Review by Charles Lieurance Diversions Editor Coneheads. Lisa Lubner. Gilda Radnor's begged-out Colleen. Sam urai Tailor. Aykroyd's Julie Child. SNL Bored, without dates, our parents with more active social lives than we had, we'd sit home on Saturday nights skimming undetectable a- Tube Talk mounts of booze from our folks' bar. A little scotch, a little vodka, a little Grand Marnier, a little Sterno . . . drinks they wouldn't make you in bars even if you wore a flame proof suit. By the time the whole cast, Radner, Curtin, Aykroyd, Chase, Morris, Belushi, Murray and some great band like the Grateful Dead or, the B-52s or the Talking Heads, gathered on stage to wave so long, we were as zoned as Belushi probably was. We knew what "wired" meant, too. "Saturday Night Live" taught us. Now Saturday Night Live is back. It's been 1 1 years since Chevy Chase and Lome Michaels accepted their 1 - 4 iy r i ) Courtesy of Warner Bros. The Coneheads on the old "Saturday Night Live." Emmy awards, since they were hailed as the most creative burst of energy ever to hit TV and cursed as irrever ent, filthy, anti-American .... The newest SNL looks a lot like the first SNL, with its house band (The Hall and Oates band) and a mixed-bag Manhattan dress code. The first two shows even managed to get political without sounding like strident reactionaries. But the shows are relying heavily on SNL alumni, even in their choice of mus ical guests like Paul Simon and Randy Newman. In short, SNL still can't seem to climb aboard the unfathomably dull '80s. They don't have the electricity or the material. They seem too confused by the times themselves ever to manage a scathing parody. By next season Dennis Miller, who does the new SNL news spot, will have a movie contract.

Entertainment Letter D AT nvi tor c ' anti-popular I would like to convey my apprecia tion for the Daily Nebraskan's movie, music and concert reviews. The DN reviews always answer my questions about new movies or albums. When faced, with the difficult decision of what movie to see this afternoon, I always revert back to the review given in the DN. I look to see if the reviewer in the DN ripped to shreds, disliked or advised people to miss this particular movie, and if so, I go see it. To see how a new album sounds all I need to do is check the DN Review Board, and it the reviewer didn't care for it you can bet it sounds pretty good and will be on the top of the charts. Review of disappointing concerts assure me that a good time was proba bly had by all. I accommodate the DN on your coverage and your unique style of communicating to everyone that the best blessing a movie or album could receive is to receive a poor review from your staff. Your past record is clear: the most popular movies and records are the ones that the DN staff dislikes. Thanks again.

Sheldon weaves 3-stranded exhibit During the holiday season, the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery will present "The Woven Thread," a three-part exhibition featuring three distinct fiber arts: american quilts, oriental carpets and comtemporary fiber.

Kirk Winn will speak on oriental carpets Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Sheldon Auditorium.
