V Redbone takes audience on unique cruise to past Leon Redbone, as authentic an interpreter of 70s and '30s ragtime jazz and blues as you'll find anywhere, will appear in concert at 8 tonight in Memorial Hall. Tickets are $3 and can be purchased at the Carolina Union Desk and at the door. Joining Redbone will be local talent Rod Abernethy to begin the evening's entertainment. Nothing was known about Redbone before he began attracting attention while performing in Toronto around 1970. Talking to him is an exercise in patience, but quite entertaining. Two years ago he said he was born on July 10, 1670, his father, was Paganiniand his mother was Jenny Lind. Friend Bob Dylan postulates he's anywhere from 25 to 60 years old. After first gaining recognition at Toronto's Mariposa Folk I Festival in 1971, David Bromberg and Ramblin' Jack Elliott saw him and spread the word. Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur -and others requested him as their opening act, ahd' Warner Brothers eventually signed him and released his first album. On The Track. It included such old-time tunes as Irving Berlin's "My Walking Stick" and Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'." , ( ' , , t Leon feels otherwise. "I don't regard them as "old standard tunes or a nostalgia-type thing," he says. "I don't look at them that way. I do them simply because that's what I hear. I don't hear anything else." After two appearances on NBC's Saturday Night, sales of the first album suddenly took off. Lome Michaels and Howard Shore of Saturday Night are both from Toronto and have been fans for years. Now that the royalty checks are coming in, Leon says he may buy "a stamp machine. A sausage factory. The pyramids of Egypt." These are unique goals for a highly unique artist.

"It became obvious to a lot of students who were in school in the '60s that it doesn't pay to raise hell only when your ass is at stake. If you see a situation which compels you to act, but don't get involved because it doesn't affect you personally, it will be too late to act when the situation affects you." He says he has learned from his research that "there is a most dangerous possibility that there still exists today in this country a collusion between big business and government on such an integral level that individual lives are at the mercy of corrupt leadership. "The U.S. can ill-afford to have leaders that consider the individual as relatively unimportant in the major scheme of things. Kissinger was willing to throw away lives on what may have seemed important to him, but what most people in this country would have considered unworthy of such recklessness. "This country is supposed to be democratic. It has checks and balances, but there arc still ways to get around them. When someone can manipulate the foreign policy. according to his personal whims without effective checks by Congress and public opinion, that makes the individual so unimportant that lives can be lost without the proper questions ever being asked." Houk says he has more information that could be made public now, but he prefers to hold it until the public becomes reinterested in the Mayaguez incident.

Egypt breaks diplomatic ties with Syria, Libya, others By I'nited Prm International Egypt broke diplomatic relations with Syria, Libya, Algeria, Iraq and South Yemen Monday and ordered their ambassadors to leave the country within 24 hours. The move threw into doubt the future of current Middle Fast peace efforts. The dramatic announcement thrust the Middle East into new turmoil just as Secretary of State Cyrus Vance was preparing to fly to the Middle East to try to get other Arab nations - including Syria to attend the Cairo conference called by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The Vance move was part of a llnited States effort to regain the initiative in any Middle I ast settlement, threatened not only by the Arab world's anger at Sadat's talks with Israel but by sharp U.S.-Soviet differences on the Middle l ast problem. An Egyptian government announcement in Cairo said Egypt also recalled the staff of its Egyptian embassies in the five countries. t he move came hours alter lour of the hardline countries meeting in Tripoli, Libya, had joined with the Palestinian l iberation Organization in declaring a freeze on diplomatic ties w ith Cairo to protest Sadat's recent peace initiatives w ith Israel. Sadat had expelled FLO officials front Cairo earlier for publicly protesting his trip to Jerusalem. Iraq walked out of the Tripoli meeting in anger because it believed the four were too easy on Sadat. Official Cairo radio announced the Egyptian action in its evening newscast and also said an extraordinary cabinet session had been called for Wednesday. Iraq was not mentioned in the original broadcast but an official Cairo Radio statement said later that ties will be cut with Iraq. moon Continued from page 1. Powell acknowledges that many persons are converted from one belief to another because of crisis situations. Martin Luther and othei Protestant Reformation leaders were under great pressure, as were early founders of Christianity. But a former Moonic who is now a deprogrammer says everyone is susceptible to cult conversion at some time during his life. "When you are depressed, you are more likely to talk to people," says Mitchell Mack of Chapel Hill, a student in the UNC Evening College. "You are more accepting when you are depressed. You don't question as much." Mack says Moonies and other cults use group seminars to introduce recruits to the faith. Those who show promise are encouraged to attend weekend outings where cult members use indoctrination techniques on new recruits. "They give an introductory sugar-coated pep talk designed to make the person realize there is a problem with his lite," Mack says. But only 30 percent of the original recruits stay in the ranks of the cult, Mack says. The others drop out during the indoctrination process. John C.

The first Arab reaction to the Egyptian break came from Mowaffak Allaf, the Syrian ambassador to the I'nited Nations. He called it an escalation of Sadat's initiative with Israel. "I his isamost unlortuiiatcdevelopment,"Allaf said. "This break in relations is unfortunate because this is adding really to the harm already done by President Sadat. While we see the president of Egvpt having most cordial relations with the enemy, the people who are occupying his Icmtorv. lie is breaking relations with his Arab allies." ' Group to oppose S. Bell KM I Kill The public staff of the N.C. Utilities Commission will light a request by Southern Bell felephoneCo. lor a So5 million rate hike that would mean higher service and installation charges lor customers. Hugh A. Wells, executive director of the public staff, said his agency will ask the commission to grant a "much lower level of charges" than requested by Southern Bell. I he company contends a rate hike is necessary to meet rising costs and to attract more investors. 1 he company also said the increases are needed because it is not earning enough profit.
