughout the performance. Preceding Pavement was Richmond's Coral, a band that droned on and on, receiving little positive response, and then the much-anticipated Helium This band played with a calm, composed style. Many were mesmerized by the singer's aestheticguitar style. "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain," Pavement's latest full-length release on Matador Records, still tops the college music charts. It lakes genius for a band to get such recognition when it's obvious that fame wasn't the original motive. "Silent Kit," "Gold Soundz," "Cut Your Hair," and "Range Life" were among those songs played live.
Audience participation was ongoing. It was as if many friends of the band were out there yelling. "Hey Steve! Play 'Summer Babe!'" That many requests were honored showed that they are not pretentious rock stars. Four out of the five members sang, and the screamer/auxiliary percussion artist pumped each droplet of energy into his performance as if he were being chased into Utopia. "Man, this is an absolute catharsis*. It's amazingl" said one guy behind me. The bass player smiled and extracted his inspiration from the spotlights above. I don't know if I was watching a group of boys who were trying to make their play-instruments go, or if I was a witness to an ethereal release of musical passion. I think ii was both, and with such spirit, I can'l understand how such a performance can be replicated! When they came to the line in "Range Life" that says, "... Out on the road with the Smashing Pumpkins . they don't have no function," they quit playing before reaching the verse. Someone from the audience yelled. "Hey! What happened to'The Smashing Pumpkins' part?" Kannberg answered with a wry smirk, "Uh. we like the Smashing Pumpkins." Pavement played plenty of songs off their veritable masterpiece,
"Slanted and Enchanted." The effects it has on fans are widespread. Jimmy Gnass from Norfolk said, "I love that album, but I just can't listen to it when I'm feeling down," while Amy Freeman, also from Norfolk, said, "Everything on 'Slanted' makes me feel so . . . happy. The arrangement of the songs is perfect." The penultimate song was "Fillmore Jive," the last song on the newest release. When I heard the lyrics, "I need to sleeeeep ..." I had faith that the band would not close with such a dreamy yet didactic song. During the encore, however, Pavement pulled a clever one: "I'm trying—I'm trying—I'm trying" went on and on in the heads of everyone there late into the night, I'm sure. "Carbon monoxide wallpapa" has got to be one of the most imagistic lines they've written. The cover art on the album is a juxtaposition of cut-out art and spontaneous words. "Take the 'L' out of 'world,' and all you have is 'word.' " appears on "Westing (By Musket and Sextant)." The collage art serves as a clever counterpart to the music. Pavement is not MTV's little pet project, be assured. Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" is on Matador Records, 676 Broadway New York, NY 10012.
By Catherine Berlin Staff Reporter Attending a night al the Chamber Music Series with a headache is not the most intelligent thing to do—especially if one is reviewing the concert. Tuesday April 5 at 8 p.m. in Wygal Recital Hall, the Monticello Trio performed three selections. Sonata for Cello and Piano Op. 40 by Dmitri Shostakovich, Duo for Violin and Cello Op. 7 from Zollan Kodaly, and Anton Arensky's Trio in D minor Op. 32. The Trio, consisting of pianist Tannis Gibson, violinist Mark Rush, and cellist Mathias Wexler, performed a preview for the Chamber Music Patrons while Wygal's lobby filled with eager music lovers. Crying babies wailed to strains of music barely audible through the closed doors that read "Do Not Enter- Concert in Progress." Finally at 7:50 p.m. the portals opened and students needing that recital attendance credit and residents of Farmville alike crowded inside to obtain seats. No one introduced the musicians to the audience. Ms. Gibson and Mr. Wexler strode confidently onto the stage and began to play. Their music faded in gently. Though the musicians played independently of each other rather than in support of each
