TYPISTS-Lara Gribbs, Ann Campbell,Rebecca Rogers WHAT DID YOU RESOLVE TO DO IN 1984? by Suzannah Higby With the beginning of the New Year, as aiways everyone made new ruies for themseives. These ever-dreaded “New Year’s Resoiutions” are designed to make for a better “you” at the end of 1984. After taking a poii of peopie at St. Mary’s - from students to house mothers - i have determined that thin is not oniy “in,” but the one constant fad. Everyone wants to iose weight. Wili this most difficuit task be accompiished? it is too eariy to say, but in a generai consensus, most giris feei SAVE iT FOR A RAINY DAY by Cathy Hancock Olivia Newton-John is cute. John Travoita is even cuter. Two 07a Kind their new movie is de- finiteiy cute. It’s a story of two people brought back from death in order to prove to God that the human race is worth saving. John Travoita piays a wouid-be inventor in debt to the mob. Oliva Newton-John is a wouid- he actress who can’t get a part or hoid down a job.

A native of Montreal, Peterson will perform portions of his own composition, “Canadiana Suite” with the orchestra, as well as a 30-minute solo seg ment. positive so far. There were a few in teresting answers to the ques tions of New Years Resolu tions. Cynthia Gimesh is aim ing for an engagement ring, and Sally James hopes to take life seriously by 1985. The most de termined person I asked was Susan Jones who has been cleaning out drawers and closets every weekend so far with no evidence of giving up. She also hopes to have her desk cleaned off by 1985. Will she make it? Reserved seats are sold out. However, general admis sion seats are available from the North Carolina Symphony Box Office, lower level. Memorial Auditorium. Prices are $8 for adults and $5 for senior citizens and students. For more infor mation, call 733-9536. Gene Lees Wrote in Down Beat, “If there are pianists who rival Oscar’s speed, they lack his virility and blues-rooted power. If there are those who rival his power, they lack his absolute mastery of the instru ment.” And Benny Green com ments about the absolute elo quence of Oscar Peterson at the concert grand, “There is nothing to be said about such playing except that it is a great privilege as well as a great plea sure to listen to it.” Over the years Peterson has won numerous awards to back up the music critics’ com ments. Among them are the Down Beat Award for 12 con secutive years as the Best Jazz Pianist; the coveted Playboy Award; and the Grammy in 1975. Peterson, who began classical training at six, gave up the trumpet at seven after a bout with tuberculosis, and studied piano. At 14 he had a 15-minute radio spot on a weekly show after walking away with the prize at a local amateur contest, much like his peer Ella Fitzgerald. He also was featured for several years, starting in 1944, with the Johnny Holmes Orchestra, one of the most popular in Canada. His local reputation brought offers to come to the United States but he stayed in Canada until September 1949, when the respected entrepre neur Norman Granz brought him to New York for an appear ance with “Jazz at the Philharmonic,” presented at Carnegie Hall. After the Carniegie Hall appearance, “where Peterson literally stopped the concert dead in its tracks,” he began recording for Norman Granz. He has toured Europe and the United States every year since, with side trips to Russia, Africa and the Far East. In recent years the Canadian virtuoso has devoted more time .to composing. His best known work is the land scape, Canadiana Suite, each movement of which symbolizes some area of Canada that has captured his imagination. He has also composed music for several television pilots, which he performed with Milt Jackson, Joe Pass, Jake Hanna and John B. Williams. For a few years in the sixties, Peterson taught jazz at the Advanced School of Con temporary Music in Toronto, a school he founded with Ray Brown and Ed Thigp)en. Analyzing his own contri bution, and that of his Trio, Peterson once said, “My group has always that fire, that feeling of pressure, of playing with honesty.” “Peterson today stands as one of the greatest soloists of all time, a player whose tech nique never obscures the lucidity of his thoughts or the vronderful buoyancy of his execution,” wrote Benny Green, British jazz critic. “What Ear! Hines began forty years ago with his discovery that the pianist’s right hand was itself a solo instrument, reaches its final consummation in Peterson.’^ THE UNBELIEVABLE YENTL works at, but in order to save the world they must both sacri fice something for the other. With angels and even Satan on their side they manage to save the world and they all live happily ever after. Although neither Travolta nor Newton- John will be nominated for academy awards for their act ing, the movie is not a waste of time. It is light, funny, cute and gererally uplifting - perfect fora rainy day. by Cathy Hancock I believe a really good nrovie can make one sym pathize with a psychotic killer, doubt the integrity of a child hood hero, or sob uncon trollably at the death of a mangy dog. But believe Bar bara Streisand as a Jewish girl impersonating a young Jewish boy? Sorry, YentI was too in credible for me. The heary New York accent and sarcastic atti tude that were assets to Streisand in “Funny Girl” make her performance as YentI (Hansel) unbe^ble. The movie first tried to convince us that the studying of holy books, which was forbidden for women, is so important to YentI she would impersonate a boy to attend an all-male school; then that her love for her roommate Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin) is so overwhelming that she would marry his fiance; and, finally, that no one along the way, in cluding “her” wife, would even suspect Hansel is a woman. Unfortunately, in ali three en deavors, the movie completely failed.
