•^TOBER 17,1978 the clarion Walter Egan Televis ion: A Relaxer By Jon Young Television. The wonderful invention that has been in the public domain for more than 25 years. In the beginning, it was an extremely unique novelty that was not taken seriously. You could watch Gorgeous George, in those early days, wrestle his way each evening to Millions of dollars while angry, whiskey- guzzling patrons of this “art” threw popcorn and beer bottle tops into the roped-off ring, demanding to see more blood and bruises. No dad, you would say, let’s watch Uncle Miltie and see if he’s going to wear the polka-dot dress like mom wears or a dazzling evening gown as the ones worn by Loretta Young on her program. And yet, your sister wants to view the fresh talent of Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour. Hey, you yell. Bat Masterson is on channel 7. Or better yet, Beaver Cleaver and Ozzie Nelson are on channel 9. And about Mr. Ed'? As television goes, there are naturally going to be a few pick- of-the-litters, like Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show. These programs are aimed at our young adult minds and offer fresh, sometimes zany in novations which we are apt to consider superlative. Why? Maybe we want to see the so- called star of a show get molasses poured down his pants by Burt Reynolds, or possibly just seeing people being themselves, letting everything go once in a while. We sometimes have difficulty thinking in terms of “anything due to the often-times wessive homework loads dumped on us by well-meaning teachers who go home nights to relax, while we students burn 60 watts into the wee hours of the morning preparing for a mesmerizing exam at 8:00 a.m. Those were the days. The Golden Years of television. All the old shows are laid to rest in reruns now, and the actors and emcees are either eternally gone or just gone from our memories. But take heart! Surely the 1970’s have given birth to television series that equal the oldies. For example, we have adult entertainment in the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman and Wonder Woman; the subtle science-fiction of Battle-Star Galactica, which is sure to warm the cockles of your heart; Joe Namath as a junior-high basketball coach who handles the devastating problems of several obnoxious teenagers; and last, but (as the old cliche goes) certainly not least, there are the screaming women of The Price Is Right who make a hobby of sit ting in Bob Barker’s lap while he is still standing up. Now, as any educated college student can see, these programs are designed for our vastly intellectual minds. Right? I think not. In other words, television is a relaxer, especially after an hour- long test that you know you failed anyway. The quality may not be the best in recent years, but watching old reruns of Gomer Pyle or still older I Love Lucy’s is a very refreshing ingredient in the Wide World of Sports event known universally as relaxation. ijmc uat^g Showroom *' 338South Broad St., Brevard, N.C.

Egan’s recent success — after Tuesday nth “I don’t feel I’m doing anything Playing rock and roll :cc 11 .. c> J 6 differently now,” says musician Walter Egan. Maybe he’s just an idea whose lime has come. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that after two albums, production assistance from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac and a lot of touring, Egan has emerged with a hit single, “Magnet and Steel.” “I was really surprised ‘Magnet and Steel’ did so well,” Egan says. “I thought it might get into the top 20 if I was lucky. The fact that it kept going, right into the top 10, really amazed me.” has left him surprised. more than a little 6-8 p.m. - Bernie Casey; Film Seminar Room Black Art Series; “I’ve gone through a year of gradually letting myself believe that all this success is really happening. It’s funny. It feels like a natural thing and I feel very comfortable with it. Sometimes, though, I stop and think, ‘Wow, I’m going to be recording my third album soon.’ That’s in credible to me, that I’m able to do this and it seems to be working out.” "I try to preserve that by not analyzing-my music that much, just going for the feeling.” 8:15 p.m. * Life and Culture Series: On Andrew Jackson; Dunham WEDNESDAY 18th 7:30 p.m. - Fall Vacation Begins 10:00 a.m. - Day Student Meeting; Student Union MONDAY 23rd 5:30p.m. -PTK TUESDAY 24th 6-8 p.m. Room Art Series; Library Seminar Campus Parking Rules The registrant of a vehicle is responsible for the safe operation and proper parking of the vehicle, regardless of who may be operating the vehicle.
