I All Human Rights Week events are listed in a separate schedule elsewhere in today's paper Folksy Bonnie Raitt just stunning live Despite the attempts of many pro ducers, singer Bonnie Raitt has never achieved anything near fame in the record industry. Her fine performance Sunday night in a sold-out Memorial Hall exhibited the talents that so many studio executives have seen but so few recordings have been able to capture. Jnthe studio, .Raitt's infectious warmth is obscured arid her unwaver ingly deep voice often comes across as somewhat banal. Her live performan ces, however, exploit these qualities to brilliant effect, displaying Raitt as a campy R & B figure who can pack a stunning vocal punch. Sunday night's concert was no exception. Backed by her Bump band, including especially fine keyboard and saxophone players, Raitt strutted and mock-sidled through a two-hour set of impressively diverse material. The three numbers opening her show "Landslide," "Standing by the Same Old Love," and NRBQ's "Green Light" were uniformly excellent. Each offered Raitt an upbeat format in which she could display her talent on the slide guitar. However a brief medley of blues songs, followed by a switch to acoustic guitar for the song "Angel from Mont gomery," provided the best showcase for Raitt's vaguely raspy, folk-trained voice. "Angel" in particular created a magical concert moment. Joined on stage by Will MacFarlane for the the great american smokeout J U Li U U U I COIXBCxE BOWL TOURNAMENT FINALS!

There were a few songs that received less-than-memorable renditions. Her cover of "Runaway," a near-hit single several years ago, featured meandering vocals and extended improvisations that attempted to make the song more soulful but only robbed it of its melpdicism The same problems marred her closing number, NRBQ's "Me and the Boys." There were regrettable hints in Raitt's performance that she was trying to update her folksy, bluesy image. She wore an uncharacteristically up-to-the-minute outfit including bright red boots and a jacket of the same color. And "Freezing for a Little Human Love," the sole sampling from a forthcoming album, placed Raitt's homespun vocals in an awkward atmosphere of sythes ized keyboards. While Raitt's selection of material proved imprudent at times, her remar kable rapport with the audience never faltered. Where many lesser talents would have resorted to theatrical effects to compliment their performances, Raitt exhibited a good humor that money can't buy. Characteristic of her frequent jests was the introduction of the band's drummer, whom she said had played with Bette Midler and Rickie Lee Jones "all preparing for me."

Raitt mentioned that her Chapel Hill appearance marked the last show of a long tour. Her exuberance seemed a determination to go out in style.

