King Crimson's unique sounds
set standards for other groups
By VICK GRIFFIN

In the late 60s, King Crimson's startling and unique
fusion of rock and symphonic arrangements captured
on their brilliant debut album. In The Court of the
Crimson King, set the standard for a host of followers
and imitators. Groups like Yes, Genesis and latecomers
Journey, ELO and Kansas adopted the orchestral-rock
or art-rock sound with differing degrees of success.
Through the years. King Crimon's personnel changed
with almost every album, as did its music. By 1975, the
year of Crimson's breakup, the sweeping, choral arrang
ments of its earlier work had been ditched for a harder
sound. Yet King Crimson still managed to maintain the
complex and rich textures found in the first album.
The latest incarnation of King Crimson rocked the
Agora Ballroom in Atlanta on Friday, Nov. 13 with a
lineup featuring guitarist and founding father Robert
Fripp, drummer Bill Bruford from earlier Crimson
groups and newcomers Tony Levin and Adrian Belew.
In the course of 90 minutes the foursome laid claim for
best band and best album of the year.
The only difference between King Crimson on vinyl
and in concert is that one can see the. technical virtuosity
in live performance. Fripp and company play with
power and emotion, elements often hidden in a studio
recording. Preferring to let the music stand on its own
merit, Crimson's stage show was notable only for the
absence of frills and gimmicks.
The show opened with "Discipline," the title cut
from the new album. The piece builds upon a series of
Order of the Gingko is
a satire of honoraries
By LYNN EARLEY
DTH Staff Wriler
Their principles are high and their
motivation holy. At least, that's what the
Order of the Gingko bylaws say.
The Order of the Gingko, an officially
recognized campus organization, plans
today to cultivate its purporse of "preser
ving and protecting the great Gingko
tree," members of the Order said last
week.
At 1:30 p.m. the Physical Plant will
help the Order's plans take root by plan
ting a Ginko tree by the School of Public
Health.
This tree, described in the bylaws as
having "glory and spiritual quality," will
join the other six known Gingko trees on
campus.
Gingko trees can be regarded as "living
fossils," according to the Encyclopedia
Britannica.
"It's relatively low on the evolution
scale in comparison to tKe r har3wobd
trees," Matt Matthews, one of the four
Gingko officers, said.
The Order holds festivals at least once
a semester. A fairly large crowd gathered
at the last festival, said Greg Glasby,
another officer.
"There were at least 45 participating
members at the last party," he said.
The Order buys a key of "the golden
nectar," and the members throw foot
ball, play music, throw frisbee and con
sume the golden nectar, Glasby said.
The group could be called a satire of
honoraries and their rules and regula
tions, Matthew said. But the Order wants
to expand its role and plants to hold a
bloodmobile and do other service pro
jects. Service is a part of most of the
member's lives because the majority are
members of Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed
service fraternity.
Glasby described the group a little dif
ferently. He said, "We're primarily an
ecological honorary organization."
The original four members of the socie
ty planted the seeds for the group in 1977.
They gave themselves the title Four Tops
and added titles for each new member as
the organization grew, said Matthew and
Glasbv, two of the current Four Tops.

repeated riffs which increase by half-steps. The selection
lends credence to Fripp's theory, stated in Musician
magazine, that repetition can be as effective musically as
dramatic changes.
The new album is far removed from the baroque styl
ings of the early years and the instrumental wanderings
of mid-70's material such as Starless and Bible Black or
Red. Shorter pieces and tribal rhythms dominate the
Discipline.
"Elephant Talk," a tongue-in-cheek exercise in
alliteration, is one example of this change. Another ex
ample is the darkly humours "Thela Hun Ginjeet" in
which New York becomes a metaphor for the jungle. In
both instances, Bruford's churning African percussions
propel the songs and add a definitely danceable beat.
The one drawback to the inclusion of these selections in
the Atlanta concert was that the spoken lyrics, which
were on tape, were muddled and lost in the noise of the
Agora. .
Besides premiering a new song 'Neal and Jack and
Me," the band included two compositions from earlier
days the guitar rave-ups "Red" and "Lark's Tongue
in Aspic, Pt. 2." Belew and Levin, playing intensely,
captured the spirit of these songs perfectly. And Fripp's
frenetic guitar-playing highlighted these two selections.
Fingers flying up and down the guitar's neck, he would
rise out of his customary seat on his barstool on par
ticularly involved passages.
"The Sheltering Sky," also from Discipline, is a
brooding introspective piece. It builds on Bruford's
steady percussion, adding layers of guitar, bass, and
guitar synthesizers, before finally returning to the intro.
Also complementing the louder songs is "Mattee
Kudasai," a lovely, haunting ballad. And "Frame by
to have their own organization for
general drinking and carousing," ; Mat
thews said. "They decided that it had to
have a purpose, so they chose the Gingko
tree. The purpose of the Gingko is to
preserve and protect the Gingko tree."
To reach this goal, the bylaws set out
specific duties for each officer. One of
the Four Tops has the title Omniscient
Omnipotent Grandest Supreme Mulch.
According to the bylaws, "He shall be
everywhere and shall use his almighty
power to preserve this society and the
sacred Ginko Tree." The OOGSM is not
permitted to wear alligators on his person.
Another Four Top is the Extreme Ex
alted High Mulch Excelsior. The EEHME
"shall perform such duties as his title may
require in addition to washing the Gingko
Tree on Sunday afternoons."
The Grand Imperial Chainsaw Inter
ceptor, Keeper of the Rake, Extreme
Grand Mulch and Keeper of the Papyrus
- Root are some of the other officers in the
"Order.
The purpose of the Grand Imperial
Chainsaw Interceptor is to attempt to
- abolish the Homelite Chainsaw Com
pany. "He shall use his speed and dexteri
ty to intercept all chainsaws that are ap
proaching the Gingko Tree," according
to the bylaws.
The Keeper of the Papyrus Root shall
"periodically send obscene letters to all
who do not agree with our beliefs (if we
have any)," the bylaws read.
The Keeper of the Papyrus Root sent
one letter to the editor of The Daily Tar
Heel, Matthews said.
"One time some art students dropped
some color threads over the tree, and the
original Four Tops wrote a letter to the
editor saying someone had tied down the
up-swept branches of the Gingko Tree
and they had exactly 24 hours to remove
the threads or the said threads would be
destroyed," he said.
The Order took action against another
threatening problem, Matthew said.
"Back in the 77-'78 Yack, the editor,
Ted Kyle, refused to put the Order of the
Gingko in the honoraries section. So once
we found out he was going to do that, we .
hung an effigy in the tree," he said.
"There's a picture of that in the '79-'80
Yack."

