PARENTAL ADVISORY.” Retailers violating the law would face misdemeanor charges. The sticker would be affixed by the retailer directly on the pro duct, not on its plastic wrapping — a requirement retailers say would be burdensome. Along with a copy of his amendment, Gamble has sup plied legislators with examples of the type of lyrics he finds distress ing: words to songs by such ar tists as Prince (whom Gamble identified as a heavy-metal artist), WASP, The Who, Van Halen, Dead Kennedys, Elton John, 2 Live Crew and Guns N’ Roses. He has been less thorough in providing information on how the proposed law would work: By what criteria would music be jud ged “objectionable?” Who would make these rulings? Would coun try music and opera — riddled with references to adultery, alco hol and murder — be subjected to similar scrutiny? (Under a literal interpretation of Gamble’s bill, they would.) How would the law be enforced? Said one Philadelphia retailer, who asked that his name be with held, “This was classically ignor ant lawmaking, the kind of stuff we are having to expect in an elec tion year.” Since December, when the bill hit the Senate Rules Committee, representatives of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS) have been pointing out the flaws they see in Gamble’s amendment. Most senators, for example, had not been made aware of the bur den the bill would place on re tailers, who would have to review and place stickers on a back cata logue of as many as 20,000 titles, in addition to new releases that could number up to 70 titles a week. Nor had the lawmakers been made aware of voluntary labeling already in effect. “Our purpose in meeting with Ron Gamble and others was to give him facts he either didn’t have or chose to ignore,” said Mi chael Greene, president of NARAS. “I think (legislators) were (being) sold a one-sided bill.” Sen. Terry Punt, R-Franklin County, was among the law makers approached by lobbyists. When he was informed of the in dustry’s own labeling efforts, said Punt, “It made me wonder, do we need this? And if we do, should we put a label on the Bible?” Gamble predicts easy passage of his legislation, which he be lieves will reach the Senate floor "as soon as different groups we’re calling on (the Catholic Confer ence, the state PTA and the Penn sylvania Parents Commission) can apply enough pressure to the Rules Committee.” However, a spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader F. Joseph Loepet, laware County, said la that Loeper’s office had few requests from memt consider the bill, a ate may be reluctant ble’s sweeping legislation: place. In 'Addition, the man said, mail to Loeper’sdi running 4 to 1 in opposition' Gamble amendment. sign tit : to poti Tom Moon writes for Knlght-RlddiU Service. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ * ★ ¥ * * * * TOPSIDER TACK —An English Saddlery— Horse Care Supplies -k Blankets • English Equipment, * Clothing • New SEI Helmets + • Leather Goods • ■¥ *Now a Miller Dealer * ^ FM 2818 to Dowling to Hope's Creek Rd. + VISA/MasterCard 696-3989 Because All Desserts Are Not Created Equal 9 SWEET TEMPTATIONS 404 University Tues.-Fri. 9-6 pm 693-7381 Sat. 10-3 pm Me StitMenq STOREWIDE ‘EarCy (BirdSoli Saturday, March 31 40% OFF 10% OH 6 A.M. to 8 A.M. 8 A.M. to 5 P.M 809 UNIVERSITY DRIVE EAST • COLLEGE STATION • (409) Stw WHEN YOU'RE FACING A CRISIS, DON'T BE ALONE, CALL THE SANDSTONE CENTER COUNSELEVE All Day, All Night.
