Jasraj is a leading exponent of Mewati gharana (school of music). • • W 4". • • • • • Indian classical music takes center stage tonight in College Station. The Society for the Promotion of Indian Clas- sicat Music and Culture amongst Youth (SPIC- MACAY) will present at 7:30 p.m a Hindustani vocal concert by Pandit Jasraj at 201 MSC. "Listening to Pandit Jasraj sing, is an intense emotional experience," said S. Padmanabhan, the President of the Texas A&M SPIC-MACAY chapter. "You do not have to be familiar with the theory of Hindustani music in order to ap preciate Pandit. You can feel the music as you listen to him and you will be swept away into the world that he weaves for you." Jasraj is one of the foremost vocalists in the Hindustani or North Style of Indian classical music; Noted for his ability to sing in a wide vo cal range, Jasraj's talent for creativity in elabo rating rare ragas (combinations of notes) has made him extremely popular with the classical music loving audiences. He has performed the world -wide and is a Padma Bhushan award- winner, one of India's highest civilian honors. India has two forms of classical music-the North Indian or Hindustani and the South Indi an or Carnatic styles. The distinctive feature of Hindustani music is the freedom given to the artist to elaborate a particular raga. Commenting on the mission of SPIC- MACAY, V. Rajan, the treasurer of the organiza tion* said, "Our effort is directed toward sharing the diverse cultural tradition of India with the student population and the Brazos community." > ess the. lure). sjaMSuy .

The lack of origi nality became even worse when Crawl put on the denim overalls and white cowboy hat and at tempted the "easy" everyday chores of a farmer. Of course, the farm-hands try to discourage the city sticker with numerous pranks and intimidat ing body language. But after a disastrous day of bailing hay and bouts with ma nure, Crawl outsmarts them by putting on his rollerblades and breezing through a day's work. The resourceful tactics coming from Pauly Shore were a little hard to swallow. Nausea set in as Grandpa (Ma son Adams) and the rest of the farm folks began adopting the Pauly lingo. "Cool buuudddyyy" doesn't sound any funnier with a North Dakota accent than it does coming from Pauly Shore.