Raleigh Little Theater's play
successfully portrays trauma
of Jewish family in war
By TOM MOORE
DTH Staff Writer
Perhaps the most poignant memoir of
World War II is The Diary of A nne Frank.
Anne Frank, a 13-year-old Jewish girl,
her family and four other people went in
to hiding in an atti? in Amerstand Hol
land in 1942.
In her diary, Anne recorded the rigors
of such confinement hopes and fears
of the two years she spent living in the
face of possible hbrror. Soon after the
Normandy Invasion, the refugees in the
attic were discovered and shipped off to
different concentration camps and of
that small group only Anne's father,' Ot
to Frank, survived.
Returning to the attic he discovered
Anne's diary and had it published.
Anne's diary became a symbol of the
turbulent and terrible years of the war in
Europe. A best-seller in several different
languages, the diary was converted into a
play in the mid-1950's.
The Raleigh Little Theatre's produc
tion of this play manages to successfully
convey the difficult confinement of
Anne Frank, her family and the others.
The play is serious such things as the
paltry nourishment of the group and
their fear of making too much noise ancL
catching the attention to Nazis are con
veyed but it is a play of great humor
too, the various ways that the characters
drive each other nuts are correctly played
for laughs. It is this humor that makes
the characters so likeable and thus makes
their final fate all the more terrifying.

A drawing from Crimson's debut album
... 'In The Court of the Crimson King'
Frame" is another rocker, featuring rapid changes in
pace and tone, dominated by Fripp's repeated riffs and
Bruford's staccato drumming.
With the addition of Belew and Levin, this may very
well be the best version of King Crimson. Belew, whose
background includes stints with Bowie, Frank Zappa
and Talking Heads, is an excellent guitarist and more
than competent vocalist.
Tony Levin, on the stick, spits out bass lines like fly
ing projectiles. The stick, and eight string variation of
the bass, gives him the flexibility to play both high and
low frequencies, creating a unique sound.
The versatility and talent of King Crimson is such that
its music would shine either in a five hundred seat club
or a 20,000-capacity areana with no loss of clarity. The
one problem King Crimson faces is one it has encoun
tered before an unresponsive public. Fripp and com
pany will never compromise on their music, so it's up to
the listeners to make the effort to understand and ap
preciate the King Crimson phenomenon.
That the Raleigh Little Theatre's pro
duction brings out all this in the produc
tion of The Diary of Anne Frank is due
to L. Newell Tarrant's direction of a fine
cast Ann Smallwood makes a good Anne
Frank, ably impersonating a sometimes
rambunctious and sometimes serious
teenager.
But Smallwood's role is the key to the
play and she brings it off well. She is
strongly backed by Harvey Bumgardner,
who plays Anne's father Otto, and seems
the strong and courageous man the part
calls for. Bumgardner's only fault, one
common to many actors, is a German
like accent that he meanders in and out
of in his readings and that he would be
better off without.
Julia EDer, who plays Mrs. Frank; de
serves, special praise for her handling of
. the part. EUer brings dignity to her part
as the strong-but-silent mother. Only the
most observant could tell that EUer was
using a script, having had to fill-in at the
last minute, for the ailing Sadie Park. - ..
Also fine are Cheri Vamadoe as Anne's
sister Margot, Lynne Anchors-Hurder as
the neurotic and boastful Mrs. Van
Daan, Harold Rouse as her hen-pecked
husband .and Stephen Rantz as their
troubled son, Peter. Dennis Rogers, the
News and Observer columnist, gives a
great comic turn as the grouchy and
irksome Mr. Dussel. The cast is nicely
rounded out by Cederic Hepler and
- Sadie Park in two small roles.
The Diary of Anne Frank runs
through Dec. 6 at the Raleigh Little
Theatre on Pogue St. in Raleigh.
Public service announcements must be turned into the box outside DTH offices in the Carolina Union by

