The Roches ter, N.Y., Police Department set up a recruitment table early this semes ter. The school’s alumni include two dozen to three dozen police chiefs across the country. The Criminal Justice Center housed at Jay is sort of an advanced cop school, but students don’t take formal courses. It offers workshops and seminars on such things as hos tage negotiation, stakeout and sur veillance techniques, confidential in formants, clandestine drug labs, bomb awareness. The classroom is often the street. Forty percent of Jay’s students come from families that earn under $12,000 a year. They are older than most college students and md them work.

Following “Fast Moving Train” was “That Rock Won’t Roll,” “a song for all the ladies in the house.” The big moment in it was Stewart’s roam through the audience, from which he plucked a young, adoring fan, and subsequently serenaded her. It was interesting at that moment to wonder what would have become of Michael Stipe if he had been so dar ing a few weeks earlier. I don’t think he would have escaped clothed. The half-time show was one of the more enjoyable segments, although it did include Innis’ rump shaking. But it was nice to see that the band does not take themselves too se riously. A couple of tongue-in-cheek covers, a few pranks and good-na tured jokes, plus bass player Paul Gregg’s (a snappy dresser in de signer chaps and black hat) pony ride, added a nice touch of humor to the evening. From then on it was pure Restless Heart, combining country jams (“Hummingbird”) with their fusion of country/pop (“I’ll Still Be Loving You” and “New York (Hold Her Tight”)) that sounds more like Toto or Journey than any true country band. When it all was done, including a two-song encore that started with all five members wearing A&M sweat shirts, the band finally received their standing ovation. At this point I real ized how eerie country shows were. Three and a half hours passed before someone finally stood up and ap plauded one of these bands. I guess country is just a different animal, a quite perplexing one to me. Some might label it boring, but you would have been hard pressed to find anyone admit that Friday night. I enjoyed Baillie and the Boys and see no reason why Restless Heart can’t be the next Alabama. They have the perfect blend of honest fun. emotional ballads, sincere fan' port and good-looking studs lo> control of country music. Atthij of sounding hokey (there’s no: — 1 do), Restless Heart isjusi “Fast Moving Train.” YEEHAB Photo by Phelan M.
