Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, April 11, 1973 Resonance by Steve Grayson Cambodian Capital: A Quiet Town Wednesday A&M really has its stuff to gether. This weekend G. Rollie White Coliseum will turn into a gaint time machine and transport all the Aggies it can hold back to the year 1957. So who spoke last night to set the proper mood ? Why Rod Serling, of course. Actually G. Rollie won’t really turn into a time machine. But, almost as good, Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids are going to roll in with more slick hair, black leather jackets, and rock ’n roll than 1957 ever had. Flash Cad illac is pushing Sha-Na-Na for the number one 50s band in America and from the looks of things, they may have already made it. Its choreography is said to be over half the show. Last week I talked to a guy who saw Flash and the Kids a year ago. He said that even without music their show was worth the ticket price. Flash does have an album out, however. The first time I listened to it I figured that its show would have to be more exciting than the “Ben Hur” chariot race to make up for the audible portion. After my first round with that piece of greasy junk, I felt like I had to wash my hair immediate ly or I’d crack. So I turned it off, walked over to the 7-11, came back and put it on again. It was a little better then, at least I could set my plastic trash can down. So I went back to the 7-11 and then flipped it over to side two. Surprisingly, their stuff was ac tually listenable. Once more across the street and then I hit my ears full blast with “Teen age Eyes.” Wow! Flash Cadillac is great. 1 even like the real neat pics on the back of the album; what tuff looking guys. There’s even a note from Annette Funi- celle on it. (You remember An nette, the mouseketeer who was kicked out of the Mickey Mouse Club when she couldn’t get in her sweatshirt anymore.) And, zowie, the album also has a new version of “Pipeline” on it! Too much! And some times they even sing in harmony! How did I learn to appreciate the Continental Kids so much ? By putting away three six-packs, that’s how. It’s the only way to do it. They’re already coming, we can’t change that. So if you want to enjoy the show, you have to go half-smashed. The trick is that it has to be on beer. Remember, this is A&M, not t.u.

To see if you are capable of ap preciating theii’ stuff, try saying rapidly, “Be-bop-ba-boola-round- the clock.” If you couldn’t do it, then fine, you qualify. But if you said the whole thing, with mis takes or less, you’re too sober to be a real Flash fan. Fortunately, it is a fault easily remedied. One trip to the 7-11 should do it. PHNOM PENH — Anyone expecting to see Cambodia’s cap ital down on its knees finds in stead a quiet little town slum- bei-ing under the blistering Cam bodian sun. Some Phnom Penh residents still visit the Cafe de Paris and other fine restaurants to sip im ported beer or wine and slice into filet mignon. At the other end of the gas tronomic scale, rice supplies are adequate and government control keeps the price in line, despite stories reporting the capital suf fering from shortage, with Com munist-led forces practically at its gates. Enemy troops are in fact close to the city. Native Khmer Rouge rebels, aided by the North Viet namese and Viet Cong, have put on their biggest military cam paign against the Phnom Penh government in Cambodia’s three- year-old war. Every night and into the early morning hours, houses rumble from the force of bombs dropped by U.S. B52 bombers as close as 14 miles from the capital. American air support, military experts agree, is the only thing keeping the government from to tal military collapse. Since the offensive began in late January, the Communists have blockaded traffic along the Mekong River, Cambodia’s major supply line, and on every major highway leading into Phnom Penh. These blockades have caused the capital’s reserves of aviation, motor, cooking and lighting fuel to recede almost to the bottom of the storage tanks, whose capa city is good at best for six or seven weeks. For the last few weeks the government has been forcing fill ing stations to ration gasoline. For cooking, some Cambodians have turned to charcoal or wood instead of kerosene and naphtha. While rationing has been an inconvenience for motorists, the shortage never has reached the point where people had to aban don their cars on the road| lack of fuel. The arrival of{ oil tankers Sunday and Moni on the Mekong has eased j situation and Tuesday a fuelj lift into Phonm Penh’s Poclt tong airport began. The fuel shortage has not fected the electric power supf: Food remains in abundanci the city’s markets. Prices hi risen steeply in the last ii months—not because of shorty but because of Cambodia’s m away inflation. iiiiiiin REDWOOD Base Water 11 6al j on Repellant 11 €11111 MENNEN AFTER SHAVE SKIN CONDITIONER RELIEVES DRYNESS, RELAXES SKIN HELPS REPLACE WASHED.
