1 f T The Daily Tar HeelFriday, November 13, 19875 From Bee Gees to Chic, WXYC spins the 70s classics By ELIZABETH ELLEN Arts Editor Good music endures. It becomes known as "classics." Bad music recurs and haunts, and if it was in the Top 40 during the mid-to-late 1970s, it becomes known as "K-tel Extrava ganza material.' For three hours tomorrow, WXYC will inundate the airwaves with those funky 70s tunes our generation cant seem to altogether forget or escape. This fifth celebration of the not-so-good and downright bad is the K tel Extravaganza. Staples of the K-tel Extravaganza genre include tunes by the Village People, Chic, Peaches and Herb, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Shaun Cassidy, and anything off the "Sat urday Night Fever" soundtrack. Remember "Rapper's Delight," "Hotline," and "Disco Duck"? Making a return Extravaganza appearance in the guise of Electric Boogie Man is disc jockey Nicklaus Steiner. Having lost Disco Betty, his partner in last spring's show, to graduation, he has found a new sidekick in Steve Balcom, a.k.a. Dynamite Danny. Balcom and Steiner will spin records from 5 until 8 p.m. tomorrow. Despite the ridicule most people heap upon these old and frankly tacky songs, Balcom thinks there are many closet fans around. "Everybody likes this music, whether they admit it or not," he says. "It is ironic and ridiculous that no radio stations play these songs, except for some of the ballads. It's a shame." He notes the absence of the genre's upbeat tunes like "Car Wash" and "Le Freak" on the airwaves. Steiner and Balcom agree that this music is important because our generation grew up with it. The lyrics tended to stick in our young and impressionable minds, and many of us can easily recall all the words to some truly awful disco standards. The Extravaganza started out as an annual event, but WXYC now puts one on each semester. "You can get your K-tel music in, and thea dont listen to it again for six months," Balcom says. The last Extravaganza was broadcast immediately following Springfest last April, and listener response was, according to Balcom, "crazy, absolutely crazy." Both Steiner and Balcom, having grown up in the Disco Era, admit to having K-tel type favorites. Steal er's perennial pick is W.C. McCall's "Convoy." Balcom likes the Village People's "In the Navy" ("a classic song") and Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch" ("a gripping song that makes you cry every time you hear it"). Listener participation is a big part of the Extravaganza format. Campus Calendar The DTH Campus Calendar appears daily.

AIDS from page 1 Hoke, staff attorney for the Division of Health Services in the N.C. Department of Human Resources. uOne of our concerns was, instead of adopting all specifics, to give the authority to public health agencies and to let the specifics be decided by public health officials . . . whoVe been working with communicable diseases for years," he said. The rewritten law emphasizes AIDS issues such as confidentiality and availability of testing, Hoke said. While applicable to all communicable diseases, it gives public health officials the authority to lirriit activities of HIV-positive patients "who might spread the virus. The law expands confidentiality to include both public and private physicians records. Release of records may be made by court order, such as when the patient threatens public health. The most important part of the new law, which goes into effect Feb. 1, 1988, gives authorities the right to prescribe control measures, Hoke said. Control measures would specify what infected people must do to not spread the disease, such as abstaining from sex or using a condom. "If an individual doesn't follow the proper control measures, then some thing can be done," Hoke said. "We're a help agency, but on the other hand, if the patient is clearly threatening people, then we need something legally to say 'this is it, we're taking you to court.' " Violations of a control measure would be prosecuted as a misde meanor, punishable by up to two years in prison and an unspecified fine, he said. This is not a punishment peculiar to AIDS, however; it applies to the whole public health law, which includes such infractions as improper waste disposal or failure to have children vaccinated, he said. The law gives officials the authority to restrict the movement of patients, but the law specifies how far a health official can go so that authority is not abused, Hoke said. The law can only; be invoked when public health is in danger, and when authorities have exhausted all other reasonable control and no less restrictive mea sures exist, he said. "We wanted to make sure that (the authority) is not used in an overpow ering fashion," Hoke said. The law also requires state certi fication for AIDS testing labs, Hoke said. The lab must tell people the results and offer appropriate coun seling, he said. The legislature also provided funds for an AIDS legislative study com mission, which will examine a $10 million request for education and prevention activities, Hoke said. "More bills will be introduced (in the coming sessions) because people are concerned, but from our perspec tive at the health agency, we do think this is a comprehensive bill," he said. AIDS project funding and discrim ination issues remain unresolved, he said.

Requests are encouraged, and Steiner says there may be a phone line set up this time so that call-ins can be directly broadcast. A new feature on this show will be the creation of a K-tel dictionary. Steiner and Balcom will ask listeners to call in their own definitions of such staple 70s words as "funky," "boo gie,'' and "groove thing. Many song lyrics of the era are infuriatingly unclear, and key words in many of these songs do not appear in contem porary usage. "What exactly is your 'bootie, as in 'Shake Your Bootie7 asks Steiner. "I'm kinda curious. And just what does it mean to freak out? Another call-in segment will fea ture listeners favorite quotes from K tel era songs. "If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, Steiner reminisces. "If you like making love at midnight . . A more active form of listener participation is throwing K-tel par ties. Steiner mentions the parties of past Extravaganzas, especially the big one on the fifth floor of Granville West last time. Listeners are encour aged to call WXYC with their party plans so that the K-tel roving reporter can make his rounds. A feature of April's Extravaganza, the "Whatever Happened To . . queries about 70s celebrities, was almost prophetic, Steiner says. Artists like Rose Royce and Gloria Gaynor have made comebacks with new records on the adult contemporary market.

"That's kinda scary," says this groovy heritage remains a factor Balcom. in our sociopsychological makeup. Scary or not, the Extravaganza is, While only a tiny lunatic fringe would in a sense, a fleeting return to a want to permanently retrograde to bygone era of CB radio lingo, magic 70s music forms, maybe we of the eight balls, and mood rings. Even super cool 80s can learn something though the lava lamps don't flow so from the music of our early teen years, freely anymore, and AIDS is infi- or at least have fun in the nostalgic nitely more terrifying than swine flu, attempt.
