-VIBES Lisa Pytlik/DN French say Sly deserves Oscar ^ According to The Associated Press, the French government re^ cently awarded its highest artistic ^ honor, the Order of Arts and Let ters, to what it believes is the United States’ greatest export: Sylvester k Stallone. During the prestigious T ceremony, the French openly criti cized the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences S- for not recognizing the acting prow ess of Stallone throughout his stud ded career. * The French have bestowed the ^ honor only a few times before, notably to Jerry Lewis for the same “achievement.” You know, the French never have won a war. According to Much Music, af ter* few years away from the glar ing limelight, folk superstar Tracy Chapman is about to release her third solo album, entitled “Matters of the Heart.” A national tour will follow, and she probably will join the Amnesty International World Tour come fall. -V-V-\-' Select magazine recently listed the winners of the Brit Music Awards, Britain’s equivalent to the Gram my s. PM Dawn and Seal mopped up in the Best New Artist categories, and deservedly so. R.E.M. picked up yet another award, this time for Best International Artists, and deservedly so. Queen finally won Song of the Year, for “The Best Days of Our Lives,” and deservedly so. And finally, in case you missed v-\-\-V-\— it the first time around, the concert * event known as Lollapalooza, a traveling sideshow of “alternative” bands, arts and causes, has de- ^ manded a sequel: “Lollapallooza II: the Revenge.” Hopefully, be ginning this summer, so says De tails magazine, the tour will fea- * ture about nine bands, and will headline the Red Hot Chili Pep pers. Well, at least the T-shirts still „ will be cool. — Compiled by Paul Winner —V-V-\-V-J Newvid Continued from Page 13 “Mystery Date” (PG-13) Teen ► heartthrob Ethan Hawke (“Dead Poet’s Society” and “Dad”) is Tom, a shy young man aching to have a date with „ his dream girl. Tom’s slick older brother, tired of seeing him mope over this girl, gives him a push in the right direction: He ► phones Geena, posing as Tom, and sets up a date. Then he lends Tom his vintage car, sets him up with a new ‘do and new duds, gives him some cash and sets him off for a night on the town. Unfortunately, big brother has many *. enemies and they all mistake Tom for him. The dream date turns into a night from hell, full of mystery, danger and mayhem. (Available 2/27) “Love and Murder” (R) A pho tographer tries to supplement his income by taking pictures of unsus ► peeling women. What he ends up with is photos of a brutal homicide. (Available 2/26) “Cheap Shots” (PG-13) Take the * storyline for “Love and Murder” (above), substitute a rural motel manager for the photographer, a video ► camera for the Nikon, and unsuspect ing couples for the unsuspecting women. What you get is a different title and a brutal double homicide * instead of just one. And they even come out on the same day. (Available 2/26) Theatrix to stage variety of comedies, dramas theater By George K. Stephan Staff Reporter The University of Nebraska-Lin coln’s spring season of Theatrix pro ductions begins this week with two one-act plays. “There’s always something hap pening in this building,” said Alex Gelman, organizer of the Theatrix series and assistant professor of the atre arts and dance. Theatrix serves as a forum for graduate and undergraduate students to direct plays, Gelman said, while still offering opportunity for other students to act. Rehearsals for the productions, which continue through May, are time consuming, Gelman said. Each pro rehearsals five days a week for about four weeks. These demanding schedules mir ror what theater in the real world is like, Gelman said. Anyone hoping to achieve a life in theater must under stand that it is hard, Gelman said, but it is also rewarding. Although most of the actors are students, local performers make up some of the casts as well, Gelman said. Parts were selected from audi tions at the beginning of the semester, he said. Israel Horovitz’s "The Indian Wants the Bronx” and Frank Manley’s “The Rain of Terror” began Thursday and run through Sunday. Performances are at 7 p.m. tonight and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Studio The atre in the Temple building. Both one-act plays try to explore the motivations behind violence from two perspectives, Gelman said. The first play shows the street through the eyes of two New York teenagers who encounter a lost East Indian man at a bus stop. Through their actions, the audience will sec vulnerability, anger and brutality. The second play examines vio lence through the eyes of a couple in its living room as the pair attempts to justify its calculated murder of an ex convict to the audience. Other plays this season include “Was He Anyone? a black comcay about society and government, and “Duet for One,” a moving story of a woman coming to grips with her multiple sclerosis and the effect of the disease on her career as a violin ist. Another play, Moliere’s classic farce “The Doctor in Spite of Him self,” is the tale about a lazy but clever woodcutter who makes the most he can out of his situations. The Theatrix season will include one play featuring original material by Paul Steger, assistant professor of theatre, arts and dance. Steger will perform the material in a one-man show, “Life in the Bush of Ghosts,” as a series of performance monologues. Also on the bill will be Israel Horovitz s short play, Line, which features five people waiting in a line, all trying to get ahead, but none of them sure where they are going. The season will close with two new plays, “Stars in the Morning Sky,” by Alexander Galin and “The Normal Heart,” by Larry Kramer. “Stars in the Morning Sky” is a somber story of four prostitutes who have been shipped out of Moscow in an attempt to tidy up the city before the 1980 Olympics. “The Normal Heart” is a story about a group of men with the AIDS virus who try to make the community aware of the disease and its problems.

Strip Continued from Page 13 ously about it.” “If you acta little more air-headed, you make more money.” Both women find fault with their profession. “It’s real fakey,” Nina says. “You’ve got to pretend to be someone else.” Noel says that even after several years in the trade, “It’s still scary. You don’t know what the crowd’s going to act like.” “Sometimes I just sit here and think, ‘Why the hell am I doing this?”’ she says. And both agree that it’s tough on relationships. “You have a tendency to take the job home with you,” says Noel, “I’d say, knowing other dancers and their relationships, that it’s a problem.” Nina says, “It’s a strain on rela tionships. (People) arc usually attracted by it in the beginning, but then they don’t trust you.” Dancers’ mates sometimes become jealous and want to dictate how the women can and can’t dance, Noel said. I asked each woman if she felt she understood men better than other people, because of her profession. Both fell they did. “Men arc more dishonest than I thought,” says Nina. She says she runs into customers with their wives on the street. “It’s pretty embarrassing to both of us,” she says. Teachers from Catholic schools, preachers,all kindsof people come in — people you’d think would avoid the place. “All men have that pervert instinct,” adds Noel. And I have to think she knows. So, guys, beware. While you arc watching that beautiful woman on the stage, she is watching you. And she’s got you all figured out. Sousa Continued from Page 13 the concert possible. One of Kloecker’s purposes for presenting the concert was to expose concert band members to their musi cal heritage. “We owe the existence of college bands today to people like Sousa,” he said. In 1927 Sousa awarded the cov eted Blue Star Cup to the University of Nebraska ROTC Band, the prede cessor to the university’s band pro gram. It was also in 1927 that Sousa consented to write the “University of Nebraska March.” Hudson said the University of Nebraska was one of only a few col leges that had its own Sousa March. Tickets for the concert cost S3 for students and $5 for non-students and arc available at the Lied Center box office. Proceeds from the concert will go to the band program’s scholarship fund. “Are you OK to drive?” “What's a few beers ? ” uDid you have too much to drink?” “I'm perfectly fine” FOR SALE 64 Printing 6 Copying 68 Recycling 2 Appliance* 72 Rentals 3 Bicycles 74 Tanning 4 Books 75 Tattooing 5 Clothing 76 Travel 7 Jewelry 80 Typing 6 Resume* 6 Computer* . 8 Furniture NOTICES 0 Garage Sales ^ 10 Miac.
