REM, Indigo Girls
visit A&M campus
for October concerts
How many AGGIES does it take to change your oil?
The MSC Town Hall committee
announced some big news for A&M
music fans last week. After months
of rumor and speculation, the com
mittee confirmed that REM will be
playing at A&M next month in sup
port of its Green album.
The stop is part of REM’s “colle
ge” tour, and the show will take
place on Sunday, October 29th at G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
Pylon, a band also from Athens,
Georgia who originally performed
the single “Crazy,” a song REM re
did on their 1987 Dead Letter Office
album, will open the show.
The concert is unique in that it is
the only Texas stop on the band’s
current tour leg.
Tickets for the concert cost S15
and will go on sale October 7 at the
Rudder Box Office.
The show, which features an ex
cellent opening band in Pylon, could
very well be the biggest musical
event of the year for A&M.
Today’s luxuries headed
toward tomorrow’s trash
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Before you buy that toaster oven,
designer teapot or luxury-model fax
machine, beware that they all could
become obsolete in the 1990s.
Also on the way out, in the opin
ion of designers, are disposable dia
pers, plastic foam coffee cups and
low resolution television sets, says
Metropolis magazine. The magazine
recently sent questionnaires to 150
designers around the country and
followed up with in-depth interviews
with 50 of them on the highs and
lows of design in the 1980s.
According to Susan Szenasy, edi
tor, reasons for the thumbs-down on
these indispensables of the ’80s vary:
The diapers and cups pose environ
mental hazards, conventional ovens
and toasters will make way for elec
tronic chip technology. Fancy tea
pots are a fad, and the TV as we
know it will give way to high resolu
tion technology and a much sharper
picture.
Expensive fax machines will get
cheaper, then toward the end of the
decade the fax will be pushed aside
by improved modems and comput
ers that will nudge us further towai d
a paperless society.
Szenasy says the magazine under
took the survey, published in its Oc
tober issue, “to find out what ad
vances design has made in the 1980s,
if any, toward improving the quality
of life. What we found out is that the
’80s was a very mixed decade.”
It was good because it offered a
lot of choices. It was bad because
there was so much to choose from.
“People bought more because things
looked attractive,” she said, “but
whether they really needed them re
mains a question.”
Designers say objects of the ’80s
they will remember with pleasure in
clude fax machines, personal ste
reos, the restaurant range for the
home, Filofax date books, track
lighting, remote control for tele
vision, ethnic crafts and compact
disc players. What they look forward
to in the ’90s are home offices and
computers that do more in both
home and office.
In interior design, the 1980s
seemed schizophrenic, said Szenasy.
“It supported the two extremes of
minimal Japanese design and ornate
reproductions.”
These two tendencies meet in
postmodernism, which uses all the
forms of the past but combines them
in a way that could never have oc
curred historically.
“This mixture means we don’t
really want the past,” she said. “We
just want its veneer, the emotional
appeal of something that we think
was better.”
High points of the 1980s, accord
ing to designers surveyed, were such
design-intensive products as profes
sional quality cookware and home
accessories from architects. A teapot
by postmodernist architect Michael
Graves is one example. They also
were impressed by the influence of
ergonomics in furniture, as rep
resented by the high-tech office
chairs that sell for as much as $800.
On the other hand, a number sin
gled out Post-it notes and the Dust
Buster vacuum, both inexpensive in
novations.
Kitchens are more attractive today
compared to the 1970s because of
the coordination of design details on
appliances and the much greater va
riety and good quality of cabinetry.
L/esigners say objects of
the ’80s they will
remember with pleasure
include fax machines,
personal stereos, the
restaurant range for the
home and Filofax date
books.
“The designer who many people sin
gled out was Phillipe Starck,” said
Szenasy. “They are betting that in
the future, people will see Starck as
synonymous with the ’80s.”
Furniture that appealed includes
the revival of the arts and crafts de
sign, rustic Adirondack styles and
the 1950s designs from the likes of
Charles Fames.
Designers think that the 1990s will
be the decade of environmental con
cerns.
“Almost everyone made some
comment about the environment,”
Szenasy said.
A significant comment, for exam
ple, was Agnes Bourne’s: “In the
’70s, I was very involved with recy
cling and natural foods. I even got
arrested for my beliefs. I’m not so
militant anymore, but I still have
those concerns. One of the tiny
things I’m doing is providing recy
cling bins in kitchens to deal with
waste management.”
“China Beach” gets new star
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Ricki
Lake smiles, which is most of the
time on screen and off, it’s not part
of the act.
T he 21-year-old actress has plenty
to smile about. She joins the cast for
the third season of ABC’s “China
Beach” as Holly Pelligrino, the do
nut dolly. She will work often with
Dana Delany, who just won an
Emmy for her portrayal of nurse
Colleen McMurphy.
She’s in the current movie release
“Cookie,” and “Cry Baby” is coming
out soon. Her happy face and zaftig
figure have brightened such movies
as “Hairspray,” “Working Girl,”
“Last Exit to Brooklyn” and TV’s
“Baby Cakes” in recent years.
“Holly’s well aware of why she’s in
Vietnam,” said Lake. “She's a smart
girl but she’s the baby of all those
there. Her perky energy makes the
guys happy. She reminds them of
home. But she also grates on Mc-
Murphy’s nerves, which is great be
cause we have a little conflict.
“McMurphy is moody and de
pressed. It’s great to play opposite
Dana. She has that edge that makes
her endearing. Holly’s happiness
should make her endearing, too.
Her happiness is just the way she is.
I’m pretty happy, too. I think we’re
pretty similar.”
Lake calls John Waters’ “Cry
Baby” a musical comedy about juve
nile delinquents in Baltimore in
1954.
“It’s a kind of warped ‘West Side
Story,’” she said. “I play Pepper,
who’s pregnant for the third time.
She just loves being pregnant. I
don’t get to sing in it. In fact, I don’t
sing in any of my films. But it’s the
first project I’ve ever been on that I
felt was going to be really, really
good.”

In other news, the MSC Town
Hall also announced the October 7th
show of Indigo Girls.
The popular college radio duo
will be playing at Deware Fieldhouse
in support of their self-titled debut
album. The show will cost S5 and
tickets can be purchased at the Rud
der box office.
October will also witness the arri
val of Ten Hands (on the 19th) and
Bad Mutha Goose (on the 12th) to
the Parthenon. Both are excellent
power-funk bands, and two of
Texas’ fastest growing indie groups.
Already big favorites in Houston,
Dallas, and Austin, both shows are
highly recommended to any and all
alternative ears who like to “funk
Well there it is. Hopefully some
excitement can be carried over from
these out of town shows to our own
local music scene. Either way, Octo
ber promises to be a happenin’
month for live music in College Sta
tion.