Lobby Sponsored by University Career Planning & Placement Services Division of Student Affairs and the Division of Health Sciences Local day-care usinesses By SONYA TERRELL Staff Writer Unrecognizable finger paintings, play telephones and those dreaded sleeping mats have long been hidden among the childhood memories of most college students. Some students, however, already have begun families. These students must choose where their children will stay during the day. In Chapel Hill, the choice is limited. Most day-care centers have long waiting lists. "Day-care centers are vital to working parents without a convenient grand mother," said Anne Murphy, director of the University Baptist Day Care Center. "The children are able to socialize with children of their own age. And we have planned activities that use the child's emotional, cognitive and physical capabilities." "We set it up so it is appropriate for each age level," she said. "We don't sit down and drill the children." "We plan the day with such activites as story-telling, drawing, painting, singing, dancing, block-building and nature walks," Murphy said. "The children enjoy outdoors and lunch the most." B Unnatural acts highlight Art School show A shaved dog is not a pretty sight. So naturally, no one in the audience refrained from playing school with Zippy the Clown; to do so would provide Zippy with motive to defur one's canine. And so, while reciting the New England states and adding single digit numbers, theatregoers witnessed one of a series of More Unnatural Acts perpetrated by the ArtSchool's Actor's Co-op this weekend. The show's monologues, skits, one acts, pantomimes and improvisations reflected all sorts of unnatural behavior, raising all sorts of natural questions. For instance, is it natural for a surgeon to anesthetize his left arm and leg? Is a fetish for tulips common among wealthy men? Is re-electing Jesse Helms an act of a rational populace? Of course not, but the absurd is often the essence of theatre. Sketches alternated between the deadly serious and the hilarious. The former category was well-done in a woman's recollective monologue titled "Snow Angel." Seriousness was taken to great lengths in "The Stronger"; the sketch was dragged out far too long, though the actresses did a good job of portraying women questioning their lives. "The Operation" was an ingenious bit of pantomime performed by Julian Council from page 1 political party that Berger said pro motes sensitivity toward human needs at every level. The committee claimed responsibility for enacting the measures because it initiated the bill, Berger said. s noon-IOpm not included) near Harris Teeter in new section of Kroger Plaza ABC Permits 929-9693 Oft, 2 5 C5 IPs) The Daily centers have long University Baptist Day Care Center is the oldest day-care center in contin uous operation in Chapel Hill, Murphy said. University Baptist Church pro vides space and utilities for the center, which has a day-care license and a child nutrition program. "Forty-eight children age 2 to 5 attend the University Baptist Day Care Center. Most of the parents are University employees only nine are students," Murphy said. "The cost is according to family income so that there will be a social mixture of children from the community. We even have international children." Leah Silverman Gales' son is enrolled in the Chapel of the Cross Child Care Center. " It was hard to find a spot for my 3-year-old son," she said. "I had to get on a waiting list until there was an opening. "I wanted my child to be with other children and get away from home," she continued. "My son gets upset on the days he doesn't go. The planned activities give the kids a good sense of continuity." The Chapel Hill-Carrboro area has eight day care centers associated with the Day Care Services Association. Funded by United Wav. the association Lombardi. His skill was much in evidence in his portrayal of a truly unnatural surgeon who removed his patient's intestines, kicked them across the floor, and later reinserted them. He also performed a serious pantomime titled "Evolution," in which unusual body positions evoked the ascent of a strange creature from lying to standing. Tina Turner's "Better Be Good to Me" provided real music for a pantom ime rock group number. The concept was rather juvenile; all kids have silently or not so silently imitated their favorite group. But there is really nothing wrong with being juvenile. Bob Lehnberg did it quite brilliantly as the silent percussionist. Transactors, a professional group of actors who got started in the Co-op, demonstrated their ample talents in a delightful improvisation sequence. The audience suggested subject matter for the trio's skits, stories, and song. In the midst of the story "The Case of the Missing Lamp," the storyteller asked the crowd, "What does the plumber ask Ethel?" Some uninhibited spectator suggested "What color is your under wear?" So the players wove Ethel's purple bra and green panties into the plotline of the scene. This group was remarkable in its Documentary increasing nuclear arms race. "We are facing the biggest catas trophe of the nation. It's an awful prospect that people dont want to think about." But, Coulter said, it is a problem that has to be faced.

"We receive applications from indi vidual families whose income is above what it takes to get social services yet not enough to actually pay for day care," said Betty Hutton, co-director of United Way. "The aid is limited to families living in the Carrboro-Chapel Hill area. Parents must be working or attending school. Only 21 percent of the aid can be given to children of Uni versity students. Aid is not given to a two-student family." According to Sue Russell, director of the Day Care Services Association, the program has provided aid for more than 100 children this year. Victory Village Day Care, located in Odum Village, accepts only University connected children. "We give scholarships to students' children only," Director Mary Briggers said. "Of our 63 children, 90 percent receive tuition aid. We get the money through United Way, fund-raisers and Student Government." "We have a very long waiting list for 1- and 2-year-olds," she added. "A lot of women put their child's name on when they are pregnant." Elizabeth Ellen Review spur-of-the-moment creations. The three principals worked together as if they were of one mind. Most of the evening's material was fresh, definitely offbeat, and just right for the ArtSchool's relaxed cabaret atmosphere. The show had some weak spots: an overdone "comedy" sketch that was probably about the movie industry, an opening gimmick in which the actresses came on stage two minutes before curtain only to be scolded by the director, and a parody sung by Zippy. Incidentally, he never did take a razor to anyone's pet. After all, that would be, in the words of a character in "The Stronger," "as cold-blooded as a stork watching a rathole." Vivid imagery, yes, but do storks really eat rats? Pondering such questions is too mind-blowing. The only solution is simply to accept More Unnatural Acts with all its quirks, bumps and weird ness as par for an unnatural course. within a 5 mile radius j inn cza vyi nil i V:r- i.j Ann V " 3 mi i nu ( a L-JO t J "-"'ii' I'J3 Q r 7"J r.
