Like Grant, he has an elegant manner, look and delivery. His music intrigues the listener with its seeming simplicity and pulsating rhythms. Palmer has managed to mix the new with old standards, creating a sound that's all his own and successful. His recent "Riptide'' album was num ber one and contained several hits in cluding "Addicted to Love" and "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On." He is currently on tour across the country in support of his first album for EMI-Manhattan Records. "Heavy No va." The new release shows every indica tion of following the success of “Ripti de." The tour, which will take Palmer to 60 cities, is a mix of old and new. with an incredible light show added. Palmer insists on a tour of one-night- ers. "I prefer it." said the 39-year-old Palmer. "When you have a night off. you lose momentum. We (the band) enjoy playing together and it takes a couple of weeks before the show starts to jell. “The dynamics of any show don't really start to pick up until you're out three or four weeks." he said. "The songs convey a mood, so the first few weeks you're just learning a part.” Palmer has been married 18 years and has two children. The family lives in Lu gano, Switzerland, after living 10 years in the Bahamas. "Heavy Nova" combines heavy metal with bossa nova. Palmer’s music reflects his interest in different rhythms from all over the world. That interest was cultivated while growing up on the island of Malta in the Mediterranean where he was exposed to sounds from Africa and the Middle East. "I collect music from all over the world.” Palmer said. "I have for 18 years." he said. "It helps in the real drought periods like Christmas when the music is not very in teresting." The different sounds of his childhood blend with the records from his parents' collection, such as Nat "King" Cole. Lena Horne and Peggy Lee. Songs they sang sometimes have a strange way of reappearing. “I had written this song and my mother called, so 1 played it for her." he said. "She said. ‘That’s another song.' I said. 'It can't be because I just wrote it.' A couple of days later she called back and played me ‘It Could Happen to You' Palmer will hold concert on campus Robert Palmer will perform his Simply Irresistible concert tonight in Rudder Auditorium at 8 p.in. About 400 tickets are still available from the MSC Box Office and Dil lards for $14. The concert is being sponsored by MSC Town Hall. For more information call 845-1234. by Peggy Lee. It was my song. I decided to record it. "I don’t sit down at my typewriter with an empty piece of paper and say. ‘I'm going to write a hit.' “I just get an idea." he said. “Songs are floating around in the air and I write them down. If there isn't any inspiration, the song doesn't get written. "I don't tailor my music to a certain market." Palmer said.“You want to write a song that you'll enjoy perform ing. “It would be horrible to write a song that you hated, only to have it become a hit and you had to play it all the time.” In addition to "It Could Happen to You" on the album, he has also recorded “Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming." which was originally done by the Jacksons. "We'd been doing it in the show for some time.” he said. “It was a good vehi cle for B.J. and me to sing. Then, I saw a video of us doing it and I thought. ‘That’s great.' so we recorded it.” Palmer's career has been one of steady gain since he launched his solo career on Island Records in 1974. He has had several hits including "Ev ery Kind of People." "Bad Case of Lov ing You" and "You Are in My System." It was Palmer’s voice (hat combined with John Taylor and Andy Taylor from Duran Duran in Power Station — which had three huge hits in the summer of 1986. Palmer opted not to tour with Power Station but instead recorded "Rip tide. His catalog of albums reflects his di versity. However, he doesn't indulge that in terest just to have a different sound. “I've some tapes and they would be considered weird but I wouldn't put them on a record.” he said. "Nobody would play them.” Palmer said. “If a song doesn't communicate, what's the point?

Grants this year total $992,190, in cluding individual grants ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. Dr. Robert L. Walker, A&M vice president for development, said many of these grants will be used immediately for programs that departments already have created. This is the second consecutive year the foundation has funded the recruitment- retention program. Because the foundation noticed a se vere shortage of black and Hispanic en gineers. most of the funds will be used for undergraduate engineering programs. Grants will be used for recruiting spe cialists to work with minority high schools and hiring counselors, tutors and workshop organizers. It also will be used to prepare special study places where students can study in teams. Lodwrick M. Cook, ARCO chairman and chief executive officer, said. "We have found that even with scholarships and other financial assistance, many mi nority youngsters enrolled in science, en gineering and business courses never complete their college education." he said. “While no single-funding source can solve the growing problem of minority under-representation in science and engi neering. we believe the spotlight must stay focused on the retention issue.” The foundation received applications from 40 institutions. "We are pleased to see that more col leges and universities recognized the need and applied for our grants,” Cook said. Twenty-two criteria were used by the foundation to evaluate the engineering grant proposals. Among the criteria are the strength of existing minority student programs, the percent of minority enrollment in engi neering and minority graduates, the per cent of minority engineering degrees and the academic disciplines being consid ered for support. Other Texas schools receiving funds arc Rice University. Southern Methodist University. Texas Tech University, the University of Houston and the University of Texas at Austin. farmer d&C/lf d/VddS hi inter t ntminu, id Director ofi tde Sooti/Ct-nCrof Ptpon ofitic Dcitnci Diction j/JnlUM^bdk price: $1.00 Thursday October 27 in 701 Rudder from 7:30 to 10:00 pd Texas A&M DEBATE Society Presents: PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE “WHO SHOULD BE ELECT- PRESIDENT : Bush or Dukakis? !
