leader. Chernenko was first in the line of Politburo
members who filed past Andropov's funeral bier on
Saturday and offered their condolences to his family.
Since reliable information about the inner workings
of the Politburo is virtually non-existent, such out
ward signs are taken seriously in the Soviet Union.
Andropov was funeral commission chairman for
his predecessor, Leonid I. Brezhnev. He led the Polit
buro in viewing Brezhnev's body about one hour
before his appointment as general secretary was an

buro and is believed to have sought Brezhnev's job
before it was awarded to Andropov. But there were
factors including his advanced age and the rise of
others in the Politburo which left Western
observers uncertain about whether Chernenko had in
deed taken the top party post.
Some believed the Politburo might appoint a
younger man who might hold power longer. An
dropov died after IS months in office.
Western analysts, said that if Chernenko does not
become general secretary, his appearance in the
leading public role during the period of mourning
could be explained by protocol. As party ideologist,

Chernenko formally is the No. 2 man on the Polit
buro after the general secretary and therefore would
be a logical choice to head the funeral proceedings.
Scores of world leaders plan to attend the funeral.
Japanese Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe arrived Sun

dent George Bush and most other dignitaries.
The U.S. delegation also will include Senate Ma

Police concert could become legendary
By SHERYL THOMAS
Assistant Arts Editor
The $30, $40, even $60 that many raging Police fans shelled
out to ticket scalpers was well-spent on Friday night's capacity
crowd concert. Some said this first of a two-show Police stint in
Greensboro was even better than the legendary Bruce Springs
teen concert of 1981.
The crowd-encircled stage was obscured in darkness, with on
ly the taped introduction to "Synchronicity" indicating its loca
tion. And then the distinctive voice of Police lead-singer Sting
overtook the taped music. The crowd whistled and began
shouting as the event began.
Review
Outfitted in the trademark Synchronicity red, blue and yellow
garb that he wears in MTV's "Synchronicity H" video, Sting,
along with guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart
Copeland, sneakily slunk from the album's title song into its
energetic and socially conscious sequel, "Synchronicity II."
Switching tracks but not albums, The Police continued with a
steamy "Walking in Your Footsteps." Sting's piccolo, green,
yellow and brown lights and smoky, simulated hot springs con
stituted a jungle setting that added a third dimension to the
strangely cynical tune.
The Police sang almost every song from their recent No. 1
album, Synchronicity, including the indignant "Oh My God,"
"Wrapped Around Your Finger," the love song "Every Breath
You Take" and the mysterious "Tea in the Sahara."
, "King of Pain" was decidedly the biggest hit from the album,
Black Light Theatre's performance disappointing
By FRANK BRUNI d
Associate Editor
The Black Light Theatre of Pjague
touts itself as a magical combination of
dance, pantomime, theatre and music. It
revolves around the manipulation of
phosphorescent inanimate objects by ac
tors whose black costumes render them
invisible against a black backdrop. And if
the Black Light Theatre of Prague's
Saturday evening performance in
Memorial Hall was any indication, it is
far from a satisfying entertainment ex
perience. Review
More than anything else, the Black
Light Theatre is an eclectic sensory ex
perience, using color, light and music to
create moods appropriate to the stories
being mimed. In Saturday's perfor
mance, however, jointly sponsored by the
Triangle Dance Guild and the Carolina
Union, these elements failed to blend in a
convincing or cohesive fashion.
Moreover, the human element behind
each of the story lines was disturbingly
obscured by the technical stress of the
production.

