Page 6/The Battalion/Thursday, November 3, 1983 Baker says 'I'm a slob’, makes a best-dressed list United Press International WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Howard Baker, shocked at being named the second-best dres sed man in government, Wednesday confessed to his colleagues that “I am a slob.” The small Tennesseean said he has no taste in clothes and admitted his wife, Joy, makes him stand inspection in the morning before leaving their home. Baker discovered his new honor in reading the Washington Post, which ran a brief item on a poll conducted by the Tailor’s Council of America. President.Reagan “barely” beat Baker, with former vice president and Democratic presidential contender Walter Mondale in third place. “I have had a lot of sur prises in my life but never as big as the surprise which faced me this morning before breakfast,” Baker said at the start of the day’s session. Baker, dressed in a shape less brown suit with his coat unbuttoned, told the Senate, “I want to say I have absolutely no taste in clothes. “During the Watergate hearings, I was flooded with gifts of clothing because peo ple were ashamed to see me representing the forces of light and reason in my chosen attire,” he said. Baker said he began to wonder about the poll but then noticed some of the choices in other categories.

Lopez Battalion Staff Jimmy Buffet’s magical pow ers were in prime form Wednes day night at G. Rollie White Col iseum. And as a result, Buffet put a spell on the crowd and took them on a trip to several well- known Buffet hangouts — like a sleezy bar, a beach party, the Caribbean, four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze and, yes, Mar- garitaville. The trip was a success. The key ingredient in Buf fet’s successful potion Wednes day night was his ability to com municate with the audience like each person was his long lost friend — both during and be tween songs. Buffet staged his show simp ly, but the props served their purpose. The 37-year-old opened his performance with some of his older songs in what was prob ably a very familiar setting for Buffet — a dimly lit bar com plete with drunks and ceiling fans. Songs like “Grapefruit Juicyf- ruit,” “Son of a Son of a Sailor” and “I Wish I had a Pencil-thin Moustache” may not have had the crowd dancing in the aisles, but certainly were performed to near perfection by Buffet and his Coral Reefer Band. The acoustics in the coliseum were the only hindrance to Buf fet’s familiar laid-back sound, but the set was successful never theless. His style and sound dur ing the first set could have easily prompted visions of tall mugs of beer and billiard parlors. But that was not to last. Dur ing Buffet’s second set, the beat picked up and Buffet trans formed the coliseum to a beach party that played “bootleg Buf fet tapes.” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Changes in Attitude” and “I Don’t Know Where I’m Gonna Co,” were three songs that prompted the crowd to give Buffet deserved standing ova tions. Buffet’s show was simple. Ex ploding bombs and glaring lights were nowhere to be found, but that’s not Buffet’s style anyway. Buffet kept things simple and direct — that’s his style.

Just ask him, Buffet will tell you about what he did the first time a song of his (“Come Mon day”) becah'ie ; II hit. “I bought a Falcon converti ble, got my dog out of the pound and the rest is history,” Buffet told the audience. In short, Buf fet accomplished exactly what he set out to do Wednesday — he entertained. Not without a good support ing cast, though. There are new faces in the Coral Reefer Band on Buffet’s current tour, but Josh Leo, Tim Schmidt and Co. did better than average jobs sup porting Buffqt. What was perhaps the most pleasant surprise during Buf fet’s performance was good sounding songs off his new album, “One Particular Har bour.” Buffet’s style on songs like “Livin’ It Up," and the title cut, “One Particular Harbour,” hasn’t changed from the sound achieved on early Si albums.
