Scruffy the Cat to prowl in
for performance at the Cradle
By JAMES BURRUS
Staft Writer
It's 8 p.m. Your history honors
thesis is one day overdue, and you
have a mid-term in ancient Israeli
history worth 50 percent of your
final grade tomorrow.
"It's just not important," said
Charlie Chesterman, lead singer for
Scruffy the Cat, a Boston band that
will be appearing tonight at Cat's
Cradle. "Everybody should drink
a beer, roll up their pants legs and
come out and enjoy themselves,
instead of staying in the dorm and
crying over papers they're all gonna
fail anyway. So what if you drop
a point in your grade point
average?"
Obviously, Scruffy the Cat
doesn't take many things seriously.
In August, Chesterman and the
other band members lead guit
arist Stephen Fredette, bassist
MacPaul Stanfield and drummer
Randall Gibson IV modeled
clothes for a fashion feature in
Roiling Stone's 100 Best Albums
feature.
Chesterman wore a $270 brown
leather jacket by Forenza and a $75
pair of Poco Loco blue denim jeans
with reversible cuffs. Gibson's garb
made him look like a nerd from
the SQs. All the band members,
except Gibson, posed with little
stuffed toy cats. "It was silly as
hell," Chesterman said. "It's the
goofiest thing weVe ever done."
All the band got out of the photo
shoot was a free lunch, he said. The
band members were offered dis
counts on the clothes, but even that
was too high for their budget,
Chesterman said.
There will not be any Scruffy the
Cat designer label jeans in stores
this Christmas shopping season,
but the band does plan to release
a lot of new music early next year.
Boom Boom Boom Bingo, a
five-song EP on Relativity
Records, should be out in January,
Chesterman said. The record
includes new songs as well as a
cover of a song by another Boston
band, The Oysters. It also includes
three live tracks recorded in a
Boston club.
The band is also planning to go
into the studio in January to record
an album that should be released
around March, Chesterman said.
Scruffy the Cat's new material,
which it is playing in its live sets,
is a "little more coherent and less
countrified," Chesterman said.
Part of that less countrified
sound is probably because of the
departure of Stona Fitch, who left
shortly after the release of the
band's debut LP. Fitch played
banjo, accordion and organ and
also helped Chesterman with some
of the songwriting.
Besides Tiny Days, "Scruffy the
Cat has also released the EP High
Octane Revival. Both releases were
critically acclaimed. The video for
"MyBabyShe'sAURight," off Tiny
Days, was shown quite extensively
on "120 Minutes," MTV's peek-a-boo
look into the future of rock.
Currently the band is wrapping
up the last dates of its 10-week
cross-country tour that saw it open
shows for The Balancing Act and
Alex Chilton.
The band is trying to cover the
same area that it covered on the
summer tour, Chesterman said.
The reception from the crowd has
been a little bit better on the current
tour, he said.
Playing a rousing energetic set
of rock V roll, Scruffy the Cat had
one of the best area shows of the
summer at Cat's Cradle last June.
As Chesterman said, "There's no
reason to study for exams."
Scruffy the Cat will perform
tonight with The Veldt at Cat's
Cradle. Call 967-9053 for ticket
information.

day at Virginia, 20-17. The setbacks
have left UNC with an overall record
of 5-5 and a conference mark of 3
3, good for a third-place tie.
Wide receiver Eric Lewis, who met
with members of the media prior to
Crum's press conference, said the
players would feel somewhat respon
sible if a coaching change were made.
"We would feel like weVe let him
down," said Lewis, a fifth-year senior.
"IVe been here five years and I'm sure
the other guys would feel the same
thing that they have had something
to do with his not being successful
at Carolina. It would be a feeling of
guilt amongst us.
"I hope it's not true. He's a great
guy. It's a shame that bad things
happen to good people. I just feel that
if we had given more effort this year,
with us being a senior-dominated
team, we should have won more ball
games. We should be at least 8-2."
Many expected the Tar Heels, with
17 seniors, to make a strong bid for
the ACC crown this season. The team
got off to a 3-1 start, losing only to

Dick Crum '

top-ranked Oklahoma 28-0 in its
second game.
But back-to-back home losses to
highly ranked Auburn and then
undefeated Wake Forest dropped
North Carolina to 3-3.
It was after the Wake Forest game
that Crum decided to scrap UNC's
wide-open offense and return to the
power running game that worked so
well in the early ISOs. The Tar Heels
responded with road wins over N.C.
State (17-14) and Maryland (27-14)
to set the stage for a Kenan Stadium
showdown with Clemson on Nov. 7.
But North Carolina lost that game
on a late field goal and the rumors
concerning Crum's job status began
to fly.
Among the coaches who have been
mentioned as possible successors to
Crum are former Wake Forest and
Kansas City Chiefs head coach John
Mackovic, former Wake Forest head
coach Al Groh, Air Force head coach
Fisher DeBerry, Oklahoma assistant
coach Jim Donnan, Tulane head
coach Mack Brown and former
Philadelphia Eagles and UCLA head
coach Dick Vermeil.
Crum's name has been linked of
late with the coaching job at Ohio
State, vacated Monday when Earle
Bruce was fired.
Toronto's Bell captures. MVP
Musicians' group celebrates
the compositions of Gershwin
By KELLY RHODES
Sail Writer
Leon Bates can sit back in his easy
chair and even look carefree, but his
words show the real man inside
a very serious musician.
"I want to break the stereotypes
of classical musicians," Bates said in
a recent interview. "Especially in the
area of programming. Every one else

focuses on the 17th century compos

works written last week."
Bates is touring presently with a
group known as Gershwin by
Request, celebrating the great Amer
ican pianist's music on the 50th
anniversary of his death. Soprano
Eddye Pierce Young and bass
baritone Benjamin Matthews will be
performing with Bates tonight in
Memorial Hall.
The Gershwin tour came about
after he and Matthews began per
forming Gershwin's works together in
Rome in 1984. "I was able to create
my own solo version on 'Rhapsody
in Blue,' and arranged several of
Gershwin's pieces into recital works,"
he explained.
"Concerto in F" is his favorite
Gershwin number. "I get a real kick
jout. pLpejf owning that piece," Bates
said. "It also typifies the fusion
musician that Gershwin really was.
It's marvelously romantic and brash."

