A t the “Worldil n fair to f staff photo by John Makely Zander of Cheap Wednesday night. Trick by Rebeca Zimmermann Battalion Staff It took Cheap Trick a while to get going Wednesday night, but — as lead guitarist Rick Nielsen would say — guess what? It final ly did. After a slow start with songs not so well known, a junior- high-school boy actually made the evening. About halfway through the performance, Nielsen hauled the boy out of the first row, put him onstage and told him to sing. He sang all right — a Van Halen song. From then on, the concert picked up. The last half of Cheap Trick’s performance was the best. It included the hits “She’s Tight,” “If You Want My Love,” “Can’t Stop the Music” and “Dream Police.” Lead singer Robin Zander’s vocals were in great form on “If You Want My Love.” His a cap- pella beginning to “Can’t Stop the Music” was powerful and effective. Zander acted out some of the lyrics on the title song from the group’s new album, “Next Position Please,” and was thoroughly entertaining on “Dream Police,” probably the best number in the concert. The audience demanded two encores — and got them, shout ing along on the “We’re all right” chorus to “Surrender.” In the second encore, Cheap Trick played a newly released single, “I Can’t Take It,” and its version of the Beatles’ “Day Tripper.” Throughout the concert, lyrics were difficult to under stand. Zander’s voice frequently was lost amid the pounding guitar parts. On the first three songs of the this year,aii he “World’si Some deal achry pedestrian problem researched ! sideshow,!

There are nearly 2,000 park ing spaces in parking lots 50 and 51 near Zachry Engineering Center. Early in the morning, the flow of pedeytrians from these lots causes traffic on Biz- zell Street to back up sometimes as far as University Drive. Ron Palermos, the author of the bill suggested two possible solutions to the problem. The first suggestion was to have a University policeman act as a crosswalk guard during the heavy traffic times. Palermos’ second suggestion was to build an overhead cros sramp, but this is unfeasible due to cost. i see the h: “Giant Ajj) red on ormitones, rr Bill," and 1’s Lowest Sc® liSC recommends fund r gifts from alumni by Connie Hutterer Battalion Reporter The Graduate Student Coun- Tfl n :il decided Wednesday to re- I w t * ial Texas A&M offi- jials establish a gift fund for winni who want to enhance the University’s academic appear- laundromaliKf; ■The CSC will submit a resolu- fen to the Development Council ey won’t Id 'recommending that the Univer- s in the wasliijity set up a specific fund for i|erous alumni who may not aweirdschoflltnow where their gifts are t from the.W^ded, vice-president Cliff 1 flew tip frol^ ton sa 'd.

And “Voices” — an un heralded classic — was excellent, although Zander’s voice again was lost part of the time. Nielsen entertained the crowd with his usual antics. He threw guitar picks, a shirt, album covers and two cups of water at the audience. People were crawling around on the floor like ants, fighting for picks. Review Zander made use ot his famous stare his knack of appearing to look right at you. He looked a little more emaci ated this year. Drummer Bun E. Carlos continued his usual prac tice of flipping lit cigarettes onto the stage. The vocals and instrumentals carried the show. Sounding like a cross between Triumph and Rush, this group’s harmonies were excellent. Lead guitarist and vocalist Randy Jackson was outstanding, on uitar and vocals. Bass guitarist/ eyboardist/vocalist Felix Hane- mann and Jackson have voices that are well matched. The group’s balance was as excellent as the instrumentals and vocals. Although the group has been together for some time, Zebra only recently has released its de but album, “Zebra.” Only a few songs were familiar to the crowd. “Tell Me What You Want,” a video seen on MTV, seemed to wake up the audi ence. “The La La Song,” open ing with a cappella harmonies, was a pleasure to hear. Pounding away with both feet and both hands, drummer Guy Gelso gave the crowd a reason to jump to its feet and go crazy on “The La La Song.” Using an ela borate drum set including two bass drums, Gelso demonstrated his immense talent. OCA positions still available by Bonnie Langford Battalion Staff It is not too late for students living off-campus to get their apartment complex repre sented in Off-Campus Aggies, the OCA vice president said during Wednesday. People interested need to have a general meeting in their complex, hold elections for offices and let OCA know about the group, vice presi dent Stacey Roberts said dur ing the regular OCA meeting. The only requirements OCA has are that councils attend workshop sessions and distri bute flyers within their com plexes. “After they meet these two requirements,” Roberts said- ,“they can run their own group and plan parties and activities for their complex.” An apartment council was added for Tanglewood South Apartments. Also discussed was the bon fire centerpole, which is going to be raised today. OCA needs 30 people to be there so the group can hold a tagline, bon fire chairman Mike Golladay said. Taglines are the ropes that hold the centerpole as it is being raised. “This is an opportunity that not even RHA gets,” Golladay said, “so I urge all off-campus students to grab a hard hat and show up.” OCA will have a cutting-site hot dog roast at noon on Oct. 22. The cost will be $2. Plans for the Nov. 5 street dance were announced at the meeting. KTAM and KORA radio stations will provide music for the dance. Proceeds from the dance, OCA’s first money-raising event for the fall, will go to the United Way Fund. OCA also discussed its first special project for the fall, which is to encourage off- campus students to donate blood during the campus blood drive Oct. 24-27. Bass guitarist Jon Brandt’s stage presence has improved since the group last performed in G. Rollie White Coliseum. He appeared to be much more re laxed and confident onstage. Cheap Trick had a tough act to follow: Zebra. The three-man group from New Orleans is quite impressive. Band mem bers weren’t dynamic onstage, but they really didn’t need to be. Adding a nice change of pace, Jackson used an acoustic guitar for the last song, “Who’s Behind the Door,” to get the crowd standing again. After this group finished, the audience seemed rather dazed. Zebra had that kind of impact. And after Cheap Trick — de spite the slow start — the mood was just plain happy.