audience with the methods employed by
the Black Light Theatre. Each of these
vignettes "The Laundress,"
"Lamps," and "Suitcases" had its
own charm,but none was particularly in
volving. "The Laundress" attemped to find
humor' in the dance of articles of clothing
on a clothesline, while "Suitcases,"
aspired to enchant the audience through
its depiction of the competition between
two men for a bigger suitcase.
Neither skit succeeded, largely because
the movement of the performers was in
cidental to the action and because the
"music" that accompanied the skits more
closely resembled Muzak.
A great many of the show's segments
were grossly compromised by the music.
While Part Two of the show, titled "A
Week of Dreams," offered some spec
tacular, if redundant, visual effects in the
forms of billowing curtains, levitating
people, and brilliantly illuminated props,
the music accompanying these pro
vocative images was disconcertingly
lighthearted and silly. While eerie, organ
based music might have evoked the haun
ting atmosphere of a dilapidated movie
palace, the Laurel-and-Hardy soundtrack
that pumped from Memorial Hall's
mediocre sound system called to mind the
setting of a department store or, perhaps,
an elevator.
With the exception of "The Lamps,"

with the audience singing as much as Sting and entirely sup
plying the choral '.'that's my Soul up there."
Interspersed among the Synchronicity tunes were popular
and not-so-popular songs from past Police albums.
Long-time Police fans were satisfied by the many selections
from the group's first album, Outlandos d'Amour. Although
much of the crowd seemed unfamiliar to these early tunes, old
fans and those who caught on quickly danced and sang to
"Masako Tanga," "So Lonely," "Next to You," "Hole in my
Life," the encore "Can't Stand Losing You" and the
unanimous favorite, "Roxanne," during which the house lights
were turned on to reveal a sea of arms and faces waving and
bouncing to the beat.
Top-40 hits like "Message in a Bottle," "De Do Do Do, De
Da Da Da," and a violet-shrouded "Don't Stand So Close to
Me" from the Regatta de Blanc and Zenyatta Mondatta albums
elicited phenomenal crowd response.
The least-represented album was 1981's . sociopolitical Ghost
in the Machine. But two of the songs from the album, "Spirits
in the Material World" and "Invisible Sun," were so intense
that no other Machine statement needed to be made.
The nearly two-hour show revealed only hints of touring
burnout. The band members did not talk with the audience as
much as they have been known to, with Summers and Copeland
sticking to their instruments and leaving the theatrics to Sting.
Many concerts end up being out-of-studio barrages of noise.
But Friday night's show was a true concert. The entire show was
artfully and professionally done. Sting's vocals, Summers'
guitar and Copeland's drums blended into the precision and dis
tinctiveness that led the Police to its super-group status.
in which the swaying and tumbling of two
tall, shimmering street lamps on an aban
doned avenue served as an illustration of
the drunken state of an inebriated man
(played with a wonderful sense of comic
timing by Ales Koudelka,) almost every
vignette offered too little connection bet
ween the visible performers and .the
dream-like objects manipulated by the
invisible performers. In ' The
Magician," the third part of "Week of
Dreams," the necromancer's props took
on a life of their own, leaving the magi
cian himself little to do but gape at the
scene. At such times, the presence of ac
tors visible to the audience didn't seem to
matter at all.
The exaggerated, bewildered move
ment of the visible performers, a
trademark of pantomime, only exacer
bated the sense of triviality that en
veloped the entire production. While
technical dazzle can carry entertaining a
long way, it needs to be grounded in
human concerns.
For all its innovation and technical ex
travagance, the Black Light Theatre of
Prague came across as a glorified adult
puppet show. Circumstances prevented
me from seeing the last 20 minutes of the
production, but I can not say I regretted
my early departure. On the basis of what
I had seen, I had already derived any
diversion to be had from the Black Light
Theatre of Prague.

"I will not promise him anything that I
will not promise another candidate,"
DeRochi said. "We (initially) agreed on
the extended announcement, and he re
jected it. And now he's offering it as his
solution."
Sutherland and. DeRochi said
Winstead's charge that Sutherland had
failed to mediate the dispute was invalid
because the candidate had not come to
DeRochi to discuss the paper's policy on
announcements.
"Frank had not even approached us to
talk about the DTH policy," DeRochi
said. Even so, Sutherland worked out of
the "goodness of his heart" to mediate
between the paper and Winstead, she
said. 1
On Sunday, Winstead refused to say
whether he had approached the paper
about its announcement policy.