Carbon Copy is a refreshing, tender
and insightful examination of society's
current attitudes towards racial prejudice
and interracial relationships. These mes
sages are successfully delivered through
Stanley Shapiro's screenplay which en
ables one to laugh and learn at the same,
time.
The story centers around successful
California businessman, Walter Whitney
(George Segal). When he is confronted by
a black youth .(Denzel Washington) who
claims to be his son, his solid world
begins to crumble.
Whitney is fired by his father-in-law
when the fact of Whitney's black son is
revealed. With no money, no friends, and
no one in town willing to hire him, Walter
hits the streets and literally finds out how
the other half lives. Taken from his stale
life, Walter learns a great deal from his
newly found son, Roger.
Carbon Copy possesses several
strengths which together make the film
worthwhile. Foremost is the performance
of Denzel Washington as Roger. Washing
ton's ability to conceal his character's
emotions, motives and intelligence make
his performance noteworthy.
The film's witty, snappy dialogue is
another bright spot in the film. The
characters make clever, humorous com
ments about race relations, comments
which lead one to think objectively. For
Arab League support

The Associated Press
FEZ, Morocco Most Arab League
members favor Saudi Arabia's Mideast
peace, plan, but opposition from hard
liners will . probably prevent the league
from formally endorsing it, conference
sources said Monday.
The debate over Crown Prince Fahd's
eight-point plan, which has received,
favorable comments in Washington and
European capitals and condemnation
from Israel was taking place behind clos
ed doors before Wednesday's opening for
the 20-nation league's summit. The Pales
tine Liberation Organization is also a
member of the league.
The seventh of Fahd's eight points pro
poses - "recognition of the v right of all
states in the (Middle East) region to live in
peace" under U.N. guarantees!. The Rea
gan administration has said the wording
is a major step because it implies recogni
tion of Israel by the Saudis, who have
considered it a "Zionist entity."
A highly placed source at the meetings
here who asked not to be identified said
most league members favored the Fahd
plan, but that "determined opposition"
from the hard-liner minority could block
its formal approval by the summit later in
the week.

example, Whitney is told by the family's
pastor that "God is white. His son is
white. That is simple logic." Segal snaps
back, "No it isn't. I'm white and my son
is black." ,
And the crafty dialogue is at times a bit
philosophical. For example, in one of his
father-son talks, Segal offers an explana
tion for society's actions: "People always
sway with the wind. Right now the wind
blows white, not black." There are
several contemplative statements, and
fortunately they never approach
melodrama. '
Jack Warden's portrayal of the father-in-law,
the personification of prejudice, is
a necessary element in the film. Warden
epitomizes all the logical, practical, but
ultimately false justifications for preju
dice. "Winner and losers, that's what hfe
is all about," Warden says of minorities.
"Some people were just meant to lose."
Carbon Copy's only severe drawback is
in George Segal's portrayal of Walter
Whitney. Segal's manner is simply too
nonchalant to be credible. He is under
standing, but his performance lacks the
necessary depth of feeling. This makes it
difficult to believe that anyone would
handle the situation as Walter does.
Carbon Copy is an intelligent, amusing
discussion of current mores. Segal and
Washington work well together because
each of their characters personifies the
other's weaknesses, and then helps the
other overcome them.

plan among his fellow ministers, while
PLO leader Yasser Arafat was in Saudi
Arabia, reportedly discussing it with King
Khaled and Prince Fahd. Fahd himself
, was expected to lead the fight for the plan
at the summit.
Arafat has been on tour of Arab capi
tals and has expressed cautious approval
of the plan. But his chief foreign policy
adviser, Farouk Khadoumi, surprised
Prince Faisal during private talks here
with a generally negative position on the
plan, conference sources reported.
Khadoumi told reporters the seventh
point of the plan was unacceptable to the
PLO, which is a member of the Arab
League, as long as it was not accom
panied by "explicit guarantees" from the
big powers, particularly from the United
; States.. .. .
Khadoumi did not spell out what gua
rantees he had in mind, but he said total
American and Israeli acceptance of every
part of the plan was also essential for
PLO acceptance.
Israel has rejected the plan. The plan
proposes the creation of a PLO-led
Palestinian state in areas held by Israel
since the 1967 war; Israeli withdrawal
from East Jerusalem, the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip; dismantling of all Jewish
settlements established in the West Bank
under Israeli occupation, and the right of
Palestinians to return to their former
homes.
