4The Daily Tar HeelMonday. November 16. 1981 Group g$iE.po5iiilajr. album shows quality By GFX)FFREY MOCK lTH SlatT Writer After 16 years and 15 American albums, the Who continues to prove that a rock group can reach a large popular following while maintaining a high level of excellence. Those 16 years have not always been easy ones for the Who, but for their audience the results match those of any other group. Hooligans is a double-album anthology covering the history of the Who from their first single in 1965 to the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1979. Some of the finest, although not necessarily the mosr famous, works of Moon, guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle and vocalist Roger Daltrey have been selected for inclusion in the package. Hooligans is not a greatest hits collec tion. Instead it presents a representative sample of the themes in the Who's work. Most of the songs on Hooligans were studio-recorded, and this is the album's major weakness. The Who's live shows al ways have had a special dimension missing from their studio work. Thus Hooligans lacks the quality that the mostly live recorded 1979 The Kids Are Alright soundtrack has. However, Hooligans does not overlap The Kids Are Alright. Only four songs are covered on both albums. Nor does Hooligans overlap an earlier Who antho Judiciary Committee in investigation of CWP The Associated Press GREENSBORO Congress may be come involved in the investigation of the Nov. 3, 1979 shootings of five Commu nist Workers Party members in Greens boro, a House Judiciary Committee mem ber said. John Conyers Jr., D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, said the subcommittee would wait for the outcome of a federal Justice Department investigation into the incident before deciding whether addi tional action was necessary. Conyers said he was not sure what he would do if the Justice Department con cluded there waso basis to bring crimi nal civil -fights charges against those re sponsible for the Greensboro violence. "We might want to hold a hearing to see what took them so long (to decide against prosecuting) and see if there are other cases where the foot-dragging has gone on," Conyers said.. "I view this as a matter in which we have an interest in terms of the fact that racial violence has occurred.... It seems to . me that some laws very likely were broken somewhere. I don't know how five people can be killed and everybody can say T TOES LIUIiXKI T Broiled Chopped " Sirloin Steak With Mushroom Gravy.

That the Who could easily fill up three such collections is a tribute to the depth of the quality to their music. Hooligans will spark many enjoyable debates among Who fans. Were the Who at their best at their inception with 1965s "1 Can't Explain," which opens the first side of this album? Or did they peak later with Quadrophenia in 1973 from which "The Real Me," "5:15" and "Drowned" were selected for Hooligans. The most noticeable thing on the album is the deteriorating abilities of Moon dur ing the last years of his life. Compare the drumming on the 1971 "Baba O' Riley" which opens side two of Hooligans with the drumming on the three selections from Moon's last work Who Are You and ft is clear that he had lost part of his magic. The Who first gained widespread popu larity through their singles. And on Hooligan's selections from the Who's early years, singles are emphasized over that period's album cuts. Only "Pinball, Wizard" is included from the album Tommy. Instead, Hooligans shows off some of the most interesting singles of this early period, most notably "I Can't Explain," "I Can See For Miles" and a crackerjack cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues." After the release of Who's Next in 1971, the Who shifted its emphasis from singles to albums. This masterpiece album was a watershed point in their 'things are OK. That's a staggering con clusion to come to." His comments followed a congressional hearing late last week into an increase in racially motivated violence throughout the country, which raised questions about the Greensboro shootings. Several political organizations and civil rights groups have repeatedly called for a congressional inquiry, but last week's ses sion was the first time a formal congres sional body had discussed the Greensboro slayings since the confrontation between the Communists, Klansmen and Nazis, more than two years ago. The subcommittee is considering possi ble amendments to the federal civil rights statutes as part of the Judiciary Commit tee's overhauling 'of the federal criminal code. - - The Greensboro testimony consisted primarily of a Duke University law pro fessor's detailed presentation on federal civil rights statutes and Justice Depart ment and Treasury Department responses to Conyers' questions about the slowly moving federal probe and the role of a federal undercover agent.

In addition to "Baba O'Riley," three other cuts from the album "Behind Blue Eyes," "Bargain" and "The Song is Over" are included on Hooligans.

The outstanding song here is "Slip Kid," Townshend's 1973 response to the quaint idealism that marred much of popular music during that period. muy net shootings dent as a case study to show that existing criminal civil rights statutes were adequate to bring criminal civil rights charges. In a related development Friday, a CWP leader called the Justice Department investigation a "Trojan Horse" designed to cover up the government's alleged role in the shootings. Nelson Johnson of Greensboro said he was interviewed last week by Justice De partment agents for several hours, but said the questions they asked dealt mostly with an earlier clash between the CWP and the Ku KIux Klan in China Grove. Johnson said he thought the govern ment wanted to'use the China Grove inci dent as evidence there was a long-term feud between the groups.

PRC production accents on emotions in 'Menagerie By ALISON DAVIS l)TH Slaff Writer The Playmakers Repertory Company's production of The Glass Menagerie is a departure from traditional productions of the Tennessee Williams play, accentuating its qualities of anger and bitterness. At the opening of the play, Tom Wing field, played by John Tyson, climbs a set of stairs to a fire escape and looks toward the audience. review His cigarette burning a hole in the semi-darkness, Tom tells the audience, "The play is memory." As he explains the setting and characters, Tyson punches his ' words, sounding as though he were angry at having to look back at his past. Tom's mother, Amanda (Eunice An derson), has been forced to raise her chil dren alone after her husband left her. Overly concerned with their welfare, she becomes overprotective and nagging. And to escape from her unhappy life, Amanda dreams of the past, talking of her youth and many gentlemen callers. Anderson gives Amanda's character the energy and vitality it deserves. She begins the play with a delightful Southern drawl. Unfortunately, when she thinks out loud, her voice loses some of its deep South qualities, v Anderson's Amanda is often funny. She provides the comic relief the audience needs to escape from the pathetic lives played out on stage. During the second act, she is especially amusing as she flirts with the gentleman caller at dinner. While Amanda can be laughed at, her daughter Laura is only pathetic. Laura (Jill Larson) is crippled and is extremely shy. She escapes her unhappiness by cre ating her own world, a world of little glass animals.

Tom's bitterness and anger illuminate the pathetic qualities of Amanda and Laura. However, his anger is too constant at times, limiting his emotional range. Be cause Tyson's words often lack passion and conviction, the tension that might have been created during his arguments with Amanda is nonexistent. At times, Tyson even sounded like he was reading from the script. The contrast of Tyson's portrayal of Tom brought out the optimistic attitudes .of the gentleman caller, played by Hamil ton Gillet.

Director Gregory Boyd's choice of music adds to the success of the play by providing a musical representation of each of the characters' worlds. A fiddle and clarinet accompany Tom and Aman da, while Laura's theme is tinkling circus music, appropriate for her world of glass. Although the performances were uneven, the end result is still an evening of enjoyable theater.
