It’s not very often that people leave concerts feeling really good. But most of the audience seemed to feel that way after singer/songwriter Anne Mur ray’s performance Thursday night in G. Rollie White Col iseum. Murray, from Novascotia, Canada, sang old hits, new hits, and a few songs not many peo ple have heard of, each tune bringing rounds of applause from the enthusiastic audience. Murray started the evening off with “Dreaming,” “Shadows in the Moonlight,” and “Love Song,” for which she won her first Grammy as best female vo calist. Then right when the audi ence was feeling mellow, she sang a fast, “You Make the Hot test Night of the Year a Little Bit Hotter.” Murray and members of the b&nd quickly learned that a ‘thumbs up’ sign was a sure fire way to get the audience to whoop, yell, whistle or clap. A song and dance to “Eve rything Old is New Again,” proved to the audience that de spite her self critisism, Murray did have some dancing ability. After a brief intermission and a costume change, she sang a song written by a lobster fish erman in Novascotia titled, “Mira River.” As a surprise to the audience, Murray introduced her ‘baby brother’, Bruce, who was sing ing backup, to sing two songs and a duet. Murray received a standing ovation for her recent number- one county single, “Sure Could Use a Little Good News Today.” “I’ve told people — and this is true — this is the best audi ence in the whole world,” said Murray, who performed at Texas A&M three years ago. “I didn’t have to be asked to come back twice.” After singing the long awaited “Snowbird,” Murray sang “You Needed Me,” which remains her favorite of the 200 songs she’s recorded. As an encore, she sang a song she said was a ‘close second’ to “You Needed Me’” titled, “Sen- tamental Favorite.” F run pro boli por kilo V ner: pou tore nal Olyi \\ mer s< By Photo by JOHN RYAN N< gie ( Anne Murray, in a concert sponsored by MSC Town Hall, performs in G.

Sunt iseur what legge and will h Educator speaks on intelligence game By CAROL WOLTMAN Reporter Maxine Greene, twice hon ored “Educator of the Year,” said Wednesday that different people have different types of intelligence, and educators need to acknowledge this diver sity to achieve excellence in ed ucation. Speaking to about 20 people in Rudder Tower, Greene said that reports showing drops in standardized test scores do not consider different types of in telligence other than scholastic intelligence. These scores say nothing about moral, ethical and artistic excellence, she said. “Education is the capacity to bring into being an increasingly articulate public,” she said. Ex cellence cannot be attained without expression, and there must be room for this personal interpretation, she said. Greene said that fostering in dividual perspectives within stu dents and teachers is the only way true educational excellence can be achieved. This means understanding the individuality of each student and working with it. Educators must be aware of their students back grounds as well as the popular culture, such as television and news that affect them, she said. Man gives up delegate seat to woman United Press International DON’T MISS IT! INDIANAPOLIS — Sen. Rich ard Lugar, R-Ind., voluntarily relinquished his delegate’s seat for the 1984 Republican na tional convention to a woman and challenged other males to do likewise. Republicans, unlike Demo crats, do not have a sex quota for delegates, and Lugar’s ac tion obviously was aimed at try ing to help answer the “gender gap” problem that has worried GOP politicians. In a letter to all 92 Indiana Republican county chairmen, Lugar, chairman of the Na tional Republican Senatorial Committee, expressed his worry and his proposed partial solution. Lugar and others know that Democrats this year have a good chance to regain U.S. Senate control. Nineteen GOP-held seats are at stake, compared to 14 held by Demo crats. “The political commentary of the last year has been domi nated by stories about the ‘gen der gap,’ the demonstrated preference of women voters for the Democratic Party and for many Democratic candidates,” Lugar wrote. “As active Repub licans responsible for our par ty’s future, we have a duty to ex amine this problem and to take all available steps to correct it. “In my role as Senate cam paign chairman, I have looked long and hard at the evidence on this subject,” he said. “The degree and the causes of the shortfall are open to debate, but the fact of its existence has, in my opinion, been proven be yond question.” Lugar coneded there is “no one simple solution to a prob lem this large.” He also noted that some steps already have been taken to lessen the gender g a P- “I applaud the strong cam paign by party leaders in In diana and nationally to recruit and elect more Republican women to office at all levels,” he said. “President Reagan’s excel lent record of appointing women to major administrative posts, and giving them high visi bility once in office, is another important initiative. “A third opportunity for pro- gess will come next summer when our party convenes in Dallas,” Lugar said. “Republi can women have traditionally been under-represented in the selection of national convention delegates.” Lugar said he offered his seat to a woman, adding, “I have never believed in asking others for efforts I am unprepared to make personally. Therefore, af ter some thought, I have in formed Gordon Durnil (In diana Republican chairman) of my wish that he not set aside the tradiional delegate’s seat for me in my capacity as Senator, in or der that my place might be available for one of the out standing women in our Indiana Republican Party. “Many of us have been lucky enough to be named delegates to one or more conventions in the past,” Lugar said. “I would hope that some other Hoosier Republicans who, like me, have had the opportunity before, will be willing to forego the priv ilege and let someone else have a chance this year. Indiana will have 52 dele gates to the National Republi can convention in Dallas Aug. 20-23 and in the past those del egates predominantly have been men. proje inten also t reput ice.
