Tickets, $2, at Union desk. by Cob Jaslnkiswicz Feature Writer Picture a hitch-hiker thumbing along a tree-lined highway somewhere between California and Never neverland. A beautiful girl picks him up in her convertible. She smiles and he sinks to the floor. In ten seconds she has his hand on her knee. In twenty, they're off the road and she's streaking through the woods. He's after her, drooling, dreaming and streaking, with something different than sugar-plums dancing in his head. In thirty seconds he's out of the woods and please stand by he runs right up against the steady glare of a 250-lb. cop who needs his love like he needs more eye shadow. Get it? He didn't and he never will, not quite like that. It's all a part of the tube, and the message il that it's all make believe pure product that sells, and sells and sells. Ken Shapiro, creator and star of the movie The Groove Tube, was at the Varsity Theatre Thursday to sell his own product at a special preview showing, free to students and others who might appreciate gut laughter and crotch humor. Shapiro, a 3 1 -year-old drop-out from Columbia University's Graduate School of Comparative Religion and from teaching -in Brooklyn's public schools, opened his first video theater in Manhattan's East Village in 1 967. The program, Channel One, presented 90 minutes of TV lampoons and original material on TV monitors to a live audience. Groove Tube, the movie version of Channel One, is a 90-minute collage of television's contributions to mankind TV as it never was and always should have been. Billed as a parody of the medium that has kept millions awake past midnight and millions more asleep past noon. Groove Tube makes sure no one will doze through its rapid-fire clips of commercials, kiddie 'shows, "serious" talk shows and the wide, wild world of sports broadcasts that would make Howard Cosell's Fruit-of-the-Loom underwear blush in three shades of red. The movie has the ups and downs of a TV tube fielding late night interference. It's up at the start with a cutting take-off of 2001 and man's timeless search for something better to do on Saturday nights. If solitaire is one of the oldest vices, television is one of the newest addictions. From there, the movie slips and slides with the uneven grace of a collection of old videotapes on which most of the film is based. It's down particularly in the middle with a parody of a presidential news conference that dips as low as Nixon's latest popularity ratings. But if you want to turn off your mind as well as your TV dial, see why "vacuum" fits both the description of what's behind the screen and what Madison Avenue wants between your ears. Keep the space open for Groove Tube, starting its Regular run on Thursday, April 4 .at the Varsity Theater. ' IS AW VYV i V 11 4" " as' A : i : s i i .5 1 1.1,. 'VL.- Staff ptwto by Tom ik.

Tickets, $1.50, are available at the Union desk to students only. Giselle, a two-act fantasy ballet, is delicately balanced between dance and drama.