Bates has received much praise for
his music, both in the United States
and in Europe. He. said he actually
prefers to perform in Europe because
of the people's dedication to classical
music. "We even had a concert
scheduled for a Sunday at 11 a.m.
For Americans, that is a really strange
time for a concert. But there were
thousands of people there. The hall
was full."
He made a video in Switzerland
of his "Concerto in F," performing
with the Basal Symphony. "Classical
musicians do not make videos," he
said, which is precisely why he did
it. "We poked fun at the audiences
at classical music concerts. People
don't attend concerts the way we
expect them to. Enjoyment doesn't
seem to have anything to do with it."
The video is shown on the U.S.
cable channel, Bravo, and in much
of Europe. "It's done really well," he
said. -
Tonight's Gershwin by Request
recital will be the second time Bates
has appeared at UNC. He played a
recital here two years ago in Memo
jial Hall.
Gershwin by Request, featuring
Leon Bates, Eddye Pierce Young and
Benjamin Matthews will perform
tonight at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall.

From Associated Press reports
NEW YORK George Bell of the
Toronto Blue Jays became the first
member of a Canadian team to win
the American League Most Valuable
Player award Tuesday, beating Alan
Trammell of the Detroit Tigers in the
voting.
Bell, also the first Dominican to
be named MVP, beat the Tigers'
shortstop by 21 points, getting 332
points to Trammell's 311 in voting
by the Baseball Writers Association
of America.
For winning, Bell will receive a
$50,000 bonus from the Blue Jays.
The outfielder's base salary for 1987
5,000
was $1,285,
Two association members in each
of the 14 AL cities were eligible to
vote. Bell received 16 first-place votes
and Trammell 12.
Minnesota outfielder Kirby Puck
ett was third in the voting with 201
points, followed by Boston's Dwight
Evans and Milwakee's Paul Molitor.
"I'm very happy," Bell said by
telephone from Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic. "Because when
you win the' MVP everything shows
that youVe worked hard. That you're
a winner. It's one of the greatest
things that's happened to me in the
last three years."
King
Bell's outstanding season was
somewhat tarnished by a damaging
slump in the final weeks of the season
as Toronto battled Detroit for first
place in the AL East.
Bell struggled through a 2-for-26
finish as the Tigers swept the Blue
Jays in the final three games to win
the division. Toronto actually ended
up losing its last seven games of the
season, with their remarkable col
lapse ruining a fine year.
Bell, who is not always cooperative
with the media, hit .308 with 47 home
runs, a league-leading 134 runs batted
in and 1 1 1 runs scored, the latter three
setting club records.
from page 1
nearly double that of whites.
"I'm hopeful that we can put an
end to it (inequality) through creative,
nonviolent action," King said.
At an international level, the most
important human rights goal is
putting an end to the apartheid
regime in South Africa, King said.
"Action against apartheid by the
U.S. government is long overdue,"
she said. "At the cutting edge of
nonviolence is economic withdrawal
from South Africa." "
Corporations must withdraw hold-
Speaker
ings from South Africa and people
must lobby Congress for stronger
boycotts, King said. Most of the black
South African leaders, including
Bishop Desmond Tutu and Winnie
and Nelson Mandela, support
stronger sanctions, she said.
"We have a moral obligation not
to profit from brutal, racist dictator
ships," she said.
The greatest challenge in human
rights faced by the world is the
nuclear arms race, King said. Never
before in history has the world had
such destructive capabilities, she said.
"We can no longer wait for our
leaders to initiate world peace," she
said. "We must create an interna
tional coalition of peace-loving
people."
King said the Martin Luther King
Holiday should be a day for the
progress of human rights.
"It cant be a day for resting on
the laurels of our achievements," she
said. "It must be a day of peaceful
nonviolence. " J; V:

of good, especially for the poor
whites, who thought they were
superior simply because they were
white.
He cited some instances today
where racism remains an obvious
problem.
In professional sports, McKissick
said, there were no black quarter
backs until last year, and only two
blacks have been baseball managers.
He also cited instances where
companies pretended to practice
integration, but made only token
efforts. Sometimes a company will
hire one black secretary to work in
the front office for the sake of
appearances, He said.
McKissick also said he was baffled
by the amount of time it took for
UNC Board of Trustees to divest
from South Africa.
While he said he believes in the
integration of races, McKissick
expressed a desire to retain his
heritage. "I want to preserve my
integrity," he said. "I don't want to
be ashamed of Africa."
Following his speech, McKissick
answered several questions from the
floor about the future of education
for blacks.
"Educational institutions are in
bad shape," McKissick said. "So
many of the doors which were once
opened have been shut."
He suggested recruiting more black
students and teachers to college
campuses. "We can learn a great deal
from each other, and the only way
to do that is to be together," he said.
"The greatness of America is going
to be when all citizens can be fully
utilized and there is no more racism,"
McKissick said. "I pray for the day
when all men and women respect each
other for who they are."
