Page 6 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1980 Farmer sure grain sales near United Press International DALLAS — The president of the \merican Farm Bureau Federation lecried President Carter’s Soviet p-ain embargo Thursday. But he said te had faith the administration — in in election year — would be able to ;ell the embargoed grain elsewhere. Robert Delano, a grain farmer fom Warsaw, Va., said embargoes un counter to everything farmers md ranchers stand for. “They wreck markets, encourage government of private businesses and create international confusion and doubt,’’ he said. But Delano said, “This is 1980, an election year.” “I think the administration will do its best to sell our agricultural pro ducts to other countries,” he said. Delano, in Dallas for a regional farm bureau meeting, said the embargo, imposed because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, would cost American consumers ab- CE zzzxaczxxxsM CAMPUS THEATER Now Showing 7:45 & 9:45 Admission $2.50 Adults Child $1.50 846-6512 (original motion picture%corb,on entw acte records ( A WARNER BROS./ORSOtl PICTURES RELEASE thru WARNS?

He predicted the action would hurt American farmers and people far more than the Soviets. “The Soviet people are used to less. They will accept a lesser diet,” he said. Delano also chastized the Interna tional Longshoremen’s Association for refusing to load grain not in cluded in the embargo onto Russia- bound ships. “Mr. Carter’s decision to com plete our agreement (to ship 8 mil lion tons of grain to the Soviet Union) must not be short-circuited by the actions of longshoremen,” he said. The American Farm Bureau Federation and the Texas and Kansas state farm bureaus have charged the ILA with conducting a secondary boycott by refusing to load the grain. Delano called this an unfair labor practice. Delano predicted the ILA ulti mately would be required to load the 2.5 million tons of grain yet to be shipped in the 8-million-ton commit ment made in 1975. Basement presents Nanci Griffith tonight i Referring to the federation’s suit to reclaim nearly $2 million in feder al grants made to Cesar Chavez’s Un ited Farm Workers, Delano said the federation hopes to set legal prece- 1 dent in restricting the government’s use of tax funds to support union organizing. jf ^ ¥-¥-¥-¥-¥"¥‘-¥‘¥-^-¥-¥-¥-¥*-¥■-¥ * * if * if * * * * if Jf * * * * * if )f * * if * * * * * * * * * * * * >f * * * >f * * * * MANOR EAST 3 MANOR EAST MALL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MIDNIGHT All seats $1.50 A NOW STORY WITH NOW MUSIC! * * ♦ t * * * ★ * * * * * ★ 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c By TIM JASEK Campus Reporter Progressive country singer Nanci Griffith will perform tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Basement Coffee house. Griffith, 27, is from Austin, but she has played outside the city limits often enough to spread her popular ity over the state. She has performed her style of progressive country music as far away as the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Ark., and as close as Grins Beer Garden in Bryan. Griffith has been playing acoustic guitar since she was 7, and started performing professionally when she was 15. “Tve always dreaded the classifica tion of folk music,” Griffith said, pointing out that though her music is country, it is definitely not “hard core” country. “Sometimes I like to play by my self,'’ Griffith said, “and other times I like to have a full band. ” Griffith considers herself more of a songwriter than a singer. “It seems most of my songs were written in Houston because I get a different perspective about the way things are going on around me when Tm there,” Griffith said. Although in Austin, she was fea tured with three other local artists on a “Sampler” album produced by B.F. Deal Records, Inc. Also on the B. F. Deal label is Grif- fith’s “There’s a Light Beyond These Woods.” Of the nine songs on the album, Griffith wrote seven. Though her commercial success has been limited, Griffith said “more important to me is respect for what you do as an artist. “I can’t play unless I can look at someone’s eyes and really see what they’re feeling. Sometimes it hurts, too, when I see they’re not in terested in what I tell them. But it’s still an important thing to me,” she said. "In a club,” Griffith said, "tit musician is just an afterthought. U quor is the first thing. It’s a realchil- lenge because I don’t ever wanttole an afterthought. I’m not theretopb to myself.” Griffith has been as regular perfor mer at Austin’s Hole in theWallit the past, but she wants to broaden her scope. “I like Waco and Fayetteville, Arkansas,” she said, "and theres nice music scene in the Montrose area of Houston where people are interested in hearing what you have to say.” Griffith said she likes the traveling involved with spreading her music “You never get tired of your friend and they never get tired of you,"sle said. Tickets for Griffith’s performances are on sale for $2 at the Rudder Boi Office. Both S p.m. shows will open with Lyle Lovett, a senior journalism major from Texas A6cM who has played at most of the clubs in tom, I got Ten the ing wil pre cro da) rep for yel ing rer the the tri TE sid of sh< tra 10' thi .the movie coming at you at the speed of sound I MICHAEL BHANDON • EILEEN BRENNAN ■ ALEX KARRAS • CLEAVON LITTLE MARTIN MULL'CASSIE YATES r 1 *' 1 LINDA RONSTADTand JIMMY BUFFETT nammes t| I ulieiiomStr 1 STEELVOAN iimitn wxn’ Now a JOVt took i' h«h dill Min' ud» mu uiurttM* i Dtlme 2 ittoid stt w MCA (ecoifls and lapts | PGIpmoiui GUIDANCI SUCGfSKD □□ DOLBY STEREO This is your only chance to see semester.
