jMelodrama this weekend; proceeds
sto help the Shrine Burn Center
A charity benefit sponsored by Aca
Via fraternity in cooperation with the
! Lincoln Shrine Temple and Alpha Oml
Uron Pi sorority will aide the Shrine
Burn Center in Galveston, Texas.
The twelfth annual Acacia Melo
' drama, titled "The Adventures of Stud-
I Icy Dewleft, will be staged this Thurs-
liiv at 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday
;lt 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. at the Shrine
Activities Building, 1717 Yolande Ave.
The theme underlying the performan
,.nu U fun and entertainlni? for pvp.
( ' - r -
ryone, melodrama director Paul Nance
said.
The entertainment pokes fun at
campus life and the "classic melo
drama," Nance said. The material is
original and was written by members of
Acacia. The plot of the melodrama is a
take off on the legendary Dudley Doo-
right of the Canadian mounties.
Audience participation is encour
aged, Nance said. Popcorn can be pur
chased and is often thrown at the
actors and actresses on stage, he said.
Heckling also is encouraged. Alcoholic
and non-alcoholic beverages can be
purchased from the Shriners. Proceeds
from these sales go to Shriners.
Preparations began the third week
of school with auditions and commit
tee work. Committees are responsible
for set, make-up, props, publicity and
costumes, Nance said. The 46 cast
members have spent one to four hours a
week practicing and several hours this
week putting on the finishing touches.
Although the production has been
much work, the idea is simply to help
the Shrine Burns Center while having a
great time, Nance said. The goal is to
raise $2,500.
Tickets are $3.50 and can by pur
chased in the Union, at the door of the
Acacia and Alpha Omicron Pi houses.

Purple Haze 'Horses' on list of scariest
ITS A FARE
SCARY from Page TO
8. "Atrocity Exhibition" by Joy
Division. Did you ever wonder why no
one ever asked the surviving members
of Joy Division (now New Order) why
lead singer Ian Curtis hung himself?
Well, with this song actually on vinyl
and publicly available, there was no
need. Ian Curtis' droning voice works
as a beckoning finger into a room
where someone or a lot of someones are
being vivisected.
Sort of a punk version of "Portrait of
the Artist as A Young Man."
9. "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath"
by Black Sabbath. Played backward,
forward, with earphones, in a vacuum,
near a Geiger counter or in a Methodist
church, this song is surely possessed.
It's one of the very few justifications for
the Heavy MetalGoat God connection.
10. "Put a Spell on You" by
Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Hawkins used
to be carried on stage in a coffin. To
him, rock 'n' roll was a supernatural
rite that involved sexual impatience,
hypnotic rhythms, some howling at the
moon and an incantation to make
blood boil.
Forget the Credence Clearwater Re
vival version, this is the real thing.
11. "Anything" by the Cramps.
The Cramps are the standard by which
all other horror rock groups must be
judged. They writhe around in a minor
key world of garage psycho-billy. They
have fun in the company of zombies,
teen-age werewolves, vampires, sadists,
murderous ghouls and people who live
under rocks in swamps. I guess it's
their idea of a party. I guess it's mine,
too.
12. "Horses" by Patti Smith. I
don't think Cannibal and the Headhun
ters meant for "Land of 1,000 Dances"
to be treated this way. Patti is punk's
reigning matriarch and while Lenny
Kaye on guitar does the excruciating
work of a dental drill, Patti tells the
story of a teen-age date that culminates
in a heroin overdose and a gruesome
death. Every once in awhile the band
revs into "Land of 1,000 Dances."
13. "Birdies" by Pere Ubu. Lead
mutant David Thomas gets up in the
morning, puts his socks on and goes
somewhere. Not scary in itself but Dave
Thomas is on helium, ether, benzedrine,
mescaline and some drug I'm sure is
only sold in Haiti.
14. 'Purple Haze" by the Fibon
nacis. Yep, it is Hendrix's song. Yes, the
original was pretty menacing, but I'm
afraid the Fibonnacis have done it
definitively. Charles Manson opens the
songs, talking about changes in rock 'n'
roll, beating his palm on the table,
saying "Wow, man, wow!"
15. "Wake Me Up Before You
Go-Go" by Wham. I heard this song
once, I repeat, once in 1984 and it;
would not ieave my mind. Suddenly I
would be whistling or singing it for no
reason. This is musical mind control,
Soma for the zombies.
Anybody who threatens to "jitterbug
into your brain" is a threat, a menace
and should be avoided at all costs. ;
